Jaco does look funny, but then again, how does Bootsy not look funny?

I may bring back my Bootsy avatar when I get tired of my "Steve Howe putting on his game face" avatar.

Why is Jaco being written about in the present tense? This confuses me...

Booboo, you're right that Jaco does win on the stated criteria. Like I said, I voted before reading the thread (as the voting option came up first).
