Glad I've now read it, not only because it's quite funny but also because I had always wondered what Darlinboy's avatar message meant.

S, if you ever want to know the origins of any avatar message, just ask. 95% of them were dispensed by me for something inane, humorous, or an event a member wishes they could take back. The funny thing is, members STILL kept asking for them even though they knew it might not be anything they really wanted memorialized.

Do you remember how or why you created each of those?

You never really did anything stupid enough to merit one. Trust me, that's a good thing.

Almost all of them. I might even be able to look up the thread by keyword for most of them too.

Dennis - I note you don't have one. I'm surprised, as you're not a mod anymore, I would have thought this would have been speedily rectified. Maybe something about batteries or some such - there's certainly no lack of material 😝.

Yeah, you'd have thought somebody would have taken the opportunity to remind me of the Reverso of MisFortune incident. 😜

And I used to be a simple farmer before the pratts got me. 🙁

Don't even try to feign like you didn't want Farmer John gone. You know you dig the replacement. 😉 You, sir, escaped my usual snide and/or sarcastic sensibility when it came to assigning avatars and avatar messages.

Brilliant observation - @ulackfocus doesn't have one, but he should! And that is a state that can be Speedy-ly rectified!

All we need is the cooperation of a willing-and-still-active-duty mod... calling @dsio ...

Help us turn the tables, bell the cat, pin the "tale" on the Dennis. It is within your power to enable your members.

C'mon - help make the Holidays even Happier here on OF..... let US dose HIM with a taste of his own medicine.::psy::

The cream of the crop mods (which is all of them now that Dennis has retired) can pick the winner from member-contributed ideas, I'll even put up a prize for the winner.

Did you know powerthesaurus.org lists 80, that's right EIGHTY, synonyms for dickhead?!?! Combine those with any of the thousands and thousands of adjectives available for use and the posibilities are nearly endless. And that's just using the English language. Considering our diverse and international membership - well - it sends a shiver down my spine and a thrill up my leg just thinking about it.

Let's get those entries rolling in! 😁

"Retired Sheriff".

That about says it all. Or if you want a constant reminder of that ill fated 24 hours, "Temporary owner of the Reverso of MisFortune" - fits under the 50 character limit by 6 spaces.

@Darlinboy - better to start a new thread, and reference your post here.

Forgot to add one - Best n00b inquiry about a vintage watch, which is a tie for posting clean pics AND installing an avatar for their first posts.

I had to put aside my bias toward Tracer Bullet / Calvin & Hobbes so I could remain neutral.
