How do you imagine other BDers

[Neithan]

When i first saw it i was screaming, "Ahhh! The Downs has been taken over by Capitalists!"

Ouch! Am I not welcome here then? We are not bad people you know.

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

In fact I believe one of us would have a face that looked like Spam.

You have something against that? My SPAM theme comes from a discussion about the nickname SpM (Saucepan Man); you know the sort, far too much caffeine or waaayyy to early in the morning....

[The Only Real Estel]

Have you ever noticed if everyone guessed what everyone else looked like going by their avatars alot of us wouldn't look too hott

Do you have something against Wario?

*raises eyebrow* I dare say, you people have far too much time on your hands.
As for the (much) earlier comment of people looking a bit like their Avatars, I must disagree: They do not pick the avatars as resemblance to their physical appearance. After all, physical characteristics are only skin deep.
The avatar is meant to represent something much deeper and more personal than appearance; it represents the soul.
Like Abercrombie. He chose Spam as his representative.
Spam is the diet of an astronaut. Well, Spam and Tang, that is.
I lived the first few years of my life on Spam. It is a daily presence in my life.
I open my email, what do I see? Spam!
My point is... it's a necessity of life. Perhaps that is what Abercrombie is trying to say... the world needs Abercrombie!

[Gil-Galad]

yes Abercombie is indeed needed in the world, probaly as an alter-ego that flys around the world giving out spam and jam and ham alot! and she probaly has to push the pram alot! and maybe a knight of Camelot?(yay Monty Python)

i still find it funny that people ask who is Monty Python...

[ElementFire]

we do have too much time on our hands, thank god for the BD, without it we would drown in our boredome...

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

the world needs Abercrombie!

yes Abercombie is indeed needed in the world

Well, I seem to be appreciated here. Mischief managed!

Gil-Galad, I know, Spam and Monty Python, can't go wrong with that.

Now, I haven't been imaginative lately so I think I will. While browsing the BD forum I realized something, THE Ka will be turning 100 this year! So I thought that that was cause for celebration and therefore I am going to be describing her to you all.

THE Ka is the youngest old person that you will ever meet. She lives by herself (in a bird's nest, but I'll get there later) and she doesn't need a walker. In fact, her great-great grandchildren still play with her on the playgorund.

In appearance, she hardly lets on that she has seen both world wars. She is small and light and has long black hair full of ravens. Of course, you don't always notice the ravens as they are very small.

She is the world's first most authority on buttermilk. The making of, the selling of and the tasting of. She takes it very seroiusly too. She recently took a martial arts training class and is fully qualified to whip your behind. Back to buttermilk. She uses her great skills in martial arts to save people all over the world. Where there is a crime against buttermilk she is there to stop it. Thankfully, due to her altruistic work in the Campaign for Better Buttermilk, those crimes happen very rarely anymore and the world is a better place.

She has a had 4 eye transplants because of her incessant reading habits. When she picks up a book, she literally can't put it down until she finishes it, even Great Expectations. This has caused some problems before, especially on the subway when she kept missing her stop.

She is inclined to dress like a punk rocker in memorial of Motley Crue, her favorite band. Usually she rides a donkey to work (at the buttermilk factory) because she hates modern transportation, besides the baggage carousels at the airport. She likes hats perched at a jaunty angle and cookies with peanut butter.

Happy future birthday, Granny!

Of course we aren't. I mean, how could we be, considering there's an "All Capitalists go to Heaven" rule?

Everyone should add a little halo and big wings to their mental picture of me.

[Gil-Galad]

Sorry Phantom, this will forever me my image of you:

[ElementFire]

HAHAHA! The Phantom, in spandex.... lol I never would havev pictured him like that, but that's hilarious...

[ninlaith]

Nope nothing against SPAM. I love SPAM. Especially the song from the Monty Python skits for SPAM. But anywho, I think the phantom looks like...well...I really can't say...they're a phantom for goodness sake..hahaha oh boy...

'Grr! I'm Capitalist and i'm going to eat your trees, trasport my waste material into your water reservoirs, support the Globalist movement, Improve upon our second attempt at Imperialism but forget the pacific this time!, Strengthen the gap between rich and poor, take your freedoms and replace them with fear, use the media like a wet hankie and rub it into your faces then causing you to catch the ignorant narrow-minded flu, Control the fedural goverment and your right at public opinion, try out Facism for a second time and forget the pasta, put global slave trafficking out of view of public concerns, try once again to win the 'war' against drugs, borrow more money than I have ever seen in the fedural reserve at any given moment, lower once again the minimum wage, allow the stock market to fall into itself all the while trasporting my reserves to a private account, Try to buy out central america again, feed you meat in patties that has made up from at least fifty different cattle, allow you once again to be laid off, Using funds for education for that of privatialization of oil and natural resources that will make me big $, and many other things but I don't have time to remember because I have to go to once again, another meeting as to how many other ways can I make your life a pain..."

By the way, I really don't think purple is your colour. Especially in spandex. I'm seeing a yellow or something close to brozey-red. But, it is seemly on you, I don't mean to offend...

[Neithan]

Actually Cheney/Bush are not really Capitalists, a slightly better picture would be Alan Greenspan. Also most of the things you listed go against capitalism. Especially fascism, barrowing money, taking away freedoms, and Imperialism. All of these are the opposite of what Capitalists want. And as for privitisation, I can take care of myself without government programs.
Sorry, I know this is not the place for political stuff but she started it!

Phantom...I'd stay away from spandex if I were you. In general it just doesn't look good on guys (or the majority of women for that matter).

[The Saucepan Man]

That's enough of the political stuff. If anyone wants to continue that particular discussion, then please do so by PM.

Ka, you should know better by now than to post something that is 99% off topic and bound to encourage further off-topic posts.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Well put, Lord Saucepan!

Here's my take on ye, Phantom!
Phantom is a Dwarf. Long beard, shinny eyes and hair as wild as his imagination. Plus he sits at his little stone computer and types away his memoirs "Oh, to be important".

Hope you're not insulted.
