Title: My name is Technon, for we are many...
Post by: Technon on February 08, 2011, 11:08:41 AM: I was looking for a place to comment on how horrible the new Gizmodo layout is (I couldn't even find the comment space), and I realized that I don't really have a place to voice my joys, frustrations, likes, dislikes, etc. If you're really lucky, i'll come and drop some culture on you mofos.

I'm pretty sure it's because you look like you could throw them over the roof of your vintage 1983 GMC G-Series van with its diagonal red stripe and red spoiler and then quack maniacally.

I'm just sayin'...

Wait... Is that what that is? A duck bill?

I did not know that.

I think it is the kind of quacker that a duck-billed Platypus has. Either way, it's mostly the "throw them over the roof of your vintage 1983 GMC G-Series van with its diagonal red stripe and red spoiler" that most people would be concerned about.

As well they should be!

Pity the fools.

Post by: ivan on February 09, 2011, 02:02:23 AM: That still does not explain the Mr. Platipus T avatar.

WHICH SHOULD by the way BE EXPLAINED!

Post by: pbsaurus on February 09, 2011, 01:36:03 PM: I was surfing the duck sites for interesting rubber duckies. Ian collects them. We have pirate ducks, carni ducks, thanksgiving ducks, firefighter ducks, etc. I found a site that had pop-culture ducks with Mr. T and Frank N Furter. I thought they were funny so I avatarized them. No platapuses were harmed in the making of that avatar.
