Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 27th 2007 12:17AM
I'm calling Peta dude,Just kidding or maybe not!,nah I was just joking or AM I?!
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 27th 2007 12:18AM
BTW has anyone tried this with a ferret?,I think it might fit.
Thierry @ Sep 27th 2007 12:20AM
Try a squirrel, we might Halo-Conker.
Grant @ Sep 27th 2007 12:29AM
i'm sure if you just dremel the bottom so it's not shaped like a rectangle box it would fit.
i'm also sure you would get a panicked/traumatized pet though.
Knoxximus @ Sep 27th 2007 12:31AM
FINALLY!! Ahhhh....I've waited so long to see this!
Bidoof Protection Military @ Sep 27th 2007 1:02AM
A cat is fine, too.
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 27th 2007 1:27AM
The obscure origin of that phrase still haunts me.
Bidoof Protection Military @ Sep 27th 2007 1:33AM
The Internet's just like that, ya know?

I have taken it upon myself to start a new Defense Froce for Joystiq.
Now presenting... FDF: Futurama Defense Force!
Rules:
-Open enrollment. You do not need approval from me to join.
-You must select a character from Futurama.
---You may not select a character another member has already taken (since I have already selected the almighty Hypno-Toad, no other members may).
-You must also upload an avatar of your selected character wearing the Paper Mario hat.
---You may choose to change the letter on the hat to reflect your character, or the color of the hat, but that is not required.
---If you are unable to make your own avatar, I can provide one for you (It will be linked to in a reply made to a post of yours).
Hurry up and sign up, chumps and chumpettes!

I would love to join Futurama force.
here's my choices of characters (not sure if they are taken)
The Zipper!
or Dr Zoidberg.
if it's possible, make me an avatar? Thanks
danny. @ Sep 27th 2007 9:33AM
Clamps, Elzar, or the porno dealing monster from the human horn episode.
Is Futurama really in need of defense though? It's an absolute good.
BPM (FDF - Hypno-Toad) @ Sep 27th 2007 10:32AM
"Is Futurama really in need of defense though?"
No, perhaps not. But it's something that's actually worth fighting for.
Hirsbrunner @ Sep 27th 2007 12:01PM
I may have to join. I've always liked Kwanzaa-bot.
colin @ Sep 27th 2007 11:46PM
"my only regret ..... is that i have ... bonitis."
heckthor @ Sep 27th 2007 3:59AM
Well, at least if the content inside is SCRATCHED there's a legit reason for it... The Cat in the Helmet...
James @ Sep 27th 2007 6:05AM
That is so forced and unfunny.
LAZoftheTamarinds @ Sep 27th 2007 6:09AM
If I had that helmet I'd put it on my sister's cat and I'd be like " Mr.Jingles, FINISH THE FIGHT!" and he'd say "meow?"
But I doubt it would fit a cat unless you modified it.
baby sea tuna @ Sep 27th 2007 8:19AM
He's got kind of a small head since he's still a kitten, but yeah, it's really on there. And believe me, he was PISSED. I've got the scratches to prove it!
Paul P. @ Sep 27th 2007 9:55AM
Here's a secret about lolcats are whatever the hell you call them. They're not funny. And they never were.
RDX @ Sep 27th 2007 10:50AM
Gee, you think he was pissed? I'd like to shove a ill fitting helmet on your head without your consent.
Atr-Slzr-Ctr @ Sep 27th 2007 11:55AM
Amen
Paul P. @ Sep 27th 2007 12:08PM
I don't care about the cat. I just think it is a stupid meme.
Haha, I spelled the words wrong in a silly fashion! I am the master of wit!
Ranko @ Sep 27th 2007 10:53AM
Mr. Sprinkles is finishing the fight.
danny. @ Sep 27th 2007 12:43PM
After some consideration, I think the helmet is being held in front of the cats head which is more humane than smashing your pets skull.
BPM (FDF - Hypno-Toad) @ Sep 28th 2007 4:42PM
As an official member of the FDF, here's your official FDF avatar. Wear it with pride!

unfunny pic is unfunny
RDX @ Sep 27th 2007 3:32PM
Correct. The meme is getting stale fast. And I meant to say "an ill fitting..." not a. Good grammar is the basis of intelligent conversation kiddos.
T3H WICKERMAN @ Sep 27th 2007 4:11PM
not as funny since the helmet was too big. seems a bit cruel too.
Ethan @ Sep 27th 2007 7:21PM
After this, the cat will fart whilst on your lap, moult on your washing, and trip you up. Then it'll shit on your carpet for good measure.
Nick @ Sep 28th 2007 1:38PM
Longcat is long
