Mine's just a response to what my avatar's asking. It helps illuminate my standard lack of a clue.

Mine's because defenestration is cool.

Chandlers Gunman, a combination of Chandler's Law and Chekhov's Gunman.

It's a trope I want to find examples on, basicaly the guy who burst in guns blazing at a random moment, but has some allusion earlier on. Only example I can think of is the guy who shoots Le Chiffre in Casino Royale.

the statement above is false

I have to be "The Jar-Jar", because "The Scrappy" and "The Wesley" were already taken.

I hope you get tiny bits of eggshell in all your omelettes for the rest of your life!

Any questions?

In what manner, when, why and does he plan to cover it up?

Awesome FPS game. Awesome Judas Priest song.

The game is 2.5x as awesome when played with the song in the background.

In what manner

Choking your punk-ass out.

when

Whenever he damn well pleases.

why

Because he's Samoa Joe.

and does he plan to cover it up?

Of course not. He's Samoa F'N Joe. You think the cops are going to do anything to him? He'll choke them out too!

Komodo dragons are the largest lizards in the world, which pretty much makes them the King/Queen of Lizards as far as I'm concerned, hence my title.

-pokes avy-

Summoner is what he is, and sleuth is what he does. Plain and simple, no nonsense about it.

...

Or maybe it's "summoning is what he does, sleuth is what he is"?

"[he's chopping wood] for some reason." title card in Ouran High School Host Club when Mori does Exactly What It Says Onthe Tin. With no shirt on. Squee.

I also like doing that, shopping wood. Though, I keep my shirt on, mosquitos are harsh mistresses. Also, while I wouldn't like to citisize a martial arts expert, his technique seems inefficient, he uses too much power for a simple task.

At some point, I need an avatar.

Mine is to provide intentional ambiguity as to whether I'm making fun of police, or the justice system. grin

BTW Charlatan, what you want is Nightmare Fuel Unleaded.

Regular Nightmare Fuel is only unintentionally frightening to children. Unleaded is the stuff that creeps the hell out of fully grown adults.

The decimal value of #0088ff. Which is the color code for the color I used.

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

My current title corresponds to my current avatar.

Edit: I could leave it at that, or I could actually comment on my current one. It's Lemeza Kosugi, an Indiana Jones expy in the video game La Mulana. La-Mulana is a freeware castletroid game with a huge amount of depth and gameplay length. And respectable difficulty and amazing soundtrack, too!

Currently, it's "underling of underlings", a Paper Mario quote describing the Goombas. It appealed to my self-deprecating side.

I seem to recall Spaceman Spiff setting his blaster to "deep fat fry" in one of the strips, but I don't have the patience to flip through my old C+H compilations to find it.
