I've been wondering about this awhile, but was reluctant to ask for feas someone would call me a racist or something. I'm not, at all, but I am curious, why the black dudes on TV use their pictures in their avatars and absolutely no one else does. I don't know that all do, but I noticed, CaptMoneyShot, PaulUSA, JefferyStanthorpe (though he may be taking the piss having observed same), Nebukanezar, and I think one more that I've forgotten. Are they more confident than everyone else, more vain, why might it be?

What about Udon ?

Was he really a cat ?

Did he ever get stopped by the cops on a helmet check or did the

fruit peel look convincing enough.

Are there special keyboards for cats ?

No, I don't think he was, nor am I a dog. I really don't get your meaning. If it's to say they aren't pictures of themselves, they have posts that say thet they are. So, you don't seem to know either I guess.

edit: I don't think their are special keyboards for cats, but there is special software that says it can detrmine when your cat is walking on your keyboard and prevents it from selling your portfolio.

Starbucks have just revealed a new one for the early morning feline.... it's called a Cat Frap.

P.S. lannarebirth, I do get your meaning.... it isn't exactly wrong, but it isn't quite right, way of the world I'm afraid.

Yeah, I guess you're right Thaddeus. Maybe I should have posted in the "Why" thread. Some things just are and no one knows why, and God forbid you should be curious about it.

Whether it's to do with their race or where they come from (all you mentioned are from the US, aren't they?), or just coincidence, I would say all of the guys you mentioned are (errrm, how can I put it nicely?) extremely confident men with fairly good impressions of themselves & perhaps inordinately large egos.

They're not the only people that use themselves in their avatars, though. Rainman has a pic of himself & his wife & I believe soundman's is of himself & his child, though I could be wrong. (And of course, myself, JG, kayo & LBD all have our own pics for avatars.... )

My avatar is a picture (x-ray actually) of me, whats the problem ??

True. If I were a handsome black boy, I'd post my own photo, too.

You do know an avatar is supposed to be an expression of your personality, Austhaied, don't you? The amount you've had lately, I'm beginning to think you're having an identity crisis! How's your EQ? Do you need your meds upping?

I wasn't talking about avatars that aren't the poster. I was talking about avatars that are real pictures of the poster, which doesn't occur very much at all here (maybe it should, I don't know). I just thought it was a statistical anomaly and was wondering if anyone had an explanation for it. I guess not. I don't watch TV, so I'm not clued in to a lot of current popular trends so I thought I might haver missed something.

Unfortunately, there will be no puppies forthcoming. Many years ago I had a Basset Hound who died of testicular cancer at 10 years and the vet said the incidence of testicular cancer shoots way up after 5 years. She more than implied I was a bad owner for not neutering my dog. I felt so guilty that all my male dogs have been neutered at 5 years ever since.

Here's kind of a funny story. About a year after I came to live in Thailand, through a series of fortunate occurances, I came to live with a Lanna princess on her estate. She grew quite attached to my dog and admonished me regularly for having had him neutered. She would say things like " Khun Ken, why did you cut his balls off? I would like to give one of his puppies to the Queen, but I can't because you cut his balls off. A dog with no balls cannot make puppies Khun Ken". It was amusing to me to hear a very refined lady speak that way. She has a poodle ranch now.

I am a reclusive billionaire who lives in a Ls Vegas hotel and am planning to fly a wooden plane. I'll bash anybody who says I'm not.

Oooh, thought of another one! BambinA's is her!

And has a maid called something like Daily Boy.... well, it sounds like that.

Please stop talking about removing testicles, at the mere mention of it most males will retract, mine are now in my throat (they got there internally, any other method would make me just stay at home )
