    Ha! You guys fell or it. This was just a trick to get you to reveal the content of those sometimes inscrutable icons.

    I miss the old standard question mark. It was the ultimate mysterious picture, for those of us who take everything very literally.

    Once my profile picture was Gloria Steinem, but after a host of girls that I had gone to primary school with and hadn't heard from since commented on how "OMG, pretty!!!!" I was in the picture, I thought it wise to change it, lest I further confused anyone.

    @Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: That is just sad. At least if someone noted that you looked a bit like Gloria Steinem there would be a glimmer of hope for ladykind.

    Pardon? An article on avatars and I wasn't sought out for comment? Journalism as we know it is truly dead.

    I think my avatar says that I'm a scruffy little dog that sports a toupee. It also infers that when you scratch me under my chin or behind my ears, I'll furiously tap my left hind food. I think it all makes a powerful statement.

    One wonders if it's not more interesting to look at the difference between the folks that responded to this post with a comment that began "I," and the other less self -involved gawkeratzi (registered service mark).

    @Uncle_Billy_Slumming: And other less self-involved gawkeratzi? You mean the less self-involved gawkeratzi that makes a post about how much different they are then everyone else?

    I think my picture indicates that I mean business. And that I will not tolerate whores and loose women showering at my motel.

    Before the generic hair swoop guy, wasn't it just a question mark? I preferred the question mark, which indicated that you weren't necessarily human.


    Also, does anyone remember that little face that used to stare out at you from the upper left corner of the Facebook screen, the face of a dude that looked sort of like Milo Ventimiwhatever? I called him the Facebook Kid. He was brutally dispatched with during one of the initial redesigns.


    And now, at the end of this comment, I have an overwhelming urge to feel the sun on my skin.
