[Hank Chinaski]

I probably get 10 PMs a day asking about my avatars. I thought it might be helpful to post some general rules I follow and also 1 specific issue I am now considering.

In general I like to change them every few days. i am always looking for new ideas. sometimes over dinner at a smart restaurant, a flash of genius will come and I'll say to the wife "mona lisa Hank," or something. Sometimes, perhaps due to the available images it won't work well. The ncs-hank or the Mona lisa Hank are examples.

I will of course go to holiday specific or timely newsy hanks.

Plus i like to go back the baseline at least every few weeks to keep the source in mind.

Here is what's odd- I get bad vibes when certain Hanks are up. The old lady (not bea) which is Hank's mom- when she is up no one gives my posts the love. I don't get that. I know why people hate the B&W Hitler-Hank, but it is technically and artistically the best Hank- and consider that the artist lost as many relatives to Hitler as most of you.

but the above is merely background for my current problem. For awhile when I had Ben Wallace Hank up the Pistons didn't lose. So he was up for all big games- wanna see the ring? But then he started to fade. By last year's playoffs I had resoted to Jesus-Hank, which worked for awhile, but then faded.

Anyway, I'm at a lose for a solid World Series choice. Maybe a Tiger would work- Ben W worked at first- but maybe it won't work.

Maybe dmitri Young hank? he was a Tiger but got kicked off, plus he has good hair. A Prophet mohammed Hank would offend, no?

I really need to put some thought into this, and any ideas are welcome.
