No it isn't?

His avatar is a reflection of the joke rather than the other way around. You weren't around during sharks so you probably just don't get it. (Sorry)

Syryana title is pretty generic. Don't like.
SK has had a shark avatar for probably 2 years. And the way you are making it sound, the reason for the title/avatar is from something not currently relevant.

Actually I added the shark because DGB was doing it and I wanted to be cool.

I agree with this, actually. That and Infinite Loop reminds me of something I'd rather not have to think about every time I make a damn post. Sorry guys, but I'm using my veto on this one.

Nominate
deadpan
for
Thestatusquo
. I've never met this guy (or run into him on the forums for that matter), I've only had one conversation with him -- tonight, in chat -- and a solid 90% of his posts/comments have me cracking up. But it wasn't just this conversation that I pull from. I've seen his posts around the site. It's the style of his posts, the way he slams, berates, or sometimes even compliments can be so sarcastically dry. I just think it fits him very well.

To me it reads like we have a user named "deadpan" and the title he's being nominated for is "Thestatusquo"

unfortunately no such user exists, someone should correct this.

It's relevant because everyone here remembers it, and the point is that it's not about his avatar anyway. It's about SK being snarky. And he has the avatar because he's extra dedicated to site memes, which is a facet of his personality.

The title being linked to the avatar is fine, it's not like it's the sole basis. The avatar does give it some much needed depth, admittedly.
are you thinking of me when you're with somebody else?

This is inaccurate, Shea currently has the default Mafia Scum as his title after asking to have his old title removed.

I've got no major qualms with the SK nom, it's got the required support and it's starting to look like the discussion is going in circles.

I'm pushing it forward.

By the powers vested in me by a lack of exclamation points, old memes and Oman's tarnished legacy I hereby give SleepyKrew the title of

notscience: That's not a hammer


Used the phrase here in a Day2 deadline lynch runup and was then victimized by Jake's LYLO unvote that her attempted hammer FTW crossed with here.

ADD: I forget if it is 3 or 6 months on-site for a nom. notsci is at ~5. Also, while unotes catching hammers like this aren't original, in this age of pre-post edits/reviews, I don't recall any.
