Thanks to Captain Avatar for creating my new avatar. I tried like a million times to upload it, and followed the instructions in email to the letter. It did not work, and I got really upset, until the blood vessles in my eyes popped and then my eyes started to bleed a bit. They stopped for now, I am recovering. Just for grins I tried it one more time. It didn't look like it worked. I hit refresh like a million times, and then counted to ten to avoid another eye bleeding session. It still showed my South Park avatar. I gave up, made a post on the forum, lo and behold, there is the avatar that Captain Avatar made for me. I am so happy I could cry, only I can't or else my eyes will bleed again. Sigh, let me get out my eye drops and hope my eyes heal up a bit. I am from District 268 in the Deneb Sector of Vilani Space. |

I am so happy I could cry, only I can't or else my eyes will bleed again. Sigh, let me get out my eye drops and hope my eyes heal up a bit. Just call me Orion. Don't call me Norm, because I am not Normal and it is a shortened form of my real name. My real name is Norman, but I want people to call me by my imaginary name that I though up for a role playing character in the late 1980's because everyone makes fun of the name Norman by calling me Norm or Normal or some other variation that upsets me greatly. OB is fine as well, but it is often confused with other things like Tampons named OB and toothbrushes and other things using the initials OB. The Lord High Admiral is just a title, I can remove it from my Seti@Home name so it is less confusing to type. I am from District 268 in the Deneb Sector of Vilani Space. |

Yeah but it is funny, and if at least one person laughed over it, then it was worth the pain and suffering. :) OB is also BO backwards, BO = Body Odor, because BO don't know how to take a shower after playing sports all day. :) I am from District 268 in the Deneb Sector of Vilani Space. |

Y'all remember this from back in the '70's? "Ahh, ya doesn't has to call me Johnson! You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me Johnny or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me RayJay, or you can call me RJ... but ya doesn't hafta call me Johnson." - Raymond J. Johnson Jr. |

Y'all remember this from back in the '70's? Yeah whatever became of him? I think he is the guy who invented the calling of George W. Bush as W or Dubya or whatever. "Ahh, ya doesn't have to call him Bush! You can call him George, or you can call him Dubya, or you can call him Georgie or you can call him Skippy, or you can call him GeorgeDubya, or you can call him GW... but ya doesn't hafta call him Bush." I think that was to help prevent confusing him with his father George H. W. Bush, yet many call them Jr. and Sr., not knowing that they have different middle-names. Such is ignorance, and many call both of them "Bush" thus adding to the confusion that they are in fact the same person and not father and son. Yet this worked to his advantage when running for President in 2000 and 2004, because strong supporters of George H. W. Bush thought that George W. Bush was the same person and voted for him again. Even Saddam was fooled and had the death warrant for George H. W. Bush applied to George W. Bush, because he thought they were the same person. This caused George W. Bush much confusion when he thought that Saddam and Osama were the same person as well, and also thought that Iraq was a part of Afghanistan and that they were the same country. But what they don't know is that Paul was the Walrus and not John, yet many people get confused over that as well and think that Paul was the one shot by a crazed fan because the Walrus is a symbol for death in some cultures. Then those same people confuse John Lennon for Raymon J. Johnson Jr. because both were very popular in the 1970's anyway, and those same people did a lot of illicit drugs in the 1970's that killed off a lot of brain cells, so they cannot tell the difference anyway. What does this have to do with me, and calling me OB or Orion or LHAOB? Who cares! I'm not the frelling Walrus, don't ask me. I am from District 268 in the Deneb Sector of Vilani Space. |
