In this thread: [http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/002671.html](http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/002671.html)

someone mentioned you could substitute the “clippit” or “rocky” or whatever helper character you wanted with your own image. Is it true? I tried (see other thread) without successful results. Any assistance would be appreicated! 🙂

It is not true. Typertrphy (who made that suggestion) was joking or mistaken.

Aura,  
Thanks for the reply- I was going to retract my question here, anyway.  
It sure as hell didn’t sound like it would work, but the way I read it, it sounded like someone had tried it.  
All I wanted to do was replace it on my students computers for ha, ha’s…  
Thanks for the info, anyway.
