    That one is worth looking at when you get home...or go to the library or something image. I know nothing of WoW but I am most curious...do the players make those things up, and if so, who did it????

    edited to add: Okay, I just re-read that. Hyperion, you made that didn't you?!?!! image

    I think this thread died a painful death years ago. It's now a Zombie thread.

    Well, zombies are popular these days, so Bingo Greentoe can ride the wave.

    On the other hand, if it is supposed to be good-natured joshing, it's wearing pretty thin after nearly 4 years, and oblivion still seems like a good target.

    Just MHO.

    I know it may not be a good idea bringing this to the top, but I wonder if an icon, avatar, can be made from dadams image.

    I did a little cropping and tried it on. I'll leave it a bit. It's a bit blurry, but if you choose to crop a little more I'm sure it will look better.

    I'll always remember the filthy Greentoe. Isn't there a tale about some cousin or somesuch known as Greentoe Toejam - a-rama-lama-jam-jam? Seems he was washed out of a swampy Cajun swill hole, and came to live with Bingo, finding the ambiance much to his liking.

    I've stepped in to correct a rare typo on my part all those years back.

    BTW Ajaan, Medicare is happening for you in just FIVE YEARS. I looked up your current Medicare Supplement rates in your domicile (it doesn't matter it's a hole in the ground, just the zip code of the hole location :p ), and you'd better move before then. AARP is the lowest at $181 per month, and that's really high .... almost as high as the blue-hairs from New Yawk who've moved to Florida have to pay. The better choice would be VA/NC where the savings differential alone would allow you buy more of those 1958 proof pennies; one or two per year. But don't dig a new hole near the Dismal Swamp since it would fill with water. However, if the wizard turned you into a fish then you'd be fine.

    Of course, the new Greentoe Medicaid plan is also an option, but maybe not as good as being a fish in the swamp. Maybe the wizard would do you a favor by turning the water in the swamp into malt liquor ..... now, that's the ticket!!!!! ;)

    It has been almost 20 years since this was originally posted, where have the years gone?

    At any rate I am happy to report that our own Bingo Greentoe lives and is every bit as un-respectable as he has ever been.

    A few weeks ago I had the fortune (I will let you decide if that fortune was good or bad) to break bread with Mr. & Mrs. Greentoe here in rainy Western North Carolina and of course had a delightful time.
