He'll get all stubborn on us and refuse to change it for a whole 15 minutes or something.

Uly, dear, I just LOVE that avatar on you! It's so slimming and flattering and goes so well with your coloring!

It's WORKING for you, sweetie!

<Raising hand>



Uly never keeps an avatar long, though. I'm afraid that calling attention to a distasteful one just motivates him to find another that tops it.

Sometimes, ignoring certain behaviors is the best response.

I would, but I keep sneezing, something keeps tickling the inside of my nose.
Innocent, naive and whimsical. And somewhat footloose and fancy-free.

Thank you, Dr. Spock! You should have a houseful of kids, you know.... :P

What did I miss while I was gone?

Or is Cal just offended by braided nosehair?

Just really grossed out.

That was my thought. More like disgusted than offended, though...

It's almost as bad as a commercial that I've seen - one with a woman riding a bicycle with long flowing underarm hair. Problem is, the sight is so gross that I can't ever get to the part where I find out what's being advertised.

Way to give Mini and Uly more avatar ideas, earendel.

(I think that might be a Planter's Peanut one.)

I just tune it out. My wife comments on how gross it is every time it comes on.

It's for a cell phone company. Couldn't tell you which one. They have a new commercial, too, with a grown man being carried by an older guy in a front-mounted baby carrier. The commercials are of the "if you think THIS is wrong, what about cell phone campanies who ......" variety. Eyecatching, sure, but when a viewer can't remember the name of the product being touted, it's not good.

What braided nose hair? Sounds pretty gross to me.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.
