[SIZE=+1]the [SIZE=+2]C[/SIZE]OBRA (iaret)[/SIZE]
Appearance: The cobra was almost always portrayed rearing up and with its hood dilated. The Greek word uraeus is typically used to describe the cobra in this pose. The word may have its origins from the Egyptian words which meant "she who rears up". The species of cobra represented as the uraeus is the Naja haje.
Meaning: According to the Story of Re, the first uraeus was created by the goddess Isis who formed it from the dust of the earth and the spittle of the sun-god. The uraeus was the instrument with which Isis gained the throne of Egypt for her husband Osiris.
The uraeus was a symbol for various things from early times including: the sun, Lower Egypt, the king and a number of deities.
As the sacred creature of the Delta city of Buto, the reptile was known by the same name. She soon became an emblem of all of Lower Egypt. The uraeus was often depicted with the vulture Nekhebet who served the same function for Upper Egypt. Together they symbolized the unification of the two lands. The creatures also appear together in the pharaoh's nebty or "Two Ladies" name.
The cobra was also called the "fiery eye" of Re and two uraei were sometimes depicted on either side of the solar disk.
A gilded wooded cobra called netjer-ankh ("living god") was found in the tomb of Tutankhamon (see picture at left). It is representative of the cobra's associations with the afterlife. In funerary works, the cobra is often depicted spitting fire. Two cobras doing just that were said to guard the gates of every "hour" of the underworld. During the Late Period, uraei were also shown towing the barque of the sun in funerary papyri. In all of these examples, the cobra's protective nature is clearly demonstrated.
The cobra was also representative of various deities such as Neith, Ma'at, and Re.

*having a mischievous thought about everyone now changing their avatars so that none of this thread makes any sense* :rolleyes:

I guess than this thread will change as often as avatars than.

My avatar (current) is about my not wanting to be recognized as only a boner (previous). I Photoshoped the eyes because no one ever sees the eyes.:cool:

My avatar is me, stickin my tongue out, wearing a hoodie, shades and big Amarao eyebrows.

For those who don't know who Commander Amarao is, he's a character from a cartoon series (anime) called FLCL or Fooly Cooly

My avatar reflects how silly I am :D

I got bit by a tiger (well, nipped in the ankle by a tiger cub). It's always been a good totem for me. Found it in the selections, and added it.

Take care

My avatar and profile pic significance...


This is one of my favorite postcards. It is a boxer type guy with leather lace corset gauntlets. This picture symbolizes me (Even though, it isn't me! Duh! Hehehe!) I am invisible to people in real life. I am really ordinary. I am always on guard and defensive. I have expressive eyes (not as expressive as HickBoy's though). I am comfortable with the invisible powers. I have been for the longest time. Ever since I was a kid. I choose freedom over fame any day.

It is a skull with three eye sockets. It appeared when death or level 5 death was cast in the game Final Fantasy 5. The third eye means inteligence, or intuition. I no longer remember. I'm thinking of getting a tatoo of it.

Mine is self explanatory. It's significance is that I'm a lot like Taz, always in a blur. Taz is my idol, I love anything Taz. I have Taz boxers, T-shirts, keychains and even a Taz tattoo on my left upper arm. I wanted him on my penis but they charged 100 bucks extra for genital tatooing. When it was done I was glad I decided on my arm instead of my penis.

A friend has a tattoo on his penis, it says "Shorty" or at least that's what I thought it said. When he got hard it said "Shorty's Bar and Grill, Chattanooga, Tennessee".:eek:

All the avatars I will ever post will be pics of me. My current one is a cropped picture of my chest with me wearing my leather and chain harness and black 2(x)ist Jock taken late last year.

these pics make me wanna have it hot and sweaty...know what I'm sayin?


GrrRRRr... Yeah, I know. Nothing better than some hot fucker in bed with you, pounding you, sweating on you, dripping, letting you use his sweat as lube to jack before you flip him and take his ass. My harness always puts me in a randy ass mood. WOOF!!

Also, the great thing about a harness is you can hold onto to it while I'm fucking you or you can hold onto it while you're fucking me.
