Your profile picture

Is there a story behind your profile picture at RateBeer? Just a random picture or your pretty face as good as it can be? Mine is rather random but certainly beer related! It is from the now closed down “U Slovanské Lípy” in Praha (Prague) back in 2012. One of my better beer experiences as a place rater. Kout na Sumave, sadly also retired, did make some great beers!

I was in Oaxaca like 12 years ago and put fireworks in one of those big 2 L caguama bottles of lager. Took a few tries to get the photo right, though still pretty blurry

Mine is of my pug, Morris, seeking a bit of cool on a really hot day. He’s no longer with us, but I’ll always keep that pic. Makes me smile every time I see it!

Mine is the official Emoji for Päntsdrunk/kalsarikänni. I then spent hours editing it so that it looked more like me.

When I was a kid there was a Cobra poster in my local video rental. Back then such establishments had a magic aura and that poster seemed very cool. To be frank I can’t remember the movie itself, was more Rambo guy.

I always figured people might think that since some of my posts here are a bit rude :innocent:

@BlackHaddock will be glad to know that mine’s a Shropshire scene… it’s me on top of a hill called The Wrekin back when I was walking to the highest point in every English & Welsh county and unitary authority.

There was a cloud inversion while we were there, so we were in gorgeous sunshine on the summit, with a sea of white cloud below only the highest hill tops and one factory chimney were poking through - absolutely stunning!

I can see the Wrekin from my back garden.

It’s a glacier terminus, as I am sure you are aware; although folk law around here says it is made from sand and dirt from a giants shoe when he took it off and emptied it out.

Mine is from a plush Devil that my wife had when we met and that has followed us ever since.

Also found a smaller identical one around the time my daughter was born, so she has her own devil now.

Picture from one of my favorite Estonian comics (very dry humor, has a lot of booze jokes!)

Rabbit: This has some nasty side flavor.
Wolf: Maybe hedgehog peed in it?

Hedgehog: Maybe yes, maybe not. Nowadays it is hard to understand what’s going on.

Basically this is how most our tastings with FatPhil and Marduk go.
