Update someone ELSE's status...

[Fpoonsie]

It could be something tame like: CosmicCowboy is flippin back and forth between the Outdoor Channel and the Food Network.

Or something more a propos like: CosmicCowboy is furiously flickin his bean watching the rednecks on his monstrous LCD gut a bass.

There was actually a ST contest once where the winner (or winners, I forget) got to change someone else's status. This was back before people had the ability to change their own status so it was pretty funny.
