Here's mine.
 
Zhu Bajie is one of the three helpers of Xuanzang in the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West.

Zhu Bajie is a complex and developed character in the novel. He looks like a terrible monster, part human and part pig, who often gets himself and his companions into trouble through his laziness, gluttony, and propensity for lusting after pretty women. He is jealous of Sun Wukong and always tries to bring him down.

Xuanzang gave him the nickname Bājiè which means "eight restraints, or eight commandments" to remind him of his Buddhist diet.

Zhu Bajie originally held the title of Tiānpéng Yuánshuài (天蓬元帅; lit. "Marshal Canopy"), commander-in-chief of 80,000 Heavenly Navy Soldiers. He was later banished, however, for misbehaviour. At a party organized for all the significant figures in Heaven, Bajie saw the Goddess of the Moon for the first time and was captivated by her beauty. Following a drunken attempt to sexually harass her, she reported this to the Jade Emperor and thus he was banished to Earth.
 
I'm not Chinese but Dutch but I have studied some Chinese language and culture and have a special place in my heart for that country, it's rich culture and it's inhabitants.
I have seen a TV series of this story and liked the Zhu Bajie character. I like to think I'm a bit like him.
He has been my avatar eversince.

My avatar is Glenn Gould, the Canadian classical pianist known for his Bach interpretations..
 
What can I say, I'm a huge fan of his Bach, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart (at times hilarious) and R. Strauss. I don't care much about all the stories about his supposed eccentric behaviour..
 
The man was a genius so that's how they roll..

OMG. You win +1000 internets for that picture, bro. ROFLMAO.
 
Personally, I was thinking about changing mine to the shot below. I just can't quite, however, because I'm a guy, and I don't want anyone thinking I'm a chick.

That picture has breasts in it... most ppl would assume that due to the obvious and excellent clevage + beer that you are a man. Since us men do love both of those things. A women how ever would not have such a simple visual for a mans most basic pleasures lol. Go for it man!
