Title: You. Your Avatar. One Week.
Post by: 0bsessions on 27 Sep 2009, 20:23
Well, since nobody got around to doing it LAST week, when we were supposed to, this here is now official You As Your Avatar Week!

Get a picture of yourself, make it your avatar from now until next weekend. Let's go for some recent ones so we're not all just using the same ones we used last year. If I'm willing to upload a fresh one and show that my face has gotten even fatter, you should all be willing to as well.

From 2 years ago, because I don't have a more recent one.  Really, I look pretty much the same, but with different glasses (not that you can see the glasses).

You asked for it.  This photograph is about a year old, and was taken at my fiftieth high school reunion, from a photograph of the "five nerds" of my class.  We turned into: a physicist (me), two engineers, a computer scientist, and an orthodontist.  Quite a crew, but we really did fit the profile of "nerd" back in those days. 

And you will have to put up with it for more than a week, because I am leaving for the land of no internet for a while.

I've noticed a few people who seem to be kind of complaining about doing this. For the record, this isn't exactly obligatory. If you don't want to go to the effort of changing your avatar/showing people what you look like, then don't. Nobody's twisting your arms, it's just a fun little distraction.

Goddamnit I guess I can use this photo from my visit to Sydney except:

1) I kind of look like a douche
2) I think that is Ali's butt in the background and it is "You as your avatar week" not "you and Ali's butt as your avatar week"

I <3 fake knuck tattoos & I fully endorse that idea. I do it all the time to send little messages to friends over t'interwebs. Here is the only example I can find:

Real duct tape is duck tape.

2) I think that is Ali's butt in the background and it is "You as your avatar week" not "you and Ali's butt as your avatar week"

but ali's butt makes a great avatar!

So it turns out it is really hard to give yourself good knuckle tattoos and then even harder to get a photo of them with nobody elses help   that will look good at 100x100but everyone just maybe think about something they'd like someone to draw on their knuckles with a sharpie and then get a photo because maybe, just maybe that will be another avatar theme week in a month or so.

SNES ROMS is already taken by the way
Title: Re: You. Your Avatar. One Week.
Post by: elizaknowswhatshesfor on 29 Sep 2009, 17:59
It could almost be a game worthy of a thread...Coming up with 8 letter combinations...I know I guy who has the word "Rhapsody" on his knucks. This starts off as ok until you realise when seperate he has the words RHAP with the H & SODY (say it out loud....) on the other. Not cool. Funny. But not cool.

Snes Roms does not have this problem.

What if you wrote something like "Im so cool" and it's read by making the Vulcan hand sign with one hand and a fist with the other?

(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y120/jhocking/cool.jpg)

Or "Im a tool" read by making a West-side gang sign with one hand and a fist with the other?

Coming from the secong half of Rhapsody it would be siad more like "Soddy", as in like a sod. It sounds & looks stupid as two seperate words. Two 3 letter words with some form of punctuation is preferable to one 8 letter word that makes no sense in two parts. That is my opinion.

Joe Hocking you are amazing for an old man

Also I'd just like to make sure people know that you only really need to come up with one four letter word and then put "LIFE" on the end of it for a totally sick knuckle tatt

PUNK LIFE
GEEK LIFE
BASS LIFE

just puttin' that out there

Also I basically repped DAFT PUNK knuckle tattoos every night at work for about a month when I was working at a uni bar and it didn't matter what I looked like.

Once again I just don't know what to think. Part of me wants to give you a high five, the other part wants to perform a facepalm maneuver. I think you are just at that age where you are still maybe young enough to be cool and then maybe too old to try.

I am leaning towards a high five though.

You look eerily like one of roommate's good friends.  Only difference is your hair is shorter and not curly.  And the piercing.  But the whole face is pretty much copy pasted from him (or his from you, if you're older :D)

Change it one frame at a time to ease us in. Like, just swap out one of those pictures with a more recent one, and then a couple days later do it again. Eventually you'll have swapped out all the images with more recent ones.

Yeah, it's crooked. And I've had braces, and the dentist even removed some teeth in order to make room for the rest to spread out evenly. You should have seen how screwed up my teeth were before the braces; I had one tooth actually coming out sideways. My sister used to stick her finger under her lip to make fun of me.

Plus I'm not sure I even could get braces right now even if I wanted them (and said sister is now an orthodontist, so I could probably get them cheap.) Because of TMJ problems I can't open my mouth wider than about two finger widths, and I'm not sure if it'll ever go back to normal. My cocksucking days are over, lemme tell you.

I'm locking this thread because I love the idea of someone reading the last page and seeing "It sure was", and getting the impression that everyone had just had some kind of magical adventure or some amazing sexual experience or perhaps some combination of the two or something. If it was possible I'd also prevent people from being able to open the previous pages of this thread.

Except now I've posted this it's kind of messed up the lovely elegance of that satisfied sigh of a post that would make such a perfect last post to this or any other thread. Hmm. Maybe I'll delete this post after a day or so.
