Anyone ever notice in this classic image of Eris (seen below) that she seems to be thumbing her nose, in that "NYAH NYAH" sort of way, like Karl Rove is illustrating even farther below?

All I know is, we've had this game going where a bunch of us on campus have god powers and I had wind / ice / snow / frost etc. which was really OK until somebody else wanted in, and this girl gave him chaos. I definitely wanted chaos.
Only, then it occurred to me that my having chaos as my god power would be too predictable, and it's far more in the spirit of discord for me to not have chaos.
So in short, yes, I see your point.

you've managed to thoroughly lose me. Im battling to see the correlation between god-powers (on campus) and the pics of Eris clearly making fun of some poor sod.
what?
its also very strange how the name under Eris reads - EPIS :D

Must be common practice after one gets snubbed.

To act like Karl Rove or to snub ones nose?
Yes.
It was the ONLY appropriate response.
WE NEED ROGER BACK!

I'd check poee.co.uk.
Our Roger privileges have been rescinded.
Where do you find these images.
On a quasi related funny lighter note here is a picture of dick cheney. He is happy to see you.

Oh crap, it smiles.
It also hungers and has a perchance for shotguns.
Eris save us all.
Penchant, possibly.

It's not just the thumb to nose but the sideways look she gives with that smirking smile.
its her version of the mona lisa smile
She obviously knows somethign we dont
Or she smiling because she just flicked a booger at you
Or because she's a dotty old woman.

INCORRECT, you need to phrase that as a question.
Pay attention to his punctuation, see?
Nonsensical rants, apples, greek women, and thumb nosing.

QuoteQueen Anne's fan
Ever wondered what you call the gesture of putting your thumb to your nose and wiggling your fingers in an insulting manner? It's called Queen Anne's fan (or "cocking a snook", or "the five-fingered-salute", or the "coffee-mill" or "pull-bacon"). A study showed it to be Europe's best-known gesture. It is first recorded under this name when Anne reigned – 1714.

Got to be honest, though, I've never heard the expression before. But I think I might start using it now. ALSO how do you get "pull-bacon" from the gesture . . .

It is a well known fact, so well known that it is stereotypical, that the British are pretty naff at languages. This merely compounds our linguistic incompetence and indicates that it isn't just foreign langauges that we are shit at, but our own dear mother tongue as well.
My personal excuse is that I could never afford to buy an anglophone. I have to make do with two tin cans and a ball of string.
