Dr. Bob,
I just thought I'd pop over here to admin to mention that I find the photo of you disturbing. It makes me uncomfortable.
Thanks
ShortE

I much prefer the previous photo where you were smiling. It gave me a happier, lighter feeling about babble. Funny how the mind is affected so strongly by visual images...

Yeah, ShortE, majority who've posted so far seem to generally agree. See:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20050716/msgs/530008.html
I wonder if I was rude, criticizing it so strongly (sorry Dr. B, if I was...)..but really, it IS disturbingly dark and...{shudder}
It really is :-(

Isn't the graphic behind him something you'd see in an elementary school room?

It looks like backwards letters. Maybe the picture is Bob in some kind of curved reflective surface (spoon?) His face is distorted somehow, as if being reflected in a curved plane. What do you think?

I say it's reflected off a coffee pot in a commissary-type room. It looks really like there has been some serious thinking going on to make his head so enlongated. I would rather see some more buildings.

>Well, let's start guessing and see if he tells us. hehehe :-)
The sign is obviosly "__rry..." I'm guessing it says "Merry". Then again, you can see the begining of the sign right on the bottom corner of the right side of his neck. I don't know if an 'M' and 'e' would fit there. hmmmm... The designs around the sign are festive, but they don't look christmassy or I'd guess it said "Merry Christmas".
What word do you all think it spells? :-D

Now I *HAVE* to know what that little sign in the background is!
This is torturing me, I'm not kidding.
Please tell us what it is/says Dr. Bob, or just tell me because I think I'm losing it...not kidding.

Huh... I didn't see any letters in it, I thought I saw two figures in robes of some sort, like a child's drawing of the nativity or something similar...
{shrug} I sure hope that doesn't somehow reflect our mental processes... Maybe this is a modern day Rorhshak? (sp)

> ggI had actually thought that too. But then I took a closer look at the lettering and it looks like two r's to me. The shapes are too similar and the letter that would be a 't' in 'party' doesn't have that thing (or whatever the heck you call it!) sticking up to make it look like a cross.
He better tell us now! It's going to drive me batty if I don't find out. I just can't figure out for the life of me what the word would be with that festive background in blue, red, and yellow. Argh!!!!
Ok...time to go to bed or I'll end up staying up all night obsessing about this. :-P

I really think it's part of the word "merry" on a homemade Christmas sign-I think someone drew a string of lights going around

The dark area on the top looks like a lid--- a view from inside Pandora's box.

No--he's peeking in. The camera is in the box. Maybe that's where he keeps blocked posters.

Ohhh!! Is he checking on them then? Perhaps it's a sort of purgatory for the "uncivil"

And as a loyal poster I thought it was my responsibility to tell you.
Like when you have a really good friend and their fly is down.
Like that.
Kinda.
