If they paid me, I would.

Don't you have to meet certain criteria? Like having an IQ higher than a gibbon but not having a face like one. And be 'of good physical stock.' And I wonder if they REALLY give you free porn to 'encourage' you to perform. These days it might be access to a paid up membership of a few hardcore sights. I think if I had unlimited access to them Sybian movie sites I'd be able to meet their supply requirements on me own.

%$£^%&%£ is an air guitar riff, (ala Bill and Ted) and they are used when somebody TOTALLY CHANGES TIME $£^^%*&^%^£ (or edits a post).

Pfft, if we're going to get personal that graphic is pants. Why have you got a building worker saying it, and not even within the screen frame.

I think we should be told.


AND - if you make your own damn emoticons up how's anyone sposed to know what they mean?

warhead - it's pretty easy to know what they mean...
turn your head on its side, and use your imagination.

grim - i'll use this 'opportunity' to tell you:

You suck at spelling

=D

I know how to look at emoticons you wombat, but when they're so rudimentary it's hard to tell wtf they're supposed to be.

(No offence)

I've got to 'old me 'ands up, Guv, it's a fair cop, I should have seen it was a link. I, too, can be a wombat at times.

it's pretty fucking obviously a face though :/

Yeah - easier to figure out (IMHO) than o_o or ~:/

You spelt my name wrong, and managed to use only one capital letter, and missed out a full stop.

Oh, and I didn't draw that picture. I have lots more at my disposal, such as:

Wasn't he the chap from the Fat Boy Slim video {I'm #1 so why try harder}
Posted by arsepuppy, 16:02, 22nd October 2003:
 
Isn't it Jono Coleman?
Posted by Grim..., 16:24, 22nd October 2003:
 
It's not they guy from the Fat Boy Slim cover, but it could be Jono Coleman (because I don't know who he is).
Posted by arsepuppy, 16:25, 22nd October 2003:
 
try google
Posted by Mr.Nishi, 16:27, 22nd October 2003:
 
Never heard of a person called google.

Are you my mate Brett?
Posted by WarHead, 16:56, 22nd October 2003:

I beg to differ. It's a nequals sign and a square bracket. If you're gonna use Annie Moticon at least use one that actually looks like something.

;0)
Posted by Mr.Nishi, 17:16, 22nd October 2003:
 
Err no...should i be disconcerted by that?
Posted by arsepuppy, 17:18, 22nd October 2003:
 
no, it's just that you used what is known as "the Brett joke".
Posted by Mr.Nishi, 17:34, 22nd October 2003:
 
Ahh or the shite "joke" stating the obvious

Strangely, you intrigue me. I mean I can see the MY SMILEY bit, but the first word escapes me.

It's defo Jono
Posted by WarHead, 23:42, 23rd October 2003:
 
He must be standing on something then. Possibly Kate Thornton.
Posted by Redmaiden, 00:36, 24th October 2003:
 
I do hope so
Posted by reitsma, 06:03, 24th October 2003:
 
Grim, may I first point out that there is a difference between capitalisation and spelling.

Also, I believe that it is YOU who sucks at spelling (please refer to my previous post), which leads me to believe that it is in fact YOU who are spelling your name wrong.

So take your pick.

:o)
Posted by Grim..., 09:25, 24th October 2003:
 
Yawn.

OK, I give up - what's p|-|33|2 then?
Posted by Grim..., 12:20, 24th October 2003:
 
p h e e r.
Or pheer.
Or Fear.

Don't worry, l33t very rarely gets used round here.
Even so, you should learn it to get maximum enjoyment out of Megatokyo.

l33t is fucking lame and anyone who uses it is pathetic! - FACT

(unless used in a purposefully ironical sense)

Sul has never been more correct - FACT

Posted by arsepuppy, 13:03, 24th October 2003:
 
Isn't l33t a bit juvenile?? It's on a similar level to backyard wrestling, FFS.
