I'm not convinced.

My other obsession is heraldry. This is a coat of arms I designed and rendered myself. The style is Germanic but the content relates to Irish things.

I'm going to Dublin for the first time next month and I want a picture of me sitting next to him. Is that allowed?

Go to O'Donoughes Pub and have a pint. Turn right on leaving the pub and keep walking straight ahead for about ten minutes. When you come to Baggot Street bridge - over the Grand Canal - turn right along the canal path before crossing the bridge. The bench is about fifty yards along the path.

We could make it a given that any Chiffer going to Dublin gets a pic taken at the bench and posts it up. We'll soon have our own CP thread going.

Here's mine

His original bench was right here and if you look over to the right hand of the shot you can see the sculpture.

When you get a few pics, turn back around and go back to O'Donoughes for another few pints.

Mission accomplished.

Slan,
D.

Hey, you and he both have your legs crossed away from each other. Didn't you get on?

Seriously, great photo and I'll see what I can do...

I don't care if I'm 33 years old . . . I LOVE Peep!

It's the sweetest kids program on the Learning channel, narrated by Joan Cusack, about a chicken, a robin, and a duck, learning all about the Big Wide World. It's just cute and simple but not infantile.
And it's got birdies!!

Is that a Rudall or a Pratten? And how do you like it? (I've been coveting a Burns for some time)

I rotate through various whimsical scottie images. This is the one I always come back to; the imagery has deep personal meaning, but also it exemplifies the spirit of the breed: The wee Scot waiting faithfully --yet impatiently (you can tell by the posture, and the ears)--for a loved one.

That raises the question: I wonder if there's any way of figuring out who has the oldest avatar on the board? After perusal of the 'posters by date' list, I'd guess it's Rich... perhaps some of the veterans would remember; has he ever had another? ...Umm...we know it ain't Dale.

I'm pretty sure Peeplj's predates Rich's. Rich had a different one before this, that was a photograph.

Mine's a logo I made for an online newsletter ("The Raving Concertina Lunatic.") I only made one issue, and then never got around to a second one.

I used to have a photo of one of our goats, but deleted it accidentally, and couldn't be bothered to find another photo the right size. So I found this kinda clip art thing and modified it to look like another one of our goats.

Mine is the character from Star Trek the Next Generation. He is a holographic doctor but he was designed by a real Starfleet doctor who showed up on Deep Space 9. His name was Dr. Zimmerman. My name is Bob Zimmerman. Cosmic!

Ah yes, the good doctor!
You wouldn't happen to look like Robert Picardo by some sick irony, would you?
