I have. In fact, I've just done it. Please make note of the godawful "hippie student" photo (yeah, I'm afraid it's really me) temporarily substituting for my true avatar. The offending photo is taken from my actual college ID (which I still have) and dates back to 1997 (I elected to work my way up -- for years -- before finally capitulating and doing the university thing). Under the terms of the agreement I've signed off on (I swear I was drunk at the time, officer), I must leave this unsightly visage in place as my YA avatar until the weekend is over (I'm thinking Monday morning will suffice). In return, a certain party must refrain from any and all (deranged and obsessive?) hippie questions in YA for the next six months... after which I feel sure he will post hippie Qs like a fiend! Anyway, a deal is a deal, even if it's a devil's bargain. \n\nSo what's your story? Have you ever done anything as stupid as this? Please provide details, as laughter is always best when shared. Ta!

I love that you were able to show yourself in this manner.. you should be boasting with pride of years gone by... I know that I was pleasently surprised by your picture posting !! Thank you again on behalf of everyone who follows you about JUST to see what will Mac say/do next?...\n\nSorry to hear that a 'certain person'.. LOL.. must refrain from all hippiedom for 6 months .. but all is fair when you wager a bet... and it looks as though you have won AGAIN!!!!  \n\nHave I done anything to the likes of this?.. Not that I can recall.. but I will be careful to remember any such thing to share over the next few days to make you giggle........ YES I SAID GIGGLE.. because you know if I DID do something.. it would be WAY worse than showing your hippie hair!!!!!!... You are too much fun!!!!!!!\n\nP.S. I loved cleaning up my Yahoo Mailbox and finding this picture over and over again..You have caused so many smiles and giggles from this...aww...the enjoyment and torture of battling with friends.. LOL...\n\nOh Boy.. lovely that I am not old enough to claim Alzheimers in remembering an incident... (Deep Breath.. \nHere it goes).. I once was lacking for a chair to sit upon.. so an empty (and clean) mop bucket sufficed to rim the bottom enough to balance on.. except a friend happened to tilt me off balance and I became suction cupped into the bucket.. (Picture an oversized turtle that grew too big for it's shell) needless to say they all died laughing, I however wasn't nearly as amused, but when it came time to pop out of the bucket I truely was stuck and was only capable of rolling over to my knees and hands then I was able to see the humor in my friends trying to help me through their hysterical laughter and tears by trying to regain composure and strength enough to not fall over laughing while bracing their hands on bucket and feet on back of my legs to break the suction... (Do you know that breathless laugh where you gasp for air?)  Ok..that's the end of story time.. geez you guys bring out the best and worst in me!! Now do you feel better about your hair??

LensCrafters is running a scam. \n\nI went there yesterday and showed them the box I'm living out of, and I even blew some of my unimaginable halitosis on the lady who was fitting a frame on my face.  I thought for sure I was going to get hooked up!  But they pointed at my "Will Work for Food" sign, and noted that I used a "Sharpie" Brand marker to write on the sign (instead of using my own feces - oops, my mistake),  and they said that *I* was too rich, too.  \n\nIt must be a marketing strategy.

aww.  i thought you were going to tell me the dog on your avatar was jesus in another life.  oh well.  \n\nyou know, everybodys still in a learning stage in one way or another.  \n\nyou sound more like a pastor than a regular yahoo answer goer, or a math teacher.  \n\nyou could just open a church and talk there, at least people might be a little more wiling to listen.  i read all of  what you had to say (didnt care to read all the answers) but i couldent help but think, "thats nice, this guy wants everybody to know his whole life story."  i know alot of people who want want me to know their whole life story. some more anoying, some less eventfull, some a little more weed involved.

There was originally a jim darwin thing the guy did with the picture in my icon.  It was very funny.  He seems to be doing the thing in good taste.  I usually answer his or her questions.\n\nI would definately consider it an honor.

I've been on here about 3 weeks, mostly answering questions. I've answered all types of questions from the serious to the seriously stupid, to the ones that made me laugh out loud. I enjoy the clever joke questions far more than I enjoy the continuously regurgitated "How much wood can a woodchuck chuck?" questions.\n\nI admire your test of the system too. I was wondering myself whether people only answer silly questions and ignore the more serious ones. So far I've only asked two question, both were basically the same question and both were serious questions. I've had exactly one response to each of the questions and one of the answers wasn't particularly nice either.\n\nMaybe I'm going about it all wrong. Maybe I should be asking if dancing nude in a store window would be an appropriate way to earn money for breast cancer?\n\nAnd yes, I think josh should be reinstated.

I ask those kinds of questions and I've noticed it.  Good advice is to not take anything personally.  People just state their opinion and it's over with.  I don't know what's such a big deal about an avatar.  It's a cartoon - not real by any stretch of the imagination.  Sometimes I do think they're working for some "big brother."  Keeping my eyes open sir - LOL...

Actually I did something like this once for a friend of mine. She was dating this guy and she wasn't really sure how sincere he was. So, I put up a personal ad incognito of course and snagged him. It was fun to play an alter ego of mine! She got what she wanted and I got to have some fun.

I have to thank you, for the report? Your not insane, the insanity is the children's behavior. Yes they are children, and we as adults have to apply the American laws that are available. These children don't have the capacity or knowledge to act like an adult. You can't fake-it kiddy's. I have a petition to Yahoo right now with alot of support, and it isn't from the children that are trying to rule these pages. You have got to realize this is there method. I propose that you just keep speaking your mind. These children are outside of their forum anyway, Yahoo has a teen & preteen site in here right now. So keep turning them in, and complain as often as you can. Yahoo says that they don't want to supply another Myspace.com thats in court all the time. I don't want any advise from a minor, what would that make me? I am not on their level thank GOD. So please try to help them, and maybe there will be a happy medium, and we adults might be able to talk freely in here.

I realized that  its almost impossible to have an internet foum like this without attracting every idiot with an IQ between a bottle of Dasani and a lost left sock. Man, I HATE having to be post along side people who just take up space and devalue other people's wisdom.\n\nAlso,  I keep sharting.

That's obviously a load of old rubbish, however I know there is a scientific basis and evidence of some big loser who stole someone's identity and asked dumb questions about 'do you like philipino girls', then get all smug and righteous about the Yahoo rules when that person gets suspended. Remind you of anyone? *sniff sniff* \n\nI can STILL smell hypocrisy and it's very close!

Yeah, I was there and the best advice I can give you is to not miss this one! Judging from the NYC signing at least, Paul is in a greater mood than he's ever been...He was ridiculously gracious, signing two copies for everyone, personalizing the CDs or DVDs and engaging in a little conversation...\n\nThe first people for some reason assembled 3 days and 3 nights before. By about 24 hours before the wristbands were to be handed out, about 30-40 people were there. I went the night before the signing, at around 9 pm and was 210th in line- ordinarily a risky place to be but we were told Paul would be signing for about 300 people (He stayed longer and must've siged for about 400 people). I would say, go the evening/night before. There tends to be a time, however, the night before when everyone decides to come to try and beat the last rush...In NY that seemed to begin around 10-11 and carried on till about 1. I'd say just make sure you get there a couple of hours before you anticipate that.\n\nI'd also nip down the area the afternoon before to see how many people have lined up. If you can nip by again after any period of time, you should be able to judge how fast the line is forming. Remember though to seriously pack for an expidition- extra socks, extra covering, the trusted folding chair that's dying to give way, a sleeping bag, an unbrella, something for a pillow...\n\nI goofed with a thinnish jacket and have spent pretty much all of this week with a violent cough and a horrible throat and cold...Other than that, I wouldnt regret the wait!\n\nBtw, ask to shake his hand! Though he may not stick it out first, he'll gladly oblige. \n\nHave fun. And if you're looking for line updates, you might find them coming in here: http://macca.devstars.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=56294\n\nHave fun! Oh and take a camera! The Virgin store in NY was ridiculously lax about letting us take pictures of Paul (though not with him obviously) and I really regretted not having mine.
