What happened to The Avon Lady.....'s avatar?

Abraham · 11-10-05, 01:28 AM

Where has that tough kevlar helmeted steel eyed Sabra (= slang for Israeli-born Jew) gone? I suddenly see a young shy friendly girl, that seems to have enlisted as a 'Kriegshilffreiwillige' (war aid voluntary) . Although far too young to fit the caption: "Ãœber mom", the cap seems to match the language...

I think you have some explaining to do, TAV. Or did Neal harress you(r avatar)?

Another important point is: will this new avatar affect her postings?
We all know that our authority on this forum is directly related to our avatar and rank. One word of an Admiral carries more weight than a long posting from a Medic. Ever seen a Bilge Rat convince a Sea Lord? Haven't we all be scared to death by the tough look of those old salts?
So what will happen to the postings of The Avon Lady? Will this sweet little girl get soft on Muslim extremism, will she continue to throw her links around like lightning flashes? Will we still take her serious if she does? Or will we say: "Here's a hot chocolate and a lolly for you and go to bed early (after brushing your teeth)"?

Figure out who is pictured in the avatar and most of your questions will be answered.

Now, you're gonna lose a lotta sleep.

EDIT: ..... but if you don't, don't forget to brush your teeth.

Now I'm gonna lose some sleep...

Any history buff out there who can help me solving The Avon Lady's riddle?
Is it Eva Braun or Anne Frank...?

Lady, you sure looked sweet in the 1950-ies :P

Abraham · 11-10-05, 03:47 AM

Ah, ich weiss schon, das gnÃ¤dige Fraulein A. von Vonnegut I, vielleicht? (Ah, I got it, the Honorable Miss A. of Ofgood I, perhaps?)

Wrong and wrong again.

I guess I know, the famous Jewish undercover agent who was dropped with a team of Jewish agents by the Brits to try and save Hungarian Jewry in the period before the Germans took over fromal controll of the country. I think her name was Shemesh or something, I think Naomi Shemesh. She ended being shot by the Gestapo, her mission failed, but some of her male companions survived. I can't find the book I need at the moment, so it's a guess. A movie was made about her several years ago, starring a Dutch actress...

Bingo! Very good!

Hannah Szenes.

Don't forget to brush your teeth. :rotfl:

Elementary Israeli history, my dear!

By the way, on another recent thread

"Gee"! Your new avatar starts to work already.

In the early days a kubbutz was a place that made boys into men (and girls too...) Only after September 1970 life turned soft and things went downhill. That's what our hippy-politicians experienced...
