Seem to recall the Prague clock from somewhere.

It’s like nobody reads the classics anymore! Tree Frog beer was the beer of choice for The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. It’s like forgetting the picket fence in Tom Sawyer! I’d change it to a bottle but then everyone would probably think it’s soy sauce. So much for my career in drawing avatars. ☹

Stop trying to play the sympathy card! Accept the fact that your avatar plainly looks like a pickle jar. Learn from this, and move on. 😃

To my eye, anyway, it’s much too squat to be a beer can. And it’s shaped like a pickle jar. I don’t drink beer myself, but I may be prejudiced by the fact that all the beer I buy for guests is **[craft beer in tall cans](https://www.lcbo.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/lcbo/american-ipa-16022066098/muskoka-mad-tom-ipa-288837#.YLP8wNR7k-U)** that look nothing like pickle jars. Since I also consume pickles and have a wide experience of pickle jars, I think my expertise here is well rounded.

Since I can’t convince most people, I guess I do have to move on. ☹ I don’t think there is much of a market for pickle jar avatars. I’m going to have to depend on social security more than I planned. Best laid plans…

Don’t despair, there are posters  
**pickle**  
**Pickled**  
**Pickle\_Jar**  
**pickleding**  
**picklewiggle**  
and **Picklepea**  
that still need avatars.

Off to ~~harass~~ give a sales pitch to those on the list. Hope some of them still post here. My future may be secured!
