Well there you go! Mystery solved! Fruit in the nostril. Must have been a LOT of rum involved
In honor of you and with respect to your deformities

, I feel inclined to make a new avatar when I return to STT/STJ in 13 days. I vow to, after partaking in copious amounts of rum, carefully place a cherry in EACH of my nostrils (while looking cross-eyed down at them) with a STJ donkey HAIR on my lip. TAKE THAT!!
I can feel the suspense waiting for the photo...

Bevm - Your avatar. What do you have going on with your eyes and what looks to be a spoon (?) on your nose and/or your tongue sticking out? Is that it? It's buggin' me to figure it out, and won't I feel like a complete tool if you say your face is disfigured somehow?

I'm sorry if you find my avatar offensive. I was born with a few birth defects. Crossed eyes, being one of them. And I have a Harelip. That day I decided to make light of my deformity and put a cherry in my nostril to hide my embarrassment and shame, and for just one moment to feel like a normal, fun person. It was wonderful and so freeing. I love that picture.
Thank you Bev for clearing that up! WE ALL LOVE YA BABE....group hug

Bev's my wife, and I've grown to love that crooked little smile, and the drooling no longer bothers me. Her crossed eyes are adorable even if she occasionally runs in to things..I just steer her in the right direction.

I PM'd this to LandLockedBeachLover:
Actually, we were staying at Waterfall villa and I was getting trashed. I went in to re-fill my drink and when I opened the fridge I noticed the previous guests left a jar of maraschino cherries. Always the "Class Clown" and looking for a laugh, I shoved one up my nose and walked outside. Everyone cracked up and they took that dumb-ass picture. It's just so dorky and silly like I am that I used it for my avatar..True story.
Love you too, Deedee! Supersize me!
bevm just curious
