The sig's fine. Don't you think the avatar's a bit obsessive?

It's an amalgam of "but yeah you need a avatar" and "out of the mouth of babes and sucklings", given the size of your collection.

I have to be a paying member to use one of my 'collection' and the available avatars for non-paying members is a bit stale to my jaded taste. Any chance some new ones might be added?

Yeah it can be taken as offensive especially by those with mental disorders but then there are also those who have the disorders and know you have to laugh about it or else it gets too heavy. It may not be PC but damn Sam! Does everything have to be? :thinking:

I agree Jimbo. It's good to think of others and some things do go too far (I don't think Snooze's sig is one) but I really believe you have to be able to laugh at this stuff. For me as being bipolar, I recognize the humor in it. :)

I think its a great play on words and makes people think, which is exactly what the slogan was intended to do lol...Its funny and completely unoffensive.
