Fordim's new avatar is a bit weird - like a teddy crossed with a panda..

Nurumaiel · 01-30-2005, 12:36 PM

Fordim's new avatar wins by a million. Is he trying to impress the image I already have of him even deeper into my mind? There's no hope for recovery now.

But...according to the BW's previous post, I would like to say that I am rather fond of Evisse's snowflake. Very elegant.

You've made me read Alice in Wonderland again... thanks.

Sorry this is really late...

Rilwen Gamgee · 02-01-2005, 04:28 PM

Bravo! Fordim's newest avatar is indeed wonderful! So then, instead of snakes, it must be... "Fleas. Why does it have to be fleas...?"

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-01-2005, 05:22 PM

I bow before you, Junior. Er... I mean Fordim. I love it!

Finwe-89 · 02-02-2005, 09:37 AM

Yeah Fordim's is pretty cool

Kuruharan · 02-02-2005, 11:03 AM

I see our glorious leader now smiles down upon us in the form of a new avatar.

It is rather cheery, in a greenish sort of way.

Mithalwen · 02-02-2005, 12:53 PM

Oh I thinkI shall miss that penguin with ice cream....

Dear Aulë...it's the Stay-Puft marshmallow man from Ghostbusters. It inspires fear in my deepest being.

Nah. I'd recognise that chap anywhere. Isn't it Casper the Firendly Ghost? It seems Mr W is seeking to lure Downs residents into a false sense of security.

I love it. Nice choice, Mr. Wight.

mark12_30 · 02-03-2005, 01:47 PM

I suspect that a sizable percentage of Heren-Istarion's once-so-dedicated, now-so-distraught fangirls will now be found shrilly pursuing Fordie's pugatar.

mark12_30 · 02-03-2005, 05:39 PM

Hah!

Puggison Fordie.

No, I really do think that it is stay puft marshmallow man. You can clearly see a bit of his hat. *shudders* I never look at a marshmallow again without thinking about him, of course I still eat them though.

Finwe-89 · 02-04-2005, 08:37 AM

Marsmallow man looks very tasty to me, I always dweel when I see him

I hate to disagree, but it's not.

This is BW's new avatar:

... and this is the Stay-Puft Marshmallowman:

A passing resemblance, but nothing more.

Fordim Hedgethistle · 02-04-2005, 09:34 AM

I've gotta go with Saucy on this -- that chap is clearly Casper. How could our esteemed Barrow WIGHT go with anythnig other than a ghost. . .

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 02-04-2005, 11:20 AM

Actually, my avatar is neither Casper or the Marshmallow thing, though it is marshmallow related. With this small clue, I challenge everyone (except maybe Bethberry who was there when I first came up with this new avatar) to unravel this mystery!

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 02-04-2005, 11:29 AM

Isn't that some creature from James and the Giant Peach?

radagastly · 02-04-2005, 11:33 AM

I think it's a cub scout with a s'more addiction. This could happen to you!

I really have no clue.

I'll shut up now, 'kay?

Encaitare · 02-04-2005, 04:03 PM

Since I have no clue about Sir Wight's avatar, I shall recognize another's. Kitanna's is v. cute. I believe!

Fordim Hedgethistle · 02-04-2005, 06:56 PM

Quote:

Perhaps the new avvie is Bethberry! I imagine that she is quite fond of marshmallows. . .

Bêthberry · 02-04-2005, 09:21 PM

Oh boo hoo! You are all so wrong. It is totally surreal.

And, no, Fordum, I like marshmellows only when they are in campfire s'mores, although I've been known to appreciate certain Cadillac hearses.

Bethberry

Gil-Galad · 02-04-2005, 10:15 PM

I do Beleive thats Encas is that lady from the music video of Mr.Brightside, by the Killers

Beleg Cuthalion · 02-04-2005, 10:38 PM

Since I'm newly a Pile O'Bones, I think this avatar is fitting.

Gil-Galad · 02-04-2005, 10:39 PM

heh... though i did have an animated pic of a skeleton whose head keeps falling off... though for me Tim is good enough

Encaitare · 02-05-2005, 10:27 AM

My dear Gil-Galad, it is with great regret that I must tell you that you are one hundred percent mistaken.

Okay, maybe not that much regret.

I dig yours, Beleg. Very fitting. If I were to have an avatar which would fit my title... it would have a violin being played with a sword rather than a bow. 'Twould be cool, albeit a bit dangerous.

I guess it would be kinda cool.... I guess..

Hookbill the Goomba · 02-05-2005, 03:14 PM

Well put, Lord Wight.

I, personally, am glad to see the saucepan man back in action. Although I have noticed, thanks to this thread, that very few people ACTUALY have middle earth related avatars. Well, I pride myself on being one of those who have a Tolkien avatar, but that’s only because I like that symbol and its coolness.

As you yourself note... you have more of a Tolkien avatar than a middle-earth avatar.

Which isn't to say that I think that bad. Mine own avatar is completely unconnected with middle-earth.

Actually, I find it interesting that the avatars I tend to think of most memorably here are the movie ones: Boromir88, Lhunardawen, Eomer of the Rohirrim, etc...
And great as the movies were, I'm not even a big fan...

Strange.

A thousand pardons, Most Lordly, Awesome and Noble Barrow-Wight. Let me rephrase myself then...Beleg, your Chevelle avatar is awesome.

And let me also say that elronds_daughter's new one mirrors my opinion also.

I have 200+ LOTR related avatars. There just too big to go on here right now. Here’s some if anyone is interested in seeing them.

Btw, I like your avatar.

Why, thank ye kindly elronds_daughter I'm always fond of the flattery given by my peers!

I apologize SPM I havn't seen ghostbusters in ages thank you for that pic to refresh my memory. Absolutely puzzling!

Beleg Cuthalion · 02-06-2005, 07:54 PM
