Mission Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 You know, I really like the ninja guy. I can't for the life of me figure out what emotion he represents, but I think he's cool. (Given the inexplicable enmity that seems to exist between ninja and pirate fanciers, it's sort of an odd thing to even have around here. Yet I still like him. That's what you call ironic.) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Captain Jim Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) I just looked at the tag line under your avatar and misread it as "Mail Order Sturgeon." And why is that ninja in here amongst us Pyrates? Edited October 15, 2008 by Captain Jim My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
Mission Posted October 15, 2008 Author Posted October 15, 2008 I just looked at the tag line under your avatar and misread it as "Mail Order Sturgeon." Yes, and I sing, too. (Remember those singing fish that came out around Christmas one year? Perhaps it's better that you don't.) For the record, I did not put that label upon myself. I asked Stynky about it and he told me he had no idea what I was talking about. Must be ninjas or ghosts. Or the alleged likeness of Jesus in a canvas bag sitting by a lantern. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
blackjohn Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Actually... wouldn't a ninja smilie look just like this ? But I agree, I dig this little dude too. I also like the googlie-eyed fella too. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Hawk the QM Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Yaaaar, I think the guy represents sneakiness. As in, I just raided your camp for all the rumz
Mission Posted October 15, 2008 Author Posted October 15, 2008 Now sneakiness makes the most sense, but he doesn't look so much sneaky to me as he does stunned. See what I mean? I also like the tongue-sticking-out-guy much better than the ambiguous animated one we used to have. You know exactly what this means: But this one? I just don't know. I named it Fydo in another post on emoticons as it sort of looks like a dog panting to me when it's animated. I did like all the other pirate smilies, though. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
blackjohn Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Now sneakiness makes the most sense, but he doesn't look so much sneaky to me as he does stunned. Kinda like a scuba diver who has just run out of oxygen... My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Mission Posted October 15, 2008 Author Posted October 15, 2008 There'd be more flailing. For as much as they trained us what to do when we ran out of air...I'd never want to try it. He does look like a scuba diver, doesn't he? Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Duchess Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I like him too, though I keep thinking a looks a bit like hes just been caught in his own booby trap. Sneaky, pained and somewhat embarrassed. So I have a hard time finding appropriate time to use him.
Captain Jim Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 What? You guys can see me? Crap... My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

Mission Posted October 16, 2008 Author Posted October 16, 2008 Diver Dan... he's the man! Looks like he's part of an assault team!

blackjohn Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 What do you get if you add scuba tanks to ninjas? Navy seals! :ph34r: My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
