The official "PHALEX, PLEASE CHANGE YOUR FRIGGEN AVATAR!! thread. W/ poll (I think..)

Sign in to disble this ad
UPDATE - MAKI HAS IN FACT CHANGED HIS AVATAR TO SOMETHING FAR MORE APPEALING. HOWEVER, IN THE PROCESS PHALEX HAS PICKED UP AN AVATAR THAT IS...IS...WELL LET'S JUST SAY THAT EVEN RICHARD SIMMONS WOULD GAG AT IT. HENCE THE TITLE CHANGE.

/UPDATE


So..... one day not too long ago, I was sitting at my computer enjoying a cup of coffee and bran muffin (for regularity) when I found myself in a random thread of no consequence. The kind I like.. so anyway, I was going along with it, just sort of posting witty yet useless stuff as I'm wont to do, when someone mentioned Oprah. "Oh boy" says I! "I know what I'll do, I'll google Oprah and post the most heinous Oprah pic I can find!" chortle chortle...
so after a bit of googling, I find the perfect pic - a pic of Oprah that looks like she just sat her arse down on a steel bear trap. *SNAP!!* it clamps shut on her butt and that's the face she makes. Har har. I post it and get a laugh, and think to myself, "wow, I'm glad I wont be seeing THAT pic anymore...."

Yeah right.

So Maki decides to use that as his avatar and now we are all tortured and haunted by my decision to post an Oprah pic because we KNOW, we absolutely know beyond the shadow of a doubt that Maki, like many of us, loves to post and interject his wisdom in most, if not nearly every damn thread and not a day will go by that we will not have to see Oprah with arse in a bear trap.

So I say to you in my best Ronald Reagan voice:
Mr Maki, Tear down that avatar!

Whos' with me???

Seriously I couldn't care less. I can think of many MANY more offensive avatars he could use. And NO, I won't be posting any suggestions. His twisted mind can come up with those on his own, I have no doubt.

Actually, when I saw that pic, I didn't think "bear trap". I thought she was lying on her back, getting reamed big time.

I'm all for a new Maki avatar, but come on, we all know there is no bear trap in existence that would fit Oprah's ass.

"I'll bet Oprah eats tons of carrots."

You spelled "pies" wrong. Or that's a very disturbing euphemism.

Meh- I'm used to it. My first impression, though was the scene in Young Frankenstein, just before Madeline Kahn sings 'Oh sweet mystery of life at last I've found you'
I spent a good 45 minutes looking for a sub-10K pic of that to make MY vavtar in retaliation, but alas- I phailted.



This was close, but not quite, and too big(TWSS).

You simply must realize this will only encourage the man to further shenanigans.

First off, it could be worse as I think someone else has already mentioned. Being Canadian and also being a fan, I miss the Bubbles avatar. Was also trying to remember what it was before Bubbles and I'm thinking it was the surfing eyeball drawn by Rick Griffin. Is that correct?
