Andy Pettitte tipped his cap today in a bittersweet farewell to Brewsters-Millions. After less than a year as Frank’s logo, Pettitte has stepped down – some say was forced to step down –amidst allegations of Human Growth Hormone use and unsatisfactory performance of his logo duties. He has been Frank’s logo for innumerable witty comments and such posts as ‘Obama Mia,’ ‘Haiku contest,’ ‘Mr. Frank does not go to Washington’ and the controversial ‘What’s the Story,’ movie title contest. Many speculate that it was the failure of that last post that made Andy's departure inevitable.
Choking back tears, Pettitte said, “It’s not personal, it’s what’s best for me and I think for Frank too. Was I a scapegoat? Who knows? Maybe I was. But, I don’t have any hard feelings. It’s just too bad for everybody involved – especially the kids on the site– that things ended on these terms.” Pettitte countered the notion that the quality of his work was lacking: “I feel like I did a lot of good things here, you know, and I sure as heck worked my butt off. Yeah, it's a tough decision. But I keep telling myself there are other blogs out there with other damned handsome users who kind of look like me and need a logo.” The downcast Pettitte said he would not look for another blog right away explaining that he needs time to clear his head after such a demanding year.
In a second stunning announcement, Frank says that he is soliciting his fellow bloggers for new logo suggestions and will select and use the best entry. “That's right, folks. Give me your ideas, celebrity or otherwise. You don't have to have a picture, just a name or description will do. It also helps to have a dream and a whole lot of guts." Beyond the practical benefit to his user profile, Frank sees a bigger goal as well. "I hope this process will foster a renewed sense of communal responsibility and committment to multilateral discourse in our small corner of the blogosphere. I say to all of BMills, let's work together. Let the people be heard!”

Sad news indeed.
But looking forward, my first thought is Eric Estrada.
I think you should use this unfortunate turn of events to to enhance your profile with a little more gavitas. Since I cannot include a picture in "comments" I will post my suggestion.
Yours in all seriousness,
The Captain
Jack and I mourn your departure. Ahh...all good things must come to an end.
No Siree! Time to ditch that ditty and go forward. Jack has more to say..which you will see shortly.
(Captain; did you mean "gravitas"?)
If not, "que es eso the gavitas?"
Scott Baio!
