Is that a reference to anything? My first guess is that it's Rambo-based, considering the headband and hair.

VVVV As usual, my lack of anime knowledge is my undoing. :argh:

Thanks.

That made me dig around in my old SA emote folder. I didn't find anything really interesting except one emote that I always wanted to buy, but it didn't meet the specifications:

"sadballoon"

It's still too big. The specs say the biggest an emote can be is 90 X 25 and this one is 31 X 45. At least it's under 10 kb so I still have hope that someday it will be purchasable.

I'm pretty sure Eggplant Wizard used it as her (his?) name for a while, and people who use the "PLEASE LEAVE" avatar use it or some variation of it to distinguish themselves.

There was a huge event awhile back where an admin (Ozma?) changed several of the mod's names to include "butt" in them, like Butt Wizard, or Tobutt. Most of them were changed back after a few days, but EW kept hers for a little while. I think the whole thing started with Ozma changing Het's name to "Butt" and making his custom title say "It's butt o'clock."
