Check in here if you have a L0oniX fly!

I love these flies.... I wish I could thank the LORD OF THE FLIES!!!

[LiberalArkie]

1. What this one is FREE, no swatter going to touch mine.

[MrMickeysMom]

2. Fly-Boy gives it one wing UP!

Way to go!

[w0nderer]

7. Some artistic person could possibly

download the 'swatted one' and edit it to make the fly break the swatter

not artistic myself
but they are simply animated gifs so for someone with artistic talent it shouldn't be hard

and it'd show 'not quitting anyway'

[MrMickeysMom]

14. That's beyond MY talent, alright!

But, a really good idea!

I'm just great at being obnoxious!

[w0nderer]

21. Flies of a feather... LOL i do obnoxious really well n/t

[LiberalArkie]

23. I want that!!!!

[hifiguy]

51. The "swatted fly" graphic is one of the more childish things

I have ever seen on DU. But then I consider the source. No class at all.

[LiberalArkie]

59. I think of one where the swatter breaks and the fly is still flying would be great silent protest.

[w0nderer]

68. visualization

fly walking

swatter comes into frame
swatter pulls back

fly flies out..close to 'camera' grins widely..flies into background

flies back towards camera and breaks swatter

grins at camera, winks
flies and lands and starts walking as if nothing happened


that'd be optimal (no i can't do that) my curse is seeing 'cool art' (i think it's cool and i'm not sure i care about other opinions) i can never realize

[MrMickeysMom]

105. Ah, you may not care about other's opinions, but...

... you could always gif your way into telling them to eat some!

[hifiguy]

117. OK.

Best laff I've had in days.

[w0nderer]

118. oh i'm GOOD at making people eat that n/t

[cwydro]

158. How VERY clever. eom

[TheBlackAdder]

109. DId you inspect the element of that swatted fly? Who created it and the file name? nt

[hifiguy]

113. No. I saw it by accident.

I try to avoid that poster the same way I try to avoid plague rats.

ETA: just went and checked it. ANOTHER poster I avoid like a plague rat. No surprise at all.

[artislife]

147. Really...there is a churlishness in creating something like that...nt

[rhett o rick]

114. Yes I did and I was shocked, shocked I say. I bet it was a hit in the Group. nm

[w0nderer]

122. i'm sure it was

wish we had some cool artists


btw hi again rhett, yes i'm still provoking, yes i'm still nasty, yes words still have meanings

thanks for that 'pat on a back' you sent me early on (you prob don't even remember)

[rhett o rick]

143. I don't remember. Was it a low post count warning? nm

[w0nderer]

144. naah i was provoking on language

to exemplarize how DU locks that down fast if it's against certain groups, but not against others
(exposing alert hunters)

[rhett o rick]

148. Well, good to see you still plugging away. nm

[artislife]

146. I just put them all on ignore

They showed the small meaness of their stony little hearts.

Why would anyone want to be exposed to that?

[MrMickeysMom]

3. Oooohhh.... Hit ME!!!

Awe.... You wouldn't swat ME, would you? I'm too cute!

[darkangel218]

4. How do I add one to my sig line?

I would like to have one.

[jeff47]

5. Right-click on one of the flies in someone's sig.

a menu will come up with something like "Copy Image URL" or "Copy image location". Hit that.

To double-check you got the right thing, paste the address you just copied into your browser's address bar. You should see just the fly.

Then in DU, go to "My Profile" on the top-right. Scroll down to "Signature". Hit edit, and paste the URL into the text box that appears. Then click "Update" below the text box.

Note: This requires the other person to keep the fly at that URL. They might move it or delete it in the future. But doing your own fly is a little trickier.

[darkangel218]

26. Awesome, thank you!

It worked!

[MrMickeysMom]

8. Easy, darkangel...

Just visit here: http://animated-gifs.org/animals/flies/?galleryPage=5

if you want the big obnoxious ones that I added (copy image address)

Or, if you want one like the sig line, you might have to do the same over this image and add to your sig line:


Time's flying, so get yours NOW!

[darkangel218]

27. Thank you! It worked!

[MrMickeysMom]

31. Too COOL!

(heh-heh)

[darkangel218]

32. You know what we need?

A gif of a swatter swatting the asshole who tried swatting us!

If anyone knows how to create one, would be great!

[w0nderer]

70. i had similar idea

wish i had the artistic skill

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027324919#post68

great minds

[darkangel218]

74. Ha!!! No kidding!!!

I hope someone who knows code writing reads your post!!!! I love it!!!!

X

[w0nderer]

82. not code writing , artistic

code i can do (some)
those pictures are animated gifs

like a long series of pics that runs
kinda like the animations one makes at bottom of a block of paper
i just have zero artistic skill

[darkangel218]

87. Ahhh OK lol!

I know nothing about codes and animation, as you can tell.

[w0nderer]

96. technically i know about animation and code

artistically i know ...nothing


but my code works and my animations look...bad!

actually if you can draw, you can animate gifs (which is why i can't animate gifs)


eitherway i'm sure your heart is in the right place, if not...hope you got health insurance

nice angel
is there one with burnt wings for me?
<<<guess that's as close as i get

[senz]

50. lol, I've never told you how much I enjoy your sig line kitties.

You're very good with gifs -- I guess you're gif-ted! I think you used to have a huge waterfall that I thought might be Niagara Falls.

We could drive 'em crazy with all the flies ....

[darkangel218]

57. Thing is, our flies are immortal.

They can try "swatting" us all they want, we only multiply!!!!

Cheers!!!!!!

[senz]

61. lol, there ya go!

[MrMickeysMom]

69. Yeah, that WAS Niagara Falls

LOL!

... I was trying to be kind to Skinner to not slow down DU with as many gifs as I COULD use...

[merrily]

85. ! gif-ted

Made me smile again.

[senz]

99. Always nice to make you smile.

I wonder if certain people might enjoy this?



After all, we do outnumber them.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. I've got one!

[MrMickeysMom]

11. AwwwwRIGHT!

Fly-Boy doesn't have opposable thumbs, but gives it another wing UP!

[jeff47]

9. First time I've ever had a sig on DU. (nt)

[catchnrelease]

178. I've never had one before either

But I wanted to show my admiration for Loonix.

[polly7]

10. Got mine. nt.

[MrMickeysMom]

12. Woo-WHO!!!

That's CHERRY!

[polly7]

13. LOL. I love your gifs!! nt.

[MrMickeysMom]

15. Ain't they the greatest?

Uh HUH!

[polly7]

17. LOL.

You know, I'm actually very bug-phobic, and this great big fly - brrrrrrrr. Look at those bulby eyes and those hairy legs -


The little fly, I like ...... as long as he stays on my screen.

[MrMickeysMom]

33. True, plus...

I'm sure it best represents what I'm trying to say here....

[Hydra]

16. Here! n/t

[MrMickeysMom]

22. Where? ....

....

Oh, THERE!

[Autumn]

18. You can thank the LORD OF THE FLIES. We know where resides the LORD OF THE FLIES!!!

[Hekate]

29. Uhhhh, have you actually read The Lord of the Flies by Golding? I'm guessing not.

The novel has a group of schoolboys crash-landed on an isolated Pacific island, pilot dead, no adult supervision. They devolve into savagery in a very chilling manner.

Also Be'el'ze'bub, the original Lord of the Flies....

The little fly gif was amusing, if annoying to those of us who kept trying to brush it off our screens. But I wouldn't be too eager to paste the grandiose moniker on its creator.

[Autumn]

37. There are those of us who know who understand and appriciate MrMickeysMom's

OP. If the gif amused you or annoys you it matters nothing to me. Those of us who miss seeing it in L0on's posts appreciate the OP for the words in the OP not something you see behind it.

[Hekate]

42. Okay, Lord of the Flies it is.

DU Itself has devolved this year, and far be it from me to try to defend a fellow DUer from an inadvertent poorly chosen literary reference if his/her friends don't want any help.

[MrMickeysMom]

55. Help?

Nah..... We're BEYOND help...

but, here's a 3-D aunt for you, just for caring....

[merrily]

101. I graded your wonderfully concise book report on Lord of the Flies. You got an A+.

[MrMickeysMom]

38. I did years ago...

I literally do not mean to confuse my tribute to the person who used the sig line with the book.

You know... I hear if you put a just a little fake poop on the corner of your screen, they'll be distracted and you won't be as annoyed!

[larkrake]

19. we need a fly with a human head

[Heeeeers Johnny]

25. Help meeeee. help meeeeee...

or if you prefer, a human with a fly head...

[img][/img]

[polly7]

28. Ack!

No offense, but I've gotta get out of this thread ....

[Heeeeers Johnny]

35. If you find that squeamish

then you definitely wouldn't appreciate the 1986 remake with Jeff Goldblum

[hifiguy]

73. Or any other Cronenberg movie.

[Marty McGraw]

157. Just wait until cybordyne

Get's a hold of your bug!

[w0nderer]

93. it's ok

we know you don't like bugs
so it's ok if you (sorry..i'm really sorry but someone HAS to do this) bug out!
*ducks*

[merrily]

34. That was L0oniX fly, not looney fly.

60. Hmm, the bottom photo

might be appropriate for posting to the inventor of the swatted fly some use as sig lines...

[think]

20. Flying..

[MrMickeysMom]

24. Check!

Red Army fly approves!

[merrily]

30. What's a L0onix fly?

[MrMickeysMom]

36. Actually....

L0oniX, merrily.

Sort of my salute to his sig line.

[merrily]

39. I was trying to make you smile bc the fly is in my sig line. I failed.

Ya win some and ya lose some, but ya never stop trying.

[MrMickeysMom]

41. HEY!

[cascadiance]

40. I was actually thinking it was an ant, which I get occasionally on my screen...

... which sometimes has me trying to swat with my hand what's not really there!

[MrMickeysMom]

44. Shit!

Now I have to find some fucking aunt gif!!!!

[-none]

43. That was not a L0oniX fly, or even a bug.

It was a feature.

[MrMickeysMom]

48. Is it a creature feature?

Or just something to just fuck with your head?

I want the 2nd choice!

[-none]

56. Don kno. But he had had it for years.

Too bad we can't ask him.
That was criminal banning him. It was like he was ambushed.
Other people can rack up hundreds of timeouts over the years, but they are still around.
Like they say the good die young.

[w0nderer]

106. gonna post this to main op in this thread too

but is anyone in touch with him so he know's he's missed and we want him back?

[hifiguy]

45. Added it to my sigline the very day.

In tribute to a fine DUer.

[madfloridian]

46. Me.

Anything!

Just visit here: http://animated-gifs.org/animals/flies/?galleryPage=5

if you want the big obnoxious ones that I added (copy image address)

Or, if you want one like the sig line, you might have to copy image address over the image in my sig line.

[malaise]

65. Thanks MrMickeysMom

[pintobean]

58. I always found it annoying

I blocked it with adblock plus. It's much more efficient than a fly swatter.

[darkangel218]

62. Awwww...

Last edited Sat Nov 7, 2015, 07:15 PM - Edit history (1)

I guess you have a lot more "blocking" to do.

[w0nderer]

115. adblock plus will block it from the location it is on

<<__ so adblock could lock that down

upload it elsewhere, the internet is full of free webspace

[pintobean]

195. I don't know why you would want

people to go out of their way to annoy other DUers, but blocking an image only takes a couple of seconds - a lot less time than uploading a gif to another hosting site and getting it into one's sig line. I've blocked the same image from multiple hosting sites. Doing it again is no biggie.

[senz]

104. Kinda like this?

we are everywhere ...

[darkangel218]

107. Bwahahahhahahahaha!!

Perfect!!!

[pintobean]

125. Like what?

[marle35]

152. I disabled all signatures because of it

There are probably a few others I'm not sorry to miss, either.

It's just distracting.

[pnwmom]

190. Thanks for the tip, marle35.

It was a meaningless and annoying visual distraction.

Now it's gone.

[marle35]

197. Yup, for those wondering...

Go to "My Account" > scroll down to Preferences > Select "Remove" next to "User signature lines on posts"

[Capt. Obvious]

189. I've done that with some sig lines

Lots of avatars too.

[pintobean]

196. Yup. It's a great tool for customizing one's experience.

I block a lot of animated gifs in sig lines. I block more avatars on Discussionist.

[Capt. Obvious]

204. It really is

DU offers many tools to customize your experience. More people should take advantage of it.

[MrMickeysMom]

78. OooH!

Can't catch THAT one!

[merrily]

98. The L0oniX fly cannot be swatted! Even by mean-spirited DUers.

[darkangel218]

102. Nope, they are immortal.

Let them try though, its funny! For they know they can't possibly make us disappear.

[merrily]

103. Invisibility is one of my super powers, though.

[w0nderer]

133. ooh i like that one, close to what we discussed n/t

[senz]

71. Count me in as a fly person

who appreciated, and misses, L0oniX.

We shall remember.

[MrMickeysMom]

A salute!

I only say we because as two great men have told us. We are the change we are looking for ~ Obama and this campaign isn't about me, it's about you. Bernie wants to give us the power. Obama paved the way for people to start thinking that way.

You all are bugging me

Either way your point is moot

95. Apparently not. You're still here.

For a white guy

I had fun with this...

To LOoniX!



And.... to his detractors ....

110. Well, they started it.

It's not our fault.

[artislife]

151. This has been such a fun read, due largely to your additions

Thank you!!

[MrMickeysMom]

156. It's like synergy...

... man!

All of a sudden I couldn't stop myself. I think we are living in some interesting times, which calls people to do things a bit more creatively... This is what I love about DU.

124. side note

is anyone in touch outside of DU with L0oniX
he should be told we miss him and are doing this stuff, that way maybe he'll come back when he can and DU will be stronger for it

[jeff47]

126. There is no "when he can" from an admin ban.

At least, nothing automatic.

[w0nderer]

129. well it's my understanding (admittedly noob poster) but i've lurked since 200x

that the admins normally do 'amnesty' after elections

even so

the ways to lock down someone on internet are
MAC (if you can get it..not through firewall)
IP
username
email

all four can be changed
yes the fifth is
posting pattern/type
well oops

Yep they PPR'd me while I was on MIRT. No warning. I only posted a link and some info about what others were doing. Never suggested that anyone should write in a candidate. Apparently they don't want anyone to even be thinking about writing in a candidate.

Skinner needs to get the hypocrisy over there under control or he will be losing his bread and butter in a few years because it is turning into a Right-wing echo chamber. The name barely fits now and he started out in 2000 so on target too.
Why is it the long term members being banned all seem to be on the more liberal side?

is the fact that people could go ahead with a pledgy pledge to appease their feefees, and do whatever the hell they want in the voting booth. It isn't a court of law.

Sorry you got banned.

36. I'm glad some folks have adopted your insect gif.

I was hoping somebody would have the balls to adopt my NYC_SKP avatar Ginny-dog, but nothing yet.

Yes about MIRT, I wasn't on MIRT when I was kicked out but had been on it before.
I was a GD host however and that was a fucking mess with Clinton supporters openly discussing how to correctly alert on other hosts, like myself.

Totally fucked up. Now an entire slew of banned members were allowed back after mending fences. I wonder if they will have a change of heart over you and me.

I'm not holding my breath, but I'm glad you're here, Lefty!

I could get back on no problem. I'd just sign up from my work box. Restore is a whole other matter. If they'd restore me I'd go back but I'm not interested in starting over and pretending to be someone else. Glad to see you here Skip. I hang out on reddit too.

131. Can't catch this elusive fly...

for Loonix.

Maybe miine is just a bug. Are we sure the Loonix one was a fly not a bug? If mine does not meet specifications I will find another, but I liked the fact that it was being persued by a clumsy inept (though cute) predator who couldn't catch it.

[passiveporcupine]

136. I don't see a lot of flies here

What do you call a fly with no wings?

A walk.

I see a lot of walks!

I actually never thought they were flies. I thought they were little gnats or something. I do think they are cute. I have little gnats that crawl around on my monitor, and I sometimes think that's what I'm seeing.

I also hope L0onix becomes one of the rare exceptions who are allowed to come back at some point. Has anyone who talks to him on Discussionist asked him why he posted that thread? It is still very confusing, considering the sticky he posted about not doing what he did.

[MrMickeysMom]

166. Maybe not..

... but they sure are BIG !

It moves more like a spider than a fly.
