I thought this would be the best place to post this. Im just wondering what exactly my avatar is suppose to be. I think its pretty cool. To me it looks like a German Afrika Krops soldier smoking a cig. Maybe it is maybe it isn't. But if anyone has any ideas at to what it is i would apprieciate it. Thanks

That is Johnny Depp, playing Hunter S. Thompson, in the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

He's driving through the desert covering a very dusty motorcycle race in the desert outside Vegas.

Thanks .22guy. Like I said i didn't know for sure and I have seen pics of afrika krops soldiers before and it looked pretty close to one of them. By the way. Is it a good movie?

You're welcome. The movie based on the book of the same name. It is kinda different. Lots of drugs involved. Basically he gets loaded, drives to Vegas to cover this big motorcycle race, and keeps getting loaded. Not a lot of point to it, really.
