    This is my giraffe.

    There are many like it, but this one is MINE.

    My giraffe is my best friend. It is my life.

    I must master it as I must master my life.

    My giraffe without me is useless. Without my giraffe, I am useless.

    I must fire my giraffe true.

    I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me.

    I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...

    My giraffe and myself know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire,

    the noise of our bursts, nor the smoke we make.

    We know it is the hits that count. We will hit...

    My giraffe is human, even as I, because it is my life.

    Thus, I will learn it as a brother.

    I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories,
    its sights, and its barrel.

    I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage.

    I will keep my giraffe clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready.

    We will become part of each other. We will...

    Before God I swear this creed.

    My giraffe and myself are the defenders of my country.

    We are the masters of our enemy.

    We are the saviors of my life.

    So be it, until there is no enemy, but Peace.

    Did you choose a Giraffe because it is the only animal with no vocal cords?

    Uh, OK, but you do realize that the kid in your picture is a boy, which means that somebody else . . .

    Oh, nevermind. It's too disgusting to think about.

    Tortimer- Animal Crossing is ridiculously addicting, I always play it and I don't even know why, but I can't stop playing it.

    Wizard Mentor- Nice shoutout to Magic: The Gathering. I still have a ton of cards sitting in a binder with my old Pokemon cards (Those never die).

    My avy is for my smurf name, I use smurf names for alot of things, but it all started when I played CS and an ad for a collectors DVD for the Smurfs came on TV, so I called my in game name: SmurfY. So it began....and 7yrs later I'm still going!

    it's a lot along the lines of the other ones, but the online feature is pretty fun.

    Reminds me of the famous taoist question, "What is the sound of one giraffe laughing?"

    Anyway, my giraffe and I don't need words to communicate. We look into each others' eyes and see our souls. Which is fortunate, given that you can't embed audio into gif files.

    I'm Mister Green Christmas
    I'm Mister Sun
    I'm Mister Heat Blister
    I'm Mister Hundred and One
    They call me Heat Miser,
    What ever I touch
    Starts to melt in my clutch
    I'm too much!


    He's Mister Green Christmas
    He's Mister Sun
    He's Mister Heat Blister
    He's Mister Hundred and One


    They call me Heat Miser,
    What ever I touch
    Starts to melt in my clutch


    He's too much!


    Thank you!
    I never want to see a day
    That's under sixty degrees
    I'd rather have it eighty,
    Ninety, one hundred degrees!
    (spoken)
    Oh, some like it hot, but I like it
    REALLY hot! Hee hee!


    He's Mister Green Christmas
    He's Mister Sun


    Sing it!


    He's Mister Heat Blister
    He's Mister Hundred and One


    They call me Heat Miser,
    What ever I touch
    Starts to melt in my clutch
    I'm too much!


    Too Much!




    How many people now have that song stuck in their heads?

    none other than Travis Outlaw.
    I photoshopped this during the summer while bored at my internship, same thing with my sig.
    Trav is my fv Blazer and this pic was taken after he rejected Kleiza at the end of the denver game.

    My avatar demonstrates (a) the Sidekick LX has a flash that doesn't work so well, and (b) I haven't had people taking enough pics with me and women lately to keep up with my original avatar updating policy.

    My avatar (for now) is of the greatest sports announcer of all time. The term "slam dunk"...yeah...he invented that

    The picture illistrates what he said when games were in hand:
    "This game's in the refrigerator: the door is closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the Jell-O's jigglin'!"

    All hail Chick Hearn!

    Airball, dribble-drive, triple double, finger roll, brick....yeah, all his

    Ah. I see your take on avatar picking is the same as your power-ranking. Semi-random. ;)
