Re: Face Your Manga: Create Your Own Manga Avatar Why are the avatars with the V-sign with palms facing inward?
Does this mean something else?

Re: Face Your Manga: Create Your Own Manga Avatar I love these! I think we should make it mandatory for everyone to use them as their avatar.

Does this mean something else? In Europe especially England...it carries the same translation as the middle finger.

Re: Face Your Manga: Create Your Own Manga Avatar I think it means the same in Australia as in the UK. a few years ago our president (forget which one) was in Australia and was giving the peace sigh continuously... if only he knew.

Re: Face Your Manga: Create Your Own Manga Avatar There weren't buttons for "Fatter", "Drunk", and "Covered in Paint" or we might be on the money.

Re: Face Your Manga: Create Your Own Manga Avatar Damn, some of these are great - Wish I could get the cussed thing to work for me ...
Just a buch of buttons labelled 'undefined,' and none of them will do anything but pop up more unlabelled buttons! Updated my Flash, softbooted, but still no joy ...

Fantomas? Yikes. I waited for over 2 hours (after the opening band had performed) for Patton and Fantomas to go on at a show once. Eventually I just left. I was with a friend who's really into FNM, Tomahawk and all his side projects... I left him at the club. Never again.

I'd have waited - but I'm a big Patton fan. Would've been worth it! useless toys wrote: This thing will not send me an email, I've made 4-5 of them and still nothing... SUCK.... Just make a screengrab of it - then you don't have to give your email out to anyone either!

Does this mean something else? British history 101 . . . . . according to a popular legend the two-fingers salute and/or V sign derives from the gestures of longbowmen fighting in the English army at the Battle of Agincourt (1415) during the Hundred Years' War.The story goes that the French claimed that they would cut off the arrow-shooting fingers of all the English longbowmen after they had won the battle at Agincourt. But the English came out victorious and showed off their two fingers, still intact. Look, I still have both fingers now feck off back to France!

Re: Face Your Manga: Create Your Own Manga Avatar Oh... that's what I was doing wrong. When I tried to impress Goth chicks, I always wore Aubergine, Mauve, or Puce eyeshadow...
