I can't figure out some of your new avatars.

Aske, is that an enlarged prostate/clamped garden hose?

spaceage, is that a Borg Ed Norton Jr.?

I'm gonna hate myself when space tells us who it is because I know and cant put my finger on it.

Is it the same fruit that has been known to sometimes moderate over at a certain golf forum?

No chit, that's a fig?

I thought they looked more like insect heads.

Ah, interesting.  I've never seen a fig except in Newton form.

I'm glad you clarified that as I was just about to break out my own anti-Persimmon avatar to support your burgeoning meme.  [sm_anon]

I can't see it, but I'm guessing it's some of that gay British humor that people tune into PBS late at night to pretend like they think is funny.

It actually means

The usual V for Victory Winnie used was the other way round, palm facing out, he's actually telling someone to
there.

He was a cheeky chappie.

 :)

This is the actual V for Victory sign....

It depends on which way the fingers are as to whether it's insulting or friendly.

More fun since it's said to go back to fighting the French where English longbowmen would show their fingers in this palm to self manner to show that they still had them.  The frogs were said to remove the fingers from prisoners so they couldn't fire bows.  Not 100% confirmed, but nice anyway.

Agincourt baby.

We call it being flagged off as opposed to being flipped the bird, which is the middle finger, palm inward, obviously.

That's not why I chose that particular pic.

My son said he was cool when I did an image search for blue ranger and it was already small enough not to have to mess with the size.  He thinks he is doing a bunny ears shadow show.

The other ones didn't look erm, fully manly. 

The fingers thing is just an extra gesture of defiance by the man who puts on the suit, which I thought was fitting for my hero who fights injustice and the system from the inside.

Power up, baby.

FWIW, the avatar uploader here auto-sizes images to fit its requirements.  Unlike some other site I know ...

Getting late on the thread but knew it was a fig.  Got several of those trees back home but unfortunately I'm never there when they get ripe to eat them right off the tree.  Great stuff!
