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.

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

I thought Cal was just going to play "Found it".
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

What did I miss while I was gone?

Or is Cal just offended by braided nosehair?

Not offended.

Just really grossed out.

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

Not offended.

Just really grossed out.
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 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.
