    It's the otter at the top which makes the avatar.

    If we started a Wikipedia page for Attack Otters of the Ass, anybody want to lay bets on how long it would take to be taken down?

    It's even funnier when you realize the otter in the logo is actually a seal. :lol:

    Put it on a black T-shirt and sell it for <$20 and I'll take one.


    I imagine if we can get up twenty or so we could get someone to do a run of them.

    Okay, I know about the space submarines, the conveyor belts, and of the ass, but somehow I missed the origin story of the attack otter. Can someone clue me in?

    Y'know, I've been thinking about making up some 8.5x11 (and A4 for the Europeans) PDFs that people could print out and hang at random places in their cities with Wordforge's URL on them as a way of rounding up some new members ... this image would be perfect for it.

    Sure, nobody would know what it means, but anyone who's sufficiently intrigued by a picture of an otter captaining a submarine being launched off a conveyor belt that they bother to fire up their browser and check out the URL might just be Wordforge material. :D

    a thread called "when otters attack" around the same time as the space subs and conveyor belt launcher threads.

    things sort of snowballed from there and an in house meme was born.
