Great headshots, David. Especially these ones.

It's the title character from Heinlein's "Job: A Comedy of Justice", taken from the cover of the book. Given some time and initiative, I could tell you which edition and the artist, but that's not likely.

Works very well for the handle "Loser". I'm sure you're familliar with the original namesake, who also fits the handle pretty well.

Speaking of headshots, I was inspired by some Posts in another thread...

Leeloo, have you seen my Multi-pass?

this one looks like one from a game called fantasy empires, based on a shared world, forget what it's called.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It doesn't fit the original namesake, the one from the Bible. He started out as the wealthies person around - "He had seven sons and three daughters, and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large number of servants. He was the greatest man among all the people of the East." Job 1:2-3. Sure, he had a very nasty low point, but he gets back up "The Lord blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the first. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys." Job 42:12

I know plenty well how the story goes.

But he's know for the part of his life that sucked. See below comment by Puke for convenient anecdotal evidence.

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

There was definitely a period of Job's life that sucked big time, no lo contendre on that aspect. However he wasn't so much a loser as temporarily cursed. I don't believe hard times necessarily make a person a loser; I think there's more to it than that.

Mind you, it is a matter of word definitions on this aspect, and people can disagree on those rather easily, with no difinitive way to determine who is right. You might consider him a loser, I don't think the label is appropriet. We dissagree? Happens; I suppose it doesn't exactly matter much, does it?
