Naw... This is a puffer fish.

Oh, yes, erm, :welcome1: again, Moosie.

[MooseIBe]

Boy that sure is UGLEE! *looks impressed*

[Dingfod]

Welcome to FF, Moosie.

Your avatar is a puffer? I thought it was a pomegranate with ears.

[MooseIBe]

/me expresses shocked indignation and asks if you've never seen Finding Nemo ....

[MooseIBe]

btw it's actually a really crappy pic cos originally it was a bmap or something and i had to convert it to a jpeg to get the site to accept it :(

[livius drusus]

I've been wondering about that. bmps suck. If you PM me the original I might could make it work a little better for you.

[Leesifer]

Moose, I'm gonna have to give myself a user title "I'm English, don't hit me - hit Moose!"

[Dingfod]

* MooseIBe expresses shocked indignation and asks if you've never seen Finding Nemo ....Aw, geez, I was just kidding. Yes, I think I've seen Finding Emo. Isn't that one where Emo rides his bicycle to the circus?

[Leesifer]

Heh heh. Dunnit! :cool:

[livius drusus]

He he... That's awesome. :thumbup:

[livius drusus]

I juryrigged this one up for you Moose. It's not great, but it's better than what you've got. What do you think?

[MooseIBe]

oh wow that's wonderful Liv thanks!! Do I just link to it from there? (sorry I didn't reply sooner .. was grazing ;))

[MooseIBe]

Moose, I'm gonna have to give myself a user title "I'm English, don't hit me - hit Moose!"

Hmmm

/me contemplates changing to, I am English, hit whoever is smallest

[livius drusus]

oh wow that's wonderful Liv thanks!! Do I just link to it from there?

That should work (get the url by r-clicking and checking the properties or r-clicking and selecting copy image location). If not, just save it to your hard drive and upload it in the avatar field from there.

(sorry I didn't reply sooner .. was grazing ;))

No problem at all, of course. :)

[MooseIBe]

oh wait .. i tried that and it hasn't worked. Hang on, maybe I did something wrong; will try again.

[MooseIBe]

Hmmm .. at the risk of being a pain in the arse - I am kidding, I love it really :) - when I get the url of that and enter it into my address bar preparatory to storing it on my hardrive, I get a message saying that the url doesn't exist...

[livius drusus]

I can do it for you in the ACP too, if it keeps not working.

ETA: And done. Check yourself out. :)

[Dingfod]

Right click, Save As and save it to your hard drive, then browse for it when changing avatar.

<============SEE!

[livius drusus]

That's so perfect for the custom title, warrenly. Perfect.

[MooseIBe]

ooooooh!

/me looks down at self and beams proudly

thank you!

[Leesifer]

Moose, I'm gonna have to give myself a user title "I'm English, don't hit me - hit Moose!"

* MooseIBe contemplates changing to, I am English, hit whoever is smallest

Damn. I'll have to put my platforms on. That'll make me at least 5' tall.

[Dingfod]

Don't you mean 4' 12"?

[Leesifer]

:glare:

[viscousmemories]

:welcome: to the FF, Moose!

[MooseIBe]

Why thank you! Before you know it, I'll have 7000 posts and you'll all be privately praying I get hit by a boos ;)

[Godwhacker]

Hi Moose!

Speaking of pufferfish, I once got hit with a pufferfish when I was a kid. Grew up along the shore of the Gulf of Mexico. We would get these massive fish kills due to something called "red tide" (a microorganism that sucks the oxygen out of the water, killing all the fish). A so called "friend" of mind at the time decided it would be just hilarious to lob a dead pufferfish at me with the oar of his inflatable boat. Hit me right in the chest ("thunk") and stuck there for a few seconds before falling off. I had a whole bunch of red dots on my chest for a few weeks.

Sorry, its late at night, and I'm free associating!

[koan]

I can't imagine there are many people who can say they've been hit with a puffer fish before. Truly original. I especially like the part about how it stuck there for awhile.

[JoeP]

12. What about your avatar?
issa puffer fish, innit?I always thought it was one of those old-fashioned round christmas puds with holly in the top, flaming.
riginally it was a bmap or something and i had to convert itNew edit is much clearer!

[MooseIBe]

a xmas pudding?! My poor avatar! Did ANYONE realise what it was?!

Hit by a puffer fish .. heheehe .. sorry, I shouldn't laugh but I did :)

[Crumb]

I knew what it was, but it looked like it was a tiny image that you blew up too large.

BTW, why isn't it a moose? :narrow:

[Dingfod]

It's a pufferfish saying "Look! A moose!"

[MooseIBe]

hehe i do use a moose avatar on another forum but I always really fancied a pufferfish.

I didn't blow it up .. it just lost all its resolution when I converted it to a jpeg until Liv restored it somehow :)
