So I largely kept it as a middle finger, but the struggle in Palestine has simply never died down, so I do keep it as a continuing nugget of solidarity.

I've never begun to understand it, but it does tells me "wow, this guy is obviously into social justice probably because that flag is probably significant in some way with what is going on in this world today."

My old boy Gandy. He never met a human, cat or dog he didn't love. He hated gofers and squirrels and was good at killing them. He always laid next to me quiet and watched Chiefs games. Also, he was shy about people watching him go to the bathroom and always searched for privacy. He got old and slow and didn't move fast enough and the ex-gfs dad backed over him. RIP!

The wife and I like to use things like pizza to show our little ones how fun Satan worship can be, so this just kind of stuck.

That's kind of anti-Semitic of you to say, being that your avatar is a star of David...

That's a pentagram, not a star of David.

To go along with Flybone's username origin thread, there are certainly a handful of avatars around here that I've often asked about. Baby Lee's avy was the most confusing thing ever for the longest time until I finally asked him about it. Iconic is another one in which I've never gotten a response. Why does Mr. Flopnuts have Mike Holmgren in a chiefs shirt saying "ohhh yeah" as his avatar? All relevant questions that can be answered in this thread!

To start off, my avatar comes from the character "Bufkin", who was made famous in "The Wizard of Oz" starring Audrey Hepburn. He was then reprised as a fable character in the video game "The Wolf Among Us".

By the way, I have a minor in religious history.

You accusing someone, unjustifiably, of being anti-semitic is being an asshole.
