This place is becoming too serious.

Inspired by the goings-on in a German forum I decided to pick a new avatar with an appropriate seasonal theme. I've made modifications to some of the ones I've used or considered using in the past.

I've tentatively picked one than goes with TheWizard's first remarks, although my wife said it's in bad taste- but she has strong vegetarian tendencies



This one doesn't really fit:



This was the last one I used- until the Louvre changed it's website:



and this one goes back to the great avatar movement and an overreaction thereto:



as does this one (part of an escalation strategy not implemented):



What do you think would be most interesting or appropriate?

Seeing as it's no fun making a fool of myself all on my own, I've come up with some suggestions for some other regular posters here. I think it's fairly clear who's meant:









Now this one caused me a lot of problems. I really wanted to do something like this, but it didn't scale down gracefully, so I had to settle for this proposal:

edit: added bill

oh shit.
LOL doesn't even begin to describe it...
i was just gonna pop in for a quick glance at the forum before i drift off to sleep...no chance of that now with all the laughing in the last 2 minutes.

omg.. The Xmas steak was funny.. but doing everyone else's avatars takes the cake.

i love my x-mas one, i would gladly use it, aviationwiz?

Glad you like it- you can link to it directly, like dodecahedron did.

Very funny, nice work!

I love what you've done with my avatar! I'm using this for the rest of the season for sure!!

I had some trepidations about this one, knowing how Americans feel about their flag and other national symbols- but here goes (counting on humour and Christmas cheer). I've added bill's avatar (with transparent background) to the collection.

That's terrific, thanks for the avatar!!! I was trying to figure out how to do the same thing but you beat me to it.

I like it and appreciate you thinking of me

Ha, nice! Decorative and functional! Penguins lose 90% of their body heat through their heads, so mine should be all taken care of this winter.

Awesome, that rocks!

Thanks for an awesome thread MediumRare!

I'll be using mine until I get back from South Africa sometime in January!

I think for Dodec's sake, you need a dreidel or menorah option.

thanks for the kind thought, Wolf. but no need realy.

this is more than i could wish for.
i'd put it in my signature, but i think i'll get kicked in the head...

Well done!

Can I link to it until I get to upload it to my webspace?

I really like Slim's too:

Cool, thanks


Could I have these ones (one for another forum and the other for MSN Messenger) please

Just so we don't overwork MediumRare:

The small ones could use some sharpening (at the expense of a little increase in size):





(Edited to add these to the original post too)

Hey, thanks, Cfitz.

Cool ones, I saved all of them

You're welcome.

I can't believe I misspelled your name. Sorry.

Nicely done, cfitz, and good so see you back for your monthly visit.

Living in "liberal" Europe, I would be tempted to do a bit more with the iMac girl's attire, so it's just as well that you did the job. I suspect you're more proficient with the graphic tools, too- I know that I've learned quite a bit from you. This thread is the harvest of an afternoon of messing around with Photoshop Elements.

I like hoxlund's modified avatar the most.

Excellent thread.

Will be seasonal avatars for St Patrick's day?
