You means that I should keep on looking silly and being a cat?
Well there is not much silly cats' pictures for changes...

Yes.

And now thesuperkillerxxx's avatar is messing with me, since I strongly associate Domo-kun with Greg. And Greg doesn't even have a Domo-kun avatar. It's madness!
I agree with this too. I also associate people with their avatars...and when people constantly change, its like who's who, all over again.
I forget where my avatar comes from though. Oz did it for me...he said it was taken from some lame-o website where they talk about old airplane games all the time.

Jeez, Ghegs, I changed my avatar once... and that was when this new forum came up. I think I'm entitled to a little variety.
