No, not that kind.

So where is your avatar from? Care to share what avatars you use, or discuss avatars in general?

So where is your user picture from? Care to share what pics you use on other forums? (I know we used to have a thread about this, but it seems it was lost in The Great Crash.)

My current avatar, and all my previous avatars, are from Gunnerkrigg Court. So it's probably safe to assume that all my future avatars will be from there as well.

How in the hell did we get from Toronto to southern Italy? I get the gangster thing. That is Matrix' fault.

If Matrix bashing is "in" now, I'm all over it. Crush the weak.

Also, I liked Furiko's badfic avatar. It truly exemplifies the refined culture and sentiment of TV Tropes and the community surrounding it.

Mercy? What IS mercy, but another form of condescension?!

Wait, Matrix is the scapegoat? I thought we blamed 4Kids for everything.

I drew my avatar a long time ago. I'm represented by that little guy and that lady is my future wife... Full picture here...

Nice parry. I see you have trained well. But you forget that I am [AOD]. You killed my father.

Seconded. When he said that the little dude on her shoulder was supposed to be her husband I tried to exorcise them both. Didn't really take.

FUN ANECDOTE TIME While I was walking to the manga convention I overheard some girl calling another person "you teme".
I corrected her.
Should I feel proud or ashamed?

So, uh. Can I defend Matrix and still blame stuff on him?

Faw, you can't stop the Japlish. All you can do is make improvements on it until it somewhat resembles actual Japanese. You have done so. Have a cookie.

Now, Trombley, don't insult Jon Polito. I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate it.

@Glenn: See, that's kind of the problem. Saying "you teme" to someone, on a purely grammatical level, just means "you you". "Teme" is just an extremely disrespectful way of saying "you". Because most languages don't have distinctions like that, it usually gets translated as "you bastard", so the guy she learned it from taught her that it means "bastard".

Yeah, I admit I thought "seme". Because that's the closest word I know that looks like that. ("meme" is further away alphabetically, and obviously didn't fit.)

Is this word pronounced "seem" or "seh meh"?

JethroQWalrustitty Since: Jan, 2001

Seh meh, taht's how Japanese pronounciation works.

I used to pronounced meme that way too. As well as Trope (bit like Trophy).
