Avatars

Yes. Yes it was. You'd be amazed how difficult I can make things.

Besides, Google is often useless. Permit me to demonstrate:

http://www.letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=Case+Car

You're looking for an automobile built by the Case company. Lotsa luck.

I never said it was always going to work.

For that search though I don't think that's a fair repesenation, the Case company doesn't exactly feature top of the line with google, so it's no wonder you get bad results.

Anyway, I want to change my avi, what should I pick, any recommendations?

[Mr Initial Man]

Actually, it's a very fair representation of a lot of the problems with using google: Sometimes you simply CAN'T find what the heck you're looking for, because the words are so common!

Here's another thing to google: Recorder. How many links have anything to do with music? (Thanks to Wikipedia, you CAN find something on the musical instrument.)

[scragar]

I don't think the problem is google's fault, the problem is the frequency of the words simply being so high, I can't see a reason why anyone would call their company "Case", sounds like a really bad practice if you want to be found online.

Spamdexing doesn't help either.

There was a perfectly good reason: The founder was Jerome Increase Case (1819-1891).

Something to do with music?

Been so long since I posted that I've even forgotten what my avatar looks like. My boss at work has started monitoring internet use very strickly. I could probably get away with anything since I wrote the monitoring program for him, but others in my department might be tasked with watching me. Yes, Big Brother is alive and well in my office.

[Mr Initial Man]

Ain't that always the way. Yeah, if I forgot what my Avatar looked like, it would be a clear sign I need to spend more time here. *Checks to see what his avatar looks like.*

That's an oooold closeup of my grandson, so it must be time to change. In honor of the Superbowl just having been played (very vaguely), I think I will change it to a logo from the greatest football team in the world within the next couple of days. Any guess as to who I'm referring to?

[Mayday]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers! Obviously! :P

[Mr Initial Man]

The Miami Dolphins, the only team to have a perfect season?

[scragar]

Football? That belongs to Manchester United.

/me denies the existence of American football

I fully understand your feelings. Now if American Football inspired the same kind of riots that real football did, I might watch more of it.

Hey, those riots just go to prove how much people care about the game.

[NogDog]

As much as it pains me to say it, if you are talking about the all-time greatest NFL team in terms of NFL championships, it would have to be the Green Bay Packers (12), followed in 2nd place by my beloved Chicago Bears (9).

I never said they were a bad thing. Heaven knows they're far more entertaining than the sport itself.
