Hoffa was the powerful and controversial leader of the Teamsters Union from 1957 to 1971. Often alleged to have ties to organized crime, Hoffa was finally convicted of fraud and jury tampering in 1964 and served four years in prison before his sentence was commuted by President Nixon. In 1975, while trying to regain power in the union, Hoffa disappeared from a restaurant parking lot in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He was widely assumed to have been killed by the Mafia. His body was never found, and in 1983 he was declared legally dead. In September of 2001, news reports claimed that DNA tests by the FBI had tied Hoffa to a car driven by his associate Charles O'Brien the day Hoffa disappeared -- suggesting that charges might still be brought in the case.
Basically he was a very strong leader, during the time that the U.S. and Detroit really got into the auto industry. Unfortunately he kinda got mixed up doing deals with the mafia and he has never been found.  |

Cool man. Interesting story  . Mine is just Spiderwoman as depicted in late 70's, the best Marvel era, in my own opinion. I'm glad that people is voting for her, she is very beautiful |

yeah. I liked your spiderwoman avatar, so i put it on the original list.
If i would have known hard rock was getting Barney, i either wouldn't have voted for him or i would have made sure he wins. I can't decide which extreme would be most appropriate.
I like Dav's avatar though.

Heh - Post 600  Let's wait until I reach # 666... Will my computer explode? Will this forum go to hell  Anyhow... About avatars... It'd be cool that you could have more than one avatar and choose which one to include in each post. |

Hmm... I notice that Na_th_an and Jocke are in the lead. Mabye, if i remove those two from the polls i will increase my chance of winning this avatar contest, and from there take over the Qbasic -world. After all i do have an invincible Avatar. *Evil Laugh* :evil:
Wait, i just realized this avatar thing means nothing and no matter how hard i try i'll just end up like the rabbit in the trix commercials: sad and hungry.
Well maybe next time Jocke and Na_th_an
Insert Evil Laugh Here :evil:

You can use the BWAHAHAHAHA that you can hear when you finish Jill the Goddess as your evil laugh. The sound clip was done by my flat pal's brother and he looked very evil :S
