Tis the season to be jolly... and to change our avatars again!

Tanukitsune · 11-30-2003, 05:51 PM

Xmas is near, so its time to pick a good Xmas avatar!
Here is the Xmas Dopefish as my avatar for Xmas! Swim swim hungry!
People were getting freaked out by the previous avatar anyway...

And here is a little treat from Blizzard!

He he, I just added a new phrase to my "sig" as a "Xmas bonus", it's rather silly...

Now that I think of it, what's the 12 days of Xmas song all about? The 12 days before or after Xmas?

Hedini · 11-30-2003, 08:23 PM

Hm, I guess Xmas is a good time to change an avatar... although I usually change mine not too often. :-)

BacardiJim · 11-30-2003, 08:28 PM

The 12 Days of Christmas start with Christmas and continue through the next 12 days until the Catholic (and Anglican and Episcopalian) holiday of Epiphany, which is the "thirteenth day of Christmas." (Note: In England, the "first day" is Dec. 26 and Epiphany is the twelfth day.) Epiphany celebrates the day that the Wise Men arrived in Bethlehem to witness Christ and declare him the future King of the Jews. Although the practice has mostly died out here in practical America (our loss), in many European cultures it is still common to celebrate the entire period from Christmas to January 6 as the "Christmas season." I suspect that it has much to do with marketing and merchandising that has led Americans to be convinced that the "Christmas season" (read "buying season") runs from Thanksgiving until Christmas.

I'm in

Ben's just one of those crazy Christmas drivers. You know the type.

mycroft · 11-30-2003, 09:17 PM

Err...

Can anyone help me out here...?

How about this?

BacardiJim · 11-30-2003, 09:26 PM

How's this?

Bard09 · 11-30-2003, 09:26 PM

Heh, you beat me to it, Tanukitsune.

That's one mean looking Santa.

BacardiJim · 11-30-2003, 09:27 PM

LOL.... what a friendly, helpful group. I added a little green mist to the upper left because is was so glaringly white.

mycroft · 11-30-2003, 10:21 PM

Thanks BJ and Tanukitsune...
What a friendly,helpful group indeed.

And a mean,nasty Santa...

Man, I really can't go and add some jolly christmas feature to my dramatic-looking avatar... It would just look stupid.
That's what you get when you're taking yourself too seriously.

doughy white · 11-30-2003, 10:47 PM

What a good idea! I guess people were kinda disturbed by my avatar too, Tanukitsune.
With Christmas ahead I don't want to deprive the er, pixel freaks amongst you of the full size pic, so click here to go drooling over the whole body.

What are you doing here on your special day?

Happy Birthday Ninth!

Sorry, but you have to celebrate with real people for real presents.

Oh, nice! Can I use that pic if Nico wins the Miss Adventure 2003 contest?

I stole it myself from the site in the link, so I can't advise you that.
