Avatars

[hooloovoo24]

awww. You can't possibly be worse than me, if that's any consolation.

[Mr Initial Man]

Trust me, I stink at drawing.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

congrats mel for post #2000

i tried putting my new avatar (http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=8b20d6757b564865f5142b3c204173cc) but 80x80 is too big, and it looked like crap resized to 50x50..looks like i'm keeping this one..

[Ben Rogers]

MIM, how many times have you had to say that it isn't your drawing? You need a running count here. Maybe just times you've told Fuzzy it isn't yours? That's gotta be, what, like 38, by now? :p

[Mr Initial Man]

No, you're exaggerating. It's only been 9 3/4 times. :D

[Mr Initial Man]

By the way, did anyone get the reference there?

[David Harrison]

Yes.

Edit: Though it was a pretty random time to reference it.

[Mr Initial Man]

Well, I was replying to Ben asking me how often I'd commented about the lynx not being my drawing, so it wasn't all THAT random.

Mind you, I'm the webmaster of a comic strip called "Coach Random", so what did you expect?

[Ubik]

Your mom should have used:

http://www.griffinoutpost.com/bob.asp

[Mr Initial Man]

Heh... Poor Mstr Bob is getting potshots at him from every direction.

[MstrBob]

Are you making fun of a Supermod? :( :cool:

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

looks so, ban him!

[David Harrison]

Bob - What a crap name. (Well, at least it's not 'Robert'.)

Robert - That is a wonderful name. I think you should use it. (Well, at least it's not 'Bob'.)

Riiiiight.

[dera]

i like mstrbobs avatar

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

i like mstrbobs avatar
who doesn't?

[Mr Initial Man]

Someone who doesn't like goofy-looking birds?

EDIT: New Avatar! One I made myself!

[Sunny G]

Someone who doesn't like goofy-looking birds?
EDIT: New Avatar! One I made myself!

Who doesn't like goofy-looking birds?:p Behold! Zorro duck!

[Mr Initial Man]

Who doesn't like goofy-looking birds?:p Behold! Zorro duck!

HEHEHEHEHEHEHE! I love it! It's so cute! But wouldn't Zorro Duck have a sword?

[Sunny G]

But wouldn't Zorro Duck have a sword?

I was experimenting with lightsabers a bit, but the image I made looked crummy and looked worse when it was resized to 50x50. Maybe I should try again...

[Mr Initial Man]

Well, what I did with my avatar was start out with a 50X50 image in Paint.

[Mr Initial Man]

*Tries to give aging thread CPR.* C'mon, don't die on me!

Question: Which of your avatars was your favorite? Me, it was the lynx that Alexis Raminowicz drew for me, that I had for ages.

[Thistle1963]

i really like the one i have now. :p

[Mr Initial Man]

What's it from?

[Ben Rogers]

I can't think of the purpose of changing my avatar anymore...I haven't posted anything useful in months...

[Mr Initial Man]

Yeah, you're too busy *****ing about Canadians to come here. :p

[Ben Rogers]

Heh. No, I just have no ideas for webdev projects, and thus no interest in webdev. I might if I could listen to some damn music on my computer, but noo, soundcard has to make Trent Reznor mumble at me. And who wants angst queens mumbling at them? :D

Gotta call that guy up tomorrow. If he comes through, maybe I'll come back and finally hit my 3k. As for my excuse for the last x months...um, cancer hurricanes.

[Mr Initial Man]

If you want angst, here's some Green Day for you...


o/` Do you have the time o/`
o/` To listen to me whine o/`
o/` Of everything and nothing all at once? o/`
o/` I am one of those o/`
o/` Melodramatic fools o/`
o/` Neurotic to the bone no doubt about it o/`

:D

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

For ben:
http://thevoicetv.no/images/Green-Day_web.jpg

[Ben Rogers]

Green Day is not angst, Green Day is too mainstream to be angst.

[MstrBob]

Green Day is not angst, Green Day is too mainstream to be angst.

Ahh yes, the always prevalent attack of:

X is popular, therefore X sucks

:rolleyes: :p

[Ben Rogers]

Heh, hell yeah. Not that you're one to be talking.

And if a band does become popular enough to get played on the radio, only their mediocre trend-following songs get played (I've never heard Negative Creep or the techno remix of Star****ers on radio, have you?)

[Mr Initial Man]

Angst: An excuse for whining incessantly; a supposed reason for moping, an alleged cause for hatred of the world.

See Emo

[Ben Rogers]

Angst, n.:an acute but unspecific feeling of anxiety; usually reserved for philosophical anxiety about the world or about personal freedom -- http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=angst

I could make quite a lengthy argument about my own opinion of the validity of angst, and the truths of it, but I'd prefer not to make myself sound so, well, angsty.

[Mr Initial Man]

Hey, you tweak my nose enough for being Canadian, now it's my turn to tweak yours.

[Ben Rogers]

Tweak my nose for what? If you were tweaking it for being American, I could understand, but I'm not even angsty, or emo. I barely even HAVE bangs, and I can fit my hands into my pockets! :p

[Mr Initial Man]

However, you do listen to crap musicians like Trent Reznor. Sounds like a screw's pretty loose in there.

[David Harrison]

I'm giving semi-serious thought to banning MIM for trashing quite a lot of music that I like, maybe I should start a poll...

[Ben Rogers]

MIM...you're doing a rather good job of "tweaking my nose," bastard...

[Mr Initial Man]

What, Dave? Am I supposed to simply let Ben trash a country like that? No, I don't like 9 inch Nails. I like Mighty Mighty Bosstones. I'm quite a bit into the ska scene, myself.

[David Harrison]

Am I supposed to simply let Ben trash a country like that?Sure, why not?

I mean, it's only Canada. ;)

[Mr Initial Man]

Merf. Merf, I say.

[David Harrison]

"What the hell?" I wonder.

[Mr Initial Man]

"Merf" is a word common in the fandom I'm in. It has a similar meaning to "hmph".

[Jick]

*Looks at thread*
*Lowers head in disappointment*
*Reaches for "Close Thread" button*
*Click*
*Looks around to see if anyone noticed*

I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice how off-topic this thread has gotten recently. Yes, I'm aware it has always been somewhat off-topic but lately it's gotten worse. I think the little guy is gonna burst if he tries consuming anymore off-topic posts. :(

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

jick you simply can't do that!
change your avatar and we'll talk about it

AVATAR!

[Jick]

Change my avatar?! Are you nuts?! I've had lil' Kenny since the beginning... Too much history there... *sniff* :p

[Mr Initial Man]

And here, I've been changing avatars on a semi-regular basis. I think my fave is still the one Alexis drew me. Or, if anyone remembers, my "Insert Lynx" avatar.

And, um... what do you mean, little? This thing has nearly 2050 posts! Some of which actually have to do with avatars!

[David Harrison]

My avatar would pwn yours in a fight.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

tiger rocks..although the EMU would totally desintegrate it in a fight :p

[David Harrison]

What would it do? Peck at the Tiger's teeth?

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

the emu's fight techniques are long lost secrects..we don't know what the emu will do..

[David Harrison]

Well I'd suggest he goes looking for those secrets, 'cause this Tiger's about to pounce on him.

[Mr Initial Man]

Awwww, the little tiger's coming out to play. Would a fuzzy wuzzy tigey like some milk?

:D

[Ben Rogers]

the emu's fight techniques are long lost secrects..we don't know what the emu will do..We don't know because noone's ever survived to tell of the emu's great fight.Awwww, the little tiger's coming out to play. Would a fuzzy wuzzy tigey like some milk?

:DHush, you, tigers are badass. Only good thing about my school is that our mascot's a tiger, and our colours are orange+black.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

Only good thing about my school
your kindergarten? :p

[Sunny G]

Aaaaaaaand whose avatar has an axe?

[Ben Rogers]

CLEVER, fuzz.

Sorry, Sunny. I don't mean to be mean to you, but as long as you have that avvy, it's mandatory to at least consider mocking you. Cartoon ducks are teh llama, and Hobbes is the only good cartoon tiger.

Actually (no offense MIM) but animated animals are largely lame all together.

[Mr Initial Man]

Lame? Excuse me, Ben, I can walk perfectly well.

[David Harrison]

Cartoon ducks are teh llamaLlama (http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=llama&hl=en&btnG=Search+Images)? (I'm somewhat concerned by this (http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.fritriac.de/looky/alien_llama_mutilation.jpg&imgrefurl=http://ars.userfriendly.org/users/read.cgi%3Fid%3D8652%26tid%3D87722&h=640&w=640&sz=69&tbnid=PtrKPsQJTqh9RM:&tbnh=135&tbnw=135&hl=en&start=6&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dllama%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DG) one.)

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

hehehe

[Sunny G]

To be honest I have considered changing my avatar in favor of a Project GeeKeR theme.
Say hi to Mr. Moloch

[David Harrison]

Is that guy a where-duck or something?

[Sunny G]

Scroll down to read about Mr. Moloch
http://www.sepwich.com/ssntails/gkr/bios.htm

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

Is that guy a where-duck or something?
hahaha!


question: wouldn't it be were-duck?

[David Harrison]

Well where-duck has the correct pronunciation I thought.

[Mr Initial Man]

Wereduck. "Were" should rhyme with "deer"

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

isnt it like wear-duck?

[Ben Rogers]

No, I think Dave's right. BTW, I am officially teh llama. Just for irony, I'm allowed to use leet.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werewolf#Origins_and_variations_of_the_word

An alternative etymology looks to Old English weri (to wear) plus "wolf", thus bearing wearer of the wolf skin. :D

[David Harrison]

We were talking about where-ducks, not were-wolves. :p

But since we're on the subject of etymology (http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=363)...

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

but where and were, whatever, isn't it pronounced quite similarly?

[David Harrison]

No.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

hmm..is were pronounced like weeere?

[Sunny G]

No I don't think so... Were is pronounced like Wear and Where.

[David Harrison]

What the... no it's not.

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=were
were (wûr)

[Sunny G]

I meant the were in werewolf

[David Harrison]

Oh, that were, yeah.

[Sunny G]

Ya know, I think I'll dump this avatar 'cause it looks kinda mean and angry.
I'll use one of GeeKeR!

[David Harrison]

So rather than associate yourself with someone who is suave, "slick, and always immaculately dressed". You'd rather be associated with someone who is abnormal and has limited control over his talents?

Sure, OK.

[Ben Rogers]

Ptsch. Viva la llama!

[Sunny G]

You'd rather be associated with someone who is abnormal and has limited control over his talents?

That's just the description.... The real GeeKeR is a total goofball
Sunny = Goofball

[Sunny G]

Vida la llama loca.

[rhsunderground]

i'm back. time for new avatar. suggestions?

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

pic of your hairy feet?

[Ben Rogers]

Hm...Valentine's Rizz?

Damn medicine. I can't fall asleep, and it's your fault.

[Mr Initial Man]

A kitty! We never can have too many kitties!

[Ben Rogers]

The hell you talkin', boy?

[rhsunderground]

stewified.

[Mr Initial Man]

What the heck do you mean by "stewified"?

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

my little pet rabbit just told me it might be related with the cartoon 'family guy'..i'm not sure though he already lied to me, he does once in a while...

...

[rhsunderground]

bingo. http://images.google.com/images?q=stewie&num=100&hl=en&hs=nCP&lr=&safe=off&client=opera&rls=en&sa=N&tab=ii&oi=imagest

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

unsurprinsingly, i deleted my avatar

[juicemousezero]

Why'd you do that?

EDIT: Nevermind... after notcing the poll out there I think I may have figured it out. heh

[MstrBob]

LCF, you need a macho avatar... like this one:

[juicemousezero]

How about a Chuck Norris avatar? It doesn't get any manlier than that.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

no

[juicemousezero]

Just a suggestion.

[MstrBob]

You know LCF, you really need to get an avatar. If you don't get a replacement soon, I'll have to downgrade your coolness factor! :eek: :cool:

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

my coolness factor?

[rhsunderground]

my coolness factor?
it's a mod feature. if it gets below a certain level, we are alerted and a ban is considered.


btw - nice av.





edit: just in case you didn't catch it - i was joking.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

thanks

[David Harrison]

Oooh, way cool avatar, I love it. Reminds me of Salad Fingers and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

[juicemousezero]

Ha ha! Salad Fingers! Love him!

[Mr Initial Man]

Who the heck is Salad Fingers?

[MstrBob]

Come on, David Firth? Here, I link to them:

http://newgrounds.com/collection/saladfingers.html

I liked Salad Fingers better than Burnt Face Man.

[MstrBob]

it's a mod feature. if it gets below a certain level, we are alerted and a ban is considered.


btw - nice av.





edit: just in case you didn't catch it - i was joking.

You know, I was seriously just about to make the same joke. Maybe it really is a feature? o.O? :cool: Heh, You All Will Never Know! :p

[juicemousezero]

And who can forget that fun toon about the Milk Man?

.........................

[David Harrison]

Well, there are user notes that super moderators and admins can add to users, they seem not to be used though.

BFM man is great, Salad Fingers is just a bit weird.

[Ben Rogers]

LCF, it's still feminine, just now in a more "WWE" way.

It's the name. If it was LilCrazyFuzzy, lilcrazyfuzzy, or Lilcrazyfuzzy, it'd be okay. But the alternating capitalization makes you seem like a girl.

However, you did make Dave make an ass of himself by saying "way cool," and I applaud you for that. Hehe.

Oooh, way cool avatar, I love it. Reminds me of Salad Fingers and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

i might ask the almight admins to change it to LCF

--
but ben, you talk and talk..yet you don't know what's underneath the skirt of your ugly lama

[Ben Rogers]

That'd be a smart move.

Your other comment was just plain confusing. I'm circumcised.

[David Harrison]

Ben, I'd be careful, with my magical editing powers, I can make you say anything I want. ;)

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

that would leave obvious traces..wouldn't it?

[Ben Rogers]

Then I'll just have to say things you won't need to bother editing, won't I?

[MstrBob]

that would leave obvious traces..wouldn't it?

We only leave evidece when we feel like it. Like His Noodliness, our powers are far reaching and we can manipulate the evidence.

[Sunny G]

Just for kicks I put absolute nonsense in my profile. Ever do that?
New avatar! GeeKeR!

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

why garlic?

[Sunny G]

Why not garlic?

I'll be changing it from time to time- anything that starts with G.

[Mr Initial Man]

There's a line from Richard III that talks about "G" I can't recall it, though

[Cinderella]

Took me long enough, but I finally made one...

[Mr Initial Man]

Looks pretty!

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

you should make the "C" more visible, (maybe a bit of outter glowing)

[Cinderella]

I was going to shadow it. It was a boredom project. I'll get around to it next time I'm bored ;)
For now, I have 3 banner requests I fear I must fill.

[The Little Guy]

Mine is the best

[rhsunderground]

new av, designified by me. woo.

[Cinderella]

Looks like a snake.
Very nice!

[Mr Initial Man]

Very nice. :)

[rhsunderground]

in honor of this thread's old glory, i will post this here:

I'm confuzzled.

[David Harrison]

Heh, ouch. Bad luck Rizz.

[rhsunderground]

I'm confuzzled.
i was so close. i got 199 cleared and had to pick one or the other. unfortunately i picked the other :(

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

wow, never got that far!

[Cinderella]

Ouch.
People still play that game?
Wow. I'd drive myself close to insanity with it, and then give up because I couldn't see the point.

[Mr Initial Man]

Oh, I see. Yeah, it's a toughie. :-/

*Grins* I wish I had a picture of me with my tail. I've started wearing it regularily to college.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

that's not true

[Mr Initial Man]

that's not true

What's not true?

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

that *Grins* I wish I had a picture of me with my tail. I've started wearing it regularily to college.

[Cinderella]

Tail?

[Mr Initial Man]

I have a costume piece that looks like a bobcat tail, and it's attached by a regular belt. I'm wearing it right now.

[Cinderella]

okay...now sing the meow mix song...
hehe.

[Cinderella]

That's a shame. BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU!

Why do you hate us?

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

And Mim, don't wear a damn tail. You're embarassing yourself.
Surely he was kidding, just like with the frames..

BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU!
"we" being cinderella only :p

[Ben Rogers]

Haha, yeah. "all of you" being Cinderally only, too. And the little guy. Not that I mind blasting Opeth, to get that out of my head, but it cheapens it...:(

[Cinderella]

Hmph. Okay, guess I'm the only one.
Still hate me?

[Hiya]

Me so happy my avatar tells you y. Why (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/david.rogers23/rand/y.htm)

[Ben Rogers]

Hiya, 404.

Cind, yes. :p

[Cinderella]

Well. I'd hate you. But I'm not allowed to.
AND DON'T CALL ME CIND.

Oooh, Cinders is angry.

mine does as well (it's black?)

[jeff_archer7]

My Avatar has not changed since day 1. I think i'm the only one to keep it the same all this time......
AVATARS

[Jick]

I think i'm the only one to keep it the same all this time......Erm... yeah... *points at Kenny*

I was just too lazy to ever change mine. :p

[jeff_archer7]

Ok 1 of 2....... happy now MoFo

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

ew, i had to go to page 2 to find the avatar thread!
anyway...AVATAR!

[Ben Rogers]

Page 2? You slackers. I leave for a...while and this is what happens? Incompetence!

[jeff_archer7]

lolz ben

[Mr Initial Man]

You haven't changed a bit, Benny Boy

[Ben Rogers]

...hey, now, watch it cat-boy...*goes off to maybe (maybe) post in some ACTUAL forums* No offense, Rizz, Jick.

[rhsunderground]

now where did that ban button go to............




:D

[Mr Initial Man]

...hey, now, watch it cat-boy...

What?

[Mr Initial Man]

*Looks at avatar.* I think mine's getting boring. I should change it to something else. What do you guys think?

[David Harrison]

Yeah, getting, yeah, *shify eyes*.

[wh666-666]

i quite like my avatar .. am i the only one?

[Ben Rogers]

Penguin!!! Penguin!!! Penguin!!! Hidden Penguin!!!

Penguins!!!

[wh666-666]

lol ... why the lama ben??

[Ben Rogers]

Why the penguins, wh#beast?

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

i quite like my avatar .. am i the only one?
probably

[wh666-666]

Lol thanks LCF, i like your artistic LCF avatar though.

Anywayz ben .. to be honest i dont know why the penguins. Got the image while searching and it was entitiled 'dildo penguins'. To me it looks like penguins infected by micros*ft, and also a unique image i suppose. So why a lama ben, are they your favorite animo's?

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

Lol thanks LCF, i like your artistic LCF avatar though.


hehe, thanks,
anyway, i was kidding, as i can only judge for myself, i don't really like it, but the original might look good

[Ben Rogers]

Viva La Llama!

[wh666-666]

The original did look a bit better LCF but i had to edit it to use as my avatar. I think its possibly the most relevant animal in relation to computing (penguins rule over butterflies!!) Penguins are actually stolen alot from zoo's apparently by little kids. Lol @/with ben .. Viva la llama indeedy!!

[Mr Initial Man]

*Pokepokes* What's this doing way back on the third page? *Gives mouth-to-mouth resucitation*

[Mr Initial Man]

Hopefully this avatar will get things going again. *Hugs thread*

[Ben Rogers]

Change it to "4 EVA <3" and it'll be money.

[Mr Initial Man]

Forgot the heart, but I agree, this is better!

[wamboid]

Who's Eva and why do you condemn her so?

[rhsunderground]

4eva == forever

[Mr Initial Man]

*Chuckles* Irony of that is I really do think frames are the best thing since funny animals. *Hugs his frames*

[Ben Rogers]

MIM! Stop trolling!

[Mr Initial Man]

Oh, fur Nexxus's sake, Ben! I'm not trolling! If I were trolling, then I'd say Tim Berners-Lee was the antichrist and CSS was of the devil. The nice thing about frames is they worked. They didn't work perfectly, but then neither does CSS.

Saying I still like frames isn't trolling. It's just being really stubborn.

[wh666-666]

lol dont listen mr initial. Ifs its any consilation i like tables and frames as well. The great thing about tables is although they can become very long they are extremely simple and perfect for starting out webdevelpers who dont know css or any other coding and are getting to grips with coding. Its just like keyboards and mice, they are obselete now because now you have touch screens and stylus for input but keyboards and mice although a waste of space will stay around for years on end because its simpler and what people prefer. Keep using tables, does it matter so long as its properly coded and asthetically pleasing and generally does the job (in regards to speed etc).

[wamboid]

4eva == forever
It was just a weak attempt at humor

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

pwah! pwah! :mad: :(

[wh666-666]

LCF. Pwah pwah?

Quack!

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

grrr...psht psht, no tables, no frames!

tables and frames lead to the dark side of the Web, the easy side..the tempting side..
Once you've been there, it's hard to come back to the Light

[the tree]

I managed to turn back to the light perfectly well thankyou, anyways, tables roxxor teh big one!!!1!!!!1!!!one!!!!11!!!!eleven!!!!!!1factoral!!! because they are semantically correct and a perfectly coded table truly is a thing of good markup.
Tables for layout are a cheap hack, not that different from the CSS hacks that we're all guilty of although perhaps with more consequences.
Frames serve a purpose and that purpose is the results page for a Google image search, I haven't seen another really apropriate use of frames but until some great hero of free infomation doth fell the empire of Google, frames shall forever have thier place in the web. In truth, they may still, but then they'll be appended with an X, which is awesome.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

of course tree, when i say "table" like that i meant "table for layout", i sure do use table for tabular data, figures and stuff like that, that's their purpose...

[Mr Initial Man]

Ah, framesets. A subject near and dear to my heart. Think of them as Client-Side Includes, and you'll know why I love them. They're actually as easy to maintain as, say, SSIs, and you can use them on a lot more hosts, free, paid, or whatever.


*Looks around* Well, I certainly got this old thread going again. :)

[rhsunderground]

i am so glad i started this thread so many moons ago.

[vinnydarat]

Let's see if my avatar shows up.....ah yes, there it is.

[wh666-666]

i am so glad i started this thread so many moons ago.

Yea RHS its quite long running isnt it? 2,206 postings! quite hard to beat on postings/viewings and a good subject to get everyone involved.

Lol like the avatar Vinny, very funny and by the way welcome to the forum.

[vinnydarat]

why thank you, wh666-666.

I'm having fun here already

[Mr Initial Man]

Where'd you get that avatar, Vinny?

[Mr Initial Man]

Let's see how old this thread is anyways.

hey mr initial, the beauty of ggole image search...lol

Damn, i missed this threads 2nd birthday....i love cake

[Mr Initial Man]

Yep, this thread has beem around longer than I have. I've kind of fallen in love with it. I've revived it more than once. What's the use of raising a monster if you're just gonna let it die?

I have seen ONE thread with more posts. On another forum, it was a game to count from 1 to 10,000. Let me tell you, it makes for very boring reading. This one wanders all over the place, but the scenery is nice.

[the tree]

One of the forums I frequent has a counting game, but it's great fun because people compete to find the most obscure way possible of expressing each number.

Anyways, this thread is most excellent and I only just noticed the MIM has a tiny postcount, which is odd because I've always considered him on of the regulars.

[Mr Initial Man]

That's because most of what I post is here!

[Mr Initial Man]

I've been thinking of putting up my original avatar.

[wh666-666]

[shane.carr]

[Mr Initial Man]

Actually, no. My original avatar was taken from a picture. I'll switch back to it tonight.

[shane.carr]

My original avatar was taken from a picture.

[Mr Initial Man]

Yeah, I had that for a LONG time. In fact, it was this thread that encouraged me to get an avatar.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

[David Harrison]

Oooh, and a capital A too, gotta love a free upgrade. :p

[Mr Initial Man]

*Merfs* I've never read Discworld. Is it any good?

[NogDog]

*Merfs* I've never read Discworld. Is it any good?
If you like the British style of humor a la Douglas Adams, you'll love it. Well..."it" is not quite the right word, since there must be around thirty of them now. (I think I've read close to 20 of them so far.)

[Mr Initial Man]

I've never read anhything by Douglas Adams. :(

[NogDog]

I've never read anhything by Douglas Adams. :(
The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy is Adams' his best-known book, though my favorite was The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul.

Anyway, as far as Discworld goes, take a look at http://www.terrypratchettbooks.com/discworld/ and then start with The Color of Magic (http://www.harpercollins.com/features/pratchettbooks/description.aspx?isbn=9780061020711) and learn to fear The Luggage. ;)
