I'll change it if I manage to take a good picture of one myself.

Or if I dig up the piece of sewing that originally inspired the name, if only to let you laugh at its hilarious crappiness.
Do this. Now.

And yes, my bowtie wasn't on straight when that picture was taken.  The big black space is the school visual-performing-arts-center.

For some reason, since I changed my avatar I've become a lot more sensitive to puns.

I used to be "Oh, Har Har. ATack. You make that one up by yourself?"
Now I'm all "PUNS ARE UNNACCEPTABLE! I KNOW YOU WILL PUN THE PREVIOUS STATEMENT, AND IT WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE GANKING."

And this isn't just on this forum too. Woah.

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Also - why is it that everyone finds a tack more interesting than a guy with a jetpack?

There are alot of people with jetpacks in the avatar world. Not many tacks. Plus, avatars with a dark background go well with the darkling theme.

Also, for some reason I too respect you more Tack. Not that I didn't before but wow, weird.

That would explain it. I don't like the darkling theme. Buttons are too big. Can't have too big buttons. Or too many, but that is another topic entirely.

Woah, and now I'm meant to be deserving of respect? Next WD' will be telling me he no longer wishes to use my face as something to disdainfully scrape off the underside of his boot.

Heh. I don't think I'll have to worry about that one for a while, actually.

If you don't like the big buttons, you could scroll out with Ctrl+scrollwheel.

*Hesitantly attempts to do so*

Gah!

*Rushes off to change profile settings*

Thanks Cheetar!

EDIT: I'm not really used to it. It's wierd, and I don't really like it. I guess I'll get used to the differences in time.

EDIT2: The above is a horiffic pun, sorry.

EDIT3:Ok, my leap-frogging is going too far.

EDIT4: We might want to re-rail this.
