Alright ladies and genumen.
This is it, the challenge of challenges.

We, an anonymous panel of judges, are going to be looking for the most thankful avatar picture as Thanksgiving approaches, and then the most wonderful avatar avter for Christmas.

To be fair, see if you can 'dress up' your current avatar to cheer on the holidays. If you know you will have one you always bring out later, let the judging panel know so it won't be viewed as cheating.

I'm not on the panel, that I know of, and even if I am I'm still going to compete. I encourage Grace-N-Mercy, Shema Shema, and others with some posts to their names to set the judging panel.

Sound like fun?

You'll need MS Paint, or some wonderful graphics chop shop program, and remember to not save over your initial avvy and change it forever.

How about it, Gracie the Bookie , Shema Shema, Humblepie?, Mutiny?

How do I always get pulled into these things?? Sheesh!



Hey, can I just be on the panel of judges so I don't have to learn to use photoshop? My graphics skills are pretty slim these days.

Great idea for a thread, btw.

This should be fun! But are you talking about artsy pictures, family pictures, nature pictues? Is there any rules on this?

Our Thanksgiving is already over and I don't think I have any Thanksgiving pictures other than the one where I was playing with the leaves on the ground.

Prairiehiker,
That's right, you were rotating avatars with each post, and you have all those nature scenes. I guess you'd want to pick something you could decorate up... for an American thanksgiving and when is your Christmas?

You could be a judge, but then my entry would be ruled too corny to compete, so you have to contest it out with the rest of us.

I echo Mutiny and GnM's sentiments. (Hey! What happened to Cute-N-Sassy?)

Thanks for considering me and mentioning my name twice two times ( ), but I might be too busy to commit...when are you thinking this would take place? I am off all next week...

I second the nominations. All three are wonderful judges, known to be fair and honest and have impeccable taste

Beside that I like to see them all squirm

Ahem...

I regretfully inform you that I must resign from my position as one of the Judges of the Avatars. The recent display of an avatar revealed to me that I do not possess an unbiased mindset going into the competition.


In other words...

Hook 'em, Horns!

That's a kind of lame excuse to shirk your responsibility to the community you know.

Let's see if I've got a panel of judges to declare me the winner...

Grace-N-Mercy says yes
Mutinywxgirl says yes!
Shemaromans says yes! (who say's I'll have the team of 2008 mentioned on judging day, hmm???

Humbleinspirit says _______________________
I say he says ____________________________

participants:
John_O (can you believe he's going to put together an avatar??? Wow!)
Prairiehiker
Myself


The judging would happen on Thanksgiving eve at high noon? I don't know... I'm a participant. You think it was easy doing my little pilgrim eagle bust? Well, it wasn't hard to do.

I need more contestants. Come on, peoples, join in the fun already.

Au contraire, mon fraire. It's my responsibility to this community that requires that I be an objective judge.

Given that my parents brought me home from the hospital in orange diapers, there's no doubt that anyone sporting a non-UT team in their avatar would lose points with me. Conversely, I would award a more positive assessment for anyone who's avatar exhibited Longhorn spirit.

Wordplay intentional.

Very well, Shema says she'd rather compete than judge. Well, it'll be heartbreaking to edge her out for the prize, but say laaaa veeeee.

Three judges.

Please speak up if you plan to compete in this thing. I couldn't put a whirling blue light on the contest invitation.

Thanks Mike, for being the guy judge.

That's funny! Time for a lesson on comprehension skills?


MS Paint gives me headaches. May I simply upload a picture of my mom's dog? :)

I'll speak for her in saying that just because you're a Texan does NOT automatically make you a Cowboys fan!
