I only saw sexual themes in these two.
I can't figure out what ThudanBlunder means by the last one, though.

ROTFLOL!!!
Na, the picture of TB, would be way larger, probably 4*3m in the centre of my living room. 
OK, I'm not going to use any of those spoonerisms, just simply becuase they're too funny to look at.  I feel privelliged though to be offered funny spoonerisms like that.
I'm gonna change back now. I don't like it... 
P.S. Nice editing, by the way.

Actually, that was a simple cut-paste-crop job on MSPaint; I can use Photoshop half-decent, but only when I need to.

I know what you mean. I can't stand paint in general, it annoys me too much. 
For anyone who cared I passed my Learner's Permit Test with flying colours (100%) . Hehe, I was in and out in 4 minutes . The waiting for them to fix everything took over an hour though

When I got my Leaner's Permit, I was at the DMV for like an hour waiting, then took the test in like 2 min.

Haha! The DMV is always a trip... and unfortunately it gets no better as you get older. That's what happens with government employees
BTW, I forgot to mention it yesterday, but Happy 16th Birthday!

Thanks. Especially government workers in Australia, so I have heard. Guess we really are the lucky country.

As for age... |

I still stand by ecoist. He is more than 5 times the age of other active members  . Do you know anyone older, that is still active?

More than five times? That would put him at least a decade beyond the oldest known living person on earth. And probably over two centuries.

LOL!
Woops, probably should have worded it a little better. Sorry if I offended you ecoist, if you look at this. I meant youngest members, who are younger than me, by a couple years, so that should clear it all up.

Um, I don't think it actually is. And towr is not that much older than me, I know it's not him. If you know who it is, please state it, because I have no idea as who is the oldest in age...

How can you possibly know who here is the oldest (in age)? There are 10000+ members, many of which do not disclose their age (albeit some of them aren't even human beings...).

If you ignore the ones that haven't posted in a year, there's a lot less.
Of course there's no way to really know, but you can speculate based on the ages you do know.
