Okay...I know this is silly...but really...The OLD winkie guy was so much cooler than the new one. The new one looks like it had a stroke or something. What are your thoughts??

I liked the old one better, too. You're right about that stroke thing.

Old Winkie, Old Winkie!! :thumbup: How do you start a petition anyway?! Not that I plan to get all political here.

Making the little guy hit the unemployment line wouldn't really be necessary, would it? He could just get a different code, like wink2 or something.

Though if he got the boot, he could hang out in the unemployment thread.

Oh my word, yes. Old Winky had an incredulous look on his face. He didn't even look like he was winking, more like squinting one eye skeptically, and that was why I liked him.

You know if I had any inclination how to achieve this goal I would, but that RED button scares the hell out of me.

Ceremoniously signs again for free drink.:thumbsup:
