Icon Meme

[pyat]

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick four of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.

commanderteddog chose the following icons:


Well, what's to explain, really? This is an image of some fellow with a hat, buying pie in an automat. Why pie, particularly? Well, I suppose because in the automat of life, I'm the sort of fellow who is always scrounging for that extra dime I need to get me a slice of pie. And I don't even need the a la mode!


Ah! Well, now, this is a special icon I use for "Rabbit Hole Day" posts, that day when you're supposed to post as though you were living in an alternate universe. It doesn't seem to have happened this year, though. This alternate me is a semi-literate, drama-addicted, very gay furry. He lives with his parents, is (poorly) closeted and on a great many different medications. He goes to a lot of cons with his good friend and off-again/on-again mate, Scritchyfox. He makes very bad furry art with MS Paint, which he uploads to Furaffinity.


This icon is a response to the return of the Daleks in the new Doctor Who series. There's a scene where they rise up outside the window of a space station, and their headbulbs flash silently four times. As we know, Dalek head bulbs flash for each syllable of what they are saying. So, I speculated that they were actually saying "Please! Give us cake!" melskunk ran with it, and made this cool icon.


In 2005 (or so?) I was hired to write a 100,000 word D&D supplement about a frozen kingdom called "Skjarskert." I had to stop about 40,000 words in, as I just didn't have the time to put into it. I used this icon for playtest notes and rules musings. I don't know why I'm still using it, though I think the husky skull is sorta cool.

Somehow I've always assumed the guy reaching for the pie was actually you. Like, you photoshopped yourself into a picture of an pie-o-mat.

[pyat.livejournal.com]

You are not the first! Alas, the only manip I did was writing the word "Pies"

[bootler.livejournal.com]

Pick me! I love time wasters...

I think I only have 4 icons - and they are pretty boring. I'd have to repeat 'mermaid', 'mermaid', 'mermaid' -cause it's my studio. or look it's my hat with horns that I wear to the cons. pretty boring.

[pyat.livejournal.com]

They're pretty, anyway! And you sure as heck didn't snag them from somewhere.

[doc-mystery.livejournal.com]

Hey, you could do all my avatar icons, too!

[pyat.livejournal.com]

Okay - shoot! :) Why two versions of the same skeleton pipe-blower?

[doc-mystery.livejournal.com]

But...there are 4 versions I regularly use and rotate among.

Ooh, an informative meme! I don't have too many icons - some have no neat story or factoid behind them, and others I barely use, if at all. But hey, if you pick one of the boring ones, I'll swap with a more interesting one. :)

[pyat.livejournal.com]

Explain your default one, so I can see the Peter Cook video again! :)

[melskunk.livejournal.com]

Ah, I choose yooou!
Also my paid account apparently was done so I had to renew it...

[pyat.livejournal.com]
