I just got an idea for one, but Utsanomiko might have to make it for me, since he's got the /\/\4[) p|-|0+05|-|0p 5|<!11z in the family.

Just one hint: It's Eva related... ;)

Might as well go from the Master Control Program back to my Al Howe Dark Elemental avatar.

As you can see I already have my BM in halloween colors, but I expect it to change after a while.
Not unless I can find some half-nakie men with a halloween backdrop. ;)

I don't celebrate Halloweeen - but if I ever need a spooky avatar, I'll use Jerry The Alien. (my affectionate nickname for the alien on the cover of the book Communion, a classic of the "sci-fi novel claiming to be truth" genre)

In fact, Dalton described it as freaky. Jerry indeed is freaky!

William the Bloody (aka Spike) from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. :)

I'm not sure I'll stick with him though.

Methinks you're confusing your boozeups.

But they're a week apart! and completely separate boozeup excuses!
one - you dress up like a fool and get very very drunk and party like the living dead.
two - you dress up a dummy like a fool and get very drunk and watch a sober person do pretty things with fire.

I didn't think Halloween was even observed as a boozeup in England. If that's the case, you're one boozeup on us! I'm going to have to spearhead the dummy burning movement here. If only for the sake of getting drunk around a bonfire.

I think my Ghostbustaaaars theme counts
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

I'm supposing the Japanese way of spelling.

And beside why get scared of the Tonberry....slow ass turtle, but apparently cute according to many a woman.

Looks like it, but it's Tonberry. All my Final Fantasy games are in agreement on the issue.

While they ARE irresistable to women, I know them better. They are these psycho little monsters who crave to creep up slowly... slowly... slowly... slowly... STAB CITY! Especially that bastard Don Tonberry in FFX. I still can't kill that little shit.

Tonberi is the original Japanese spelling, which they happened to have preserved in FFVII.

Ghost, the reason to fear Tonberi is that if you don't kill him fast enough (he has tons of HP and it takes forever to kill him), he'll walk up to you and stab you with his little knife, killing you instantly.

At least that's how Master Tonberi worked in FFVII.

Only Master did that...the problem lies in that their speed is lthe level of my turtle(heck in FFTA they have a near killing ability...too bad their speed and their range suck donkey balls)

They do it in FFIX, too. Startled the fuck outta me the first time one stabbed Steiner and killed him.

Just thought I'd let people know that Sumomo (the uber-cute mini Persocom from Chobits) here isn't my Halloween avatar. Just something I made a few minutes ago and am testing it out. I might even switch back to "Matrix Asuka - natural light version" later today...

I'm positive my copy of FFVII says Tonberry. It doesn't matter to me if it's spelled Tonberi or Peggy Sue in katakana, in English, which you and I speak and what all the copies of my Final Fantasy games (and I'm assuming yours too) are in, it's Tonberry (which Tonberi is likely the engrish of). :)

I bet you call MegaMan RokkuMan too, cause that's what the Japanese say, don't you? :wink:
