It's actually a mish-mash of that KFC logo and the Hound's face. The hound is a character in "Game of Thrones". You should watch it... well worth the time.
Do remember to keep a few rotten tomatoes around to throw at the tv when... something unexpected happens...

[Drich]

I think Drich was simply trying to live up to his "most controversial" award in thread is all.

He's just being an asshole.  He made similar insults when I won an award.  That's not controversial.  That's being a classless ass.

what did I say? something about you raising the bar in these forums?? I can see how that could be offensively. I honestly think you are one of the best debaters in the forum and vote every year accordingly, because you raise the bar as you are one of the few who actually research what it is we are discussing. While other's are well read, they can confuse facts and it's been my experience even falsify fact (intentional or not) while you consistently produce a high quality thought provoking thread.

Yours is a 'face'/avatar I do not always enjoy seeing, because of the few mistakes I have made here you have been the one to point them out accurately.

That said...
you like the rest put far too much emotion into your work and take far too much offense when properly corrected. Which spill over when ever I do something light hearted like my comments here. You all take them far too harshly. If I were to wear my heart on my sleeve as most of you do I would go home crying everyday, because of all the "Classless ass" comments made in my direction. However when I make a mild comment criticizing one of you, you all act as if their could be no greater offense I could give!

(which to tell the truth is all apart of the fun) but never the less it does get old.. you guys forming a lynch mob and then play the victims

[robvalue]

Good to see you back FaF

[Longhorn]

No way poca, there's bad stuff on that show

[pocaracas]

No way poca, there's bad stuff on that show

well... only if you're not in the 18+ age group.
I'd expect a spy to have seen some nasty things in her life...

[Longhorn]

Having seen nasty stuff is exactly why I don't like watching nasty stuff. Imma steer clear of that show until nasty stops bothering me

Three votes?  Three fucking votes?  Just try cashing those cheques NOW, bitches.  *mutter mutter grumble whinge mutter*

Seriously, congrats to the winners.  I love Award Season!  :D

Boru

If it makes you feel any better, you got one of those votes from me! And I'm kiiiinda a big deal in the bunny realm. You see, in BunBun land, we don't have need for such things as "voting" or "awards". E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y is special and awarded, by me, the Supreme Leader, on a constant basis. Of course, the act of hanging out with a bunch of mammals that can't control their own output tends to lend itself to some prEtty awkward moments

But that's just when I think to myself, "what would Brian sodding Boru do?" 

Poop. The answer is always poop.

I think the voters weren't clear upon exactly what they were voting for in this category this year, hence the accidental living embodiment of atrocious miscarriage of justice that you can surely see, here? Weirdest member is not equal to =/= biggest weirdo on the forum. Granted Violet can be both of those sEparate categories at times, but she puts effort into her weirdness for the sake of weirdness!
But this year it's like "y'all" found the forum hobo digging in a garbage can for some yoga riki macchiato and thought to yourselves, "yep. That's weird."

I call for a re-vote on this specific award, STAT!

[Brian37]

That is flat out absurd. You have been on this board just about as long as I have, not months, but years. If it were a lynch mob, you would have been gone a long time ago.

Now this includes ME too, 

1. WE, both you and I are not admins or mods

2. WE, both you and I are not forced by government law, or this site for that matter, to be on here. Nobody is forcing you OR I to post here.

3. THEY HAVE and I have seen it, booted atheists as well. They also have pulled me over too.

THEY ARE being fair to you.

You not liking our responses, does not constitute a lynch mob. You getting offended also does not constitute a lynch mob.

I have been on TONS of atheist social media pages in the past 15 years of being online. I can tell you this website goes way out of it's way to give a voice to a variety of views.

I have also been on other atheist sites that boot at the first boo without question. This is NOT one of those sites.

Stop your false persecution complex. Nobody is out to get you.
