I google searched "gooner." I regret doing that. I hope that the Urban Dictionary has nothing to do with what is coming to the game. 

 

I have not done this.  I will not do this.  There are some things Yomo was not meant to know.

All that playing of Call of Cthulhu has real world applications for me.

gooner originally was the nickname for Arsenal FC (soccer, for our US cousins) fans, it has become... different. Although in some respects, i.e. performance of the team lately, maybe not so much as one might like.

The image above is Arsenal winning the FA cup (I think, it's been a minute since they have done that and I'm old so my memory is kinda iffy)

In all seriousness (it happens), that looks kinda like the exhaust from the steam powered backpack.

Ohhhh . . . so the signature photo of Arsenal was a hint for . . . drum roll . . . Arsenal!

 

Sure that seems obvious to some of you, but I had no idea about Arsenal FC and their uniform, colors, etc.

 

We still have the mystery of Minerva.  What is she trying to tell us?

So you mean you'll put down your rock, and I'll put down my sword; and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?

Captain Powerhouse recently started showing this as his forum avatar:

The image is named Minerva.

Since Minerva is the Roman name for the Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, & Athena is traditionally shown with an owl on her shoulder, I was going to guess that it was a (really) poor rendering of an owl.  But if so, that is the poorest rendering of an owl ever. 🤷‍♂️

NEWSFLASH!!

 

Captain Powerhouse has changed his signature photo again.  Instead of Arsenal gooners we have this:

And this is a picture of a bunch of Seattle Mariners, a baseball team.  Bat melee and baseball blast confirmed?
