it's a peace sign, see? you have five digits (translated to american: fingers), and when you arrange them in such a way, it makes a sign that is universally known as "peace". and that's the way it is.

FYI, that is if anyone is interested, the now-famous peace symbol was made from semaphores. Believe it or not, it comes from the signals for the letters "N" and "D".
Furthermore, those letters stood for "Nuclear Disarmament".

Eppy,
Hope the hand is being seen from the front. That is the Peace sign. The back of the hand showing is a rude gesture...

The Peace or V sign,with the front of the hand(i.e. the fingers) showing...
Peace or Victory(as Churchill had doen the sign).
With the back of the hand showing(i.e. no fingers)...
A British/European equivalent of a certain 1 fingered gesrure out here(i.e. The Finger).
In the UK it's also called I beleive "flipping the bird".

Actually, if you think about this, 'flipping the bird' sounds soooooooo American! I have NEVER heard that phrase anywhere in Europe, (or anywhere else for that matter)

It actually means 'go forth & multiply' or F*** O** for the more foul mouthed amongst us, (not myself of course!) and wwould be seen as quite offensive if meant seriously, so beware all you transatlantic and antipodean types, make sure your peace sign is facing the right way, (i.e. palm outwards).

And in the end..

You'll hear it down here, along with any other Americanisms. Though we commonly refer to the one (or two) finger salute as giving someone "the ups".

closed off once again from putting in my two cents, i retreat to my own topic, which was as good as closed anyway. jami has now been proven correct: that although i'm trying to spend more time on the forums, my busy life has not allowed me to be re-accepted as a regular. on the topic of ol' col, i agree completely with jami: we spend entirely too much time mourning his "death," but you must understand that our colin leaving is a devestating blow to our consciences. a good many of us, myself included (yes jami, this was before i became way overobligated and was limited to a few posts a week) came daily onto this forum for hours just to have the funniest man alive lift up our spirits. you don't know how many people have said "thanks len-mc, i was having a horrible day until i signed on and you brightened it right up." no, i'm not trying to restart the colin-mourning, and this is all i have to say on the topic; but i only try to make you understand that we can't just "accept" that col is gone. he is a great man, and undeniably reminiscent of john. we can't simply "move on". he is unforgetable. oh, and shifting gears, if anything in my previous post sounded demeaning or condescending to you, jami, i apologize profusely. that was meant solely for clarificational purposes. i don't want to start any enmity, and i wish to end any and all dissention between members. so jami, are we well met? <extends hand>

Forever,
Eppy
ps: in the general direction of nowhere man; i don't well appreciate the "weakest link" comment. it was neither funny nor prudent

jami · May 24, 2001, 12:45 PM

Tim, must note, though that Jerry said NOT to reopen it in this forum ...... he said if someone wants to talk about this, then to do so in "Off The Beatle Track". Alright? Alright.

Your topic (and I say yours cause clearly no one else could give a wet muffin) has been open longer than 7-Eleven, and it appears its hrs have just been extended.

<BLOCKQUOTE>Quote:<HR>jami has now been proven correct: that although i'm trying to spend more time on the forums, my busy life has not allowed me to be re-accepted as a regular.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Jami has not been proven correct, rather you have been proven incorrect. And it seems you're not the only one with the 'busy life'.

<BLOCKQUOTE>Quote:<HR>on the topic of ol' col<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Who? Oh. I think you meant "on the ol' topic of col".

<BLOCKQUOTE>Quote:<HR>i agree completely with jami<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Haha. That's the funniest joke I've heard all morning.

<BLOCKQUOTE>Quote:<HR>we spend entirely too much time mourning his "death," but you must understand that our colin leaving is a devestating blow to our consciences. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

We? Our? How many voices are there in your head? Oh wait, I get it, that was another joke...

<BLOCKQUOTE>Quote:<HR>a good many of us, myself included (yes jami, this was before i became way overobligated and was limited to a few posts a week)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>You must have pretty long weeks.

<BLOCKQUOTE>Quote:<HR>came daily onto this forum for hours<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Wait, we agree there... mmm Beatlelinks, yeah baby

.

<BLOCKQUOTE>Quote:<HR>just to have the funniest man alive lift up our spirits.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I thought he was dead.

<BLOCKQUOTE>Quote:<HR>you don't know how many people have said "thanks len-mc, i was having a horrible day until i signed on and you brightened it right up."<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Did you keep a tally?

<BLOCKQUOTE>Quote:<HR>no,<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Bummer.

<BLOCKQUOTE>Quote:<HR>i'm not trying to restart the colin-mourning, and this is all i have to say on the topic<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Clearly.

<BLOCKQUOTE>Quote:<HR>but i only try to make you understand that we can't just "accept" that col is gone.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

The voices, it's the voices again.

<BLOCKQUOTE>Quote:<HR>he is a great man, and undeniably reminiscent of john.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I don't think they look anything like each other.

<BLOCKQUOTE>Quote:<HR>we can't simply "move on".<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Begone, voices! The power of Christ compels you! The power of Christ compels you! The power of Christ compels you! The power of Christ compels you!

<BLOCKQUOTE>Quote:<HR>he is unforgetable.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

"...in ev-ery waaaaay..."

<BLOCKQUOTE>Quote:<HR>oh, and shifting gears, if anything in my previous post sounded demeaning or condescending to you, jami, i apologize profusely.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

E=mc²

<BLOCKQUOTE>Quote:<HR>that was meant solely for clarificational purposes.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Glad we're all clear then.

<BLOCKQUOTE>Quote:<HR>i don't want to start any enmity, and i wish to end any and all dissention between members.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I'd never have guessed.

<BLOCKQUOTE>Quote:<HR>so jami, are we well met? <extends hand><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Careful, or you might really meet something.
