Truth in Avatars
How about everyone who is going to post comments, information and criticism on the upcoming Primary choose a Avatar of their favorite candidate to date? This way everyone will know where you are coming from and be able to take your post in context.

I believe this will lessen the tension here just a hair and that is a good thing.

What do you say?

1. I don't have a favorite candidate and feel
that none of them running either represent me or have a shot in hell of winning.

Thus, I am a Grinch.

3. no!
I get too many smiles from looking at my puppy, Harry the Grumble Bear!

C'mon, tell me that pup ain't as cute as a proverbial button. No candidate is as cute as he is. He's staying! :evilgrin:

17. Rather than choose a candidate and then choose a fitting avatar, ...
... I'm going in reverse: my avatar reflects my attitudes.

And, I'll support any candidate that gets the nod. I vote in Indiana, so the primary will be meaningless. (If I'm wrong about that, I'll decide who to support in the Spring)

6. My avatar reflects my attitude
toward the poo-flinging that occurs during primary season.

9. I'm staying with Frank.
I like to be unique.

Oh, and nothing will lessen the tension here short of having our candidate named for the GE.

12. Lots of "Quacks" running.
At least your candidate is instantly recognized as one.

21. I'd vote for a Penguin in Bondage.

She's just like a penguin in Bondage, boy
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh...
Rennenhenninnahenninnenninahennn
Way over on the wet side
Of the bed (Knirps for moisture)

Just like the mighty Penguin
Flappin' her eight ounce wings

Lord, you know it's all over
If she comes atcha on the strut & wrap 'em
all around yer head

Flappin her eight ounce wings, flappinumm

She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy

Shake up the pale-dry
Ginger ale
Tremblin' like a Penguin
When the battery fail

Lord, you must be havin' her jumpin' through
a hoopa real fire
With some Kleenex wrapped around a
coat-hang wire

She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh...
Rennenhenninnahenninneninahenn
Howlin' over to some
Antarcticulated moon

In the frostbite nite
With her flaps gone white
Shriekin' as she spot the hoop across the room

Lord, you know it must be a Penguin bound down
When you hear that terrible screamin' and
there ain't no other
Birds around

She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh...
She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh...
Rennenhenninnahenninneninahennn
Aw, you must be careful
Not to leave her straps
TOO LOOSE

'Cause she just might box yer dog
She just might box yer doggie
An' leave you a dried-up dog biscuit

13. Nah. This is just politics. That is "Bob"!
On the hierarchy of ideals, there's no contest.

16. Poppin Fresh would probably be more compassionate than the current crop we have.
Plus think of all the we'd get!

18. Why all the labels?
I would rather remain anonymous, although I have chosen to support Biden. I think candidate avatars actually ENCOURAGE division.

JMHO.

23. My avatar is my puppy
In the end, aside from my other loved ones, she is certainly my most loyal friend. Hey! Get down off there! Stop chewing that! NOLA!!!

26. Not sure about it lessening tensions, but
I changed mine. The Carolinian is much easier on the eyes than the cowboy of death.
