My name is Technon, for we are many...
« 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 haven't heard anyone voice anything on this site.  Perhaps I should un-mute.

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'...

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.

I had the Frank N Furter duck as my avatar at BC for awhile.

That still does not explain the Mr. Platipus T avatar.

WHICH SHOULD by the way BE EXPLAINED!

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.
