I am so pleased that our Intrepid took the advice on the William Shatner/Avatar thing , (well, technically it was Setanta that mentioned Shatner in the first place, after I had told Mr I that he should never consider using Celine Dion.....thanks Set!).
The problem is that, every time I see Shatner's face, I'm reminded of the Wierd Al Yankovic Ebay song..............go to :-
http://www.imagestorepro.com/ebaysong.html ....then look at the little picture on the centre of the page, and press play.
Excerpt :-
"Tell me why (I need another pet rock)
Tell me why (I got that Alf alarm clock)
Tell me why (I bid on Shatner's old toupee)
They had it on eBay
Absolutely brilliant.....and SOOOO true!
Who should Intrepid use as his NEXT Avatar?
Who or what would be most annoying/pleasing/funny etc? (Dion and Shatner excluded, of course)

Hey, he actually did have Celine the Québec Horror for an avatar before he switched to James Tiberius Kirk--at least we're seeing some improvement. Who knows, mayhap he'll got to Michael J. Fox next . . .
This coming from a guy that has had a complete body makeover on this avatar and another that has changed to a ugly poodle and cute brown dog! :-)
Since my selection of avatar is of such great joy and amusement to you both, I will gladly indulge your fancy. Enjoy it while you can.
Your cordial good humor, and willingness to accede to our wishes do you credit . . .
Red hair doesn't suit you, Intrepid.
Maybe a big, hunky Lumberjack might be better Mr I, although since my virility makeover, I thought my luck would change, but I havent had ONE SINGLE OFFER !!....... (well, a couple of PM's were very suggestive, although I would have preferred it if those messages were from FEMALE A2K members.
I consider that it is their loss though, as they have most probably missed out on what could have been the most exciting 90 seconds of their lives.
What other famous Canadians are out there, Mr I ?, as we may be able to vote on them for you, or something.
We are sincere in our desire to help you.......honest.

Hmmmm.........although Pamela Anderson would be good, I dont think that you'd fit her on an Avatar.
Jay Silverheels sounds cool though....
P.s. Is that Al Waxman, or A1. Waxman, 'cos if it's A.1., it sounds like he's got the ideal job.
Later edit:- My god!! I've just googled Jay Silverheels and he looks just like Tonto !
Remarkable.

We could use just a head shot of Pamela ;-)
AL Waxman
Gosh! Tonto IS Jay Silverheels :-)
How come Margaret Trudeau isn't on that list of famous Canadians? She's certainly deserving...

What did she do? Other than marry a Prime Minister? Oh, I haven't forgotten the book.
Besides, if I won't use Pamela Anderson for an avatar, I certainly will not use Margaret (Trudeau) Kemper.
No problem. I prefer John Candy, anyhow...
The King of Kensington! he'd be like the totally best Canajun avatar!
(used to see Al and his gang on Saturday mornings at a restaurant called The Bagel near the real Kensington Market during the 90's. RIP King)

Al was one of the great ones!
Yup. I'm sad that I never got to see him on the stage. He was supposed to have quite the presence.
I still miss seeing him when I go to The Bagel.
and only 65 when he died... so young
ohhhhhhh, you look gorgeous, Intrepid.
Love that King.
<sigh>
Quote:"When he walks down the street
He smiles at everyone.
Everyone that he meets
Calls him 'King of Kensington'.
He says helping people always brings him luck
But his mother tells a slightly different story
He's the only king around without a buck.
He's a man among men, the people's champion
And when destiny calls him
He's King of Kensington"

Well I, err he, was much younger then. :-)
I'm smiling every time I see the King.
Stumble It!
