For the first time I can answer yes to the question posed by this thread

Can anyone explain the green avatar phenomenon? I know it's somehow related to Iran, but I don't get the connection.

[tazber]

To show solidarity with the repressed people of Iran.

I don't really get it either though, I mean they want to kill us. Not really feeling the love there, ya know?

[Q]

It's in solidarity with the idea of rising up against repression, as expressed by what's going on CURRENTLY in Iran. That's as far as the thought has been taken - which is unfortunately common these days.

I'll save my energy to fight for my own rights here at home.

[Q]

Posted: 6/28/09 at 2:28am

Right now, my energy is reserved for just trying to get through each day and ending up a little better than I was the day before - either mentally, physically or emotionally. On a VERY RARE occasion, I actually address two out of three.

Oh, I know what it MEANS. Sorry, I wasn't very clear. What I don't understand is the connection between Americans on the internet making their pictures green and Iranians protesting their government. Is green a significant color in Iran?

I'm heading back to New York today, yay!

Page three? I don't think so!

I'm so honored. I'm finally important enough to have an insulting quote as someone's (FlyingMonkeyXX) signature!

[mauriposa]

Posted: 7/2/09 at 7:35pm

Congrats! Austin gave me that honor once, but he pulled my quote after a few hours for something more clever. Which one of your witticisms made the cut?

[scott68]

Posted: 7/2/09 at 9:13pm

Oh, it wasn't even witty, it was just a lot of tipsy vitriol, but accurate, I think. He's just such a tw@t, and not even funny about it. If you're going to spew sh!t, you should at least be clever with it!

Congrats scott. Welcome to the club! Some poster has one of my qoutes too, I can't even remember his name though.

Green and white are the colors of the Iranian flag, btw.

Ah, that makes sense! I was hoping someone would answer and not just LMGTFY, equally helpful though that would be.

Anyone else up? I'm bored!

It's BrodyFosse123, taz.

Scott I thought you'd switched to a new screen name today. I saw a new poster today with the name NotScott (he just joined today), but there was no av pic which made me think twice 'cause you never pass up a chance to show off. :-P

[scott68]

Posted: 7/3/09 at 12:49am

Hey! I'm the most modest slut on the block! But wait, there's someone else who claims to not be Scott? Tell me where he is and I'll kill him!

It's the BEAUTY AND THE BEAST thread (possible holiday engagement). It's the third to last post, first page.

Interesting! It's his only post, so it's hard to say if he's a me-parody or not. Either way, my already engorged ego is about to rupture, so que sera, sera.

I'm watching an old Futurama episode. I'm so excited that it's coming back! Family Guy never quite hit the highs of the early episodes after being resuscitated, but Futurama was already so unevenly funny and emotional that I have faith in its resurrection.

Did you guys see that a poster who joined in '04 named AKIVA appeared yesterday? And he's from Canada?

I wonder it's our Akiva?

[scott68]

Posted: 7/3/09 at 1:16am

'04? I was three years old then! Kidding... but I've actually noticed a lot more Akivas because of our one and only Link Larkin. And by a lot more, I mean one or two more, but for Akivas, I feel like that's a lot.

"my already engorged ego is about to rupture"

Just aim in the other direction. I don't want a facial tonight.

I saw, taz! He even signed his post "AKIVA."

[tazber]

Posted: 7/3/09 at 1:21am

yea, that sig really threw me. That's such an "our Akiva" thing to do.

So scott, what are you up to this summer?

[scott68]

Posted: 7/3/09 at 1:25am

Well, I spent two weeks upstate painting our house, which is how I made a good portion of my spending money. Aside from that, I'm staying with my current internship in a limited capacity and kind of bombing around the rest of the week. I might be working in a more 9 to 5 capacity for another company later in the summer, but that remains to be seen. And that would really cut in on my drinking hours, so I'm not sure how I feel about that.

"... but I've actually noticed a lot more Akivas because of our one and only Link Larkin."

Same here, scott. I'd never heard of that name until I came across Link Larkin Wannabe (that sounded perverted). But afterward I began to notice it everywhere, especially when I watched A BEAUTIFUL MIND for the first time last year. The screenwriter was Akiva Goldsman.

Ugh. I hate it when I intend to sleep until one or so, but wake up and can't get back to sleep in the actual morning!

We're gonna have an avatar tent revival tonight!

I'm gonna be "witnessing" to all y'all.
