Tobias Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 (edited) LOL Doctor Who began in 1963, Pertinax, with William Hartnell as the first doctor. If you go this site: http://www.physics.mun.ca/~sps/tv.html, it will show the chronology of the episodes. And I'm still trying to decipher Tobias' new sig. I guess you have to be an Aussie. I'm thinking of getting a new one, this one is a tad long. It's meant to be in poem form, which is why it may not make sense. I've also cut a few lines out, otherwise the poem would be far too long. But i like Patterson's point of view If you want a translation, i'm sure my fellow Aussies will help Edited December 18, 2005 by Tobias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pertinax Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 If you want to be really scared-I saw the first episode! An unearthly child? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) Here in Australia, the ABC has recently started rebroadcasting the entire series. Well, when i say recently, it started a little while back, because we're in the era of the 6th doctor now. That's how i got into Doctor Who-i finally discovered what it was Edited December 19, 2005 by Tobias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Favonius Cornelius Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 My Avatar is a picture of a character that i've really gotten into lately; Doctor Who. The picture is of the Sixth Incarnation of the Doctor, acted by Colin Baker. My signature is a quote from Horace, who's words i greatly admire. For a few days I assumed it was a Hobbit.

Onasander Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) My avatar represents the void I feel inside, and my signature is self-evident. (PS, I always figured that was a picture of Primus Pilus dressed up or something) Edited December 19, 2005 by Onasander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Goblinus Posted December 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 My avatar is that of Otho. I think that he would have been a good emperor if he hadn't been beaten by Vitellius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viggen Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 My favorite quotes from Member sigs: Viggen: "Money does not smell.".... sorry, but i thought it is time for a little (just a little) change cheers viggen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) Yeah, i've changed mine as well; i got sick of Banjo Patterson and looked through my little book entitled "Treasury of Quotations", and found this current one by Rudyard Kipling; i feel it's a pretty good quote And for my new Avatar, i've gone back three Doctors to the third doctor, acted by Jon Pertwee.

Sextus Roscius Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 I've kept my Cicero bust avatar, however I've used a new quote which I like alot. I'm really into these contradictory quotes lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlapse Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 My avatar is Captain Murphy while he's singing "What Do We Do With A Drunken Sailor" after he's been trapped under the Be Bop Cola machine (the image is rotated 90 degrees) and addicted to scorpion venom for a while (hence the stings on his face). His teeth have been knocked out by cans shooting out of the fallen machine and subesquently collected for a necklace by a 'rescue toaster'.

Primus Pilus Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 His teeth have been knocked out by cans shooting out of the fallen machine and subesquently collected for a necklace by a 'rescue toaster'. Abd that 'rescue toaster' for those of you nostalgia fans.. is actually the little robot from the movie 'The Black Hole'. I think his name in that movie was, appropriately for this forum, Maximillian. See how everything comes full circle back to Rome around here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neos Dionysos Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 My avatar is that of Otho. I think that he would have been a good emperor if he hadn't been beaten by Vitellius. Of Otho? How, that pic there is part of the statues of the Tetrachy.... Mine is simple... Stewie from Family Guy mixing a good drink and getting wasted on the 'sauce'... Singatures... well... awesome phrases I love... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobias, I hate to spoil your illusions, but your picture is of the Third Incarnation (we think) -- anyway it's of Jon Pertwee, definitely not Colin Baker. I think Jon Pertwee was one of the good doctors, incidentally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantagathus Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) Tobias, I hate to spoil your illusions, but your picture is of the Third Incarnation (we think) -- anyway it's of Jon Pertwee, definitely not Colin Baker. AD is correct here but I believe Tobias at the time he posted that had a different Dr. Who avatar in use(?) I'm still partial to Tom Baker because I watched the most of his incarnation. Furthermore, Douglas Adams was on the writing staff during that period... You can't loose with that! (the Cricket Robots from Adam's 'Life, the Universe & Everything' got their debut on Dr. Who!) I realize that since I originally posted in this thread my sig has change. Before it changes again I just want to say that Aristophanes' 'Birds' is quite hilarious and I recommend it for a good, sacreligious chuckle. My sig comes from the part where Pisthetaerus is telling the birds that everybody will start worshiping them over the gods and explains how sacrifices will change accordingly when honoring them... I still chuckle when I think of that exchange. I wanted to use one of the more lascivious quotes like Pisthestaerus' comment when he first sees Epops' daughter Procne but decided against it... -or- Pisthetaerus: Not I, by Apollo, unless they agree with me as the little ape of an armorer agreed with his wife, not to bite me, nor pull me by the balls, nor shove things into my . . . Euelpides: You mean this? (Bending over pointing at his rear end) Pisthetaerus: No, I mean my eyes...
