Elite  2863    |  Subject: I'm not a Slug! The story of a mans Avatar.If my avatar could talk, he would say… "I’m NOT a Slug! I’m an Alpaca. A happy, leaping and bounding Alpaca with an innocent smile. Don’t recoil at my enthusiastic grin. I’m not coming to get you. I’m just trying to have fun!" I chose my little friend as an avatar because the damn thing cracks me up every time I see it. In a way it kind of reminds me of myself. Bounding through life with a stupid grin. On a side note, since the actual animated gif is larger than what is shown the image breaks apart. You might notice how some of the lines seem to separate. Do any of you know how to shrink an animated gif file without any special software? Thank you for reading, and please stop insulting my poor avatar. Here's a picture of the real thing...

Elite Veteran 777 flatland | Subject: RE: I'm not a Slug! The story of a mans Avatar. Alpacas aren't green, hairless, and with pointy teeth. I am NOT buying it.  OTOH, I am not creeped out by your avatar, I quite like it. It's certainly unique. From one mistaken-avatar-owner to another. (it is NOT an insect, damnit, it's a heron!) |

Buttercup 14334 | Subject: RE: I'm not a Slug! The story of a mans Avatar. Madeye! Thank you for clarifying that - I always thought it was some kind of beetle. But now I clearly see it's a bird. Just needed a change in perspective (sometimes that's all it takes to see clearly, huh?). Alpaca, I mean no insult to your avatar but I do find it creepy. I think MrEff (?) has the coolest creepy avatar - the Eye. |

Veteran 142 Wichita, KS | Subject: RE: I'm not a Slug! The story of a mans Avatar. Was anyone insulting it? Was anyone putting down the freakish, carnivorous bounder from the beyond? Say it ain't so! By the way, if you say your name fast enough (I'm pronouncing it "oypoyoy", the ole spanish double L), you can say it right in time with the bounding. It's as if the monster is cheerfully calling out as it bounds to chew on my flesh. I think I had a bad dream about this thing last night. Make it stop! Really, this is the last I will say on the matter, oipolloi. From now on, I will just shudder and keep my thoughts to myself. Edited by goodzen 2005-09-30 9:14 AM |

The Original 7834 Raleigh/Durham | Subject: RE: I'm not a Slug! The story of a mans Avatar. oipolloi - 2005-09-30 9:26 AM Here's a picture of the real thing... Ok- so this guy is super cute- much cuter than the green slug like creature leaping around. I don't see the resemblance though. The real animal is brown, furry which isn't creepy, but down right adorable. Are these animals related to lamas? They seem to look somewhat similair. |

Creepy and slug like? Runergirl, come on! Yes, I think they're related to Lama's. People breed these for their coat. Don't ask me why I know this, I'm no Alpaca expert... |

Master 2278 State of Confusion | Subject: RE: I'm not a Slug! The story of a mans Avatar. Okay, I am so glad you clarified because at first it reminded me of a cross between a llama and the Lochness Monster.  |

Pro 5153 Helena, MT | Subject: RE: I'm not a Slug! The story of a mans Avatar. At first I thought it was a llama, until someone noted the creepiness. Then I looked at it closer and... does anyone remember the movie Tremors?..... it's definitely a llama that mounted one of those things. . . . . For those who are annoyed by animated avatars, try hitting escape. |

Master 1938 La Crosse | Subject: RE: I'm not a Slug! The story of a mans Avatar. Well of course there's  and, for those who are cruel and really, really hate this thing:  I've seen that avatar on all kinds of sites. Still freaks me out. I always thought it some anime thing, not an alpaca. |
