Like when the arrangers of a football game during the 2008 European Championship showed the lyrics to the first verse of the German national anthem, the verse that starts with Deutschland, Deutschland über alles and is nowadays mainly used by German nationalists - only the third verse is used in official settings.

I saw my avatar in Cried's signature. Am scared for my soul now.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

You only have yourself to blame.

 

[Diesel 11]

Maybe I'll just get a new avatar.

What could Cried be up to? I know he likes to mess with us in very different ways on here.
