DU seriously needs a new infusion of 'People' Avatars if you ask me ... Add Yours Here!

People Icons we are (at least appear to be, forgive me if didn't see them) missing:

Rachel!
Paul McCartney
Stones/Jagger/Richards
David Bowie
Paul Simon
Robert Smith (The Cure)
Iron Maiden/Eddie
Rush
Metallica
John Oliver
Sam Bee
Alec Baldwin as Trump
DeNiro as Mueller
Kate McKinnon as (various people)
Some GoT characters
Some Monty friggin' Python

Seems like it's been forever since the list was touched. Time for some new blood!

I wish there were some "key/index"... I once asked a poster who was depicted in their avatar and boy, you'd have thought I'd just confessed to being a "flat-earther" LOL (and no, I never got the answer)

Never know, though ... it might not be 'over' when the show is over this Sunday ...

I suppose maybe a copyright issue, possibly ... but I see sites showing stills from the show all the time ... and every other show/movie ...

Moar Kittehs would be good too!

click on "My Profile" at upper right of page. then scroll down to "Avatar image" and click Edit. right before the menu of categories is a link that says " Or upload your own." at that link you can browse files on your computer to upload.

I remember that I had to use some free editing program to shrink the image

Thanks!

Still ... it's a lot easier (esp. if people are on DU using phones) to just click a pic already there
