They're from the Star Trek episode where Kirk fights Spock

Yikes! Trekkie to the rescue!

That's from "The Gamesters of Triskelion". Kirk, Chekov, and Uhura (IIRC) are transported to a planet and forced to enter gladitorial combat with aliens from elsewhere. Those three disembodied brains bid on the outcome.

1,000 quatloos on the newcomers!

He doesn't fight Spock that episode? It's the episode with the famed Star Trek fight theme, I'm sure of that.

I certainly knew they were the 'quatloo' guys.

 

[bhsup]

I think it does have the fight theme, but the episode you are thinking of is "Amok Time",happens on Vulcan, and has to do with Spocks instinctive mating urges.

Deep sea fish are some of the most beautiful and fascinating animals on Earth.

They still terrified me. I was odd as a kid.

And I changed my user title back by popular (well, two people mentioned it) request.

I condone the move.

Way to bow to peer pressure, kiddo!

You should change it back.

Now.

Yes, I realize the irony if you do change it back....

I am the Stormin' Mormon, I care not for peer pressure. But as I feel that my custom user title is a gift to the community, I should give the people what they want.

 

[El_Machinae]

You only don't care about peer pressure because we all told you to ignore it.

I guess my new avatar and title might need explanation. But I cant be bothered, wiki can explain for me

Indeed.

First it's avatars and sigs.

Then it's the Mary-J.

After that, it's the Big H.

Then petty burglary and armed robbery which will eventually lead to murder to support your habit.

You're three short steps from Death Row! Repent now!

I don't have to deal with peer pressure because I am peerless.

Ahh good old Aussies, is there any sport which they don't refer to as 'footy'?

Indeed.

hooray. The stormin' mormon is back.

And I never looked closely at El Machinae's avatar, so I always thought it was like one of those warp cores from Star Trek.

I second that

 

[Fox Mccloud]

If you seriously believe what I put in my Avatar, yes.

Just thought I'd chip in.

'augurey' is a name I've been using since I joined a Harry Potter discussion forum back in '03. Yes, the name is from HP Lore though not found within the 6 books (rather 2 books JKR put out for charity, one being Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them which is bascially a fake bestiary of magical animals).

(also known as Irish Phoenix) Described as looking like a small and underfed vulture the Augurey is greenish black in colour. It lives in a tear shaped nest that is usually found bramble and thorn patches, it usually only leaves its nest in heavy rain to feed. Augureys were once thought to foretell death with their with their low wailing cry. In recent times it has been revealed that Augureys cries usually foretell bad weather and have since been used as household pets. An Augurey's feathers cannot be used for quills as they have the uncanny ability to repel ink.

Augureys are found in Britain and Ireland and sometimes Northern Europe.

Aside from looking like a vulture, I found at the time that this described me rather well at the time (I was pretty depressed then) and still to this day holds true in many regards.

The animal it self derives from the term 'augur' one who interprets the future by studying the flight of the birds (I believe this dates back to the founding of Rome) or an augury which is a prediction made with such methods.

JK Rowling just added an e. I think augurey looks better than augury anyway.

ANYWAY, going on. The avatar comes from the chapter where Lord Voldemort is reborn. The title is simply Lord Voldemort, who, despite my dislike as a person, I find facinating.

Unlikely. I use a mix of letters and numbers, and there's roughly 3.08 billion different combinations.

My avatar is a picture of the kilt I wore to my mother's wedding, and my title is in reference to the suspiciously large sum of money in my ISA.

Oh wait, your from Venezuela, now it's clear.
