I have too many British friends. And I'm from California anyway. What can I do? Oh, I know; shut the hell up. I'll be doing that now.

He should first head to the NonCon insult thread to learn how we talk around here, you cuntswaggering zergfucker.

*So more or less like Nerds who watched too much Deadwood.

I think we need to start from the ground up here. First of all there's the matter of the face you put on for the rest of the internetted world.

Lets cut to the quick, nobody is ever impressed by admissions to insanity in signature lines. In fact, it creates the opposite of the intended effect. You might want to come off as edgy and misunderstood, but all the viewing public gets out of it is "cry some more emo kid."

to truly showcase your alluring yet unhinged personality you need to come up with some form of concise personal anecdote or short parable which relates, in an utterly kick-ass manner, these qualities.

Something like "I shot a man in Reno once, just to watch him die."

Your avatar needs to be somewhat stark, almost imposing but intriguing enough that it finds purchase in the addled minds of the forum-going masses. If there's too much going on or its indistinct you'll just be pushed aside in favor of more eye catching avatars. Take for example, an animated gif of a beating human heart.

A limited color palette is essential. red on a black background would be great for the aforementioned organ.

Speaking of organs however, never use a penis as your avatar. Just, don't.

Once you've mastered the initial steps of looking really cool you can begin to up your post-game to new levels of hotness.

Well, we can discuss this Some other time. My time is up again so I've gotta bail. I'll try not to be so much of a self-righteous douchehammer next time. Besides, Based on your observations, you would not like the only other avatars I have right now.

You can only fit in with monocles.

Monocles are in this year.

And what's up with the 'Signature and avatar are vital'? Ever since I got bored of the enraged guy, I haven't had an Avvy. Or a signature.
And I turned out fine! Popular! Respected!

...

Right?

Monocles were cool when I did it two years ago. Now they've become too Mainstream for my tastes, like, everyone has a monocle these days. Terisse, don't let those people talk you into monocles. Try something you think might be popular in a few years so you can tell all them fuckers you did it first.

(Although it might be penises.)
