Seeing your user name all these years never rang a bell. But when I enlarged the avatar, it just clicked. It’s funny how the mind works. I can’t say I even remember any other episodes though I’m sure I saw them all as a kid. That one, however, stuck with me. ---

Thanks to the 1-2 punch of @GreenWyvern and @squeegee my avatar has been delivered from creepdom. A thank-you and a shake of the Cincinnatus plow to you two. ---

A shout out to @Dr.Crap for both having an awesome avatar, and for creating a high-quality one for me (and several other posters). ---

> [@TroutMan](#): > > … @Dr.Crap for both having an awesome avatar As the old TV commercials used to almost say: > With a name like that, it has to be good! Aside: it took me a bunch of YouTube searching to actually locate the product that jingle went with. I’ll probably remember that tagline to my dying day, but I had no idea what product went with it, and I probably won’t know a year from now either. Such is the (weird) power of advertising. ---

Hmm, maybe @Dr.Crap has one of those avatars people are asking how to block? I mean, blue poop, really! Bad enough there is a thread right now about turning your poop blue. 🙂 Also, how do we know your avatar isn’t really a trout woman? You could just be sneaking her in to destroy men’s avatar culture! ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > Long before transgenderism became a mainstream thing the gender ambiguity in SDMB screen names and later icons has always been a thing. Sure, a _bad_ thing. it’s totally necessary for me to know the gender and sexual orientation of all posters. totally. For all we know, you could be **LSLGirl**! Just because you speak of your wife occasionally doesn’t prove you are a dude, dude. Plus, your avatar looks like the Underwriters Laboratory thing which just confuses everything even more. 😕 Look at my name and avatar. First, a manly man’s name. Second, a manly man’s drink of choice, a beer. Everyone can just feel the testosterone bursting out. ---

Now now, let’s be inclusive here @Northern_Piper ; everyone can be as gender-specific as they like. I chose specific; you did not. There’s room for both. 😉 ---

At first I thought it was Stouffer’s the TV dinner people. Then I was trying other brands like Sara Lee. Apparently the “S” was leaking through although I didn’t recognize that I was unconsciously chasing an S-word. I think the fact @Dr.Crap’s name has one syllable was also blocking my memory. As well in my alternate formulation “with a name like _that_ it has to be good”, the “that” was driving me towards one-syllable words. ---

Is that a female mosquito anus in your avatar? ETA: I have just realized that I’m on quite shaky ground commenting on the resemblance of other people’s avatars to anuses. ---
