Well, I'm an ass freak. I love butts, so when I found this .gif of a pr0n star rubbing her shapely pooper, I just had to have her. Wait a minute...

I just thought that Tripping the Rift was the funniest thing I had seen in a long time. Still do. To Bad the Scifi channel is going to screw it all up and make it TV safe.

I love villians. I narrowed it down to Megatron and Mumm-ra and went with mumm-ra because thundercats > transformers.

Xatrei · Post by **Xatrei** » February 10, 2004, 1:08 pm

Tripping the Rift was an independent film made a few years back.. SciFi snapped up the rights to it a year or two ago.

I chose my current avatar because Quiznos coopted the spongmonkeys from rathergood, and I got tired of people asking me why I had a quiznos ad for an avatar. That and the "Triple T" makes me laugh.

Post by **Sylvus** » February 10, 2004, 1:55 pm

My current one because it is one of Tool's logos, and they are far and away my favorite band.

The moustache rides one because I was hoping to both make some cash in the form of quarters and give some moustache rides.

Vinnie Jones, yo. What's not to like about him. Fit in with the several Snatch-inspired avatars, but was unique in that it wasn't a pic from the film.

Current one is an illustration from one of the Dark Tower books by King....good shit.

Whatever I find on the net the looks interesting, is under 25kb and dimensions are small enough to be an avatar works for me.

My avatar represents my favorite band, String Cheese Incident. Some people hoola hoop at the concerts, but I'm too cool for that! I just dance my ass off. I do like to hoop, just not at shows.

The signature is because she looks like me, the avatar is because it was what I originally wanted for my signature with my picture, but ended up using Julie instead.

WTF is an avatar?

Ogbar · Post by **Ogbar** » February 10, 2004, 6:09 pm

<---- Old school Ogbar avatar, one of the first I used on the old Obsidian Guard boards.

I originally took the screenshot because I was intruged by the sight of a dwarf warrior casting a spell - in this case, consuming a SoW potion (just after they fixed alchemy). Goofy, eh? But in those days, warriors wore crafted blue, plus they were the only ones wearing that color, so it was rather odd to see an obviously non-magical class performing the spell casting animation, and the total image, therefore, was something quite unusual to me. I guess you just had to be there.

Anyway, folks started ginning up picture icons on the OG boards, and I decided to use that screenshot in mine. We had a lot of fun with that stuff back then. When these boards first opened, I decided to go retro an use the old look Ogbar here, just for shits and giggles: he's been in place ever since. In fact, he may even be the longest tenured avatar here, having been installed the second day of the boards, the first day the non-admin mob migrated here.

I didn't believe you the first time you said that, nor did I believe you when you said you needed to scan it in. You could say A) you just think it's a cool picture or B) you think it's a funny picture but don't say it's a pic you took in a car since it also appears on this site, which happens to be a motorcyle website. Oh yes, and I saw it on the Internet about a year before you had to scan it.

Idiot.
