Isn't "tucan" supposed to be spelled "toucan"?

My first custom ranking was "Future Seattleite, Future Buick Rainier Owner".

This stems from my goal of living in Seattle, which I frequently post about. Also, my dream car at the time was the 2007 Buick Rainier, which is being replaced by the Buick Enclave next year.

Maybe I will make mine read, "Got to the top of the Pecking Order." That seems appropriate with all the bird stuff. ;-)

Custom Rank is an option, some people have several thousand posts but they still have "Phoenix/Veteran"
above their avatars.
