    << <i>Jordan, when I tell people my name, the immediate assumption is that it is a shorter, slangier version of your name. I have to patiently explain that it is a variation of George. Some still don't get it, but I've gotten used to it over the years.

    Geordie >>


    I had a buddy growing up that went by Geordie and it was a variation of George too.

    I business I started to move to Jordan as people seem to not understand "Jordy" when I say it. They ask either "Jody? Jorie?"

    Frustrating...

    Og - catcher for the Neanderthals

    I think he ended up being traded to the Yankees in '77 before ending up in a glacier somewhere.

    Gotta say that Og is one of the best avatars I've seen
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    If you don't recognize my main avatar, you've come to the wrong board.

    The avatar in my sig file is due to the banning of a longtime board member (Vargha) who used that same avatar. Several other members adopted the same avatar after his ban.

    You can upload your own icon from your computer. CU only allows the uploading one day a month, though, usually on the 15th, but this month it will be on the 13th (Tuesday). If you go into your profile on the 13th, you should be able to see the upload option available. The size limit is said to be 100 pixels by 100 pixels.

    I love the Stephen Hawking, Billy Joel, and John Lennon pics. I had no idea that it was Will Ferrell as Harry Carey - I thought maybe it was the guy from Revenge of the Nerds for some reason.

    Mine is Bob Dylan from the cover of "Blonde on Blonde" in 1966, one of his masterpieces that helped change American music.
    I am buying and trading for RC's of Wilt Chamberlain, George Mikan, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and Bob Cousy!

    Mine is a photograph I took during a terrible ice storm here a couple years ago. It is a statue in my yard. Interestingly, I guess I got lucky and it was icon day when I uploaded it, as I didn't know you could only do such on certain days.

    Oh, I knew it was going to be today, but apparently it was only available for an hour or two and not the full day. Therefore if you didn't guess right you got screwed. image

    I think I might have uploaded that one years ago. Maybe not, but it's been my fantasy league logo in the past.

    Anyway, mine is Morrissey. Like, formerly of the Smiths and stuff.
