It started here when Rob figured out the secret code to put the word Banned in his user title, but could remain posting.

Can you dig up the original avatars that Rob, Haggis, and RT were forced to wear? I think Rob's was my favorite.

You know, Haggis, I ain't so sure that was a good idea.

Just sayin'...

I've had worse done to me. OFG turned me into a newt once.

Or was that K1P1?

:roll:

Of course I can laugh...my avatar already looks ridiculous. On purpose, no less.

But still...:ROFL:

The Hello Kitty days earned several hundred dollars in donations to AW on challenges that Rob, Rllg and Haggis wouldn't be able to live with those avatars for - what was it, a month?

30 painful days. Yes. And then there was the follow up challenge from--was it Silver King or ToT? We had to either post our actual pics as our avatars or our favorite Whig politician for an additional two weeks. Something like that.

gah!
One Must Embrace One's Innner Hello Kitty. It Is The Sign Of A True Man.

(not that I was one of those who turned into hell-o kitties on purpose or by my own volition - no, it was forced on me by some wayward modulator...)

It was bad. It was real bad. [from a DUI lawyer's commercial a few years back, those who listened to Atlanta's 96 Rock may remember]

But it was no worse than the "self-help" groups I've been a part of, where one must tell one's most innermost secrets. (Is "most innermost" redundant? There was a lot of redundancy and repetition...)

So, embrace your inner Hello Kitty. Regrettably, I didn't even save a copy of mine, though I'll never forget that image - it was a Hello Kitty x-ray/skeleton.

It was I. And I'm proud of it. Proud, I say.

Actually... in all honesty... I didn't have the power to do it alone. I was helped.

But I'll never tell who helped me.

Perhaps I can find out on my own.

Hey. Anyone leave this newt lying around?

Wait...wasn't there also a time when everyone was turned into a Teletubby?
I STILL think Haggis shoulda' been the purple one--black handbag included!! It would enable him to carry 'round his Scooby Snacks!
