Tasteless, disgusting, and offensive! I love it!

Proud supporter of a New York baseball team and a Boston football team. Yeah, deal with it!

That is the scariest thing I have ever seen.

I was thinking about coming out with my own "SIGNING NIMMO" poster

However, these last few days (or weeks, rather) have been hectic at times, so I never got around to it. Good work, and of course, rec’d.

Haha this ones a classic

It’d make sense too that mines the sequel. FINDING Nimmo, then SIGNING Nimmo. Its funny how we both put paul depodesta’s face on that blue fish (complete coincidence).

Yeah - I guess it seemed natural, in that sense

I noticed that similarity right away, and knew even moreso that I had to mention “Finding Nimmo”

I knew someone how done something

similar before i started mine. But someone assured me that noone had done Signing Nimmo. I figured it was enough change to try this. It came out pretty similar to yours that’s my bad.

Hopefully, they don't ruin the series

by making ‘DLing Nimmo’.

It was just put up on the front page

So, in that sense, it was “re-posted”. It’s weird, but that’s just the way it happens.

However, I have a link to something more groundbreaking – evidence the internet has been around for over 41 years.

No need to apologize

It also had me confused, at first, once I noticed it
