BTW, I guess I'm not doing my part in supplying material for this game, since I've kept this avatar for so long, but I still like the one I have from ES's early period.

I've got one in mind for next week, but it probably won't be decipherable in avatar size.

You mean this one? I did not bother using it figuring it was too easy to solve.

I meant the one I have now, but that was my first avatar. Yeah, it's a bit obvious! :)

As far as I know, I'm one of the few who is still using his or her first avatar.

While we're discussing avatars, what question is MBRS smiling about in your new one, beast? :)

Never mind. I see that you already answered Rexer.

Hooray for Peekaboo Putin!!!!

I don't think it would have been as funny had it not been for the fact that she uploaded it at the same time Fanny had Peekaboo Fanny and I was using Peekaboo ES (Mini may have had Peekaboo Erin at that time as well, not sure).....

I've only had a few avatars...I don't even remember my original one.

I did use my ES one for awhile- I didn't even know I had one until I saw everyone else displaying theirs, and went to lb's site to look at them all.

No, thanks. "His or her" may be awkward but it's more accurate.

Actually, until the grammar police started cracking down in the 19th Century, "their" was often used in just such a manner...even in formal writing.

Between the grammar police and the PC police, I'm with the former.

This whole discussion this morning led me to think of an interesting Bored trivia question on ES avatar longevity.....

What active Bored member who currently displays an ES-drawn avatar has had theirs up the longest?

Bonus: The record for longest tenure by an ES avatar is held by a currently inactive poster. Who is it?

Extra Bonus: Which Bored member has had their ES tattoo avatar up the longest time?

I'd guess Bob, with the toaster one, is the active one and that the inactive one is Indigo.

I see the tattoos are a different series then the one I found of myself and re-posted. I'd guess SC has the oldest of them. Though I would not be surprised if it was someone like Lovi (Chipotle) who has not been around much to change hers.

The round ones are called "tattoo" avatars?

And do you still have my avatar-sized ES avatar, lb? I may want to change back to it at some time (although maybe you'll have to change "Roethlisberger to Ward..." to "Roethlisberger to Wallace..." (LOL!)
