Allright, everybody. Let's all go back in time by ten years with whatever GIF avatars we want saved on a USB stick. That's how we can have them today.

I'm I allowed a Animated dancing Pig as my avatar, does it have to be a farm animal?

Yeah, you're allowed a Animated dancing Pig.

I didn't even notice that her avatar was animated. That seems to be a pretty good justification for letting her keep it.

I don't want her to loose her animated GIF, I want one myself!

Tethered swimming.

I just feel like topping that.... but.... I can't. I just can't.

I can't believe I missed this for so long, familiar faces are fantastic fun. WB :)

I've developed an absolute fascination with Finland over the past year or so... the electronic music output from that neck of the woods is fucking awesome in it's goofy-but-expertly-crafted composition, and it's one of my optimistic goals to someday make it out to one of the local forest parties.

[/end boring storytelling]

Finland is awesome. We should have a thread for it. Really!

No it's not, there's snow and shit. Not cool.

So... uhh... very cool then. What with, you know, the dictionary definition and all.


Oh, forget it.

^ Look at his face. He disapproves. ^

That's a lady.

Your self-portrait is a lady?

He posted an image that didn't work. You should always take the precaution of quoting blank posts before replying.

Really, it didn't work? That sucks. It works on my end.

Doesnt work here either.

Edit: You know what? This is the weirdest thing ever. I went into your post, and pasted the url into my browser, and saw the gif you wanted to post... and when I went back here, it worked! Then I refreshed and now its not showing up again :S
I'm confused.


But uh... Nice chick!

Hi. I'm back. Retirement was too dull, boring, and involved WAY too much guitar playing.

You left? Hurr hurr durr!

:monster:

Okay. Maybe not so missed.

STM, you betrayed me (again)!

I betrayed you before? And I keed don't worry, it's very nice to have you back! In all your anti-sweariness.

Almost fell for it.

Next time.

I'm still generally anti-swear...I did include ONE swear word in the latest chapter of "Odd of War," which I have posted in the last few hours. Just to make Abe an extreme bad boy.

I'm curious as to what age you are seeing as you're anti-swear.

Age is no measure of wisdom, or tolerance. I believe that cussing is a fallen impulse of man, a desire to make pure things cursed through words. Ex: f-ing, s--t, b--ch. They all make things a curse.

I pride myself in having a huge amount of tolerance for trivial things.

They also happen to get a point across really quickly. They're effective like that, and you should use them where necessary.

There are ways to get points across without them that are MUCH less offensive. I've done it for years. You should try it sometime.

Like using capitals?

Who takes offence to swearing unless they're old men or Christians, or unless they are being sworn at?

I'm a Christian, and proud of it.

As for anti-swearing, that's why I take offense every time you post, due to your signature. It's nothing against you personally, it's your swearing habit. Not trying to poke you when I have my own flaws, but I believe this world would be a better place without swearing.

Ridg3: Exactly!

I wasn't talking about Christians specifically, and I have no problem with Christians. I just do not understand and never have understood why, unless a word is serving a malicious purpose, any kind of word, be it "love" or be it "cunt", should cause any offence without having some sort of a context in which it can be offensive.
Then you are a fool. It is a joke about a dog's name and a bad zoo, and, even though it does make reference to the fine word "shit", it is not presented in a context what any mentally healthy person could find offensive.

Thank you for being one of the few people on this forum who don't immediately start flinging swear words at me for being a Christian.

As for the word c--t, its own primary definition is "a vulgarism." That's strike one. For strike two, using words that compare a person to another person's private parts are (or at least ought to be) highly inappropriate and offensive to the person on the receiving end.

What's wrong with making reference to human anatomy, God's creation? You should embrace your Lord's creation.

And in fact, I said that a word cannot be offensive to any sane, secure person if it is not put in a malicious context.

It's a matter of propriety. If a word is used in the right context, it may be used. But words should not be used flippantly, such as calling someone a c--t.

Allow me to reiterate with an old iteration:
Do you understand the word "malicious"? Because this is vital.
