Mildly drunk

and sitting here, in my room of many lights, watching the unexpurgated version of QI, I find myself in playful, Memeish mood...

Behold, an icon meme! Fun for all the family!

Do any of my icons amuse/puzzle/confuse you? Point the Offending Creature out and I shall endeavour to explain.

Likewise, should you participate in the above, I shall then rudely point at one of yours and demand you explain yourself immediately!

ALSO! Is there an icon out there you think might please me and adapt well to my extensive wardrobe of same?  Plz to be pointing me in its direction for I am in the market for new iconage.

Am I even making sense? After 3 Vic and Bobs, 2 g&ts and an episode of Monkey Trousers, I would be very surprised indeed.

You have some splendid icons!

Well thankee kindly!

LOLZ! Jiff lemon, huh? Yup, that's an obscure one! It's from a sketch my sister and I wrote for a BBC show that never got into production (that happens to a lot of my/our stuff *g*) that had an elderly couple calmly seeing off an intruder by means of the Jiff lemon (do you have that? It's lemon juice; comes in a yellow plastic, lemon-shape squeezy bottle) which the woman shot into the intruders eyes, then the man threw a cat whose face had previously been dipped into the toilet water (and hence in a sitting rage) at the burglar. I hope it was funnier than I'm making it sound. Our producer loved it. I should re-pitch it somewhere.

The cat is Mr Stubbs, the family cat (my stare of evil is our dog, Hamish).

Arthur is indeed, gankable, if you would wish to take it - though I'm thinking of doing some work on it, improrve the text. I hope it brings you joy.

I think I get most of yours but what's going on in Doesn't play well with others. LOL! I like it a lot. *g*

I'd love to see that sketch, it sounds quite Pythonesque! I can picture it happening. We have the squeezy lemon juice bottles shaped like lemons although it goes by another name; Jiff here is a cleaning product for kitchen/bathroom.

Doesn't play well with others - I'm not sure what was going through the creator's mind but it always made me think of the shy child who hovers on the edge of a group, wanting desperately to join in but never having the courage to risk their rejection. So she sits on the stair, in the shadows, watching the other children having fun, both yearning to join in and at the same time despising herself for not being game enough.

And I've noticed that one of my icons is not, in fact, my icon. The one labelled "Pros B&D Hairier Chest" should look like this (points upwards) but has been replaced on my icon page by someone throwing themselves on their sword.

Thanks for the icon, too. Spreading the AoTB love!

ETA: icon is still displaying as sword-suicide lady. Does it look right from your end?

I'm seeing 'my chest is hairier than yours' alright. How bizarre...

Icon weirdness

I heard about this happening to someone else on my flist; apparently her icon and the impostor had the same http location (find by clicking on your icon and choosing Properties) except that her icon was a .jpeg file and the impostor was a .gif file. The best cure is to delete your icon and re-upload it; off to do that now.
