Is the village he’s staying in near where you live?

^Haha I wish, unfortunately I’m not rich.

 

In the end I chose ‘dear Matt’ as I wrote in a casual and hopefully funny style. Come on Damon, send me back a two sentence letter 😉

^Can you mouse over them? They should be titled.

If not,

the left one is an overlay/combination of the Irish flag and the Scottish flag, to represent my Scotch-Irish heritage, and the right one is the flag of South Vietnam, to represent my Vietnamese heritage

I've been up on the mountain, and I've seen his wondrous grace,
I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

Maaatttttt Dammoonnnn for sure. Imitating a zombie (or the voice over guy for the SNL intro) is sure to win you style points.

Also, bumble bees are very,,, good

Step 1: Find flags on the internet
Step 2: Download flags
Step 3: Make them tiny – if your phone or computer won’t do this you can use https://imageresizer.com/

*Please do not have GIANT FLAGS that cover half your post in your signature. Mine are about 10-15 pixels tall
Step 4: Upload to signature

Step 5 (optional, HTML posting only): Change the titles. The image title should show up when you mouse over the image and it says “unnamed.jpg” or, if you’re sophisticated like me, “AMEEEERRICCCAAAAA” a-hard-days-night-george-10
Step 6 (optional): Brag about your nice new flags and invite people to scratch their heads saying “what are they?” instead of mousing over them/reverse image searching/generally being nosy

*remembers Matt Damon in The Talented Mr. Ripley and cries because I was scarred by the ending scene and the whole movie was very stressful overall but at the same time amazing* 

 

Oh and I also added a few new thingamabobs to my sig:

Screenshot-2020-05-13-at-6.26.06-PM.pngImage Enlarger

In addition to my “Julia ” quote and “Life in Wartime” quote I got a lil’ American flag (which was there for little bit before), a little pup holding the bisexual flag (because I’m proud of being gay or smth and also I thought it was cute bc doggo!!!!!!!!) and she/her pronoun button thingy (to just establish that I am, in fact, a ~~lady~~ or smth idk they just look neat and pretty and sort of give my sig purpose ig) 

 

Also I would put heritage flags but like my heritage is extensive and just a lot of white people so unless they make a combined Italian-Scottish-Hungarian-Welsh-Polish flag then……a-hard-days-night-paul-10a-hard-days-night-paul-10

Yeah, I’m sure I was simplifying a bit – just the main ones, the recent surnames are Scottish and Irish but there’s quite possibly English/Welsh/American Indian in there as well.

Lol does anyone remember when I put Walry’s badge in my signature last April Fools day and accidentally left it enormous overnight?

I bet if I hadn’t done that we wouldn’t have been found out so quick… then again, I suppose it was inevitable, Bee Gee is too clever 🙂

Perfectly sums up ‘Star Wars’ (swearing included for anyone who hasn’t watched Malcolm Tucker, if you have then you’ll know that swearing is a certainty).
