Exta merit points if the title contains a reference to Switzerland. Since your namesake predates William Tell, you could legitimately cop to something like “Hey! William Tell. _Noob_! Bite _this_.” Just sayin… ---

> [@samclem](#): > > Easily “at the least.” 🙂 Maybe I should start that thread just to get someone else to pay for my membership and the custom title fee so they can saddle me with “Complete Asswipe” or whatever. That would be so in keeping with my philosophy of benefitting from society but not paying for it. AMIRITE GUYS!!!@@@! SWEEET!!! ---

Avatars seem to fit in at the two splinter boards, they have a somewhat less"formal(?)" feel than here. I don’t think avatars would be a good match. Proposing animated avatars should be a bannable offense. :p:D ---
