Now that we're sporting Conyers avatars...

[Zomby Woof]

I can't tell posters apart anymore.

1. Yeah, it's like we've all been assimilated or something.

It's the Conyersborg. Resistance is futile. :7

[bettyellen]

2. it's like we're triplets!

[Zomby Woof]

7. Can greatauntoftriplets be our great aunt?

:crazy:

[bettyellen]

12. i'd trade my own aunt in for her!

but no one would take her.

[Ladyhawk]

3. I like Conyers, but I didn't want to give in to groupthink. :D n/t

[Zomby Woof]

6. I did it for Midori

When she asks a favor, I do not refuse. She is like my sister.

And being that I am the least-groupthinkiest person on DU, the fact I have his avatar is saying something. :D

[Ladyhawk]

20. Oh, I understand the sentiment.

John Conyers is my fucking hero right now. :)

And besides, you cannot disobey Midori, eh? It's just that I have this habit of looking at someone's avatar to see who they are. I should read people's names, instead, but my eye goes to the avatar.

Right now, John Conyers is a very prolific writer on DU. :D

4. It's like school uniforms for the internet

5. You put your finger right on it, ZW!

I knew something was bothering me, and that's IT! Not that I have ANYTHING against Mr. Conyers--hell no, of course not--but it does make us less individual. A certain sameness has crept over the Lounge, and I suspect, the whole of DU...

Ah well, this too shall pass...

:shrug:

9. See post #6

I am temporarily suspending my extreme independence for this one time. Besides, anyone who reads my posts in GD or LBN won't mistake me for anyone else. I dare to dissent where others fear... bwhahahaaa *evil laughter filling huge marbled hallway*

10. My solidarity is only for today

I will change sometime tomorrow,
I thought it was OK for one day

It doesn't take much to change back.

but it is confusing, because i do look at the avatars for reference on scrolling

[Straight Shooter]

11. It is a little mind boggling.

But I've had Conyers as my avatar for quite some time, so I'll keep him (if he'll have me). He's the closest thing I've ever had to a hero, clay feet and all.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. I didn't realize that it was just for one day...

That's certainly NO problem...even for me! I'm with you on using the avatars for reference when I'm scrolling. It's harder to identify someone when that person has the same one as the poster above and/or below!

[Zomby Woof]

14. I am sure if I used the CA state avatar...

No one would be calling me CaliforniaZomby. ;-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. No, of course no one would be calling you that!

Why would they? It's not your username....silly ZombyWoof! :hi:

[Zomby Woof]

16. I like it

I wonder if Skinner will let me change it.

CaliforniaZomby...CaliforniaZomby...CaliforniaZomby... hmmmm! :D

[IChing]

17. I don't know if was for one day I thought it was implied

but yes, totally agree it's confusing for me on scrolling.
To me, its like a school Friday kind of thing, wearing the schools colors
not an everyday thing.

I support the man, but I like and enjoy the individuality of our site.

[Zomby Woof]

18. I change avatars more frequently than freeps change undies

So in a day or two I will be back to Zappa, or the CA flag, or something else. :-)

[countmyvote4real]

8. I'm still holding onto my groupthink flag in distress. n/t

[BlueIris]

19. I was just posting what a great idea this was when I realized...

SHIT. By sporting a Conyers avatar I may have already cursed the effort. I'm really sorry, everyone, I have to go change my graphic now.
