This thread reminded me of Robin Williams for some reason:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '"')Tony Blair. Militant liberal, George W. Bush. compassionate conservative...I don't know what that is, sounds like a Volvo with a gun rack, but I don't care! "

I don't think looking down someone's throat is very appealing, whether it's technically indecent or not.

Avatars Are Very Energy Intensive

Perhaps that is the reason they have disappeared.

I can't think of any other explanation.

Maybe that's the canary in the mineshaft.

They aren't disabled. There are a few minor changes/fixes in the works. Stand by.

Hey guys, don't forget to keep this up to date.
I am sure there are a lot of interesting stories for where and why you got your avatars.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Micki', 'M')y first one; Image
"Bush doing a heil" avatar was an expression of frustration of the mess we got ourselves into and my belief that US is turning into a fascist state and that there is an agenda to introduce NWO.

Next one Image
is both a wish that someone would intervene as well as hope that things will change (hopefully for the better).

The Crabwood alien is actually a crop circle that looks lie a photo and it came with a binary message (my footer text). This one is so fascinating in that it is so complex that it can hardly be a hoax. Yet the binary message contains silly typos etc and with that Spielberg styled face, one would assume it is a hoax. And why a message in binary ascii translating into english!?

Image
The Bernanke avatar is a pic from the day they were "saving" the economy by lowring interest with .5%. A picture however tells a thousand words and they are a lot less BS than what comes from the Fed Reserves mouth.

Image
As the mess was a reality and we start getting signals that real panic is days to months away, I thought it was time to update the avatar. (And some other forum posters for some reasons didn't seem to like my Bernanke)



I didn't stay with the Southpark one for very long.
Someone posted the intro to Bowie's Dimond Dogs and I got inspired. Thought of somthing like a hellhound set in a suburban environment. The text from Pet Shop Boys Suburbia suited quite well as signature;
Lets take a ride, and run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
You cant hide, run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia

There are a lot of cool dogs out there. I will probably rotate a few different ones;

The second dog is by the way not from resident evil.
His name is (or was) Sam and he won the title ugliest dog in the world, ever.
In memory of Sam;

Man you musta been bored Micki to dredge this thread up... :lol: :lol:

Anyway that reminds me... WTF is up nowadays with the hard-on for ugly-@ss dogs? When I was growin' up dogs were good lookin' animals...

Finally, here's a larger version of my av on a white background (except mine doesn't have the 'Dig' watermark). Still like the artwork...

If so, that'd make it quite ironic then.

It's not a picture of a person, only a general shape of a man in prostration. So I don't think so.

A few quotes from "Ash" can sum up things for me...

Ash: Now listen up, you primitive screwheads. This... is my BOOMstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel... and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. YOU GOT THAT?!

Arthur: Are all men from the future loud-mouth braggarts?
Ash: Nope. Just me, baby... Just me.

And finally.

Ash: Maybe, just maybe, my boys can pull this off. Yeah, and maybe I'm a Chinese jet pilot.

:lol:
