Does Potatohead's avatar get bashed up if nobody is looking ???

Toby Seckshund

I sort of feel guilty if it is somehow my fault, so if I could be assured that the little guy gets it anyway ....

He gets it when I'm watching, too; but as far as I know, you may be watching at the same time. So, yes, it could still be your fault.

It's an animated gif, meaning there is no bashing, if nobody is watching! It's really my fault, because I set the avatar, making you the unwilling partner in crime!

Seriously, I love little goofy animation, and that one is great! I still struggle with "avatar" for just a simple bitmap. To me, "avatar" is some functional representation, not a simple user picture, which is what I think we have here. Be that as it may, avatar is in the popular lexicon and that's just how it is.

Ultimately, the fault lies with that guy for taunting the happy fun ball. Never do that. Ever.

As far as I can tell, the little guy deserves it every time. Why does he never learn?

The little guy is just like me in that case, as far as never learning. Except, after about the 282nd time, I eventually would figure out to move out of the balls way. Maybe tomorrow we can check back and he will know by then to move out of its way [noparse];)[/noparse]

I can totally identify with that little guy myself. Every so often, I get that "oh, so that's it?" insight, and move past some goofy thing that trips me up, look back and wonder why that can't happen more regularly.

I think you are close Joms. Not much left now. Keep hacking!

Actually Potatohead's little guy has been very inspirational. Check out this George Orwell quote: "If you want a vision of the future, imagine Happy Fun Ball bashing on your face -- forever."

With the help of a hidden camera, I found out what the little guy does, if nowbody is looking...

I always feel badly for him, so I hit ESC before I look away.

1. Bonk on the "control panel" button

2. Do it again on "Edit Options"

3. Plop some text into the text input box associated with: "Custom User Title"

4. Use the "SUBMIT" button at the bottom of the page.

You too can have that cool tag-line that everybody is drooling over! And we understand. "Registered Member" is cool too. Really.

@Ariba,

cool variation. And it made me look close onto your avatar. LOL Speedy has a propeller-sombrero ! So finally I understand why he is running so fast all the time !
I like it.

Maybe someday I manage to create a cool avatar too.

best regards

That maybe because it's in your local cache. Doesn't show up for me in IE, Fire Fox or Chrome.

And please don't capatalize "you", sounds like you starting a fight. [noparse]:)[/noparse]

Anybody else have a problem viewing?

I don't see micro's "spinning" icon.

Perhaps if you used an image server that worked if you were not actually logged in as you it might help everyone else see it [noparse]:)[/noparse]

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should use WD40.

Sorry. Accedently uploaded it to my private site.
If I spend the time making it, I might as well show it off!
