I can't see the image. I think this is may be one time I'm glad Photobucket is blocked here at school.

That one is worth looking at when you get home...or go to the library or something
. 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?!?!!

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 have considered your comments....
....and decided to bring it back again anyway.

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 am glad to see the treasure of Darkside history has survived the software changeovers.

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
), 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!!!!!

Oh geez!!!!! But I must admit it is nice to remember some of the members who replied to the thread. In fact, the replies are better than the OP.

Joe,
So nice to see you posted. Hope all is well. It must have been a slow day at the shop for the deadking to bring this thread back.

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.

Having visited Michael (and Terry too!) in beautiful Asheville a couple of years ago, I can highly recommend that visit.
