1. Yeah, it's like we've all been assimilated or something.
It's the Conyersborg. Resistance is futile. :7

6. I did it for Midori
When she asks a favor, I do not refuse. She is like my sister.

And being that I am the least-groupthinkiest person on DU, the fact I have his avatar is saying something. :D

20. Oh, I understand the sentiment.
John Conyers is my fucking hero right now. :)

And besides, you cannot disobey Midori, eh? It's just that I have this habit of looking at someone's avatar to see who they are. I should read people's names, instead, but my eye goes to the avatar.

Right now, John Conyers is a very prolific writer on DU. :D

5. You put your finger right on it, ZW!
I knew something was bothering me, and that's IT! Not that I have ANYTHING against Mr. Conyers--hell no, of course not--but it does make us less individual. A certain sameness has crept over the Lounge, and I suspect, the whole of DU...

Ah well, this too shall pass...

:shrug:

9. See post #6
I am temporarily suspending my extreme independence for this one time. Besides, anyone who reads my posts in GD or LBN won't mistake me for anyone else. I dare to dissent where others fear... bwhahahaaa *evil laughter filling huge marbled hallway*

10. My solidarity is only for today
I will change sometime tomorrow,
I thought it was OK for one day

It doesn't take much to change back.

but it is confusing, because i do look at the avatars for reference on scrolling

11. It is a little mind boggling.
But I've had Conyers as my avatar for quite some time, so I'll keep him (if he'll have me). He's the closest thing I've ever had to a hero, clay feet and all.

13. I didn't realize that it was just for one day...
That's certainly NO problem...even for me! I'm with you on using the avatars for reference when I'm scrolling. It's harder to identify someone when that person has the same one as the poster above and/or below!

17. I don't know if was for one day I thought it was implied


but yes, totally agree it's confusing for me on scrolling.
To me, its like a school Friday kind of thing, wearing the schools colors
not an everyday thing.

I support the man, but I like and enjoy the individuality of our site.

18. I change avatars more frequently than freeps change undies
So in a day or two I will be back to Zappa, or the CA flag, or something else. :-)

19. I was just posting what a great idea this was when I realized...
SHIT. By sporting a Conyers avatar I may have already cursed the effort. I'm really sorry, everyone, I have to go change my graphic now.
