Fodor's Avators: What Would You Be?
 
Avators are an online phenmenon which i don't know all that much about except that virtual worlds are created and folks assume various roles in this virtual world, which works rather like the real world - with money, buying, selling things (sometimes with real money), etc.

If Fodor's created an Avator European Travel World or European Workaday World really What Role Would You Play?

Me - i'd be the owner of a B&B hotel in Amsterdam with a Coffeeshop attached. No doubt

and i'd own some Agricultural tourism gourmet farm in Tuscany for a second home

What kind of avator would you be? Onw a Parisian cafe, B&B in Swiss Alps, Mountain Guide? Pub Owner? Etc.

I only use avatars on other forums, when I add a picture. Sometimes I use one of my dogs, sometimes I find a suitable picture online to use.
I have never thought of creating a "second-life" type of Avatar. i have enough problems with my first life without creating a second one. ;)

Exasperated, world weary, gussie fink-nottle.

2nd thought maybe i'd be a London Bobby - cushy job, overpaid underworked - not really a on the street Bobby but some desk-jockey where i'd inspect exotic dancing pubs, etc. Kind a Talibanesque morals vice squad.

Nothing, but then I think avatars are just eye candy for the cerebrally challenged.

Ah the possibilities i hadn't dreamt of - becoming the next David Beckham

Or maybe Queen of England? not sure i'm up to that

Producer of the finest chevre in my department of France, and living on outskirts of a village with two excellent competing bakeries. Profits adequate for periodic vacations.

visually I guess that would have to be a nanny goat with baguette in her mouth.

I'd have to be an OLD goat though i suspect goats on goat farms don't live all that long before heading to the nearest boucherie
