Be careful what you use for an avatar

[cdavis]

Its 6:15 am, pre-coffee, and I am groggily reading my morning newspaper when what do I discover but an article with a picture of DBs own Jimdoe2you. In fact, it’s exactly the same pic he uses for his avatar. Now this alone should have clued me that something wasn’t quite right, but remember, this is pre-coffee. Anyway, I get this warm feeling of gratitude that Dbers are finally getting some recognition in the mainstream press and proceed to read the article. What do I find but a discussion of child sex, 40 year old virgins, and what appears to my half awake brain to be assorted other perversions. Not thinking too clearly, I get fleeting feelings of outrage the DB could be associated with this trash, wondering how we managed to harbor such a pervert, wanting to break out my guns and go waste the guy. After all, he only lives a few miles down the road.

All this excitement wakes me up, more or less, and I proceed to really read the article, discovering that is actually about some guy named Jim Carrol, who I never heard of, who happens to be some kind of movie star. It’s his picture. The article is discussing his work. Slowly, memory returns and I discover a mental file that says Jimdoe2you used a stock publicity pic of Carrol for his avatar.

The moral of the story is: be careful who you use for an avatar, you might get mistaken for somebody else. . . . Or maybe I should resolve to drink my coffee before reading the newspaper.

My laugh for the day.

Jims a sick puppy ( we all know that ) and its not a bad thing

Jacko's just a plain Sicko, orbiting his own little bleached white world
where he is normal and we are all strange.
And he cant even use drugs as an excuse like any other self respecting rock star.

The things you see when you havnt got a gun
