It's time to make a serious, and very sad choice.
Yes. I mean it. Is it time to change my forum icon?
We all know and love the ottoman humping dudes. (well, except for those people who installed adblock just because they couldn't handle the awesomeness of the ottoman humping dudes). But the ottoman humping dudes may be old; stale, even.
Replacement option #1:

Yes, that's Speedy Gonzales posing with Steve-o. The only thing that could make this picture better would be if Steve-o were vomiting, or if Speedy were kicking him in the nuts. Maybe both!
Still, as it is, it's a totally surreal photo that's stolen my heart. I love you Steve-o! Now dude a nude backflip as a tribute to the civil-rights pioneer Speedy Gonzales!
Replacement option #2:

Sacrilegious, obscure, and it features a cute dog. What more could you want?
It scores points for simplicity and humor. But lacks the oomph of a dude humping an ottoman. Still, it's a contender.
What do you think, sirs?

While I do think the Steve-O pic is the better choice I'm forced to wonder if you've truly considered all your options.
May I present alternatives 3 and 4:
(Option 5 is for Bren)
The other road you should really investigate is hiring Sapph. She has a flair for finding avatars. She's responsible for mine :P

Enough of your computer voodoo, Raps!
No really, I thought if I did it that way, the boys would stop humping and I'd just get a still, funny picture. :p

Its an animated gif. You have to open it with the right program.
Protip: If you set it as your windows background and "tile" it you will never be the same again.

This.
Not all image viewing programs will display animated .gif images properly. Some will only display the single frame that you anticipated. Some (like your web browser, which is hopefully FireFox) will show you the animation.

Of the two Speedy and Steve-O
But not a perfect replacement for your current one. Might need some more options.

I vote for Speedy and Steve-o because of his NO FUR shirt. I KNOW it's probably in the sense of NO FUR COATS no fur, but since he's standing next to a guy in a fursuit....
I like your avatar, Aro. It speaks truth.

It isn't the easiest site to navigate and I had never heard of it before this morning's google search so I can't vouch for it in any way :P
