erm.., I mean, Friar John!

Sorry 'bout that, but this avatar cracks me up almost every time I see it:



Sooooo... I thought why not spread the humor and prank old FJ on the first? A big thanks to all of the BA faithful who participated and made the mod man feel xtra speshul today!
















Of course this scenario could happen again if a certain avatar fails to get loaded by this time next year...

Apparently nobody likes me anymore. The avatars are changing back! What would Bill Hicks think if he wasn't worm food?

I really would've deleted all the other avatars if I had the power. That was the only response I could come up with.

Yep! Sorry John, but I've just changed mine back to MY signature avatar...the "Little B*stard".

(...and WHAT would be more fitting, HUH?!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

It was a good idea from Txspeedmaster to do that

For some reason my change didn't work after trying it 3 times.


Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"

Well Graham, that could have all been caused by the mircowave signals from our BA.com satellite to your home being blocked by concrete cows.

(yep...that sometimes happens, ya know)

Mine didn't take the first time either. I think the second time I chose the Bill Hicks avatar, I clicked on the Use Stock Avatar circle. Then it worked.

mine changed in the morning before I went to work, then somehow changed itself back before I got home, then I couldn't get it to change back

It took me several tries. Mine wouldn't change until i chose the avatar then checked the "use stock avatar" box. Then it worked fine.

what I'm saying is that at first mine changed, I saw it on my next post, then it changed back all on its own while I was at work, away from a computer
