    The purple hippo

    What do you think of my avatar. Should I keep it, or should it go?

    A flute without holes, is not a flute. A donut without a hole, is a Danish.

    I crack up ever time I see the purple hippo doing his/her dance
    I can pay retail anywhere, so how's your service?

    hippo vrs real pic?

    i like the idea of seeing a real pic but the hippo is neat with the movment. the original idea of avatars were to see who we are talking to wasnt it? i am sure if i was at a barbcue or picnic that i wouldnt recognize the real mr mages.

    I keep wondering why he keeps smacking himself... Far be it for me to suggest what someone's avitar should look like!!!

    Does the avitar tell us something about your looks or personality? I would imagine that a purple hippo would have a strong personality, either or .

    While we're at it, in which state/country/world is your Hobbit Hole? I don't think we have any left in Alabama.

    Me thinks he's not actually slapping himself. Look at him again, as if he is doing the "air slap" on someone's....errr.......backside.

    That reminds me of the movie "Death to smoochie". Smoochie was a hippo or a dino?

    I think it is funny, but then again it is suggestive and since we can not use bad words or even hidden words then I think it falls outside of what is clean. I've seen some avatars at a particular site that are pretty bad.

    I though maybe he was riding horse, like in the older comedy shows.
