Hmmm i'm tempted to ask if anyone else was tbending around at weird angles to look at Gruntys avatar and see if it really was his chin....

umm never mind

Its my chin - I'm frowning in the real pic (a mock frown for laughs, you had to be there - it involved beer). You should see it!

It looks like my chin is smiling.

As you see, I have no avatar....this is because I am much to deep and complex to be represented adaquatly in such a small space.

Besides, I can't find one that says, "yes, I AM totally wasted, and plan to stay that way indefinaltly".

@T'

LOL, these were on a digital camera. A bunch of people who met on a DVD site went for beers in London. The pics were on the site a few days later....

@ Grunt

So in other words your mug shot was all over the net??

;p I suppose it's better than pics of you streaking 'round London

Gruntboy · Post by **Gruntboy** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 9:42 am

Yes. You may already have received it in a "Look at this freaky drunk dude" e-mail.

My two cents

Someone yesterday voiced the fear that the new avatar feature would result in a hundred different demon pictures - I think that with this bunch, he needn't have worried. With classy people around like T'lainya, Yshania, and Sojourner, we need never have our eyes offended. With funny people like Gruntboy, Flanders, and C. Elegans, we can always have a laugh. I doubt this will degenerate into a quest to get the most evil looking demon picture.

A few comments about what works and what doesn't: Remember that the picture will be displayed on a black background, so some things work better than others (This is the problems with most colored fonts as well). Also, since the picture is so small, details won't show, so the simpler the better.
