    That's a excellent avatar brother tar. It represents exactly what I stand far. A man of large appetite. Leave it as is my friend.

    Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

    Status- Standing by.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    I haven't changed mine in awhile (and only a few times all together). I think my current one will stick around bc it represents a few things I enjoy. If it sucks to you, oh well. If you like it, cool. \:D/

    Now I can't decide if I should change my avatar because I fall into the "good picture but not a good avatar" camp - or if changing it would irritate some... and would that be a bad thing...?

    I do figure that my pic kinda represents me or @SGH when we are hungry (if hippos were carnivores).

    C'mon, if you want to make this a real rant you need to inject some vitriol into it.  You're sounding like a polite Canadian.  Replace "people" with "idiots", inject a few racy adjectives and maybe insert a unicorn rainbow avatar picture that disparages unicorn lovers.
    I am truly sorry if I sound polite.

    @Foghorn I have no idea what makes up a good avatar vs a good picture and will continue to stumble around in the dark myself on this topic, definitely won't lose any sleep over it. 

    just a funny thread, you never know when someone's going to get their panties in a wad over something dumb, happens all the time and at it's best, it's hilarious.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

    Damn I didn't know we were supposed to change our avatars around regularly! Now I feel like an idiot! I'm gonna change mine at least twice in the next week to catch up. LOL why would it bother you if people change their avatar?? I don't even really look at them.

    @Eggcelsior, I wasn't trying to be like Bubbles, but I see the resemblance.  Those are what I call my buddies glaucoma glasses.  He does have glaucoma and they are his sun glasses, but not for glaucoma.  That is my gangsta pose yo!

    @tarheelmatt, that picture makes you look too cerebral to be a Tarheel.  Maybe you should change your name.

    I, for one, am REALLY bothered by forum name/avatar discordance.  Someone should police it.

    Always thought @tarhellmatt avatar was Drew Carey.  And @Little_Steven isn't allowed to change his because in my mind I make a funny voice like the Seinfeld episode when they spoke like his girlfriend's belly button.  I kinda like mine but it has nothing to do with Egging.

    Hmmm.. I did not notice a spelling error.  Dook is short for Dookie, you know? 

    I hate to say this though, but I may just change my avatar now.  I like Drew Carey and all, but I don't want to be mistaken.  Hmmm... On to find the most EPIC avatar out there.

    That pic is a good avatar.
    I am truly enjoying this thread. The vitriol being released is great. Makes me hungry, so off to the butcher shop I go.
    Don't forget to check your avatar. Can't make out what the avatar @saluki2007‌ has, guess we'll have to deal with it.

    Frankly I don't look at the Avatars when I am looking at the threads so I couldn't tell if they changed or not. I guess it don't much matter to me either if someone wants to change things now and then. I am not going to remember what he had before anyway.

    My productivity for the day has now gone thru the floor as I continue my quest for the ultimate avatar.

    Once you settle on your new avatar, make sure you draw a line in the sand.
