A new project for JohnSteed?

**greedygirl** · 3rd January 2006, 07:24 AM

After seeing sodax77's new avatar (brilliant stuff), it occurred to me that JohnSteed should perhaps tackle the lofty assignment of compiling a Top Ten Avatar list.

While I can't imagine anyone topping sodax, it would be cool to see JS' assessment of things.

Hi "greedygirl"

,

Well, the thought had crossed my mind. It's a great idea!

But, I feel that THAT would be too biased of an opinion. Certainly fun though.

Oh darn-it... too tempting to pass-up...

Oh, alright... If I DID have to make a "Top-10" Avatar's List though, it would go like this...

"Top-10 Avatar's List"

(in John Steed's eyes)

#1

Simmo!

- The handle/avatar works oh-so-well together. I would imagine that Simmo! would be a fun person to hang-around and gab with. I think his avatar says as much.

#2

GrandMaster

- Scholarly, adroit, serious-minded, intimidating, and highbrow. The picture couldn't be more precise in defining the handle (and perhaps the man behind-the-handle).

#3

Slotchik
(as "Jane Jetson")

-With hand-on-hip, it just made sense with all the ??? and !!! responses that Slotchik routinely uses. Tough yet fun.

#4

PhilipfromParis

(as "the Fonze")

- Tacky and spot-on. Philip seems upbeat in his posts, as does "the Fonze" in that particular photo.

#5 WarriorCherokee

- Colorful, vibrant, and BIG.

#6

KasinoKing
(as the fat man in the tux)

- Worked VERY well for me when I first found Casinomeister.com. I somehow miss that avatar, despite being petrified of it for so long.

#7

Jetset

- Sure it's simple enough, but there's so much more to it. Studious, smart, informative, which goes with the handle. The avatar marks simplicity at its best.

#8

Sodax77
(as the spinning-cube)

- A technilogical breakthrough for avatars. 3-D at it's finest.

Sidenote: You wrote the above post while I was writing this. Odd stuff...

#9

Mousey

- In a nutshell... cute. Makes me almost want to go out and buy a pet mouse and have it fitted for glasses.

#10

gaputernut
(as the happy computer)

- Again, like "Sodax77", pushing the envelope on what can be done with the avatar.

"Noteworthy" avatar...

"Silcnlayc" for "special" reasons. Let your mind wander a little... (ahem)

Steed takes a 5 minute break...

***

...and returns just in time for...

"Top-5 Avatar's"
that either
"annoy me" or "creep-me-out"

#1

2brnot2b

- Fucking annoying.

I don't like fighting, but I really want to beat-the-techno-snot out of the person in the photo.

#2

"Casinomeister"
(as the devilish Santa Claus)

- We know that Mr. Bailey is a handsome lad, but while I'm okay with the green wrestling mask (or whatever that is), and I'm happy that he participated to make an appearance in that particular outfit... IF I had a child, I would NOT let my child near the screen. Sorry sir, but it's too creepy.

#3 sal monella

- Makes me want to vomit.

#4

KasinoKing
(as a "suspect" Santa Claus)

- While I applaud the whole "Merry Crimbo" theme... nevertheless your Majesty, in my humble opinion, it's still creepy stuff.

#5

tim5ny
(a few months back)

- The one with his daughter was a great idea, but the quick-motion was murder on the eyes (even moreso than the lime-green I occasionally use for coloring text... worse than THIS). That only lasted a couple of hours, if I recall.

Sidenote: "greedygirl", I was JUST thinking about your avatar, when I was glossing through the latest "GAMBLING ONLINE MAGAZINE". It reminds me of "GoneGambling", although I never really go there.

Hope this helps your thread.

Y'know, talking *creepy* avatars the one that sticks in my mind was that of "Jyde" who used to post here a lot and was a great contributor. His avatar was a silently screaming person slapping her face simultaneously with both hands and it always unsettled me. Very effective.

**Pinababy69** · 3rd January 2006, 09:57 AM

Well now you guys just make me wanna go out and find something that says "this is me." Feel so naked without one, lol.

**greedygirl** · 3rd January 2006, 10:19 AM

Great list, JS.

- The handle/avatar works oh-so-well together. I would imagine that Simmo! would be a fun person to hang-around and gab with. I think his avatar says as much.

Agreed. I'm hoping that I'll bump into Simmo! in London this month, but I know I'll be disappointed when I realize he isn't that goofy purpley-blue blob in person.

Sidenote: "greedygirl", I was JUST thinking about your avatar, when I was glossing through the latest "GAMBLING ONLINE MAGAZINE". It reminds me of "GoneGambling", although I never really go there.

Gawd. Now I'm gonna have to change my avatar. I'd hate to think anyone would associate me with GoneGambling.

Well, on second thought, you do sorta' look like that claymation "orange" that sang opera in that vignette from "Sesame Street". Does that help any?

(not that I'm expecting anyone to know what-the-hell I'm talking about...)

Ummm JohnSteed, I luvs ya to death, but we gotta talk.

Do I let JS off the hook, now, or enjoy this a bit longer?
