It's me, back when I was letting my hair and beard grow out rather long. My hair's quite a bit shorter these days... when folks were starting to get tired of (at least) eleven people sharing the exact same avatar, I quickly whipped up a pile of avatars based on pictures of me I had on my hard drive, and Stark's was one of them. I believe Stark's gone back to normal avatars though, which leaves only two other people who still have my face as their avatar.
And yeah, at the time, the fedora would often prompt Amish remarks... made all the more ironic by my job in IT.

My attitude has always been to spam in Testing, and make sure I contribute to the rest of the board, where it really matters. I really don't see a problem with continual or compulsive posting in Testing, unless Testing spam is the large part of a user's contribution to the board; in that case, your view of him is justified, I think.Crown wrote:You know back in the day when I had a say in such matters, I never said this but what they hey; honestly people who compulsively post in testing should be viewed as boarderline trolls/spammers, its posts shouldn't go towards post counts and should - if anything - be counted as negative posts.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

I used to have this Lenin banner for a while - made sense, because it was in the Civil War, and also a clue about my nation and political orientation..
But I like to switch this stuff (avs and banners) around, not stick to something for good.

Way back in ancient history (I think about two years ago, now), Burger King ran a series of commercials with the same general theme. Basically, a guy wakes up one morning, turns over, and sees this Burger-King mascot in bed with him. The mascot looks at him for a second, turns, and presents him with a Burger King breakfast. I think the original aim of the ads was that Burger King serves you breakfast your way...or something like that.Stofsk wrote:I don't get the meaning for the second last one.
Unfortunately, the Burger King mascot, if you look at any of the pictures, is downright creepy looking. And waking up to something like that is more likely to induce nightmares, heart-attacks, and questioning the existence of a benevolent god, than it is hunger.
Thus, the start of the 'Where is your god now?' bandwagon.

That's a misfired ad, for sure.

The new Burger King campaign was wildly successful, in that it got everyone's attention. In the same way that bringing back Jack helped jack-in-the-box, bringing back the King really increased BK's business.

I'm not sure what message BK is trying to send.

now if we could just add some vacant looking twins to those BK commercials (ala the shinning), or maybe some japanese teen with hair covering half her face, then it would be really scary.

I too, was shocked to be the only person who seems to represent this grand conflict.
