Dear Tilt,

I can't think of an appropriate emoticon to use in this reply for you to erase.
But since we're on the subject of silly things, here's a picture of a bunny with a pancake on his head.

Some people also find animated avatars to be annoying.

Very. And sometimes photos of themselves as avatars can be disctracting.

So, Tilt, are you a wolf in bunny's clothing?

Speaking of confusion with avatars, I seem to recall that when I showed a picture of myself to people on E-Sangha, someone (Chris I think) thought it was odd that I wasn't blonde like the colour of the avatar I'm using. Perhaps she expected me to look like Shane Warne...

[My avatar (or at least the object in my avatar) is, by the way, in Singburi. It's a sleeping Buddha slightly larger (but less elaborate) than the one in Wat Pho http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wat_Pho in Bangkok, at 46 m according to this very reliable blog... http://www.thai-blogs.com/index.php/200 ... ki?blog=29].

There are a few (or at least one) here that think(s) I am a stinker no matter what clothing.Image And who am I to say I am not.

Perhaps I can show the bunny picture to my guinea pig. She's feeling a little lonely and needs cheering up...

Beats me.

Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how you're supposed to play with a guinea pig. We inherited her when her owner went back to Thailand. The most fun thing she gets up to is when she "whoops" at me when I open the refrigerator - hoping for a carrot... I've tried to train her to use one of those "critter balls", but she just sits there... :meditate:

You can always dress them up. When googling for the photo below "dressing quinea pig," there are photos of them dressed a bit differently. Eeeww.
