So last Friday, I was online, minding my usual online business, when completely out of the blue, I get an IM from--of all people--Happyelf, aka Abel ( Read more... )

Wow. Happyelf. I haven't thought of him in several years. I think he's still on a permanent ignore list somewhere.

Psh. Radical left wingers. What are they good for?! (giggles)

I'd be nervous to run into Abel. He was one of those people who was so angry, you literally couldn't reason with him. I always wondered why he was so deeply pissed off at everything.

I'll go make you some icons, yah! I'm sure I can be clever and sarcastic for a moment or two...

All I could manage at the moment was funny or insulting. Give me some direction, and I'll make you some more, ya?

Yeah, I know! It wasn't just that he was so opinionated; it was that, once he was convinced you were wrong, there would be absolutely nothing you could say or do to convince him that you were even partially correct.

And he used to be so abusive in his criticisms, too. I think that was the thing that bothered me more than anything else. It is possible to criticize without making someone feel like shit.

Anyway, love the icons. Especially number 3, since "kiss my shiny white ass" used to be my catchphrase.

Hrm. Would it be possible to make an animated gif with the following quote:

"It's been said that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true. --Robert Wilensky"

I know this might be too wordy. =(

Yeah, the abuse got me, too.

I made #3 specifically for that reason.

I can try for that quote. I was also going to make you an 'everything is better on a stick' animated one. I'm just too sick to deal with animation right now...

Drop by my LJ and leave a comment to let people know if it's okay to use these or not, please.

I read this too fast, and saw "pretty civil" as "pretty evil." HA!
