Barry Sanders
I just noticed the contrast with other users and it reminded me of Jeff's reaction when I sent the pic for my avatar. And I was wondering, does it bother anyone? I realize it's kind of out of place, but is it really? Just a thought. I understand it's not all that important, but I cant't help but to ask.
Oh well.

I've been assuming he's an american football/basketball/hockey player and the #20 could be his shirt number? but yeh, he just looks like 'simon's ghost' to me too.

ok, just fine then. btw barry sanders was a pro (american)football player, now in the pro football hall of fame. he was known for his ability to litterally disappear from a defender's field of vision with his crazy moves, speed and agility, and I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHY I'M TELLING YOU ALL THIS STUFF but now you know. Personnaly I just enjoy it when people do amazing stuff, not the sword-swallowing, I-can-stick-a-hook-in-my-cheek kind of freak stuff, but athletic and intellectual prowess really is a thrill to me. I guess it comes from knowing first hand how important it is to try to reach your potential with any given talent instead of letting it go to waste... I have a link somewhere to some really impressive videos, I'll check that out later. ahem ( lame attempt to connect this to GitS) this guy could do stuff you'd think only a cyborg can do!
Oh well.

there you go, the movies are about 5 min. each I think. Impressive stuff. Like looking at motoko make a 50ft leap... not.

I've always thought that your Barry Sanders avatar was kind of a weird choice, and I've never much liked it (I hate sports), but the choice of avatar is up to the user, so you should stick with it if you like it (I'm all for free will).
