I voted "Stare Numbly And Giggle." Then again, that's my reaction to most things ever since the electro-shock here at the home.

The correct choice is: Adblock it just like every other animated avitar. Because people that have animated avitars are just obnoxious jerks.

I am now encouraged to exhaustively scour the intertubes in search of an animated Poindexter to incorporate as my Grylliade avatar. I do this not to spite Warren, but to buttress my claim as an obnoxious jerk.

In related news, efforts to locate or create an animated avatar of testicles being dragged over glass shards has proven unsuccessful to date.

Warren, you have no one to blame but yourself.

I think the Winnie the Pooh avatar was too short-lived.

I vote: Bring back the bear!

But I am an international man of mystery! A man with many faces, many identities! Also, a man with a short attention span and low boredom threshold. Anyway, as happy as I am with the high annoyance factor of my current avatar, I doubt it will last long.

I voted seizure. Never have I stabbed so fiercely at the 'escape' button.

I love it. It combines the stick figures of the "Good News for Modern Man" version of the bible with the hopeless repetitiveness of a platform game. Brilliant.

I do miss the Pooh bear though. I'm all in favor of variety, but he deserved a longer tenure.

Like Gail Wynand, I have bowed to the will of the masses!

I assumed this poll refers to the previous "bunch of people jumping around and possibly building something" avatar (which I thought was cool, BTW) rather than the current "probably a duck facing west but might be a bunny facing east" avatar, and have voted accordingly.

I like the new one. It's very post-modern.

It's still no WTP, though.

The new avatar is actually a famous picture within philosophical circles. (Admittedly, "famous among philosophers" is on a par with "tall for a pygmy.")

It looked familiar to me, actually.

Isn't that the duck from the dualism/monism diagram?

smacky, not originally, at least. It's from the same book as the quote in my sig space. I'll leave it to the truly bored to figure it out from there.

There's no quote in your sig space. Are you playing philosophical mind games now? :)

No. Notice that you have no sig message here either. It's some odd quirk about messages in polls as opposed to forum threads.
