Heh... had to stick with the "No RBAR" theme, somehow and still do the Star Wars thingy... changed part of the sig, too! 😉

Nice, the death-star-head-butt-of-death.

err, in case ur wondering, that almost indistinguishable-from-a-fur-ball pile of fur is an ewok... peer pressure.

Noted a strong theme among the high posters that everyones shifted to a Star Wars Avatar...
It even affects How people post, what with the Yoda grammer.
i broke down and changed my avatar as well...so am i an outcast or part of the club now?

Definitely an outcast - that's Trinny of "Trinny & Suzanna". The nearest they've been to a Death Star is Festival Place, Basingstoke.

I didn't want to be obvious and choose Darth Maul or something; obscurity is good sometimes.

how about we go with Bill and Teds Excellent Adventures? I could dig an avatar named Evil Robot Ted or something...that Evil thing has a ring to it....

Man, I hope that's a light sabre he has in his hand... 😉

--Jeff Moden

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Back when they had the bubblegum and collectible cards, that baby ewok was one of the hardest to find. Think I still might have it somewhere.

I don't know, it's tough to say what with RBAR holding out.

I love the new animated gif for RBAR. Two thumbs up from me!

I never noticed that. I'll take Chewbacca if no one else has him.

I think "chewie" is up for grabs....

I've given up Boba Fett, so he's available.... which sounds weird.
