...To celebrate my 2000th post (and to add to my portfolio  ).To enter: Tell me... ...why you think your avatar needs work. ...what you wish your avatar was. ...why I should make it for you. The response I like the best gets custom work from the man who created this:  (LL, was it something I said?  )Some of my work: BUCC_Guy  GoGop  AZ_Larry  Fizassist  Doublefeed  Did I miss anyone? Open to anyone, but if the winner is not a Team Member, nothing happens until I get proof that you've joined the Team. ETA: Deadline is pretty much when I feel like it, since response to this thread has been disappointingly low. |
Because I have had the same one ever since I joined and is very generic when held in comparison to my screenname. Beetle Bailey is iconic of the humor in the everyday soldier's struggle in Army life, and it is time that something special be done for this true American slacker.
It should be something similar to my screenname. Such as something cool, like a .gif of Beetle weilding, firing an AR15.
Because creating an assault rifle-weilding Beetle Bailey would be fun for you, and because it has been a long time coming that Beetle, along with his whole outfit, be better equipped for modern-day warfare than the old Garands that they are currently equipped with. |
Dang - get it right by following the instructions. BeetleBailey followed the instructions and is definitely in the running. Though I must admit, the first "alternative" I thought of involved a ladybug and a bottle of Irish Cream.

Well, Beetle, you finally did something right.  Making him run has NOT been easy, and I still have some work to do. But here are a few ideas:   Still trying to find color images - the line drawing is kinda disappointing. I'll keep going. I'm still trying to get Bailey into a Sniper billet, but I'm still getting things lined up. Pathfinder74's was a cinch to do:  (The timing can be changed.) The rest of you will just have to wait until I'm feeling benevolent again, or decide that I can't stand your lame and boring picture any longer, or Wedge1082 traps me into making a new space battle over someone else's bruised butt. |
AWESOME |
I don't know... red glowing eyes wouldn't hurt it any. |

On the photo server, log in, choose avatar/sig pic, adjust desired pic to measurements stipulated and upload. |
I didn't realize mine was in need of changing. Looks good, but I'll probably keep mine simply because it was one of my first animated gifs and I was so impressed with myself for having done it.
How about a marquee of text running along the bottom saying, "more cowbell"? |
I'm not sure I'm using the proper terminology, but by active, I mean animated. |
OR... and this one would be somewhat of a challenge... turning the |
I understand that they don't use full-auto very much any more:  But if you REALLY want to waste ammunition:  You'll need these after you're done with that brick.

I would love to get an avatar of the 6 shot bump fire I do in this vid. I can't even get the darn still images out to make a gif. Right click save as. foxxz.net/albums/album03/Mike_bump.avi |

And he even knows I don't drink.  I'll have to borrow the rifle, though.To everyone else: BeetleBailey won. Last week. Maybe I'll have another contest soon. |

I have mixed emotions about mine. I searched the net looking for a gopher and he was what I came up with. I found one other but he looked too much like a prairie dog. I could just see someone morphing that into a pink mist. Wish he wasn't so paranoid looking but then again maybe that fits too.
