Kije, I'd care, but I don't. Not even for your birthday.

/me lights Kije on fire for good measure. Disappointingly it is of the normal red and orange variety.

I know what you're trying to do MoD. But the camel poo will never go away!

The ambivalence thing only works if you don't set your antagonizer on fire, MoD.  Actions speak way louder than words.

Yes, but setting you on fire is strangely satisfying.

I am currently on a quest for thunder bolt powers. I suppose I need a good staff first.

I also suppose that you might need to find some good perfume or some such also, because the smell of camel poo is still hanging around. It's the one smell that just won't wash off, no matter how hard you try.

Actually it doesn't matter. My hordes of minions will be too stupid to notice.

So where do all you people find your little profile pictures?  I like speedy, but I seem to be just about the only one with a forum-based pic.

I found some clipart. Just the other day, actually--I had been using the Superman logo from the forum. But in browsing the geocities clipart when putting together that Halloween picture, I found some funny ones and snagged them. I don't know an exact link--I had copied them onto a dummy page, looked at the source code, and used that url. I don't know--maybe that's not terribly kosher--but I figure it's clipart for general use, should be okay.

Yes, because a dog/kangaroo eating a cat/beetle is a presumtion for precursored clipart.

Gemm's explanation is more amusing.

Kije, you can link to any appropriately sized image on the web (but it has to be online somewhere). In MoD's and my cases, they're images I found and resized and uploaded on my site.

In my case i agreed with spriggan in a debate so he would be favourable to me and then got him to shove it on the TWG server. :)
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I just took a picture I liked and sliced out a little section of it using MS paint.  Make sure it's square, and it's somewhere under a hundred pixels per side, and you should be okay.

Of course, you have to have a place to upload it so you can send for it with a link.

Though if you ask someone who has a website (say Sprig, Saint or Tage) really nice, they might upload it for you.

Someone was bugging me about having Tigger as my gif when my name was MoD and said that Tigger wasn't very frightening. So Saint was nice and helped me out.
