My avatar is a painting by Salvador Dali. I beleive it´s called "Birth of the new man" or some such (name wasn´t in english).

Exactly, this painting is called "Birth of new man" (but american man)
Hey, I love Salvador Dalí´s paintings. Have you ever watched his painting about clocks. He espressed his dreams in his paintings.

My avatar? I´m always changing the avatar. This I have now, is an Spanish comic that I like so much.

Last I checked that fool got his arse nailed for pedophilia through IP tracing, though this has been unconfirmed. On that note, HA!

He's been banned from the site so no he is no longer posting.

WHAT? Was Yarl Soutan banned? Why? There are many people here who say the most horrible things.

I see your point Chucky, but what about your nickname. The only Chucky I know is the diabolic doll. Do you remember this movie?
Well, the comic that I have in my avatar is called Chuky (without c) as his artist name. He´s from Málaga and he´s hilarious.

Hi,

There is a 'Chucky' jester too. A jester is like a clown (but not a clown). My name is nothing to do with the evil doll... ...

Yarl Soutan was a nice person but he was on this website at a wrong point in his life. He migt return some day when he has changed and is willing to be nicer to people (and nicer to himself too).

Is a jester the word used to name buffons in Middle Ages? I suppouse this word has now other connotations apart from the original one. It´s a nice word. Buffons provided others with entertainment and they were the only people who was allowed to express their critisms to upper classes.

Thanks for your explanation about Yarl Soutan. Anyway, I don´t think anyone has tried to undertand him. This is world, We don´t waste a minute to try to understand each other.

...a 'buffon'? I don't know what a 'buffon' is. I know that Italy's goalkeeper is called Gianluigi Buffon though. Anyway, your last line is very reflective and important, and it is very applicable to modern times. I mean, how many people genuinely try to understand other people when they (the other people) are misbehaving? Typically, when a person misbehaves, we all want to forget about them. We should learn to understand them, however, because through understanding we can help them.

Yeah, I also know this goalkeeper.
I missed an "o" I think.
"The term has been used in English since at least 1549, and it was probably borrowed from the Old French. The French actually took the word from the Italians, who referred to a jester as a buffone, a word derived from buffare, a word which means “to puff up the checks.” Buffare is believed to be imitative in origin. In any case, the English, along with many other European nations, had court jesters, buffoons, and clowns who entertained people with their antics in the Middle Ages".

Yes, 'court jesters' - that sounds more like Chucky. The word 'buffoon' is quite common here actually, but it is an insult. It is like calling someone an 'eejit' or 'dickhead'.

So, what I hear you saying is that you'll stop banning and start talking. Right?

In all my years here, the only people that I've banned have been spammers. I find it very hard to bring myself to ban someone who is simply misbehaving. I leave that for the other admins, because my natural tendency is to work hard to try to make the 'misbehaver' see that it simply won't do themselves any good in the long term. I used to be a misbehaver too, but on a different forum. There's some other chap on this website who I've worked hard with recently who now seems to be becoming nicer and nicer too.

... ...and you - Incorrigible - my forever friend (lol) - you seem to drift in and out of misbehaving and being nice! Only joking dude.
