I have nothing against the great actor Norman Fell. Far from it. I have nothing but respect for the man. He was great in Ocean's 11. From all the evidence I've seen, he was a good father.
All of that said, I was wondering, if we had to show our true colors, who we really are in our avatars, what would they look like. I know how I think of @Bruyere_Royale even when I'm looking at Norman Fell. In my mind, BR will always look like this:
A velvet smoking cap with a sateen tassel paired with a flannel shirt, looking into the future and seeing how good it is going to be.
Then we have this joker:
I don't particularly like it when a PSF member changes his or her avatar all the time so that I don't know who I'm talking to, but, I also don't like an avatar that is totally wacky.
I like Felix the Cat and @Wildcat has kept his avatar long enough that I've just gotten used to it. If Wildcat changed it, I would get all discombobulated reading a thread----"Who is this again?" @Ruffinogold rarely changes his avatar, if he ever has. Why bother? I like @fingall 's avatar, and I like @Jlando19 's, too. I think J. Lando is a paramedic, so it makes sense. I know he is in school. @ncrobb , who I always think of as NR Cobb, for no good reason since I am not dyslexic, keeps his A.A. Milne bear, and, I like that, too. Familiarity breeds respect. I am used to @Kevin Keith 's rotation of avatars enough so that I know who he is and what mood he is in based on the avatar he presents----pay attention and you'll see for yourself. When KK looks like Dave Berg, expect every post from him to come up roses. My favorite avatar, which has never changed since I've known the guy, is @mrpipster's.
I am not going to share my thoughts about everyone's avatars. There are too many and I have other things to think about. These are just the ones that came to the top of my head while I was writing this post. I do not obsess about these things, it's just that looking at Norman Fell several times every evening for two weeks has set me off. I can't take it anymore! If I left anyone off the list above, it isn't because I don't take note of your avatar. I have to run is because Mrs. B. is calling me for supper. We're having split pea soup tonight, one of my favorite things to eat. I've got to finish up this Finck cigar and get inside to put on the feedbag and put some meat on my bones.
I never used to change my avatar but I have yet to find the perfect Citizen B avatar. That's why I've been changing it up every few weeks. I don't like to change my avatar often, or my signature line, because I don't think it is polite, like changing wigs in the middle of a dinner party.
I'm just talking. Filling the time between things to do, and, I do have things to do after supper. This post is that kind of middle-of-midnight thought that goes through your head when you can't fall asleep and you hope that when you open your eyes you won't find yourself waking up next to Norman Fell. That hasn't happened to me yet and I hope it never does----but still I have to see that trademarked Fell grin every single day when I log on PSF! Again, I have great respect for Mr. Fell, but, I don't want to see him every single day, especially when most days it is more than once.
Please feel free to share your avatar thoughts. Why you have chosen yours, why you might change it. I am sure we would all love to see a picture of your dream avatar here if you don't have the guts to make it official in your profile. My avatar right now is a picture of me, warts and all. If I didn't have a conscience, it would be this:
---Well, I guess that's enough of me rambling on about avatars. I have to go have my supper. I am taking too long. Mrs. B. is calling again.
Have a good night.
Fez and flannel.
