A little fun with ranks :-)

OMG! I'm about to become a short, wide, gelatinous bathypelagic blob!
Arrrgh! I like vampys better.

Yup, but it's really just the waiting room until you get status...

But it's such a l-o-n-g wait.

Sorceress,

I was thinking the same thing. It took me so long to get through Vampyroteuthis and while I want to get to Architeuthis, I kind of want to skip the gelatinous blob stage... I guess I will just have to post a lot of meaningless stuff in supporters (500 or so... ). Only 14 'til I get to the gelatinous blob stage...

And to that end, I humbly submit the lyrics from the theme song to the (original) "The Blob" movie, as best I remember them:

Beware of the blob! It creeps, it leaps, it glides and slides across the floor, and to the door, and all around the room(?), look out, be careful of the blob!

Hard to believe I've wasted brain cells on that, but it's a catchy tune...

(doing my part to escape gelatinousity)

I suspect Tony might start docking points if we started posting tons of meaningless stuff in supporters. Oh wait....that's what I do now! Gee, I like a pointless thread......

I prefered the ND thread.

 

[sorseress]

That's a good one too. We can get lots of mileage out of that one! I wish we had a smilie of "the Scream" That would be perfect for the ND thread.

 

[chrono_war01]

Poor Steve O.......

I propse that Posters with 0 posts be ranked as "Neil Daimonds"!

 

[monty]

by your command, imperious leader: a scream icon

That's a good one too. We can get lots of mileage out of that one! I wish we had a smilie of "the Scream" That would be perfect for the ND thread.

How's this? It's from the lithograph version, which appears to be public domain, cropped and shrunk.



I don't know how to have Tony add that to the icons, though... Tony?

edit: here's a try with transparency:

 

[sorseress]

Very good!!! Tony?

Me too!

the scream would make an excellent smilie. Sorry about both of your impending blobhoods. Guess I'm just a couple of months away myself.

 

[sorseress]

Mine is no longer impending...I am officially a blob.

 

[monty]

as long as I'm at it...

I think it's time for a Neil icon, as well as the anti-Neil:





just so we have something to scream about...

 

[bigGdelta]

Now I really need the scream smilie. is it possible to die from sequin poisoning?
