I finally figured out what an avatar was, and was going to select Geezil, but I did not find him Ashkenazic enough. Even though I am noted as a Popeye defender against the recent upswing of Pro-Bluto sentiment, I chose this picture of him, because with that expression, he reminds me of Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof.
Mr. Smith, who played the role, is one of my people and has done films in Israel, and he just looks like he's about to start singing "If I were a rich man." My grandparents came from small shtetls like the one in "Fiddler." Could I be a descendant of Bluto? I have the size and the beard although Olive's not my type....

Thet would involve picking through my dvds and making screencaps and editing them and then uploading them and adding them to the list here. Far too much effort. Especially now, when things are crazy here. Maybe next year.

Uh oh...maybe I should mention how one can get an avatar in a thread somewhere. I was assuming no one liked my premade avatars since no one was using them.

It's not I didn't want to use them, it's that I'm usually the last person who learns the new web based meanings of words. A blog is something really big stuck in the drain, and an avatar has to do with Siva, the Destroyer being the seventh and last incarnation of Vishnu. I know the world would be a lot safer if all Vishnu did was put a picture up of Popeye on his posts.
