Avatars are intrusive, annoying, and distract from meaningful debate. A curse on Avatars and all who use them!
homo-phones are unnatural and against the law in Georgia.
Homophone is a queer sounding word, ain’t it?
I thought that was just Dayton, Tennessee, and that law was repealed soon after it was passed.
[/naive dutiful reader]
A homophone is a pink princess phone that only exhuberant young men with a penchant for theater have in their snazzily decorated lofts.
Only in Harry Potter slashfic, where you wouldn’t believe what they spell!
So what do you call someone who hates / fears / is prejudiced… against homophones? A homophonophobe? :eek:
Nah. That sounds more like someone who is afraid of a gay record player or turntable. Or perhaps someone who hates old Liberace and Barry Manilow LPs.
'Ave a tar? Isn’t that what they do in the British Navy when they’re feeling randy (or perhaps Randy)? Sounds gay to me.
Duh!!
:eek:
I once saw a video of ten men sucking each other off in an orgy, but seeing avatars in bulletin boards was the gayest thing I’ve ever seen.
I thought homophones were guys who sound gay, but really aren’t.
Is it Christmas yet?
“Don we now our gay apparel…”
WHOOOOOOOOOOSH
Ah, Kythereia, don your hazmat gear and wade into this thread. All will be revealed.

No, those are homophonies.
For the same reason that you cannot place images directly into posts and that posters are asked to keep their sigs fewer than four lines: the board’s servers tend to operate in a constant state of overload and few things that will slow the loading of threads are permitted.
Thats a bunch of reg bullshit. That lame explainantion might work on the other tards around here but not with me. I post on lots of boards larger than this one and this is the first one that won’t let you put up an avatar and puts line limits on sigs. If the board servers are operating in a constant state of overload then the admin should upgrade to a server than can handle the traffic DUH! Before I could even post this I was forced to read the following:

You’re telling me that you expect me to pay membership dues to a site that can’t even run from a reliable server? How many of your members are paying you? What are you using that money for? Not a good server I guess. If I was interested in paying you to be a member I’d expect a certain amount of basic privileges. I want to know exactly what the admin around here is using the paying members money for!
I also want to know why so many gimps gheyed up my post. What kind of site is this anyway?

A site that surely won’t miss you when the door hits you in the ass.
No it isn’t. Avatars are TO-tally gay.
Al-batross!
Avatars aren’t gay. They’re really quite hetereosexual. See… they’re common and everyone wants to have one.

I certainly don’t want one. An avatar, that is. So I guess that makes me gay. Unless avatars are gay. Then that makes me heterosexual. Unless ‘gay’ is an insult rather than a sexuality. Then that makes me straight. Unless I’m gay anyway, since an avatar would then not affect my sexuality at all. But how can I be an insult? And if avatars are an insult, then is everyone on other message boards insulting each other? Ah, I’m so CONFUSED!
See, it’s threads like this that lead to a loss of sexual identity. Thanks a lot, lissener and Mockingbird.
