No, he left the country and canceled his membership.

Phew! I was starting wonder what I missed because I couldn't imagine him being banned -- not that stranger things haven't happened that I was oblivious to. :rolleyes:

Boulderhead was great. I liked his weird eye avatar.

Yes, I always liked Boulderhead. Just before he left, he PM'd and told me about his plans. He should be living in South American by now.

I don't know the specifics of why, but he did indicate that he wouldn't have access; and that this was goodbye. :cry:

All credit for my avatar goes to its great surrealist artist, Rene Magritte!

Great job, René!

:smile: I'm pretty sure a week's worth of salary from a paper route should cover it just fine.
nobody does that anymore.

my paper boy makes over 200 dollars a week, not bad for 3 hours of work each morning, that's 11 dollars a hour!

:eek: I think I'm going to start a paper route.

Lets see... I love Moonbears Av.
I'm sure Danger's could easily qualify for the ugliest.
I'll have to start paying more attention to peoples avatars now.

I'm still confused as to what everything in danger's avatar is.
It might be easier to tell on the large, uncropped version here.

I can't really see any way to keep the joke going, so I'd might as well explain it (although I already did in the member photo thread). That's my outfit from last Hallowe'en. It's made out of latex, and the coloured stuff is multiple shades of brown creme makeup applied with a brush and then dabbed and smeared with cotton wool. The hair is just coloured cotton wool stretched out and glued on.

aaaahhhh... yes, yes that's perfect.

(puts back machete, hand grenades, nunchucks and matches...)

glad we could work this out.

so in case anyone's not clear... I've called dibs on LeBrad... ladies, if you value your lives, i wouldn't look twice at his new avatar... i spose men are allowed to view his sexiness. or lesbians... actually no, no lesbians... they might change their mind about their sexual orientation after seeing him...

Matches? Don't forget the gasoline! :smile:

Of course, it is the sisterhood way. :wink:

hmm... no, i have the gasoline, but it stays... just in case any curious lesbians come along...

but yay for the sisterhood. if only all problems in life could be solved so simply.

so of course, my vote for best avatar is going to be Lebrad. but only cause he's so hot... i guess... i wouldn't mind... if the girls agree that he's a hottie... cause i mean, he is pretty damn sexy. so long as we keep in mind that I've marked him as my territory.

Hoe did you make the one eye look sideways while the other looks straight ahead?
