In which we discuss Avatars and custom user titles

[Ziggy Stardust]

I was wondering about my custom title.

It reads Lepper Messiah, with two p's but I've seen it written with one as well. The lyrics in the Ziggy Stardust song from the cd has two p's but the one on the internet has one.

Since pepper has two, I'll stick with lepper. leper looks odd. Anyone who can help me out here?

Dictionary seems to disagree with my spelling, but I'd like ... uhm ... closure. Yeah, closure.

Leper just doesn't seem right.

 

[Bartleby]

I would spell it leper.

 

[IglooDame]

should I change my custom user title to ''the man behind the box'' or is Cereal Killer so great that I should keep it ?

/open question

Or maybe "the bran, the myth, the legend"?

Metallica's song, of the same title, uses one 'p'.
And now I'm off to check to see if they're covers of each other....

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

It's clear who covered who if that's the case

I'm sticking with two p's. It looks better that way.

I think that some poster (who shall remain anonymous) has muddied up the waters when searching for lyrics to your song; something to do with your username, I think.

Any chance you can post a link to a sample of the song?

 

[Raisin Bran]

Or maybe "the bran, the myth, the legend"?

nice suggestion but I like short and sweet titles.

kinda like my ''think inside the box'' title I had before.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Well, I don't know if you were looking for the Song Lepp(!)er Messiah from David Bowie, because that doesn't exist. It's just a part of the lyric from the song Ziggy Stardust,

Making love with his ego Ziggy sucked up into his mind
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band

edit: Forgot the link:

Ah, they're nothing alike.

My avatar is an illustration to Eminescu's poem Luceafarul from which I took my username.
In full size it looks like this:

My title is also derived from the poem and means "immutable and cold".

 

[Gelion]

Discuss mine!

 

[Xanikk999]

My avatar is a tonberry from the final fantasy video game series.

Tonberries are slow murderous creatures that always carry a lantern and dagger and live in caves.

They cast curses on you and when they get close to you they kill you in one stab with thier knife usually.

They are small but dont let that fool you! In most final fantasies they are some of the toughest normal non-boss monsters.

 

[Raisin Bran]

Discuss mine!

your avatar comes from fallout 2 .... great game BTW!

you should put a colored background tho.

 

[punkbass2000]

should I change my custom user title to ''the man behind the box'' or is Cereal Killer so great that I should keep it ?

/open question

Heh, I dressed up as a cereal killer for Hallowe'en about ten years ago

 

[Bozo Erectus]

should I change my custom user title to ''the man behind the box'' or is Cereal Killer so great that I should keep it ?

/open question

Hmm, since Raisin Bran has so much fiber, maybe you should change your title to 'Bricklayer'.

 

[Gelion]

Yeah I should ask for a new one from the same theme....
...and thanks. Fallout fans of the world should unite!

 

[LLXerxes]

You're promoting Shark Week?

He's always involved sharks, remember? He's the artsy one, remember?

Anyways, my avatar is a picture of the Maharishi Maresh Yogi, a very wise guru who tutored, yes, the Beatles! And I choose a nonsensical phrase from a term by, yes, the Beatles! (the Inner Light) because I was creating a pseudo-cosmic theme.

While I'm at it, here's my signature-
In Orange- random rant about Pluto
In Red- Song quote (The Beatles - Within You Without You)
In Blue - Random book quote
In Green- reminding people to use correct spelling and grammar in the book.

My avatar is a cute little Pit Bull puppy and i think its way better than some ugly pug

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

Orrin Porter Rockwell once avoided indictment for attempted murder by pointing out to the grand jury that anyone he ever attempted to kill was guaranteed to end up dead.

 

[El_Machinae]

You could use successive photos as your postcount increases! Bigger dogs each time.

edit: ferchrissakes Eran! argh! I've even warned you! ... my reply is intended for Bigdog.
