I may just be a stick in the mud, but I don't appreciate "the shocker" avatars that two of our members have.

For those that don't know what it means,  here is a definition.

I read this forum at work, and there are usually people behind me. Granted, I don't think that they would understand what "the shocker" is, but I still don't appreciate it. Our internet filtering is pretty loose here, and I would like to keep it that way.

There is a huge differece between starting a post marked with NKS or NSFW and using something like that for your avitar. I can avoid the NSFW threads if I want, but I can't avoid the avitars.

I'm not asking for censorship, I'm asking the people who have these avitars to change them out of respect for their fellow members.

That is ridiculous.  

I had never heard of that gang before.

Shocker for life.....

Word!

bwaahahahahahahaha

I had no idea what it was.  I assume you are talking about an avatar that has "shock" and "awe" over the fingers?  I had no idea what it referred to.

At any rate, I don't think the avatars themselves are NWS, anymore than an avatar of sign language would be NWS.

On another note, was the "shocker" in a movie or something?  Why all the sudden interest?  I find the odds of two people on one board using it pretty high unless there has been some recent media exposure.

For example, how did you know to be offended by a drawing of a hand? :mrgreen:

Well if you hadn't posted this I would have never knew...  thanks

I have no idea where it came from, or where I heard about it first. It wasn't recently, though. The first time that I remember hearing about it was about 5 years ago when a friend explained what it ment.

yes you are the only one,  GO COUGARS!!!!

Its been taken off, so I don't  "offend" anyone. I mean come on it was just a drawing. Plus at work shouldn't you be WORKING and not f'in off on the internet?

The Shocker:  Not yet offensive to the general public.

Im workin my arse off today, and i am able to surf the net while workin. How do you know what his job is?

Really should be more careful with how you phrase things.

i read an article once about the origin of the shocker.  it was started in a high school years back

LoL  I read that too...


It's funny-people really need to lighten up  

maybe they need a shocker?

You seriously crack me up...oops, can I say crack?

SOMEONE IN THE WORLD HAS HAD A HARD TIME WITH AN ADDICTION TO COCAINE. PLEASE DO NOT USE ANY REFERENCES TO COCAINE SUCH AS "Crack" As it offends me. Thank you and have a nice day.

I seem to have made quite an ass of myself. I never really thought of myself as overly conservative or uptight, but perhaps it's time to revisit those possibilities.

Believe it or not, I wasn't calling you out. My intention was simply to see what other people thought. Since I seem to be the only one bothered by it, there really wasn't any reason to take it down.

I take it that you don't get breaks where you're from. I get 15 minutes every 4 hours.

with a 1/2 hr for lunch i hope

I don't get paid for lunch, so I could take a lot longer than that. Do most jobs give a 1/2 hour paid lunch? I've never had a job that did, but I had this conversation with a co-worker recently and this is his first job that didn't have a paid 1/2 hour lunch.

no no i didnt mean paid.  i get the same as you.  1/2 hr paid, 1/2 hr not paid.  i work for 2.5 hrs, 1/2 break, 2.5 hrs, 1/2 break, then 2.5 more hrs.

Is it me or are the people on this board ridiculously conservative?
LIGHTEN UP FRANCIS!

is it me, or is "goin' to town with one in the brown!" unbelievably hilarious? in a texan accent?
