I started the Ludwig Defense Force! =p
Raikage (Ludwig Defense Force) @ Feb 27th 2008 12:30AM
LIES, I obviously started it, you just photochopped the picture MUHAHAHAHA
FidliousWong (Oatmeal Defense Force) @ Feb 27th 2008 1:01AM
Who's this Ludwig guy?
samfish (C*G*D*F*) @ Feb 27th 2008 1:10AM
He composed a bunch of symphonies a few years back.
Talented, to be sure, but a tad rough around the edges.
ThornedVenom (Patapornographer) @ Feb 27th 2008 2:02AM
Sorry guys, but you went MIA for way too long.
Negativecool @ Feb 27th 2008 12:30AM
Aww...Looks like Chris is "that guy." You know, the guy that had as much fun taking the pic as everyone else, but gets his face cut off...and in a round about way makes you seem distant, not part of the group.
It's ok Chris, at least I know you're the awesome one.
samfish @ Feb 27th 2008 12:37AM
I'd join/start the Chris Grant Defense Force, but...get rid of Naked Peach?
Sorry Chris Grant. You're awesome, but you aren't THAT awesome.
The Artist formally known as Jesus @ Feb 27th 2008 12:48AM
if Chris Grant had breasts
then would you join the Chris Grant Defense Force?
samfish @ Feb 27th 2008 12:59AM
Why not just give him breasts?
ThornedVenom (Patapornographer) @ Feb 27th 2008 2:03AM
Yeah, after all, Jesus is supposed to be the son of god or something.
Chase @ Feb 27th 2008 11:41AM
I dunno, man, I'd probably be more likely to support a female Jesus than the present male one. I'd even doink her if she waxed off the beard.
...
*flees*
flYY @ Feb 27th 2008 12:45AM
So who took all the pictures of you guys? Griffin?
FidliousWong (Oatmeal Defense Force) @ Feb 27th 2008 1:02AM
That guy in the center... does he have three PS3s?
FidliousWong (Oatmeal Defense Force) @ Feb 27th 2008 1:22AM
I hereby rename this picture...

Angry Inch.
samfish (C*G*D*F*) @ Feb 27th 2008 1:31AM
Looks like someone scratching their balls with a ribbed vibrator to me.
That's a *sensual itch*
Parasite*Evil @ Feb 27th 2008 1:37AM
No offense or anything Justin but you look like Iwata and/or Miyamoto in the pic where they're printing money.

I hereby instate myself as a member of the Justin Defense Force. I may not agree with some of his opinions *cough* Mass Effect *cough*, but you cannot deny his comedic genius.
RobLink (McElroy Defence Force) @ Feb 27th 2008 8:35AM
Well, you gotta get yourself a picture then. Maybe photoshop Justin with a Mario hat?
Any other McElroy Defence Force out there? He's clearly made of awesome, so there's gotta be a few.
Neon Jebus @ Feb 27th 2008 9:13AM
Rob, as I said the other day, Justin is made of pure light. That was why I thought there was a picture of him posted last week but it ended up being the flash from the camera.
Honest mistake really.
Neon Jebus is a proud member of the McElroy Defense Force.
Dictatorship @ Feb 27th 2008 1:58AM
Wow, I just love how people make random defense forces. It's what makes this site fun.
I would jump on the bandwagons but I'm plain out lazy to do it so... yeah.
¯\(°_o)/¯
ThornedVenom (Patapornographer) @ Feb 27th 2008 2:04AM
Random Defense Force Defense Force?
Dictatorship @ Feb 27th 2008 2:15AM
...You know, that's not a bad name. In fact, it's awesome.
I'll bring it up when I feel like it.
samfish (C*G*D*F*) @ Feb 27th 2008 2:18AM
I tried my damned to respond to you with my mooning + middle finger emoticon for your laziness.
...but for the life of me, I can't find it or remember how to type it.
C'est la vie.
Korova @ Feb 27th 2008 2:29AM
You guys look like a great TF2 outfit. Ludwig would be a scout, Ross doctor, Justin pyro, Chris sniper, Andrew spy ... I dont know who the other are, but you are all in a class by yourselves!
Therefore, I hereby establish the Joystiq Fortress - the central command for all defense forces under the auspices of the Joint Joystiq Defense Force.

Jouten @ Feb 27th 2008 2:49AM
Nah, I'd say they look more like the cast of 'Heroes' heheh! Ludwig FTW!!
mr mobius @ Feb 27th 2008 11:51AM
Is Ludwig the hot cheerleader?
Is there any picture of the cast with labels so can find out who the hell is who in these pictures?
If they are Heroes, Sylar will win. Easily. Unless... could it be... Jack Thompson is Sylar!?
markhill66 @ Feb 27th 2008 3:41AM
Someone should start an Andrew Yoon Defense Force for me to join. I won't start it because I don't like responsibility, but I think he's Korean, and Koreans rule. Especially the girls. I'm actually watching a Korean drama right now, and I'm white as hell!
My Lovely Sam Soon FTW!
