Hi Fyron, Thanks, now you can enjoy the mispelled "Grey" moniker.

Welcome back once again!

Missed this too.
I'm still getting used to reading the board.

Nice to be back. Feels comfy allready.

Yo! Grey_One.. you do remember that I'm the one to see about avatars right? or is your memory slowly being replaced with jello?

It's good to see you back on the boards,.. Welcome Home!

Cheers!

Thamks, nice to be back.

Brain is as good as ever, (for what that is worth). Can't play EDEE or model railroads or date women with jello brains.
Can I send you a pic, (when I find one) of a desired Avatar?
Thanks

Great to see you again, its been too long. And hey, you may not have the energy to be funny (since you're right, it takes a lot of energy!), but not all of us are funny, myself in particular. Really is good to see you back!

Heh. And talent. When it comes to 'standard jokes' in real life - The best description I have for my joke-telling ability is a joke.

'Bob had just gotten into prison. Since his was a minor crime, he and the other prisoners were allowed the freedom of the building and grounds.

So, Bob wanders around and comes accross four guys sitting around a table and hears one of them saying '86!'. Everyone bursts out laughing.

'14!' - More laughter. '52!' - Yet more laughter.

Understandably curious by this time, Bob asked 'What's so funny about numbers?'

One guy turned to him and said 'Oh, we've been here so long we've memorized all our jokes and numbered them. So now, whenever we want to tell a joke, we just say the number.'

So Bob asks 'Mind if I try?'

'Sure, go ahead.'

'17!' - Dead silence.

Bob - 'Wasn't it funny?'

Other guy - 'I guess some people can tell them, and some people can't.''

That's me. (No, I'm not in prison.

) I can't do those kinds of jokes. I do them well enough on the internet, if I have a good one, but in real life I either crack up to soon, or don't tell it well, or something. IRL, I'm better at dry, spontanious, ironic comments.

So, point? I guess the point is, you just have to find the kind of humor you're good at and use that.

Welcome back Grey_One! I am not sure what else to add to my post, so I will settle for that (is there any such thing as a posting block? Hmm...).

I gave the avatar more thought based on your insightfull comments and came up with this...

A man of deep thought, fully aware that mankind was not easily defined by right and wrong, black and white, or truth and lies. A man who saw mankind as a constantly shifting fog with moments of clarity and blinding darkness...

My guess is this is closer, but you might be looking for something more abstract like what Gandalf has suggested.

Anyway, I do enjoy making these.

Cheers!

How about a Mobius Strip
No Beginning, end, middle
Unless someone already is usihg one.
I no longer have a beard or mustache. The stache came off for my 50th bday.

Dude! That's a pic of Plato, not you.

(It's an avatar, not a self portrait, but if you want one of you, just send me a link to your pic.)

I'll see what I can do with a Mobius Strip...

Cheers!

Edit: Back with a couple versions of a Mobius Strip..

So? Good? Bad? Ugly? (Carefull with your choice

)
