What’s the picture on your checks? Is it ‘you’?
Mine have corny whales swimming underwater.
I got checks that my ex ordered and they aren’t ‘me’ but she bought the Special Offer of 2 boxes, which is 10 years supply and I write so few checks, just bills, that I haven’t bothered to change.
Mine have an antique-looking map of the world. It’s not me, but I couldn’t find any sailboat designs that I liked. I’ll have to order more soon - who knows what the next batch will be…
I haven’t seen my checkbook since 1989…when I got married. I think they had airplanes on 'em. Or clowns.
When I chose my checks it was a toss-up between the rodeo scenes and the pretty mountains. I chose the pretty mountains 'cause they looked less tacky. Of course I never actually write checks; I use the debit card for everything, but I still carry my checkbook around with me.
My checks have flowery script and are lavendar and sea-foam green.
Blech.
What can I say, my ex-wife picked them out and I haven’t used them all yet.
If I were gay, I think they’d be perfect.
I am having a culture shock moment. In the United Sates, it is possible to choose the pattern on one’s cheques (note odd Brit spelling)? How unexpected.
Hey pal, gay guys are not honorary girls, and we don’t all go in for flowery script and femme colors.
Yes, Tansu, you can choose your own check designs here in the US, either through your bank or through one of the companies that advertises in Sunday newspapers. My checks have Marvel[sup]TM[/sup] superheroes on them. Before that, they had Dilbert comics on them.
Sure, Tansu, we can order checks with nearly anything on them.
Here’s a example:

But - to answer the original question - my checks aren’t “me”, they’re “her”.

Mine have leaves on them, which I like because I’m into leaf motifs and I am learning more and more about wood as I am espoused to a woodworker.
Turns out two of my coworkers chose the exact same check design.
Mine have some sort of seascape. I guess they’re fine. Just came fro mthe bank that way. I dont really care one way or another, though. I only use one check a month-my mortgage payment.
Everything else is debit card or e-paid.
I’d like to find some with a “Road Kill Series” motif.
I used to have the “Flying Pigs” scene. But they didn’t show up well (you know, shrunk and Xeroxed) on my bank statement. Then I got a lovely Asian Toile-like motif, that got me a lot of compliments.
Now I have a picture of a boot and spur, and they say, “Yee-HAAAAA!”
It makes me laugh. 
I’ve got National Park pictures on mine. I think there is Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Glaicer and a couple more. Yes they are me since I like to visit such places. I thought about putting Ford Mustangs on mine but since I don’t own one right now I decided against it.
I have the cutest Winnie the Pooh checks! They have 4 designs that rotate between Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore. I love writing checks, except for the giving away money part.
Hmm, I just have the Bank of America logo, which is in itself a rather eloquent way of expressing certain personal traits:
Funny, I was going to say it wasn’t me at all, but I guess it is, in a way…
Mine are gray with a maroon border and don’t have any artwork on them.
They say, “This guy is too cheap to order fancy checks so he took the ones the credit union gives him for free.”
Zap!
Like Zappo, my checks are the blue plain standard issue checks the bank gives me. That way I can imagine any design or image I want on the checks, and have a different aesthetic experience each time I write one.
Heh. Actually, I’m too cheap to buy decorated checks!
Okay “buddy”. Didn’t say that you were.
<ahem> If “I” (that’s me… you know myself… not anyone else) were gay, “I” (there’s that personal pronoun again) think they’d be perfect.
Maybe I should’ve tacked a “for me” on the end there, but I think it comes across pretty clearly that if I were a homosexual, I’d be an “honorary girl” (your words not mine) type, knowing me and my personality. And, that those checks would fit me personally.
<sigh>
[sub]I’d prolly also be a bottom too.[/sub]
Actually, ChecksUnlimited (see Belrix’ link above) non-premium checks are cheaper than what my bank charges me for checks. I’d rather get personalized, attractive checks than plain, bland checks from the bank, particularly when the plain, bland checks are more expensive.
My current checks are scenes from Disney movies. The funny thing is that Mr Winnie recently took over the bill paying (after one too many comments about the way I was doing it) - just after the order of Disney arrived. I tried to alternate them though - one set in “my” style, and one that was less obviously feminine. He used to write so few checks that I’d go through two boxes before he used one book, so he’d always have some that didn’t offend his masculine dignity.
A rubber ball.

Mine are super-cool - DC Heroes, baby! Superman, Batman, the Flash, and Wonder Woman!
Sadly, they do not make these anymore. The address on them is wrong, and is going to get wronger when I move next month, but I love them so much I’ll use 'em up before settling for something less Gundesque.
