while appropriately sized, I feel that neither NFH's Johnny Depp nor NotBob's Daria properly express my personality. NFH also (understandably) violates the "same gender" rule.

I'm thinking I need a more positive image. No severed anything. Maybe an adorable little kitten?

NotBob, you are oh-so-funny. I heart you. You should know this by now. I particularly heart you because you already had the avatar someplace and I'm sure have not been spending huge amounts of time locating an avatar for me.

I would say you people need to get lives, but your eagerness to please is beneficial to me so I won't.

You'll try this exactly once before realizing that they call them "jewel cases" because they cut through a wooden coffee table like Deuced's diamond hard nipples. I guess gay dudes really do live in flats with furniture made entirely of stainless steel and glass.

I really like fringey. Although, now that I think about it, she does seem to ignore my advice. And my witticisms. I mean, I made a few amusing comments yesterday, but did she tell me how funny I was? No. Hmm. Maybe I am a little bit annoyed. Or maybe more hurt than annoyed. Yeah. Hurt. Just a little, though; I mean, I ain't no wussy guy that cries or nothin. Not too much, at least. But, you know, sometimes it just really bothers me, and ...[/SIZE]

Not Bob, I love your suggested avatar for Fringey (really, Fringe, listen to the man, I think it works), and I love your avatar too, and I thought you were amusing yesterday.

Didn't anyone ever teach that lady that you're supposed to use safety scissors for arts-and-crafts, not the big sharp dangerous ones?

I bet she did after the disembowelment lawsuit, anyway.

Not because it involves a cat picture and my avatar is a puppy, but because an avatar sized picture of a cat flipping the bird is such a perfect response to fringey's post.

Levenger makes those little single-sheet cutters with the ceramic nib that work fantastically on CDs.

It's the only housekeeping tip I know, so even though it's boring, I'm really excited to be able to give it.

Honestly, I feel that Daria is a little too representative of me. In honor of the election season, I feel the need to spin myself -- superfically present a kinder, gentler face to the world.

Too late.

I actually tried to use that one, but it's too wide. Sizing, people, sizing.

That means you, Slave, not that I'd use Roseanne anyway. But you proffered her before I added the "kinder, gentler" part so you are only penalized for the sizing issue.

Um, given that it's a holiday weekend, may I suggest that all of you who are looking for avatars at work just leave early? Or are you waiting for a package that you need to take with you so you can't leave? I am. It sucks.

No, never turn your back to your audience.

Jezzus Beezus.

Step 1: Get Irfanview
Step 2: Find a picture you like (hint -- google images is a good source)
Step 3: Grab said image by right-clicking, and saving to desktop.
Step 4: View the image with irfanview
Step 5: Resize the image with irfanview
Step 6: Upload it into your profile.

I'm a techno idiot, and I was able to master everything about avatars (except picking a good one).

Geez, who knew you'd actually use something from me.
Since I'm not a mod and don't have the magical powers, you need to find a way to steal this one that has been properly sized for your convenience, and I will get my old one back.

Ah, nevermind.
