Hmm, I do not know what is expected out of the new scrapmeat on this site - but I can list some of my general interests:

Adolf Hitler
Cancer
Boats
Super Metroid
8-bit inspired Art
Phyrexia
Books
Religion
Nihilism

Other than that - I am quite random and I like Lost.

Hail Phyrexia!

DUDE WHAT THE HECK THIS IS SO WRONG TO WIRTE

Pappenheimer refers to a man called Gottfried Heinrich Graf zu Pappenheim, he was a general I believe, for the Holy Roman Empire. He fought in the Thirty-Years War, along with lots of other guys - including the Swedes. My knowledge on this has been disremembered and fragmented by the year(s) at this art school. In swedish the phrase is "Känn din Pappenheimer", I cannot really explain the meaning - possibly due to poor language skills or something... But I do have this quote I found on wikipedia (also he was a field marshal). Here is the quote:

Quote:

His name forms the key part of the Czech and German colloquialism; "we know our fellow Pappenheim's". It is used to imply tongue-in-cheek that someone has, is or will be acting in a way that is completely expected.
@Chruser: You know, we have television-technology in the lower levels of the "brook falls"-station. Although it's halls are mostly occupied by that "Atom-man", weird guy - maybe weirder than you. He should be avoided. Lost... Why do you mock me with these questions when you already know the truth!?

@King Amazon: Thank you for changing your avatar, I can now browse this forums without fear of sanity loss (1d6/1d20).

Also, on the subject of Adolf Hitler - my interest in him is not as an historian.

That is the verisimilitude. It was mildly entertaining to scare him last week. What kind of extremophile are you?

Yawgmoth 2007-05-17 04:47 PM

ARGH MY EYES, THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!

@Lenny: Because Hitler fucking rocks!
The New Adventures of Hitler, part 2.
He is also interesting as a person who in the eyes of many people personifies "evil", a concept which I find interesting.

EDIT: Psychrophile

Big words aren't cool. Learn to use under 8 letters otherwise I'll get scared.

Why do you dislike his avatar so much?

I've wondered that about a lot of people.

Seriously, it looks like a pussy. If that's "disturbing" or "ugly" or "scary" or "stupid" to you, you're probably gay.

It looks like a pussy. Get over it.

Lenny 2007-05-18 10:28 AM

I still reckon it looks like a strange white dog screwing up it's eyes.

Thanatos 2007-05-18 10:29 AM

It only sort of looks like a pussy. Just looks like a mishapen flower to me.

Orchids usually look more like pussies than the one in my avatar, I just couldn't find a good shot from the front.

Thanatos 2007-05-18 10:37 AM

BUT IT'S SO REVOLTING!!!!
ahh!!!!

Jessifer 2007-05-18 10:53 AM

I like it. *shrug*

Yawgmoth 2007-05-18 03:10 PM

It's more that it looks like some sort of Lovecraftian horror. Also, it is too white for the orchidness to be really clearly visible.

Lenny 2007-05-18 04:52 PM

Oooooh! Another one who has heard of Lovecraft, and probably the first to admit to reading it. :p

Do you read other Fantasy books, as well? In fact, what's the main genre you read?

Yawgmoth 2007-05-19 07:32 AM

I guess I mostly read horror/fantasy. Although, I try to read all sorts of books, it's just that I became interested in first Lovecraft and then Stephen King so I've read lot's of their works. Thus, I guess they tint the scale. Right now I'm in the middle of a project to read "classics", just read Catcher in the Rye and I'm beginning on Ulysses.

Books = Power = ???? = Profit. Or random.

Also, maybe I should try to post in other threads than my introduction-thread. But this forum is to big, and I am Lazyness, Destroyer of Worlds.

!King_Amazon! 2007-05-19 09:44 AM

If you don't post in another thread by tomorrow I'll ban you.

Jessifer 2007-05-19 09:52 AM

Well if that's not incentive to post, I don't know what is.
