| | | My new sig.
Before anyone asks, and has to wait sometime for an answer. The reason I changed my sig was to honor the memories of twelve men who died in a helicopter crash several years ago. They were great friends, and great soldiers. They did their jobs unquestioningly, and without thought of repayment, or their safety. They were in the 66th Rescue helicopter squad stationed out here at Nellis AFB... So, this is for them.

| | | @Vicsun: Is your avatar possibly a screenshot from "Un chien andalou"?
@Demortis: Is this a thread for comments or is it some kind of memorial? It is hard to tell.

| | | This was an attempt to explain my sig before anyone started gettin their knickers in a twist because of it. And so I didnt have to explain myself 15 times.

| | Yes, it's from Un Chien Andalou. I like that film.
To everyone else reading this, feel free to comment on my pretty eyes too. As a matter of fact any (non-overtly negative) discussion about me is welcome. ~  ~ |

It seems that lost of members here change their sigs every now and then without problems, but what do I know...maybe their PM boxes explode by the large amount of questions flowing in. Quote: |

Have you seen L'Âge d'Or? I recall that I liked it better than The Dog, but I don't remember why...maybe it was only because I was so sex-fixated at that age.
Any special reason you choose a cut from the razor scene as avatar?

| | I haven't seen L'Âge d'Or, but I now plan on remedying this. And I don't have a particular reason for choosing that scene for my avatar (I can conjure up a few from the top of my head if the need arises, though ), apart from it being the most memorable and recognizable one from the film due to its shock-value.
