Copywrong infringement, maybe.

You know what? Scr*w the avatar nonsense.

I've got my own little club of girls here. (I won't call them sisters in this context).

The rest of you can just stay away (unless you're a girl).


I'm changin' the title of this thread to 'The Hottub Club'.

If that is you, then you might need pay him for advancing your portfolio.

I remember feeling a bit violated when I saw that Chroot [I think] was using my original signature - Keep the company of those who seek the truth and run from those who have found it.

Hey! I used it first. I own it!

I wanted to mention it. I mistake Ivan with you since then:-p

Well crap, we can't have that.

Are you just saying it reminds you of Dave's avatar? I thought Dave meant that he had literally used this one before.

I don't think 50 something with a beard qualifies as a unique identity. Tsu seems to confirm that I'm not losing it here, not yet! :smile:

I look at your avatar and think that's Dave's post for some seconds and I just recognize that's you when I see your name but yet when I leave the topic I think I've read 1 of Dave's posts. That's really weird:smile:

Looking good Dr. Dave and Dr. Seeking, you both look quite intimidating and sinister with your new avatars, like you are both ready to take over the world!

By the way, I hope these sexy lab assistants can "assist" Dr. Dave in his investigation of the mysterious physical properties of the "Hot Bath":

Additionally, what makes these sexy lab assistants attracted to their genius scientist overlords in the first place? I think we should investigate this property as well. It may be a new attraction force beyond our current standard model, here are some sample photos I took from a control experiment of the genius overlords:

Here is an archive record of Dr. Holocaust and the Savage Bandito with an interview regarding their lab assistants' die hard crushes on them:

It took until a second page to establish that Ivan snagged it off the web, but yours is actually you... and they just LOOK like fraternal twins?

Well as I pointed out, both Dr. Dave and Seeking really are sinister in their avatars.

Heh, no, I thought he was saying that he used this avatar before. I knew it wasn't Dave. :biggrin:

Berkeman thought it might be James Randi.

As if I would do that to myself!
