Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Just an inquiry; on people's avatars. Explain why and how you got your avatar the way it is now!

I noticed that the avatar a person uses has a subconscious, yet significant effect on the impact of what the person is saying. This works in particular for ItnaKlipse and Smiscalion, whose avatars, well, force upon you a certain amount of respect for the avatar, and furthermore, for what they are saying. I do assume you guys aren't really russian tsars or preachers...

Well-The Bull. Look at him. Ain't he just cute, posing for the camera like that inmidst the mad run, a shirt of the bastards who tease him dangling from his horn.. In all the terror it spreads somehow understandable and even funny and - yupp, cute. It's one of my absolutely favourite pictures.
That's why.

Oh, and it drops bullshit wherever it goes by.

Mine was inspired by an advert for Clorets breath fresheners on UK TV which had a bunch of meerkats, one of whom said at the end, "Have you ever seen me dancin'? I mean really dancin'?"

Czars and TV priests don't "force" any "respect" on me whatsoever...and my respect for what you have to say is, naturally, 100% independent of the image to the left of it. ;)

This topic is mostly meaningless to me anyway, as I'm one of the (very) few to use the avatar-less 'Summer' Heartland theme. :P
