Isn't there an Avatar Thread?

Love the Kitler, Scott.

Dualstow, is that Frank Costanza castigating Steinbrenner about trading Jay Buhner?

I’m not sure which scene it is, but i just wanted to pay tribute to the late Frank Costanza, aka Jerry Stiller. R.I.P.
Let’s just pretend he’s castigating George for not having any gold in his portfolio.

I think Larry David was the voice of Steinbrenner back then. I didn’t know it back when Seinfeld was still airing new episodes.

As someone who has a business degree and worked in finance for a couple of years, and who now pursues computer science, I feel like I'm really "living" my avatar!

That trade was defensible. Trades can only be criticized at the time, under the circumstances in which they made. Not with the benefit of hindsight after you know what actually subsequently occurred.

Found the scene. For some reason Steinbrenner thinks George has died and he's telling George's parents:

Nice picture, Mountaineer. Timely!

Not evident what this is in response to. Scrolled all the way back to April 18th but not seeing anything by Mountaineer.

This is the avatar thread. He's talking about Mountaineer's avatar. (A picture of the Falcon 9.)

Missed that...was just reading the message. I'll have to note it next time I see something from Mountaineer (provided he does not change it again prior to then. He seemed to have the same one for a long time....now they seem to change frequently?).

Yes indeed. It’s the recent launch of the X-37B. Adds a nice double entendres virtual background to my Zoom meetings too.

If this worked, my avatar is the Avatar. (The last Airbender).

Watched it long ago with my kids. Now on Netflix.

I really enjoyed that show.

[dualstow]

It worked.

[vnatale]

It worked.

What a happy, relaxed kitty! But this won't make sense as soon as you change your picture to something else!

That’s why there’s an avatar thread. You can ignore everything in it except for the most recent posts.
Without an avatar thread, every other thread gets gummed up with soon-obsolete digressions into “nice avatar. Is that..?”

Btw, this one is from when she was just a half year old. Looks like a small cheetah.

I'm fixing it by documenting it here!

Beautiful picture, Smith.
I hope things pan out.

It's too bad I grew up with grains of rice instead of grains of gold!

[Smith1776]

Is there a photoshop master on the forum that can take Libertarian666's avatar and make the white corners match the grey background of the board?

[Xan]

The trick is to make the background transparent rather than any particular color.

Tech, would you make this your avatar?

Now that's a damn cool looking avatar!

Paging Tech.

Ok, no problem.

Ok, no problem.

Looking spiffy, Tech! You shine up like a new penny gold eagle!

Yes, now if I could just get a haircut I'd look better in person too!

[dualstow]

Excellent. The coin looks better than ever.

Haircut: now go for the opposite strategy. Don’t let the outer edges get transparent.
