EA Forums

I received a private e-mail on this topic. I shall preserve their anonymity, of course. But you feedback is solicited. here is the message...



Have you thought about changing your picture on Eunuch.org? You are so active on the list, that we all might appreciate a bit of a pictoral change?

Just a suggestion.



The main problem with this suggestion is that I don't have a camera. My current avatar was taken by somebody else at a science fiction convention. Still, if their is enough of a demand for a new picture of me, I'll see what I can do.

Personally, I don't see a damned thing wrong with the Avatar.

It is you, and if you can't be what you want to be here then where the hell are you supposed to go?

I wish that I could find the poem that I remember from grade school. At any rate it ends with...

...my face, I don't mind it;

because I'm behind it;

It's just the folks out front that I jar!

So, if they keep complaining maybe I can get a pic of Tony Bennett or somebody for you to post...

A-1

...if you want to change it I see nothing wrong with that, either.

Maybe a custom made suit, Indiana Jones fedora, or pehaps a bathing suit picture.

C'MON, everyone. What do you want our buddy Andrew to do here?

I vote that he does as he damned well pleases,

...what say you all?

A-1

...if you are all getting tired of me staring at Vi's cooch, let me know and maybe I can come up with us doing something...

...ah...er...shall we say a bit different?

Keep it. It's YOUR image. If they don't like it, they can just not look at it.

You are who you are, and you can't change that. I like it because to me it shows that you have nothing to hide(no offense to others)

The chap who asked me to change my avatar has sent me another message, and here it is....



Did they give out those glasses at the convention, or did you bring them with you?



Why on earth would anybody think that a science fiction convention would be handing out glasses?

Andrew,

I think that you should just ignore the jerk!

Andrew--

I don't know why someone would think that, but clearly they are poking fun at you. Just ignore them.

Your picture is a reflection of who and what you are, and if you're comfortable with it, that's all you have to worry about.

Andrew,

PM or email me.

If this person is a pest, I'll get rid of them.

I doubt if he is a pest at the moment.

But at least he has made me think about the avatar, so I should thank him for that. But I have decided to keep it. If the EA was full of people posting natural pictures, I might consider changing it. But right now I seem to be a minority of one and am quite happy with that. As I said, he got me thinking about it, even though my answer was "no".

Glad it was, I like your pic.

Good for You!

I like your avatar, too. It should be a matter of personal choice.

I also support Allison's right to keep her avatar.

Thank you Andrew for keeping your avitar. It shows that you are who you are and are not a phony, you are happy with who you are and what you are all about. Keep up the good posts.

You are not the only member that uses an avatar with a picture of themself.

Whenever I read one of your postings I have this clear picture of the person that wrote those words, sentences and thoughts.

But any picture is just a reflection of a moment and does not show your full personality.

By the way are those Xray glasses you're wearing

I can rememer seeing exactly the same glasses in an old SF classic.

your antonia

I like your avatar (picture, whatever)

There are the ususal regulars who post on this site, then there are those "countless masses" out there who like to lurk. I think we are their entertainment. I am one of the few who changes that Avatar picture from time to time. Actually, I just keep recycling the same 3 pictures. Time for me to get a new pic up there.

For those who are interested: That is me at age 19 standing on a statue pedistal in the Roman Forum (in Rome Italy). With all those eunuch statues on the Home Page, I thought it was kind of a funny joke. (yes Italian security did chase me down off the pedistal, but I was able to escape) Ain't it great to make fun of civilization?

Got2 (question my sanity)

Not to call attention to it, but:

I think Antonia's addition to her picture is HOT HOT HOT! Oh, she is giving me that evil grin look as take up position befor that Godess of Eunuchs!

Just a thought,

Got2

Don't stay on that pedestal too long.

The pigeons might decide to use you...



A-1

Meanwhile, until Antonia gets back here's her little sister...

Now A-1

Nope, I will wait for Antonia's return with batied breath. I send her all my wishes for a fast recovery. Gheesh, trying to replace her already, A-1? Perish the thought!

Plus, you are having way too much fun with the picture posting. Oh and on that subject, we got to see Vi's "goods" and I know you got a good look at my Neon Circ member. Afraid to show us all your equipment? (is that a challenge?)

Got2 hope Antonia gets well soon

Hey guy...

Just how young do you think I am?

That pic is approximately what Vi looked like 32 years ago when we were married...



She still don't look too bad...for a 50 sumpthin' year old grandmother of 6. I suspect that the kids ain't done havin' kids yet, either. It's only goin' to get worse, I'm afraid...

...And that pic...what makes you think that it's NOT Antonia? Better look a little closer...

As for you, Got2, you can be replaced, but Antonia can't. Here, check out your replacement...

Do ya all think that we could make up a new lyrics to "John Henry was a Steel Drivin' Man" for Got2 here?

I will start it out....

Got2 went down to the corner...

he was a meat drivin' fool...

Got2 find me a warm, wet place good Lord,

To bury my hormone driven tool...

oh man, just to bury my hot, lusty tool...

Hail A-1

So old man, you and your wife were looking very sporting and 90's like back there in the late 60's. Very much the radical healthy looking couple on the beach. Ah well, now that I'm past my 20's I guess I have to look forward to getting old. But, who says that you can't post an updated pic? See how you aged and all.

Took a closer look at the pic, Antonia is lookin better than ever!

And I must say, given the tone of your postings, I think you are gettin a bit ornery in your old age. Remember that lose thinking guy of the 60's, I know he is still there in that A-1.

Goin to a nude beach for the 4th, god help the other bathers Now that is fire works!!

Got2 (take off his cloths)
