Jonny Quest eh? There were new episodes of them 3 years ago.

Btw, I love your picture!

Cause I love dinosaurs

Oddwen · 01-23-2005, 02:41 PM

Yeah, there have been a couple revivals. But originals are almost always the best.

InklingElf's Woodstock is very nice. I also am very fond of Lush's rose.

Lush is always so good at picking elegant, understated avatars. I also liked her marble statue head before the rose. It went so well with "Fair and Cold," her title!

Cheers!

Ain't the green slithering thing just perky?

Meela · 01-24-2005, 03:24 PM

Wow, I've just noticed so many great new avatars! In particular, Oddwen's feather is gorgeous, and Finwe-89 has picked a great shot of Legolas.
I might have to reconsider my cartoon tree-hugger.

THE Ka · 01-24-2005, 05:56 PM

No meela! It looks so cool! It is very unique.

Besides... What wrong with hugging trees?!

The Saucepan Man's saucepan is back! The world's back to normal.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-24-2005, 10:01 PM

It is back! I'm so used to it that I did not notice that it was changed from something else!

Thanks, Carnimírië, for pointing it out!

I liked the one on the beach though...

Oh, well. Old habits die hard... Or do they?

Meep! Sauce's old avvie is back! How I've missed that jolly, saucepan-wearing guy.

Well, I was wearing a saucepan in the beach holiday snap too.

But I missed the old Saucepan too, so he's back for a while.

Encaitare · 01-25-2005, 09:37 PM

My sister saw the avatar and went, "What's that supposed to be? Johnny Appleseed?"

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-25-2005, 09:39 PM

Hmm, somone else said the very same thing a while back. As I had never even heard of the chap previously, any resemblance is entirely coincidental.

That was you?

Sheesh, I wish I'd looked more closely.

Ha, I remember the Johnny Appleseed go-around. I thought that was funny - because I'd recognized him the first time I saw it. The fact that you didn't know who he was just made it funnier.

THE Ka · 01-25-2005, 11:17 PM

Wow! That was you? Well, nice tan. Also, nice saucepan!

~Not so frequent flyer ka~

rutslegolas · 01-27-2005, 04:11 AM

Ka Oh my God what is that Avvie , At first sight I thought it was a evil child or something but then I realised that it looked like the girl in the Adams Family Movie.

Bêthberry · 01-27-2005, 08:10 AM

Enca's avie squeezes a chortle or two out of me: "Real elves wear corsets."

And while it is nice to see ole Saucey's old avie back, I notice that Rimbaud--speaking of oldies--is still avie-less. Or has he succumbed to the lure of the ring and is it now cloaked?

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 01-27-2005, 08:36 AM

I am feeling slightly bewildered nowadays, seeing as how I am unable to change my avatar. I am getting flashbacks of the horror days when I couldn't figure out how to get one. It's from the exact same site as my current one.

So if I disappear in a couple of days you'll know it's because I've gone insane.

I'm glad to see the classic Saucepan Man is back, gotta love the classics.

Sure he is. He never told you about his keeper, Biff?

Seriously though: Saucie; glad to see the saucepan man is back in action.

Evisse the Blue · 01-28-2005, 04:22 AM

This is uncanny... I added that last line my sig - for other reasons (Russian champion figure skater claiming European title back) - before I saw Sauce changed his avatar and before I checked out this thread! See, people, See? the strange coincidences of life? Anyway, what more can I say - the world is truly and completely back to normal.
*lays back with wide and content grin*

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 01-28-2005, 03:46 PM

Biff is not my keeper. He is my servant.

Numenorean has a cool avatar, but it's hard to find.

Imladris · 01-29-2005, 12:48 AM

I would also like to nominate Nurumaiel's. So celticy.

And I like Meela's for the sole fact that it reminds me of the Corpse Bride.

Meela · 01-29-2005, 06:28 AM

Thanks

Yours is beautiful, Imladris, is it from something in particular?

Orual · 01-29-2005, 11:08 AM

Meela, your new avatar is awesome! What is it? It makes me think of Tim Burton.

And Immy's avatars are always so classy. This one is no exception.

Meela · 01-29-2005, 11:13 AM

It's the Corpse Bride, from Tim Burton's coming-soon movie. I found an image of her but had to scale it down to fit, but it cut a corner off the image instead.

Orual · 01-29-2005, 11:19 AM

Oh! Ergo Immy's comment about the Corpse Bride. For some reason I thought there was a Corpse Bride in The Nightmare Before Christmas. Either way, though, it's a very cool avatar.

Gil-Galad · 01-29-2005, 11:30 AM

My avatar is more or less, an inside joke, cause not that mant people know monty python

elronds_daughter · 01-29-2005, 11:56 AM

But, alas, what Gil-Galad says is true.... There are not all that many Python fans in one place. There are many scattered throughout the vast reaches of the galaxy, however.... And so I say, Tim the Enchanter, live on!!

Awsome! Your pictures still awsome though, it makes the viewer wonder what she's staring at...

Why? Were you surprised I wear a fedora. . .?

Kuruharan · 01-29-2005, 05:45 PM

Why...yes...as a matter of fact I was. I always pictured you in top hat and gloves.

Or perhaps a nice laurel wreath, like the one you see adorning my rocky head at the moment.

Lindolirian · 01-29-2005, 06:18 PM

Wonderful, Fordim! Next you must do a pug with Indiana Jones' head.

As we are all aware of, frogs are very jumpy creatures. It's probably taking a little space leap to visit Melkor in the Void. Or wait...I think it's been used for the advancement of Animal Anatomy...*shudders*
