[Avatars] What's with the cartoon faces?
Where do these guys come from? They seem to be in vogue at the moment, so by the time I manage to find out about it it'll be considered trite.
If you don't know what I'm talking about—but really, how could you not?—see Teflon Billy's, Eric Noah's, and 100 others' avatar pics.
Nevermind!

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
I turned mine into an animated gif. It's subtle.

Lame joke aside I really wanted to comment on the gif. Very cool.

Bwahahah! Giving email addies is for lamers, everyone else do like this:
1. Do your funny cartoon face;
2. Hit Ctrl+Print Screen;
3. Fires up Paint (or similar) and hit Ctrl-V;
4. Move and crop the image to keep only the funny face;
5. File, Save-as.

Wow, talk about inflation! I thought it was supposed to be seven degrees from Kevin Bacon, and I was happy that I was coming in at five...
