The 4 Fs symbol, a variation on the ancient swastika, can be found on the monogram of
the Turneschaft, a German Gymnastics Society founded in 1811 by Friedrich Ludwig Jahn.
The Fs stand for the German words "Frisch, Frei, Frölisch, and Fromm"
("Hardy, Free, Cheerful, and God-fearing").

I use it because it is the symbol used by the band Jawbreaker. One of the best bands that ever existed.

My avatar is from the cover of the Deftones album White Pony. I use this because I think Deftones is a very good band and because It's nice and quiet, no flashy stuff, but still sexy...just like me! :p
 
I got this v-card tag after expressing possible vagina envy when someone posted an engagingly friendly-looking, pink, tentacled dildo in the v-pocket thread. Spock flashing the VC gang sign is a meager attempt to deal with the psychic shame. After I am cleansed I will return to an avatar featuring either tentacles, a moustache, or a calabash pipe. or all 3.

edit: just changed it.

:lol What is that from? It was playing in Hollywood video when I was there a few weeks ago and the clerk and I started talking about the powerglove and then MST3K.

The Wizard, starring the ever loveable Fred Savage and the premier of Super Mario Brothers 3 to the US.

Duke Eriks (Erik Magnusson 1282-1318) seal from 1300 sometime.

I thought it was a nice picture of a knight.

Mine is from the cdi Zelda game, and was created by a very cool fellow GAFer. And I'm embarassed to admit that I forgot who. I think it was Scrow. Anyway, thanks again!

For years, I looked for a video of a monkey washing a cat in a sink. All I could find was a very small animated GIF. Then, one glorious night, the Daily Show played the clip out of the blue. I recorded the show on my computer and from that video, I painstakingly constructed what I believe is the finest animated GIF of a monkey washing a cat that has ever graced the Internets.


first person to say it's not really a monkey wins nothing!

Can't get the stink off
He's been hanging round for days
Comes like a comet
Suckered you but not your friends
One day he'll get to you
Teach you how to be a holy cow

You do it to yourself you do
And that's what really hurts is
You do it to yourself just you
You and no-one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself

Don't get my sympathy
Hanging out the 15th floor
You've changed the lock 3 times
I still comes reeling through the door
One day I'll get to you
And teach you how to get to purest Hell

You do it to yourself you do
And that's what really hurts is
You do it to yourself just you
You and no-one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself

I always make my own avatars, always have ever since I started hanging here at GAF more than 4+ years ago. It's a nice way to keep my creative spirit burning. :)

It's been a while since I've seen the original video, but wasn't he ringing a bell or something?

I made mine after realizing how many weird internet fads revolve around something dancing around (Badger, bananas, hampsters, etc).

don't forget the dancing baby
 
I dunno who made the dancing Mega Man GIF, but I edited it to reflect a utopian future where Mega Man becomes black and Afro'ed for great justice.

Also, it looks closer to what I look like now. :D
