If that's the standard around here, you need to switch your avatar over to the pre-Jenny Craig Kirstie Alley.

If wearing candy underpants, how does one answer the question "are you commando?"

Intervention
 

You're not very subtle. Fringey is. The cat is a well-known symbol of spinsterhood, which is in turn a well-known result of fatness. Fringey is playing on her own image.

Intervention
 

Now I've got it. You are cropssing into Taltoshood (hi barely!). :)

Intervention
 

I'm a hissing cat. Christ. Get over yourself.

Not Bob, you need to get the Cinderella (or whoever) song to play to go with the Nobody's Fool avatar -- which, actually, I think is inapposite (look that up, ncs). You aren't an upstate NY kind of guy. Or, your persona isn't. I don't think they have Piggly Wigglys up there.

Intervention
 

Or perhaps, to save everyone's time, the use of the "don't show avatars" feature of the user CP might be gainfully employed.

Evacuation Day
 

In a related vein, I'm gonna have to rethink my use of the common epithet, "candy-ass lawyer."

Not Bob
 

Not Bob, don't listen. You have to keep Rockford.

Intervention
 

Your avatar sucks.

Intervention
 

Listen, I am not inside your head and don't know how you "picture" me. But I've had lots of avatars and some that people bitched about. TM made me change the cat with the tennis ball on his head. Even though I liked that one.

Nice use of passive voice. But the avatars do have an identifying quality, regardless of how suitable others might think they are. When I read the Board without avatars I frequently mistake the speaker. And I am not as generally addled as some others.

Intervention
 

And it's hissing. I'm mean and fat (not jolly and fat) (like Santa, or whatever) (I mean, if I were Santa, kids would get nothing or just coal) (and they would have to promise not to burn the coal because it's very polluting).

Intervention
 

Much of upstate New York is quite similar to the Deep South. However you are correct on the No Piggly Wigglys front. Though I've never exactly understood why they are widespread in Wisconsin.

Intervention
 

would you still expect them to leave snacks?

Intervention
 

I like RP's version better.

Not Bob
 

I said the Nobody's Fool one is inapposite. Are you sure about the "not addled" thing?

Intervention
 

str8's avatar just makes me think my eyes are failing me.

Intervention
 

Really?


Hmm. The Deep South minus 60 degrees. Heaven!

Intervention
 

I disagree. There are no minorities in upstate NY, and I think the fact that there are severe winters makes for quite a different character.

Wisconsin is friendly (in some ways), much like the deep south.

Not Bob
 

Just used your post to indicate the topic, sweetie honey. I'll cop to careless and insensitive.

Intervention
 

She just put it more nicely. And who cares which you like better? Christ. Get over yourself.

Not Bob
 

Okay pookie babydoll.

Mmmmm, honey.

I wouldn't say insensitive.

Intervention
 

The Upstate New York feature that I would like exported to this part of the country is Wegmans.

St. Patricks Day
 

Yeah, these people.

Yuhr SO RETAHDID!

Not Bob
 

Don't worry -- Rockford is not going anywhere. I might use Sully on occasion in the future, but Jim is the man.

No one wants to see you tweak yourself.

Ugh.

Intervention
 

mmmmm hosts

Intervention
 

Much of upstate New York is quite similar to Wisconsin.

If you don't believe that portions of upstate are like the Deep South, spend a few weeks in Plattsburgh sometime. Though I don't advise it between September and May.

Intervention
 

I was trying to pm you to tell you how full of shit you are (SS and Gwink are great, and the tongue-in-cheekness is what makes NFH's) , but your mailbox is full, so I'll just tell you here. And clean out your mailbox.

May I offer this for flinty:

I always thought an avatar like this would be more fitting of the "Podunkville" schtick.

And I really don't mean that in a bad way.

I've seen said underpants. The term "candy-ass" doesn't really apply.

Intervention
 

Now somebody has to use that one.

St. Patricks Day
 

And yuhr wicked retahdid for not posting a pitchah of Sully right.

Intervention
 

And yet, I feel comfortable with it.

Evacuation Day
 

Yes, but candy butt-crack lawyer doesn't really roll off the tongue.

Hey, what did I do to get thrown into this dogfight?

Finally, a subject about which MR can speak with authority!

Intervention
 

Anything for you, dear.

You are not commando until someone eats the underpants.

I am commando today.
