Question BP what IS that thing....

[jlepre]

...in your avatar? Since we can't PM you, this is the only way I will ever find out. It has been bugging me for over a year now.

Its my understanding that its a small scale version of Ursula - the robot buffer.

 

[bovinehost]

That is what it is, according to all reports. I've TRIED to get him to send me a hi-res version of it for a poster in my studio.

A few years back Chewie in Slo rigged up a new Imac in my office there and ut had that photobooth software and I was playing around with it and there was a model of the robot (Ursula) and I just pretended it was attacking me...kind of like a cross between the chick magnet attacks and the ones I get on talk bass....I just havent changed it

It always looks to me like BP is wearing scrubs and some sort of goggles, kind of like a mad scientist (or DEVO) sort of thing.

 

[Big Poppa]

actually Ursula has been replaced by a young hottie...she is a backup old cougar now

 

[Colin]

must be time for another BP avatar comp then?

I was thinking similar but with some sort of scary sadistic dental type theme. . Funny what you can read into a teeny tiny picture.

Not opposed to the idea, but, I kinda like the one he has now. I enjoyed trying to figure out what it was. It is unique, funny, and puzzling all at once.

LOL since I'm here I've more than one occasion wondered " why a whacked out Sax?" I guessed I shoulda' leaned in closer.

That's exactly what I thought it was. Thanks BP for clearing up my confusion.

 

[Duarte]

I thought it was a sax too! weird? Yes!

At first I thought it was one of those old acoustic record player thingies...don't know what they're called.

 

[bassmonkeee]

Ursala has been replaced? Wow.


Well, still--you never forget your first....um....robot.

 

[Big Poppa]

Just a younger version....actually the ones we ned are not made anymore so we found one that Honda Motors used in a r and d test center with virtually no hours on it and never any production work
