one day I randomly I decided I wanted an avatar of people clapping, so it would look like people are clapping at what I had to say, So I took to the internets and found as many clapping gifs as I could find.

When you search for 'X', don't you always find as many 'X's as you can find?

No, you can always find more, you just have to look harder,

It's not possible to find more than you can find. It is, however, possible to find less! So it still works as an intensifying statement: you got literally every clapping gif in existence, which is quite impressive.

They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Wait, that GIF looks suspiciously like a comedian/entertainer in Korea...

I originally had fan-art of Hamstone for an avatar because it looked awesome, but then I noticed the penguin thread...

Ever since the bandwagon stopped, I've been keeping mine.

The penguins have the support of the ponies. Keep shining on, you crazy flightless avians.

My last avatar was a loling mantid typing on a computer, getting his troll on. Then, I somehow conned PlutoniumApe into making me this sweet new one of a giant mantis cutting a dwarf in half, which is badass. lolololo

Edit: It wasn't very clear as an avatar, unfortunately, so I went back to my default. Here's the OG picture, though!

My avatar comes from a painting of Stancyk, a Polish jester. It was when I was still developing my Internet name and went by The Troubled Fool. The name didn't stick, but the avatar did, though I have done some... minor modifications.

I remember it used to be a clean-shaven guy, but the original painting man features a beard.

I had just been reading "the Scarlet Letter" In school, and was too embarrassed to try to get something actually resembling the character Slathazer.
