...another inside joke...
An inside joke but one that I'd LOVE to tell.
One of my previous avatars was the insignia of the
3rd SS panzer Division. Conservatives are commonly called nazi's by the left, anyway. There were people, a few in particular, with issues over that avatar (along with some of my earlier handiwork
) and when challenged about it I blew it off as merely a German Pirate flag since there is a clear resemblance to the traditional pirate's jolly roger flag. I was joking, of course, but one them called me a liar as if that would bother me or something
. That person, who's name I won't mention, over the next few days would reply to all of my posts with "....said the boy who lied about the German Pirates" in an ill fated attempt to drive me into the corner of shame with my ears back and my tail between my legs. Didn't work,, of course, and the whole affair with that avatar only added luster to the reputation I already richly enjoyed in PPR.
I removed that avatar immediately after a moderator told me that it was against the rules of the company that owns (or hosts) WP's server and that company had complained about it.
So from now on whenever you see me end a reply with "says the boy who lied about the German pirates" you'll know the story.
