Is my avatar "dodgy"? (i.e. "shady", "seedy", "questionable")

[jamespowers]

Something Matei mentioned recently made me think... is my avatar "dodgy"? (i.e. "shady", "seedy", "questionable")

I originally posted a pic of me when I joined the lounge last fall, in a suit with a backward baseball cap (joke), captioned "hatless", asking if the lounge is only for hat-wearers (of which I am not one). My avatar is cropped from that. Thus my expression, from when I was asking the original question.

But wondering now, out of context, if I might put folks off looking too... "dodgy"... let me know thanks

I was looking at it and, forgive me if this sounds like an insult, I thought you used a picture of Adam Corolla. That is really you. Sorry about that.
I guess it could be worse but I think the avatar is just fine no matter who it is. :eusa_clap

Regards,

J

You're sporting a fine smirk there, Cousin Hepcat! I have one as well, though in my youth several nuns threatened to wipe it off my face.

 

[Joe Bagofdonuts]

I'm not sure, but I think it's Hank Williams.

It is old Hank, after all.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I'm not sure, but I think it's Hank Williams.

... who loved The Grapes of Wrath and wrote a glowing review of the film in an American Communist newspaper. (It's like the six degrees of Kevin Bacon.)

Your face looks apologetic, like youre caught in an "oops", as first I thought dodgy, but now its more, "you caught me"

LD

I'm not so sure about apologetic, but it's definitely got the "Oops, you got me!" thing going on.

 

[TommySalieri]

Are you kidding me? You look as weasel-ish as an ambulance-chasing lawyer; if not worse!

Just kidding.
lol

 

[mysterygal]

no worries! Hepcat, you look great! you actually remind me a little of Pierce Brosnan :eusa_clap keep the avatar

 

[scotrace]

Hey! *pout*

*EYE* wanted to be seedy!

Are you kidding me? You look as weasel-ish as an ambulance-chasing lawyer; if not worse!

Just kidding.
lol

I used to chase ambulances...

 

[PrettySquareGal]

You look like the fellows in the old magazine ads. That's good.

 

[jake_fink]

Are cats who swallow canaries dodgy?


(You do look a little shiftless, however. Has anyone tried to shift you lately?)

 

[Cousin Hepcat]

The rake's progressing.

Heyyyy, Wait A Minute... I just looked up "rakish" (I'd always assumed from context in movies, etc that it meant "handsome")... it means "immoral and dissolute (immoral)"! Methinks I've been bamboozled! lol kinda funny the way you did it though, so it's ok!

LD, yes, the original context of the expression was "apologetic" (no hat).

 

[LizzieMaine]

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of...

rak¬?ish1 (rā'kĭsh) pronunciation
adj.

1. Nautical. Having a trim, streamlined appearance.
2. Dashingly or sportingly stylish; jaunty.

 

[pablocham]

Pablochan, your avatar looks like John Carradine as "the preacher" in The Grapes of Wrath.

.

It is Hank Williams in the jailhouse, but I am not certain of the when or the why. I recently saw a photo of Hank III copping the same shirtless pose.

 

[RedPop4]

Not dodgy or questionable.

 

[Rosie]

I think he looks rather handsome, like a nice older cognac ad, or something along those lines.

 

[fortworthgal]

Personally, I think you look rather handsome, in a jaunty sort of way.

Keep it!

Hmmmmmmmm.....
.....
OKAY i'll buy it

Thanks all for the honest comments & complements, I think the survey says this avatar can stay until I can get some vintage threads and a hat (not sure when though, lot going on now) - PS I really like the comparisons to Hank Williams Sr and never noticed before, Jamespowers, how much I do look like Adam Corolla! man that's almost Scary! lol

Swing High,

You know, I'm just not sure...

...can we get 'Filthy' to weigh in on this one? lol

Ah haha, I was going to call it "cute," but then realized it might not be the best thing to say considering you're a man.
