OK: here's my challenge: all of the top posting yaks ought to post pictures to their SQLTeam member profiles! Maybe we can talk graz into ponying up a SQLTeam t-shirt for the best photo?

Here are some of my very biased comments on the photos (or lack thereof) for the top dogs:

robvolk - nice Dilbert impression!

Merkin - wish I was on stage with you

AjarnMark - looks like you are ready for judo

nr - no photo! (but I figure that a Master Smack Fu Cursor Smasher might resemble Kane from Kung Fu? (maybe he belongs to AjarnMark's judo dojo)

JustinBigelow - no photo! (I expected more from a SQL gigolo -- do you have a pimp hat?)

graz - no photo! (perhaps you could post one of you in one of your Halloween costumes -- or maybe not!)

izaltsman - no photo! (doesn't everybody in Mass. look like the guy on the Groton's fish box?)

mfemenel - no photo! (methinks perhaps he is a relative of Forest Gump?)

Nazim - no photo! (what do folks from the UAE look like?)

Judo? JUDO?!?! I'm disappointed in you Spyder. You didn't look at the rest of my profile very carefully. Judo is only a small part of what I do. All in the name of taming the code, of course.

Hey graz; looks like you are the REAL SQL Gigolo (or did you just steal Justin's hat?)

Lovely photo, Nigel. I believe it is now quite safe for you to cancel your membership in the Hair Club for Men.

There was a report recently which said that hairy men are more intelligent.

That's the "Bronze Horseman" -- a statue of the Russian emperor Peter the Great in St.Petersburg, Russia.

Very interesting... at my previous job I worked with a guy who was from St. Petersburg -- I'm starting to wonder if there is something about that city that produces good SQL Server people!

Well, actually that statue explains it all... You can't really tell due to the camera angle of the photo, but the emperor's outstretched hand is in fact reaching for a copy of "Inside SQL Server 1703" ...

Really! I though it looked more like an early version of Ken Henderson's book!

Would that be the Guru's Guide to Stone Tablets? Or maybe the Guru's guide to Papyrus? Or probably the Guru's Guide to Stacks and Stacks of Paper
