When Avatars lead to random web searches.

tINmOUSE · 07-06-2008, 09:42 AM

I was reading the new readius thread when I noticed petermillard's totally scary robot-of-death-like-evilness-with-optional-nightmare-of-doom-glare AVATAR (which is totally awesome - YA for robot-head!).

Anyways after I recovered sufficiently and grabbed a new pair of pants I wondered, naturally, what other robot-nightmare vision lay out there on the web. Found this review The Five Worst Robots of All Time.

For the record I totally disagree with the first one on the list.
G*d D**M IT! mechaGodzilla dude. enough said.

I wondered what other boredom inspired web-searches avatars might spawn???

well i'm sure i've done my share of avatar-inspired websearches in my time, although none come immediately to mind, but i have to agree that petermillard's avatar is absolutely brilliant. i love it.

i would also like to commend you on the creation of possibly the silliest single tag yet :
"avatar boredom taco." we're glad you showed up, tinmouse. i knew you were going to fit right in around here.

tINmOUSE · 07-06-2008, 09:48 AM

wow - that was quick.
Thought I'd get away with the 'taco' tag for awhile yet.

zelda_pinwheel · 07-06-2008, 09:50 AM

Teh Pinwheel sees all.

tINmOUSE · 07-06-2008, 10:34 AM

It all becomes clear to me.

the great pinwheel in the sky theory
(well actually not I guess but how else can I throw in this totally off-subject-word-play-on-Zelda's-username link????)

Sky-Pinwheels. Monster Death-Ray or Pretty Lightshow?
(ok so I made up the title myself).

probably best not to find out for sure, don't you think ?

tINmOUSE · 07-06-2008, 11:30 AM

lol.

though Zelda_Death_Ray is kinda catchy but I guess it gives the game away, right?

And ZP never shoots anything she won't eat, even with the Zelda_Death_Ray. She's a good vegetarian.

I know, she EATS THEIR BABIES! Well, at least the corn, beans, peas & tomatoes.

Life: it's a meal!

Or, as I once heard, everything you eat is/was alive - it's just that some of it moves.

tINmOUSE · 07-07-2008, 04:27 AM

Things that never lived that we eat.

salt. we eat salt. and um taco's (gathered from deep taco mines as everyone knows).
and water (well ok 'drink')... oh OH and we consume sunlight (vitamin D I think).
And those sandwiches you buy from venting machines.
