You should know better than to put such requests to some of the grapes that we both know and love - the suggestions could come back and bite you !
I shall abstain on the grounds that I wanna stay friends !!
But will watch with interest !!

I think an Avatar is some essential manifestation of yourself Nicos. It's up to you to choose. Look forward to seeing it.

I think you should have an ever changing parade of what you have recently harvested. That'll keep us on our toes!
Actually, I seem to have had this one for ages.... Must swap it....

I thought you were a dude for ages, so something like this would suit in my opinion:



Hermaphroditus, the Greek God child of Hermes and Aphrodite.
