The avatar challenge

I know this is a long-term promise, but if Jesse Ryder ever ends up playing cricket for England, I will change my avatar to that gibbon he has as his picture on Facebook (very apt for the lack of intellect that Jesse seems to have)

I think it more likely that he will end up on American Idol doing a cover version of "Jessie" by Joshua Kadison than him ever playing for England.

Hopefully he'll change the lyrics somewhat too,

"Jesse, paint a picture, bout what a tosser you've become..."

I'm confused. You want to be Jesse Ryder's girl (in which case get on Facebook and add him) or you want to be the girl of the girl "Jessie" from the Joshua Kadison song?
Jesse's Girl by Rick Springfield is quite a well known song. I was referring to that.

Never heard of it, TBH.

And this genuinely wasn't in jest.
Jessie is a friend, yeah, I know he's been a good friend of mine
But lately something's changed that ain't hard to define
Jessie's got himself a girl and I want to make her mine

And she's watching him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it
Yeah 'n' he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

You know, I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that

I play along with the charade, there doesn't seem to be a reason to change
You know, I feel so dirty when they start talking cute
I wanna tell her that I love her, but the point is probably mute

'Cos she's watching him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

Like Jessie's girl, I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman, where can I find a woman like that

And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the time, wondering what she don't see in me
I've been funny, I've been cool with the lines
Ain't that the way love supposed to be

Tell me, where can I find a woman like that

You know, I wish that I had Jessie's girl, I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want Jessie's girl, where can I find a woman like that, like
Jessie's girl, I wish that I had Jessie's girl, I want, I want Jessie's girl

I wud love to suggest another avatar but the one u have looks bad enough. ;) :D



But I won't mind GW Bush in there........ If u throw in the line "Supporting GW Bush, the greatest cricketer ever" in ur sig, that will be awesome. :D



Seriously, juz an avatar of GW would do.
