Thanks for all the posts everyone! (And sorry about my sappy, late-night, "wouldn't it be great if we could all get together" post. It was how I was feeling at the time but I think I've learned that Martinis & posting usually aren't a good mix. )
Moggy Lover: Love the cat. She's beautiful. You know the difference between dogs & cats don't you? Dogs have owners...............Cats have staff.
MsMcDucket: The purple ribbon is very thoughtful. I wish I knew how to paste a little one onto my avatar like Little Toe and others have done. Someday.
Richie Rich: You're my alter-ego dude! If someone took a picture of us standing next to each other, I'd be the PC guy and you'd be the Mac. Actually, I think you're way beyond Mac.
My avatar was taken in the bathroom at the Kingdom Hall, shortly after a meeting with the elders.
I love your avatar even more now! That Rocks!! I think there's a little Richie Rich in all of us.
Amazing: You're avatar's one of my all-time faves. That drooling blue guy says a lot.
Little Drummer Boy:
Having to stop making music with a band was like ripping my guts out.
Glad to hear you got your guts back. Too bad your life story of how you ripped your guts out and left them on the floor for the rest of your life won't appear in the Awake! now.
Bigmouth: Glad to see another Morissey fan on the board. My kids like him too. At first they were just hooked by some of his "pretty songs". Then they realized how wickedly subversive a lot of his lyrics are and still like him.
Madame Quixote:
I think it's appropriate to use any icon the Society would criticize. Since anime is very widespread, popular, and full of sex, death and violence, it suits me at the moment.
I like your style, Madame. Sophisticated, yet somewhat dangerous.
What-A-Coincidence: You always keep me guessing. I never know what picture to expect next. Keep on changing.
Numinous: Love your picture. It's hypnotic; among other things.
brunnhilde: Get back in your place, Woman!!!
Hortensia: You too!!
Warlock: Every time I see your avatar I can't help but think of Blue Oyster Cult. I've got my cross, garlic, wooden spike, and plenty of other powerless amulets to keep you at bay. Get behind me Satan!!! Sorry if, in typical dub-fashion, I've lumped warlocks in with vampires. It's all the same thing you know.
Ozziepost: Like another poster already said, I'll never look at your smiling avatar the same way again. Good reality check reminder.
I gotta go for now. If there's any more out there, keep 'em coming.
