How about a best Chipcom based Avatar Thread?

Mine is up, who's next?:D

Let's make this a contest! I will pay for a red star membership for the best avatar. If the winner already has a red star, then the winner can donate the red star to some other lucky person?

How about it Tom? Who should be the judge? We need an impartial judge.

Are you aware of how many toes it would take to make your wedding cake, much less the dress?

Cake: Approximately 3,175. Dress: Approximately 11,250. Why do you ask?

Just seeing if the order can be filled locally or would imports be needed.

Well, I already have a Red Star and since I proposed it, I'll be fair. I agree also to make Chip a judge....after all it's his mug I proposed! For fairness sake, I think there should be a third as well, perhaps a Mod?:D

East Hill
03-26-07, 04:11 PM
All right! Perhaps we could dragoon Brian, as he'd be one of the two that would add that shining red star...and he doesn't come down here into Foo that often. We need someone who doesn't Foo much to be an impartial judge...

Sounds good to me! Or Donnamb, or PC2 even! I'm going to request a Mod to change the title to A Modest Proposal: Chipcom Avatar Contest!

East Hill
03-26-07, 04:17 PM
So Chipcom and a moderator to be named later. Perhaps the mods could talk it over and decide who wants this awesome responsibility. Oh, and we need a cutoff date and time.

Proposed cutoff: 1 week, perhaps a Mod could also throw a stickey on it until then?:D

So, we need Chipcom, and a brave moderator. The contest to start when we snag a moderator, for one week.

Perhaps we can get the moderator to prune the excess from this thread, and just allow you to start all over, with an announcement as a CONTEST FOR A RED STAR!

STARRING CHIPCOM, AS BEST AVATAR.

Okey dokey then! The contest is off and running with our first entry, from Turboem! Chi0p, Brian and I are the Judges panel and East Hill as you see above has very generously offered up a red star to the winner! If a Red Star holder wins, then they get to decide who the star goes to. Good luck to all entrants and may the best photoshopper win!

Make your best effort at a Chipcom Avatar and submit here!

Contest ends in one week from this posy at 9:15 PM EDT!

I'll kick in 2 "runner-up" prizes. I have 2 extra of these bike stickers:

What you see is one cut up to fit the chainstay. The sticker itself is about 1"X4".

Here's mine.

After pondering Chipcom's facial structure for a good long time (at least two swigs of beer) I found a remarkable similarity to the face of actor Bert Lahr. After exhaustive internet research (meaning a 15 second Google search) I came upon the subject photo. After nearly severing a couple of fingers with my digital x-acto knife you are privleged to gaze upon the results, plus Chipcom's photos already come with requsite facial hair.

Shouldn't the avatar be avatar size? I'll throw in another membership for the runner-up as well.

Brian, When is Botto's vacation up> I hate to have a contest like this without him being here to make an entry...since he made this one.

I think my avatar is probably disqualified...but if the other judges agree, it can be Botto-the-banned's entry, since he created it.

A second submission?

I agree that the avatar should be avatar sized. But posters should be available for purchase as well. ;)

I have no idea when Botto returns, but I suppose I can check on that. Oh, cheers to you for throwing in another membership.

I think they banned him sometime this weekend, so he'll probably be back in time to submit something that will totally embarrass me. :eek:

I'd have no problem with this avatar being Botto's entry either. We never said a temporarily banned member couldn't compete after all. A liberal interpretation suggests it's cool!:)

Can I suggest renaming the thread title: Chipcom Avatar Contest - win a free BF membership

It might provide a little more incentive, especially for those still recovering from icepicking their eyes out over the last few chipcom photo threads.
