Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Since you asked, I think the various Jesus fish variants have jumped the shark. They were clever for a couple of years, but at this point they're roughly equivalent to a decal of Calvin pissing on something.

And while we're at it, can we stop with the colored ribbon magnets, please.

But hey, at least it's not a "bad boy fire department" logo

I agree, but I did see a truck the other day with a sticker of Calvin peeing in a toilet. I thought it was pretty hilarious.

Looks like it's time to get a new avatar! I'll have you know that I am also a firefighter though, and I don't have any calvin stickers! or bad boy stickers on my car, just a Share the Road sticker.

Give us a full size and we'll be happy to critique it for you. A 'Damocles1-esque' photo wouldn't hurt either.

I would like to think that an avatar is most successful when it is seen with the person's post... sometimes, merlinextraligh might post something that would make the avatar seem appropriate while the post is read. However, FLAK's avatar is 'perfect' regardless of whatever he/she posts about... It works ALL the time.

+1 vote for FLAK:

I'm not sure I want a full critique. I don't think I can handle the snarkiness.
