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.

This was quite funny. So on one hand, some HankAvatars [TM] give you a bad vibe, and on the other you feel they can be used for good, not evil and are some sort of good luck talisman for sports? Interesting take on the whole thing.
