OT: Why is your icon picture your icon picture?
by redhornet78 on Sep 1, 2009 8:55 AM PDT
Email
PrintSince we've had a flood of newbies to the site (welcome all, try the shellfish) i'd like to hear how everyone chose their icon picture.
i am, in fact, not a bald pedo-clown, but i found that image on the internet and it blew my mindgrapes. i'm pretty sure i just GIS "clown" for an evite and this was one of the results. i have thought about changing it to something giants related, or even a pic of myself, but i just can't give up on my pants-shittingly terrifying image.
so Mccovenites, what up with the scared tiger heads, men in banana outfits, and batboy carrying little batboy?

ever notice that every beatles album except the white album depicts all 4 members on the cover?
I thought it was kinda odd

Seems logical to me.

Odd that it would depict the 4 Beatles or odd that the White Album doesn’t?

What I’ve noticed is that usually there are three of them doing one thing while the fourth is different. Maybe one mustache and three with beards. Or three angled one way, and the other angled another way. One with glasses, the rest not.
Of course, that could just be the odds when you group four people together and have them doing similar things.

I’ve always thought it was odd that you didn’t choose the cover of Revolver, to go with your user name.
My Bucardo is better than yours.
A hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, it is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money.

I do love that song. I always thought of it as how the Beatles would sound if Jerry Garcia was in the band. That main riff is so Jerry.

Yeah, Maxwell is what sold me on Syracuse. I visited the area this spring. The city is dumpy, but the University is gorgeous. I managed to catch a basketball game too, which was absolutely INSANE (30k people there).
I’ve traveled to UNC many times for road games when UVA played there. Nice school, nice area.
I have three years to get back to my best musically, so I can do pep band at the Orange hoops games. :) Plus I like the location, as the AAA Chiefs are there. I can do sportswriting work while there as well.

I asked an innocuous question during parent orientation last week.
The teachers hadn’t mentioned anything about special terms for going to the bathroom (and they usually do make a point of asking). The other parents got curious and asked what it was that she said. Which is strange because it could be anything – I think most kids have special ways of saying they need to go to the bathroom. They all laughed hysterically when I told them the story.

I knew a guy, now passed away, who was a long time H’wood set designer. His house was decorated with stuff he’d acquired off of sets and from warehouses being purged. In the early days, the studios sometimes used props that were the real deal, only to unknowingly cast them off later. This guy had an eye for treasures. One of them was a for real snow leopard rug, with the head stuffed and alert.
He knew the provenance of it, and it was old, turn of the 20th Century. I know they’re now endangered, partly because of the mentality behind making of that rug, so I felt guilty thinking about how cool it was. Bad, but damn, it was cool.

We’ve got one that’s about 11. Beagles are great, except when:
A). They bark.
B). You want them to do anything that they aren’t particularly interested in doing…
This is Sandi or “Beages”
She's adorable...
Mine doesn’t howl at all except when she’s really excited at the park and chasing another dog around. She’ll cry a little bit when I get home because she’s so excited, but otherwise she’s quiet as can be.
Tell me about it re: them being headstrong. I live in New York City and am relatively low income, which means the neighborhoods I live in can be dirty and there’s always garbage around. Trying to take a beagle on walks in that kind of environment = not a ton of fun. Still wouldn’t trade her for the world, though. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a beagle that wasn’t ridiculously happy.
Thanks
They are hounds, so smells are even more important than they are to other (non-hound) breeds. So, yes, walks can take more time than you would like. Boy are they obstinate! Sandi will go outside (into our back yard) and not come in when she is called. She will look at you, and then ignore you. We love her, but she can be quite frustrating…
