So, Aptyp, how does kangaroo taste? I'm curious.

I believe he was implying you were a drunk russian as Jiu's asinie-ish-ness must conclude that Sibera = Russia.

'Tis rather like lamb when young. Flesh from older donors tends to become both strong and rather gamey. Or so I have found. Poor marsupials.

We may have to do something about these smilies. Possibly remove them.

DU, you are Hitler incarnate.

And yes NL I was implying that Aptyp is a drunk Russian from Siberia and has eaten enough kangaroo to write a book on it.

Please inform me if I am wrong for thinking this.

That is more than the population of Australia. There's plenty of meat in Australia. If they run out of kangaroo meat they can always hunt crocodiles, koalas, aboriginals and opossums. I imagine kangaroo meat is rather gummy, thank god they don't sell russian sausages here.

opossums? I know Australia is marsupial-land, but what the fuck are
opossums (" 'possums" here) doing in my backyard on the US east coast?

An opossum is the opposite of a possum. Sort of like how antipasto is the opposite of pasta.

Also, if an opossum and possum touch, the reaction destroys all the matter around them.

What? DU against the smileys? You were like their biggest supporter ever.
It was, what, only 3-4 years ago, when NMA had that DC forum where you said "Hey, hands of the emoticons"?

A history teacher of mine once said the Acrynom for the Soviet Union was R.U.S.S.I.A.
She was really dumb.

Fixed, I shall have to try combining the two at some point.

Incidentally, have you ever been to Opossum Bay in Tasmania ? There, the possums fuck opossums and make jelly fish.

For those of us unfamiliar with jelly fish, visualise a quantity of plastic wrap filled with ejaculate. Now, imagine such between one's toes. That, is a jelly fish. Poor fucking jelly fish.

Can't remember that. I do recall arguing against the new forums and having avatars though...

Maybe I should remove them over here at DAC.

Yes, remove the avatars.
My moving-eye cylon gif won't fit, so nobody should get theirs, either.

Well, make it smaller then!

Avatars serve as quick identification instead of searching the author in the custom title/rank jungle, don't remove them. Instead, signature size should be limited. There's nothing I hate more than signatures with stupid irc quotes and images that fill 1/2 of my screen. Luckily, that aint so bad here as in other forums.

I agree, and though my preferred avatar was small in screen area,
at 300+kb the file was far too large. I cropped it, reduced the number of frames, lowered the number of colours, and it was reduced to about 83kb.
The limit appears to be 39kb, but I have seen larger files by clicking on
the properties of various avatars. Maybe it is a new guy limit.

Damn, anybody here know gif voodoo?

I suppose I could just have the one-way red-dot cylon sweep, and
then repeat the same frames backwards to cut the file in half.
I don't know if the "gif AI" is smart enough to not make extra copies
of the frames and instead just run them backwards/forwards/backwards/etc.
Is there way to control that manually?
Last resort is to remove the cylon head and its background and just
have the red dot floating by itself in space. Maybe that would also
be the coolest option.

Ideas please.
