Merging three threads
So Stephen emerged from his stomach virus coma (whine whine whine thread) with a craving for Krispy Kreme donuts. I say we put together a business proposal for Erin's unicorn donut delivery service (letter to weatherman thread) and send it up to Rhode Island (Powerball sherbet thread) so I can have the donuts delivered next time and won't have to go fetch them!
I'm sure that poor woman is getting even crazier requests than that...
(And AWESOME avatar!!! I think the previous one is the best-drawn ever even if Sprots hates it, but this one captures Erin perfectly, down to the color scheme!)

Re: Merging three threads
I'm glad Stephen is feeling better. Does this complete the stomach virus's tour through your household? Or does your husband still need his turn?

Everyone who is home has had it. The two who remain will be home tomorrow night. All bets are off as to whether I can get this place thoroughly disinfected enough to spare them the joy we've shared here.MarleysGh0st wrote:I'm glad Stephen is feeling better.

Doughnut Erin is AWESOME! It will take second place to Sunchine's first.
Whew! I'm so relieved that LB learned to draw unicorns!

Re: Merging three threads
I'm puzzled that Sprots keeps talking about which avatars will or will not win, when beast is judging his own artworks.
And people think the AI judges are monkeying with their contest!

So this assures that all avatars get at least one response. Sometimes my remarks trigger other remarks, and an avatar ends up in a higher spot than LB originally planned. So I urge everyone to remark favorably on Sunchine and Rainbow Doughnut.
That being said, I can't imagine how either one could be beat this year.

Don't be fooled by the cuteness--unicorns kick ass. They swallow their enemies whole and poop out the bones. While galloping at full speed.

I'm not sure either one would be in my Top 2 for the year so far....
Of course, I could be swayed by reputable critics of avatar artwork....

I hereby declare mini to be a judge for this year's avatar countdown!
And I like esPhone.... that will be the title for it!
I'd put it back up, but Erin and Rainbow Donkey deserve at least the weekend....

Re: Merging three threads
I don't speak for LB under any circumstances, 90% because he never listens to me anyway and 10% because I try not to speak for anybody else under any circumstances. But I can tell you right now, Marley, a vote ain't gonna happen. The best we can do is lobby for our favorites because audience response will sometimes bring up an avatar that would otherwise languish in the unranked or ranked-too-low.MarleysGh0st wrote:The heck with remarks and responses and judges.

I can tell you right now that Sunchine is at the top of my list, and I can't imagine anything that would knock it off. It's also difficult to imagine RainbowDoughnut finishing lower than second on my list. I keep bringing it up because I'm trying to elicit more audience response now and then again when it's countdown time; maybe you'll remember them and be willing to add your support then.
