    My picture of the Spock Puppet (haha - get it?) was supposed to be for wayne-scales, but I guess nobody liked it, and HAL works too. An alternative and less subtle slogan for that could be "I'm sorry Dave, but you're a fucking idiot."

    As far as Arthgon, it could be CATS. The slogan is the beginning of his dialogue with the captain in Zero Wing, all of it in broken english of course - but I translated it into Dutch. CATS with "Lost in Translation" would be pretty good.

    Changed my mind about Philes. These pictures are of the surgeon from Awesome Center by flash animator Egoraptor;

    Gross: If you translate it into Dutch: Al jou/uw basis is behoort tot ons.

    My two cents:

    If I had to choose from these two for Philes, I will vote for the second one. 'The doctor is IN'? Yes.

    Grakelin: Macguyver with mullet "No Task Too Small."

    Wayne-Scales: Hal from 2001. "Obstreperous Difference Engine".

    Wobbler: Christopher Walken?

    That statement, along with the statement directly following it (You have no chance to survive make your time), aren't things I'd associate with you. "How are you gentlemen?" Is close, but not broken yet - Lost in Translation is a better fit.

    Also, you need to stop making suggestions for both your avatar and slogan if you do actually want one.

    Sorry, Sorry. I just wanted to help. Because I speak that language. This will not happen again.

    Never understood anyone supporting non-english titles on an English board. A title is supposed to accurately represent the owner, not sound like Cthulhuspeak to ~100% users.

    Now, anyone has anything convincing to say on what does MacGyver have to do with Grakelin's online personality/behaviour? Likewise with Christopher Walken and wobbler.

    A specific forumer here managed to get either a Celtic, Gaelic, or Welsh title (or something) - but you have a rather powerful point in that I still have no idea what her title means. I figured I'd translate Arthgon's for no easily discernable reason other than he's Dutch, and it was simple enough to guess what it meant given CATS.

    As for RDA and Grakelin? They both worked in a hospital, following in their older brother's footsteps who died in a plane crash over Africa, until said brother returned alive to everyone's surprise.

    Wobbler is simply the weapon of choice.

    It's Irish for "kiss my ass". Never liked the title, either. What's the point of telling someone to kiss your ass if the person can't understand it? Guess the title was self-given, too, seeing how it wasn't mention once in any language in the appropriate thread.

    Irrelevant, seeing how the same can be said about all of us.

    Oh, but have "all of us" cut through a thick rope using nothing but a pine-scented air freshener?

    Compared to my personal exploits, it's rather mundane - but how often does a radioactive plush toy grace an obscure forum?

    MacGuyver: Grakelin seems to be sincere, concientious and sometimes educational. He often seems to clear up minor misunderstandings or answer trivial questions quite painstakingly.

    Therefore, since he mentioned RDA, I thought the young, cheesey, educational and dorky MacGuyver might suit, maybe with "No Fact Too Small."

    As for Christopher Walken, Wobbler's energy just evokes for me a pale, contentious, creepy guy in the arctic circle, brooding and waiting for revenge.

    Zoidberg is, I must admit, an honest advertisement of my personality, finances, eating habits, native environment and social skills, including the odd woopwoopwoopwoopwoopwoop when I'm startled. It even kind of looks like me. Therefore, I protest most vigorously.

    ^ That moment where you realize your existence is really just someone else's version of The Sims.

    Hounds don't stray too far from their masters. Wonder where it is lurking about.

    Good to see you among the living, Papa.



    For ytzk, if Zoidberg won't gain the House's approval, here's a new proposition.

    Even though he enjoys thymothering the crap out of Smuel, whenever there's an intensified discussion, ytzk's usually the first to pull out the peace pipe and suggest we all kumbayah by a fireplace.

    With that in mind, I present the following directions for ytzk's custom:

    Thy mother! with any of the above would be pretty gold, too.
