I personally didn't mind the icon switch on Tuesday. It would be very simple to replace the table which keeps track of who is associated with what icon with one that points everyone to the same icon. A simple "hack", if you know what you're doing. We should be greatful that the icon chosen was about a pokeman, since it could have been an animated gif of somethign crude, gross, or disgusting.

What I did mind is that I vaugely remember a similar sounding word for an occidental girl that preferred her men like coffee-Strong and black. It isn't a very nice word, and in the context of the "mudkip" question, it's very crass. Eh, maybe it's best that that word has wandered out of the common vernacular.

BTW, if you didn't, search for art with the word "mudkip." (Open another window first!) I found 543 entries, with nearly 120 being from April first! The pictures ranged from the violent to the somewhat smexy. Yes, there is an odd scariness in a mudkip being "sexy".
