AVATAR CONTEST!!!!

My name is AC and it looks like it might be time for a good avatar contest.



I went away for a while because there seemed to be failing interest in my contests - however with the new software, I figure it is time to dust myself off and give it a go again!!!

So let us see...

There isn't anything directly related with this contest. Holidays etc.
How about keeping with the spirit of the new software - your avatar must contain a least one thing that is techy.
ie. a computer, cell phone, ascii characters, gps etc.

You can use whatever you wish (keeping within the rules of the forum of course).

You may vote for your 3 favorite.
Polls will open for voting on FRIDAY JANUARY THE 13TH!  {do do do do, do do do do} *twilight zone
Winners will be announced Wednesday January 18th.

The winning medal for right now will be the Easter Egg - because technically, hiding something techy in your avatars is kind of like an easter egg. (Will see about having Chucky upload another medal... when he isn't so busy.) ;)

If y'all don't like this idea - let me know and I am sure I can come up with something else.
Heck - I could really change it up so that every thing revolves around Friday The 13TH <- too creepy for me though!

And in case you have forgotten - you need to post in this thread saying you want to participate, and you must also post a larger version of your avatar as well. Thanks!

I was thinking of this one-which is my old dinosaur.

But that one may be too much like Karen's.

Or this one:

But everyone has seen that one already and it kind of loses its humor.

I might, you know I had just finished watching Short Circuit with my parents and brother Joel.  I don't know why I didn't look for something from that movie.  If I see anything interesting I want to change to I will contest or not because I'm picture crazy.  Let's see what I see and my random head wants to do.

Original Inspiration: a poster by Smashinator.

Doctors like Strangelove, B-52's mission,
Ponies, the Fat Man, and nuclear fission,
Riding the bomb like a Derpy with wings,
These are a few of my favorite things...

My name is AC and it looks like it might be time for a good avatar contest.



I went away for a while because there seemed to be failing interest in my contests - however with the new software, I figure it is time to dust myself off and give it a go again!!!

So let us see...

There isn't anything directly related with this contest. Holidays etc.
How about keeping with the spirit of the new software - your avatar must contain a least one thing that is techy.
ie. a computer, cell phone, ascii characters, gps etc.

You can use whatever you wish (keeping within the rules of the forum of course).

You may vote for your 3 favorite.
Polls will open for voting on FRIDAY JANUARY THE 13TH! {do do do do, do do do do} *twilight zone
Winners will be announced Wednesday January 18th.

The winning medal for right now will be the Easter Egg - because technically, hiding something techy in your avatars is kind of like an easter egg. (Will see about having Chucky upload another medal... when he isn't so busy.) ;)

If y'all don't like this idea - let me know and I am sure I can come up with something else.
Heck - I could really change it up so that every thing revolves around Friday The 13TH <- too creepy for me though!

And in case you have forgotten - you need to post in this thread saying you want to participate, and you must also post a larger version of your avatar as well. Thanks!
