Does anyone else find themselves making a menacing triangle with their hands while creating their fortress?

I mean, I can't help it. It's like i'm plotting my evil plans, or something.

In case you don't know what I mean by "Menacing Triangle":

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I mean when yourr fingertips are spread apart and touching their counterparts on the opposite hands and your palms are apart. It's a cliche villain thing to do when they're sitting in their mastermind chair and saying things like "Feed him to the *animal*!" or concieving evil things to do.

[Cotes]

I do now.

[schussel]

you mean the "Burns Gesture"?





Simpsons did it!!

[Sordid]

I tend to do the Gendo hand thing:



Sadly, my glasses probably don't glare quite as menacingly.

[Naryar]

Hey, good idea ! I would rather do the Xanatos Pose personally



Most of us are villains anyway, it's time we identify ourselves as them and take on some clichés.

I prefer to stroke my goatee and/or pet my cat while planning my fortress.

Then I pretend to use an intercom and ask to see Urist McPeasant in the drowning chamber. I may be a little weird.

i just sit and laugh manically as the wave of magma tunnels through my fortress, incinerating everything in its path. muwahahahaha

Pet cat here too, she watches the dwarves fall to their deaths in the pit.

I put my left thumb and index finger on the chin while the right hand holds the mouse, then I look up like I'm pondering.

When I'm calculating, I look down kinda like The Thinker, with my elbow supported by the desk.

Simpsons already did everything, so you disregard whether the simpsons did it or not.

[Urist McGyver]

Acctually, Magic, The Gathering did everything.

HA!

[Lielac]

Either that or do a variation on the Gendo/Xanatos pose but with my chin resting on my fingers. DF brings out my vicious side.

[Krelos]

I'm always in some variation of the Thinker pose, because my right hand never leaves my mouse/numberpad.

[ledgekindred]

I'm not so much for the gestures, but I'll certainly announce things to my dwarves, such as "Good news everyone! I've discovered a way to [fill in the blank with something that will invariably wind up catastrophic.]"

[slink]

I pet my cats, but that's because if I don't pet them then they will walk on the keyboard.
