For those that wonder why i have a russian/soviet avatar...

By Gadge, in X-Wing Off-Topic

For my job i have to write about and dress up in old army kit :)

So KGB 'PV' Border Guards dog handler kit.....

(and the hat is *supposed* to be that small, its an odd fashion the russian army have... the longer you've served the smaller you get your hat to be... look i dont make the rules alright ?: :) )

Nice dog! I'll forgive thd cap. :-)

Just so you know Gadge, I've never, ever actually wondered this.

Oh a long time ago someone took my avatar to be my 'political belief' and got a bit antsy thinking i was being unpatriotically 'commie'.

I explained in the thread at the time that it was a fairly 'unique' avatar on here as i get confused with eighty guys all having the same 'tie fighter pilot' pic and i also put up a pic of me in russian kit.

This is my first shoot for the magazine with actual KGB kit though so i stuck it up :)

Good lad Gadge, don't let a little redneck xenophobia keep you down! :P

Wow. I actually take some offense at whoever that was thinking. Taking that logic to it's ultimate conclusion would he have thought I was a nazi? (does that even show on the forum? if not, member of a political party of 30's to 40s Germany responsible for many bad things, which the Empire is clearly based off of ).

You forget the many good things they brought as well.

You clearly think this persons thinking is a joke, why would you be offended?

Also I'd just like to point out that you vaguely resemble a militarised Dexter Fletcher in that picture mate.

You weren't Press Ganged into service, were you?

See? This is exactly why I have the Black Pharaoh, avatar of the demon messenger Nyarlathotep, for an avatar.*

*Yes, my avatar is an avatar. (Avatarception)

Blue is my favourite colour.

Duros are my favourite aliens from Age of Rebellion and Force & Destiny.

If I was living in the Star Wars I'd want to be a starfighter pilot, and Duros are known for being pilots.

My hair is thinning and I wear glasses so I might look like a Duros soon.

Oh, and my current Google profile photo is a Duros.

If anyone is offended by my choice of avatar you can blow it out your exhaust port and stop being such a dumbass nerf herder.

Offended by an Avatar! Now I've heard it all.

I really like Citadels.

I just like the silly space ship for mine. Pew pew!
