I hope lampooning yourself wasn't injurious to you. Yes, 744a3 was too subtle. Your trophy looked like a toilet with my username (silly@well.com) on it. Or so I thought. Silly me.

I absolutely loved EHO's portrait of a man with a triumphant mouse's new head growing from his back. The concept is reminiscent of New Yorker cartoonist Chas. Adams.
