Bill,
Sounds like your overworked and underpaid like the rest of us ... thanks for the compliment.

Rian,
An interesting image ... shark fin waves and a killer whale ... the heart for your g/f (good friend?, god-father?, grand-father?, girl friend? ) looks promising.

Mike and Derek,
Nice Orb work

Steve,

John,
That avatar suits you

Jared,
I worry about someone who finds a piston pump sexy
