Besides, I thought you were one-eyed, not three-eyed.

"Spider" is the name of the Adamesque looking character in Adam's avatar. He's the protagonist of a comic book series entitled "Transmetropolitan", which served as an inspiration for the "transmet" smileys that bey mentions in his OP.

Hmmm...I thought his avatar was symbolic of an aging, balding, middle-aged man that smokes too much. :D

That's how I've pictured Adam. Am I right or wrong Adam?

That certainly is interesting news to me, Wei. :)

the avatar is a picture of spider jerusalem the main character in the comic transmetropolitan, hereafter known as transmet, transmet used a threeeyed smiliey logo some, both in the comics and as an advertising thing at one point.


so the smilies are inspired by the comic and the avatar is a picture of spider jerusalem from the comic.


clear?

Since you posed this as a question, got a pic of her for us to make the determination of whether or not she is "beautiful" or "sexy"

oh and adam was simply pointing out that he had been using spider as his avatar so he ahs as much claim to transmet smilies as i do, which is erroneous since i totally asked liv to upload them but conversely i think he should also get a keyword since he loves transmet as much as i do.

Gotcha!

Why the fuck would they use three eyed smilies as advertising is the next question that comes to mind?

Yahhh...yahhh...yahh....
I'm not intentionally trying to be dificult...(don't put me on ignore! :D)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmetropolitan

check the wiki for some background on transmet and spider.

as to the smilie, it was initially the logo for the transhuman movement in the comic, i dont remember the name of people. later in the comment it becomes something of a symbol for civil disobedience even revolution. like the peace symbol. iirc

Transients.

They were people who were attempting to change their species by importing alien DNA into their own genomes. Their symbol was a three eyed smiley face, hence, all the transmet smilies here are three eyed versions of the regular smilies.

Bey definitely requested the transmet smilies...I just wanted to be an ass. :tmgrin:
