And it is my Sisyphean task to post as many different avatars as there are MMs.
Future Bored Historians are going to have a heck of a mess making sense of all the comments that refer to long-long avatars of yours, uly!

Where on earth do you come up with some of these avatars???

Exactly right. In fact, some of Merry Men aren't even living organisms. Just look at "Dead Fern", "Dead Horse", or the infamous "Nigerian Penis Pills".
Or even me!

I would have been here sooner, except there was a wreck on the bypass...

What's your excuse for not having an avatar?

Sometimes, he chooses an avatar depending on what the hot topic du jour on the Bored is.

BTW, Jeanie, here's another term that you better get used to seeing on the Bored:

Gus hunt!

The camera was broken, the flash card was full and the photographer is out of film. And the batteries are dead.

So get an avatar the old-fashoined way:

Steal one!

A fun game where we Bored Buddies gratuitously post in an attempt to reach a certain target number (known as a "gus") of total posts made on the Bored.

So far, we've made about 94,925 posts since this Bored began last year. The current target number is 95,000 because it's a multiple of 5,000. With about 75 posts to go, we are now in a gus hunt.

The number of gratuitous posts should start increasing.

Is this late enough?

Actually not that late though I am now on EST. I'm in DC. There's a big game down in Charlottesville on Saturday. I gave my team a 10 in the Pick 'Em poll.
