Avatar contest for 08/02

[K'Nort]

This week's theme is:

BOP

As a word or as an acronym. Or anything else, I guess.

No limit on relevant individuals.


I have to wait for a change until I get home this evening, so we'll see what's leftover.

[Ed Cunard]

Dibs on Charlie Parker.

[Lubichev]

Then I got Dizzy.

[Valmore]

Sherman Davies was one of the main characters of Box Office Poison - one of the best indy comics ever.

[tricksterpup]

I am going with the federal Bureau of Prisons. and staying with the Big Boss Man.

[Dreadstar]

People are going to hate me (hell, I hate myself) but....



mmmmmmBOP!

The worst bit is, I had to replace Sprinsteen with... this.

[StoneGold]

Give me a few minutes to work up the avatar, but I'm going to go with the Federal Bureau of Prisons at www.bop.gov.


Which will eventually be represented by an animated montage of Women in Prison movies.

EDIT: GOddamn it! THat's what I get for looking for avatars instead of just posting!

You deserve any hatred you get for posting that... though it did answer my nagging question of, "Which poster is inevitably going to post Hanson and MmmmmBop?"

[K'Nort]

Actually, I've changed my mind on waiting. Dibs on Cyndi Lauper.

[StoneGold]

Hey! Ho! Let's go!!!

[Beatnikman]

Little bunny foo foo
I don't want to see you
Scoopin' up the field mice
And BOPpin' them on the head.

[Gaz]

Nuh-uh, Typo. K'Nort has dibs.

[Bouncing Boy]

Finally got it working. okay. The ill-fated TV version of Birds of Prey!

If someone wants to do the comic version that's okay with me. I would consider it different enough.

[Mac Danny]

[jessecuster3]

Don't forget to change your Use Title and Location !

[Bouncing Boy]

Don't forget to change your Use Title and Location !
They did call it "New Gotham City" on the tv show didn't they? That seemed kind of odd to me.

[Dennis K]

Because he is the youngest quarterback to ever win the Super Bowl, one could say that "Ben Owns Pittsburgh"

He owns some vintage Pennsylvania asphalt embedded in his face, that's for sure.

[jessecuster3]

Boobs On Parade !

[Donald M.]

I give you Kidz Bop, the inexplicably popular series of albums which take lame pop songs and make them even lamer by having kids sing them.

Any kid who thinks it's cool to listen to other kids sing, "Who Let the Dogs Out," needs a smack.

[JeffreyWKramer]

Actually, I've changed my mind on waiting. Dibs on Cyndi Lauper.

Damn, there goes my first choice...

[JeffreyWKramer]

I give you the late, great J. P. Richardson aka The Big Bopper.

Cei-U!

Double damn!! Kurt beats me to choice #2.

Good one, for sure!

[K'Nort]

If someone wants to do the comic version that's okay with me. I would consider it different enough.

Likewise.

I just couldn't think of a way to put that in the initial post without major contortions.

[Bouncing Boy]

Double damn!! Kurt beats me to choice #2.

Good one, for sure!
And I wouldn't be surprised if JessieCuster2 beat you to choice #3

[JeffreyWKramer]

And I wouldn't be surprised if JessieCuster2 beat you to choice #3

No, I hadn't gone in that direction.

He might have my vote again, though.

[Jade_GL]

Ok, I didn't see it so far, so I am calling...

The Ramones for their song *Bitzkrieg Bop*

Will have avatar when I can use the computer with the good image editing software. :D

[Jade_GL]

Got a new one.

This is something that just came to me. Hopefully I didn't miss something again. :D

Technically I supposed it could be BOPS, but I think it's a pretty ok interpretation. :D

[thehod]

Damn

A difficult one this week.

Its a long shot, but I'm pinning my hopes on a wave of xenophobia this week.

I give you England's Black Prince, victor over the vile French at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356

[thomas_catbiscuit]

it came from the planet bop

[Forefinger]

I'm going with Badass Overlooked Pro-Wrestler: Shark Boy!

[Your Imaginary Pal]

calling the dibs on BeBOP from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cartoon.....Possibly with Rocksteady.

[Ed Cunard]

Can I get a shrink please?

http://www.arikah.net/commons/en/thumb/2/2d/250px-Charlie_Parker.jpg

For non-jazz fans, here's a Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Parker) on him. Like Lubichev's Dizzy, he was one of the pioneers of bebop.

I like that when he was once asked if he was a religious man, Parker replied "I'm a devout musician." And, really, that faith shows in the music.

[Greg Hatcher]

When in doubt, keep it simple.

http://www.lastgasp.com/pics/bopcom.jpg

Last Gasp's Bop Comics. I hunted ALL OVER for a pic from Alex Toth's amazing contribution to this book, it's one of my favorite stories ever.... but no luck. Pity.

[Your Imaginary Pal]

[dougputhoff]

The Hollywood star I'd most like to give a BOP on the beak to,

MEL GIBSON

Mel, Jesus died for you, not to mention inspired you to make your most successful movie of all time. And this is how you thank Him? Taking off without your family, getting drunk, driving 37 miles over the speed limit while drunk, disrepecting the Jewish people (of whom Jesus was one*), and sexually harrassing a police officer.

Didn't you learn anything from making "Passion of the Christ?"

Oy vey!!

(*not to mention The Three Stooges, who TV docudrama Gibson's production company produced--Mel must have something about Jewish people in pain--Doug [I'm not Jewish, but my Savior is] Puthoff.)

(Another footnote: This this the first av I made with Microsoft Photo Editor.

[dougputhoff]

It's Tuesday, time to start voting.

I'm going with Ed Cunard and Charlie Parker.

[Donald M.]

My vote goes to Your Imaginary Pal and his Bebop avatar.

[Typo Lad]

K'nort's, because that's the first thing I thought of.

[tricksterpup]

I gotta go for jessecuster2 and with his Boobs On Parade.

[JeffreyWKramer]

Jessecuster2 gets my vote as well.

Hon. mentions to K'Nort, StoneGold and Cei-U.

[Valmore]

Dreadstar has Balls of Platinum to go and post a Hanson avatar. So I'll vote for him.

[thehod]

Boobs win most contests as far as I'm concerned, and it looks like they're going to win this one too.

So the 2nd Mr Custer gets my vote.

[Gingold]

Gotta vote for boobs.

[thomas_catbiscuit]

Jessecuster2 gets my vote

[Lubichev]

Ed Cunard, flyin' with the Bird.

[Dreadstar]

I'm going with Cei-U, because that was my first inclination, before the devil whispered "Hanson" in my ear.


"Chantily lace and pretty face..."

[Your Imaginary Pal]

jessecuster2 for bringing us mardi gras & Carnivale all week long
& I didn't even have to waste my precious beads.

[Ed Cunard]

Lubichev, with his Dizzy.

[Winslow]

Stars and Garters for his Brian Cronin on Patrol

[Mac Danny]

My vote is of Cei-u and the Big bopper!

[Forefinger]

jessecuster2. Who doesn't like boobs?

[jessecuster3]

Stars and Garters for me, I am a sucker for people who use use other people's avatars.

[Cei-U!]

Dreadstar, for having the cojones to listen to that devil. Hanson was my first thought too.

Cei-U!
I summon the back brace!

[Slam_Bradley]

Gotta go with Ed Cunard and the king of hard bop.

[StoneGold]

Crap, I knew I forgot to do something again. Oh well.

[K'Nort]

Beatnikman did the one I was most hoping to see, but Dreadstar truly earned the votes this week. And I can't believe that one didn't occur to me when setting this up.

[Grazzt]

Your Imaginary Pal's Bebop avatar is as much a thing of beauty as any avatar that features a warthog can be. I think he should take this one.

[Sanagi]

Your Imaginary Pal. Blast from the past.

[HomerJay]

Jesse Custer2 and his ingenious way to incorporate boobs into his avatar.

[Night]

Ok my three were taken and not used as avatars... grrr.

Cei-U! gets my vote

[Your Imaginary Pal]
