Indeed.
How’s the head?
I knew there was a conspiracy theory going on here! The plot, it thickens!
That’s just lens flare, everyone knows that. Just enlarge it in Photoshop!
My head doesn’t turn all the way around. Who do you think I am – Linda Blair?
You insult me, sir! You have previously perpetrated a vile insult by referring to my fine avatar as “a paint-by-numbers spaniel that thinks it’s a wolf”. This did not go unnoticed, but I chose to take the high road and say nothing. But this is now a bridge too far, and these libelous “spaniel” invectives must cease at once. I am no more a spaniel than I am a South African springhare. I am a proud and noble Bernese Mountain Dog, as should be obvious to all (or at least, all who follow the Pet Pictures thread, in which I have figured prominently). We are noted for our high intelligence and generally affable nature. So much so, indeed, that we even get along with cats. But be warned, sir, that we are fearsome when provoked. Govern yourself accordingly, and cheese it with the spaniel references.

How do you know, have you really,really tried it?

No, but as noted, it was plausible that you had the same hirsute problem as Cousin Itt:
Hmm. First we have the ThelmaLou - Cousin Itt link. Now wolfpup posts a Cousin Itt-like photo that’s signed MOMOU. ThelmaLou-MOMOU. That’s almost the same name! They both end in “ou” and have an “m” somewhere in the middle. Do the math, sheeple!

…cheese it with the spaniel references.
Would that be Trappist Monk Cheese or Gjetost? (Those aren’t the same thing, are they?)

A Bernese Mountain Dog you say. Well, that changes everything! As a non-pet person I plead ignorance on the details of most dogly features. Nor was I aware of such a thread.
Though I must say that on close inspection your avatar has a look of intelligence and commitment to his mission usually missing from the slobbering wagging affections of the silly spaniels I’ve known.
My apologies for this gross insult to your pedigree Good Sir.
All I could find is this creepy marble carving.
What did I expect from a couple thousand year old guy?
I never paid much attention to avatars but since this thread started, I’ve been looking at them as I read through threads. Tonight I came across the avatar of @Kolak_of_Twilo. When I enlarged it and saw the walnut, I immediately remembered the Dick Van Dyke Show episode it references. Which I hadn’t thought of in maybe decades. So, of course, I had to stop and watch it on You Tube. It is still hilarious. Thanks Kolak.

This one might work better as an avatar.
@cincinnatus I want to see him at his plow (or plough, if you prefer).
@cincinnatus here’s that coin with an alpha channel if you want to use it

I wouldn’t have come up with the DVD connection in a million years. Might be because I have never seen an episode of DVD in my life.
You don’t know what you’re missing.
Tease.
Off topic, but I have to say I admire the way you talk about your relationship with your husband. You sound like you are still newlyweds, and seem a perfect match. To your future together.

My favorite DvD episode of all time. And, I swear, they show it less often than other eps.
ETA: I think it’s partly because Danny Thomas is such a schmoozy softy that he makes a funny villain.

Mine, too. I still giggle to think of it, and I haven’t seen it in decades.
Other than being a little of out focus, there’s Brian Ekers’ kitten with a mini-crown.
Can’t remember the poster whose avatar is a lab-coated doctor with (I think) a head mirror.
Quite the in-your-face smile he’s brandishing.
A certain banned poster with up-side-down “F”.
Well hey there @aurora_maire, I’m glad to see my avatar got you to connect with TDVDS. I truly find it to be one of the best, if not THE best, of the 60’s sitcoms. Great writing, great cast. And Rob and Laura are the perfect TV couple.
