How much are you like your avatar?
I, for one, do not smoke cigars, nor do I have a mustache(well, the estrogen dominance might change that), and I am not a man! But sometimes, I AM funny!!

10. I chose my avatar for inspiration.
It's hard for me to type something mean when Dr. King's picture will be next to the words.

So, it's aspirational, not a reflection of me.

18. Dr. King is stronger than I am angry.
So it works out ok.

But if I see something on DU that makes me mad enough, I'll switch my avatar back to the upside down flag and let somebody have it.

52. Here's how: at the top of the page is a row of icons -- click on "options"
You will then see a menu on the left side of the page. Click on "Edit your profile", which will open a list of options.

The 3rd item down the list is "Avatar Image" -- just follow the directions from there.

Good luck!

Edited on Tue Mar-11-08 05:25 PM by KamaAina
assuming, that is, that I even have any.

Then again, the avatar is meant to represent the city of New Orleans as much as the Saints themselves. By that standard, I am: wildly different from that which surrounds me; woefully underdeveloped; and chronically misunderstood.

edit: I forgot to add "immensely talented" :-)

43. I often feel a great deal like Alice
‘In THAT direction,’ the Cat said, waving its right paw round, ‘lives a
Hatter: and in THAT direction,’ waving the other paw, ‘lives a March Hare.
Visit either you like: they’re both mad.’
‘But I don’t want to go among mad people,’ Alice remarked.
‘Oh, you can’t help that,’ said the Cat: ‘we’re all mad here. I’m mad.
You’re mad.’
‘How do you know I’m mad?’ said Alice.
‘You must be,’ said the Cat, ‘or you wouldn’t have come here.’

67. I am not a mathematician but I do have a good understanding of how political science works.
Edited on Wed Mar-12-08 07:41 AM by Larry Ogg
Such as the theory of quantum loopholes and how to get elected without ever telling the truth, by using the M$M and proper venal connections.

And once you get elected its important to keep the following formula in mind.

The angle of the dangle is proportional to the heat of the meat times the mass of the taxpayers ass – combined with twenty seven years of inflation - and blaming everything on the other party also goes a long way in getting you reelected, while maintaining the political party paradigm…

To earn my never ending awe and respect in your TV trivia knowledge... name the show and character.
