Without sounding like a stalker I just found myself staring at Guy's avatar knowing that something has changed but not being able to remember what on earth he looked like in his last photo.

I guess this should really be part of the "you know you spend too much time on Dave's when..." thread!

Anyone else but me have to do a double take?

Yes, I updated my avatar. I don't know if the issue is worth a thread though...

I'm more than 2 years older now, and a few pounds heavier. Such is life. Just wait until the grey hair comes in...

Guy #1 was pink and pale.

Guy #2 is brown and hearty/hardy. Have his feet likewise changed from white to tan?

(and a haircut)

guy has inspired me to add an avatar, in hopes that i will one day get my own thread.

Justin had his own thread for quite some time, all about why he didn't have an avatar!

I'm actually thinking of bidding a fond adieu to my dear Zippy, but what could I possibly replace him with?

That almost sounds like a hint Loz, since you know I have a picture of you here... Wink

i was too dumb to figure out how it works. how do i link to a photo on my computer? it looks like it only wants URLs.

You have to upload the photo to a server somewhere. Photobucket is one a lot of posters use. Then, in your profile, type in the URL.

Lozwich, Zippy is irreplaceable. Have you considered a different Zippy for each season, like the recent Christmas one?

Yes, Graham, I have! It was my birthday last week and I wanted to find a Zippy with a party hat on, but the amount of time it took to find Zippy at Christmas put me off a bit.

Guy, if you post my photo here, you know I will have to personally come to DF and do something horribly vicious to you and various members of your extended family! Any excuse to come back to Mexico! Twisted Evil

And I thought I learned a thing or two about hostage taking and ransom demands in Mexico!

No worries, Loz. Your pic is safely stowed. Wonder if there is eBay potential in this? Wink

Having had the pleasure of meeting Guy while I was still in Mexico City, I can say that while photo #2 looks more like him than #1, it still doesn't do him justice!

I love the hat. Where's the smile, Matt? You took that pic in the Ciudadela, didn't you?

I went to a Mexican restaurant for my birthday, and they made me wear one of those hats while having my photo taken. I had a similar look on my face too! Mainly because I hate wearing silly hats, but also because they're really heavy! Maybe the weight pushed Matt's smile down??
