review of emoticons and their impact

Did anyone notice that Graham called Jeff "qiplow"
IE: Qi + plow

I think a name change is in order.

They always looked like crows to me. I never understood why one was flying upside down.

Two crows (= people) flying (=going) in opposite directions (= opposing views)?

It's only now I realise his name is not "qiplow" - I thought that was his name!

I blame my energy twin.

I think they're flying in the same direction, but one has the wings up and one down

[GrahamB]

Oh yeah, hadn't noticed that...

aho = "dumbass" in japanese. it is also the sound that crows make in japanese. it's one of those things you see in manga/anime a lot.
when someone says or does something really stupid, a crow flies across the background, saying "AHO!" and everybody has a one of those looks with the beads of sweat.

"Dumbass" is a bit of a stretch for a translation, isn't it? "Stupid," "idiot," "moron" are all fine.

Also, crows do not actually make that sound, this is just a stereotypical joke of manga/anime (especially anime) (remember, these are not particularly creative people for the most part).

What were the odds this thread would turn out to be entertaining and not emo? Nice work, mix, you aho!

only when i'm actively engaged in farming do i go by qiplow. the rest of the time it's all about the phlow.
i forgive your energy twin. she's got that phenomenal ass, after all.

qiplow, does linda ronstadt sing your theme song? if not, you are unworthy.

[Ian]

I don't know what to feel about this one. When was the last time you winked at another man? That's borderline gay.



I thought this one was exclusively for MikeC. You know, to remind us what he looks like during each of his posts.



Mr. Breadhat, obviously.

i know this'll totally ruin the humor, but please explain. it's thursday, you see, and i've been getting up early too many days in a row, and my brain ain't working well at the moment...
thanks.
