How often (if at all) do you change your avatar? [View all]

I tend to do it about once a quarter, barring some special event ("I voted", marriage equality, a team I like in the playoffs, etc.) I also notice a lot of people don't seem to at all (and I realize it can be confusing to have someone whose avatar you know change it).

Anyways, my XKCD image is getting a little long in tooth so I was thinking of switching again.
