What do you think about Dave�s new photo? He definately looks cool but I miss his old black and white jumper. What do you think?

I think he should try smiling or at least appear friendly.

Embarassed I feel really stupid here, but when I log on to Dave's I still see the same smiling face. Where is this new photo that you're all talking about? Embarassed

Cheers!

How long have you been checking out this site? A few weeks ago you would have seen in a lovely black and white jumper and with a boy next-door haircut, in his new one he�s all Armani and he looks a little bit like a jazz musician. Must be going up in the world!

This has to be one of the silliest , most insipid threads to ever hit this board.Maybe you can form a Dave's fan club...call it something like Dave's Angels or something.You can be Dave's groupies and follow him around...wherever.Poor Dave...pursued by a bunch of panting TESOL females.The mind boggles. maybe you can serenade him with jazz chants or something.

Besides,maybe that is not even Dave's real photo.Maybe it is a ringer.

However,I do like Capergirl's avatar.It is even better than Zakiah's avatar.

I'm not sure of which persuasion Daffy Duck is, but Shonai Ben's name and avatar certainly make me feel that he is of the male persuasion. You panting, Ben? I'm not. That said, this IS the general discussion forum, isn't it? You're free to not read it if you feel it's silly, and to not reply to it if you find it insipid. The reason for my posting was that obviously some posters have access to sites which I don't. Makes me wonder what else I'm missing, that's all. Of course we all know what Dave looks like, but if YOU didn't seem to be able to access the same sites as the rest of us, I'm sure that you would probably be one of the first to say, "Hey, what gives?"

And, yes, I like capergirl's avatar, too.

Cheers!

As dudette(DUDETTE? Laughing Laughing How original! Laughing Laughing ) stated,nobody forced me to read the thread.However, it is obvious that I did not know it was a silly and insipid thread until AFTER I read it.I am not one of the lucky few gifted with paranormal powers.(AH! YES! SKIP THAT THREAD! IT IS SILLY AND INSIPID! I CAN TELL THAT WITHOUT EVEN READING IT! Laughing Laughing ).

My apologies to Shonai(and possibly Daffy?) for including them in the coterie of panting TESOL females mentioned in my previous post. Smile

Back In 1994 Dave was cryogenically frozen. Hence we saw the same Dave photo for many years and this is why, as Shonai Ben pointed out, he looks a little tired in the current photo.

His reawakening was expected to occur sometime around 2175, when English is expected to be a dead language that nobody in the world speaks except Canadians and Americans (who have never really had a handle on the language anyway) and a handful of boring anthropologists.

Due to soaring popularity, mostly from panting TESOL females who spend all their time on the net, Dave has come out early. He also needed to stretch his back and pay his credit card again. However he loves the attention and the photo change is a signal to his most devout followers to meet him at "the bar" for a drink after seven next Thursday.

See you there....... Wink

But bnix it doesn't take paranormal powers to deduce that a thread titled "What do you think of Dave's new look?" is more than likely to contain just that type of discussion. I deduced that when I read the title, and saw that as my opportunity to find out why I haven't been able to access what many other posters could.

Cheers!

Dudette,you have a point there.To tell you the truth,I just switched on this thread because there has not been much doing on this board lately.Now ,the KOREAN forum...that is where the action is...what flamethrowers over there!

Incidentally,speaking of paranormal powers,I have a student(adult) who claims she can read my mind.Is it ethical for me to lead her on in this,or should I discourage her? Laughing Apparently,she has fallen under the sway of some kind of pseudo-religious charlatan.Nice woman,otherwise. Rolling Eyes

Where is Capergirl's avatar?Do not tell me they are deleting avatars now?

Inquiring about a picture means one is "panting"? Now isn't that an absurd statement! Rolling Eyes (No offense to Mr. Sperling.) I still can't see the new picture and I find that rather puzzling, which is the reason I posted in the first place.

Bnix, are you panting over my avatar? Laughing Cool

However,I do think your cute blonde avatar is much more attractive than Dave's mug shot, if that is really Dave.Also, I think your avatar is much more attractive and tasteful than a lot of the other avatars(Jabba the Hut, houseflies,Lord knows what else).As to my "absurd",statement, I reserve the right to be absurd sometimes,like everyone else on this board.It helps not to take things too seriously.If I was in the mood for serious flamethrowing, I could head over to the Korean forum,where they take their posts and threats seriously.

bnix, I just read a thread about how uptight and serious the Korea Forum is, compared to our China Forum. In fact, I do believe it was suggested that we posters to the -hic- China forum are all inbebri, inerbriat, drunk. Wink

Yes it does help one not to take things too seriously.

Cheersh!
