Why is it that Fluther only gives you pretty much all jelly fish to choose from for your profile picture?

A group of jellyfish is called a fluther. It’s a bit of a theme here.

You can upload your own.

They were going to go with crows, but a group of crows is called a murder, and Bendrew figured (quite correctly of course) that such a name would definitely attract the WRONG kind of people.

oratio's avatar

@evelyns_pet_zebra lol, and that murder.com is already taken.

Jelly fish and fluthers are kind of its thing…

A group of jellyfish is also called a smack

Perhaps the coolest animal group name is a pandemonium of parrots

Oh, so the logo for fluther is a jellyfish! I thought it was a octupus…I feel dumb.

@Nefily…Welcome to fluther & don’t feel dumb…that is not a terribly uncommon mistake…wtf (I am not cursing….those are my initials)

chyna's avatar

@Nefily No need to feel dumb, I can’t even tell what is on those tiny avatars. And welcome.

@chyna: If I can enlarge the avatars, anyone can. It is astonishing how misleading some of them are.

@johnpowell; So that is the real you?

jrpowell's avatar

That is Riser, AKA as greenwriter.

essieness's avatar

@Nefily I thought it was a squid at first… LOL.

augustlan's avatar

Is that really riser? So. Freaking. Hot.

jrpowell's avatar

That is Riser..

augustlan's avatar

Totally not how I pictured him. And now I feel like a perv!

chyna's avatar

I totally have an inappropriate crush on Riser!
Wow…fanning self..

oratio's avatar

Heh, great. Fluther porn.

chyna's avatar

On my third, or was it 4th time I looked back at it, I realized he looks a little like a young Val Kilmer. @augustlan Look at his face next time and see if he don’t.

augustlan's avatar

4th look for me.

Val Kilmer crossed with James Dean. Oh my.

essieness's avatar

Who is this Riser person and why won’t the page load for me to get in on the action?

augustlan's avatar

No! Now it won’t load for me either. Pouts.

chyna's avatar

Loading just fine for me. :)

@augustlan….I think you wore it out. Give your computer/iPhone and your body/mind a rest and retry. Be careful though…prolonged viewing can lead to further prolonged viewing. @sccrowell is trying to make a poster or mural out of the photo…and I’m helping!!! See ya…wtf

chyna's avatar

@augustlan Did you try to download and save as your wallpaper?

augustlan's avatar

Whew! It’s back. :)

I bet it was asmonet. She’s been known to break Fluther.

essieness's avatar

Wowser!!! It worked…

augustlan's avatar

@essieness Dammit… now I had to look again! Quit calling me back here and tempting me with inappropriate lust!

chyna's avatar

Me too! Stop it. What? I could just stop following this thread? um, no.
