MGoBlog Avatar Tourney?
As some of you may have noticed, there is a little basketball tournament going on right now.
It seems appropriate to suggest that the MGoBlog community should have a tournament of our own.... specifically, an Avatar tourney.
I don't suggest this because I think my Avatar would fair well. As far as the "eye candy" Avatars go, mine is one of the least impressive, especially from the perspective of those who do not understand the significance behind my Avatar.
It is just that I know that there are some pretty good ones out there and I think it would be fun to pit them up against each other, tournament style.
This would take the initiative of someone with a little more programming savvy than me to organize and host. If someone took on such a thing, they can and should set up the tourney their way. With that said, I will still offer one suggestion.
There should be a minimum number of MGoPoints established for your avatar to be considered, only because the tourney would mean more with Avatars that are recognizable.
I contemplated posting this as a diary, but I figured I'd let the responses dictate whether or not it is worthy. If the idea is not well received, I can let the post quietly die. Without further ado.... Good idea? Can it be easily done?
PS: SPARTY, NO! (just witnessed the Aggies take the lead for the first time)
Magnus wins.
I think the guy who has this one would take the Eye Candy Region:
A Winner! Haven't seen any better eye candy.

Her name is Rachel. And no, you can't have her. Even if you try redeeming her through Mgopoints.
I'd also like to throw a mention out to the Lucy Pinder avatar....

This photo:
I'm slightly less attracted to her.
She's a little too friendly with the second girl. She should have been punching her face, or slapping her face, or spitting in her face, or sitting on her........ I digress.
March 20th, 2010 at 12:56 AM ^
I don't think she's being nearly friendly enough?
the water in that pic is amazing.
Wait, what?
The handkerchief was yellow you sex addict. I suggest you slay that wizard alien in Independence Hall before you have to start issuing public apologies.
Oh crap. I don't want to buy a Batman costume.

I sure hope my avatar is true.....
Thanks for the shout. Time to rise and fire.
March 19th, 2010 at 11:32 PM ^
I was the first to ever have that avatar. Now like 3-4 people have had it. Kinda like that one girl from the women's football camp last year.
3-4 people had the woman at the woman's football camp last year?!? Was there an MGoGangbang after all? Or was there a line?
Why doesn't anybody tell me about these things...
March 20th, 2010 at 11:11 PM ^
She still totally wins.
March 20th, 2010 at 10:32 AM ^
There has to be some in the MGoPublic that dig a fat, dumb guy. I mean, look at that flexibility. Plus, you know the fat, ugly ones try harder.
I don't think we should be so discriminatory in the Eye Candy Region...
OK, but only if we use the "who would beat whose asses" method the same way people do for the NCAA brackets, in which case, I got swords bitches.
Oh yeah? I'd get something more awesome than a sword from Acme.
(It would fail, but still, it would seem awesome).
the criterion is "who can most efficiently kick his own ass"
March 19th, 2010 at 10:21 PM ^
would certainly fail alright, but he'd fail spectacularly!
Checkmate.

I got guns biotch
March 19th, 2010 at 10:21 PM ^
...silver bullets.
I will forever upvote your avatar because I am full of myself.
Because I can't really take credit for it. But you can (on both counts). But I can claim it's the toughest. At least till someone one-ups it.

I'm not sure, but they might be talking about this broad:
But of course they could be referring to this beautiful woman:
EDIT: Damn, I must have been drunk when I posted this, this was totally supposed to be a reply further up, you know, where people were actually were talking about MGoFootballCampGirl.
It was still "WIN".
Though if they did mean the second pic, I'm glad I wasn't one of the ones who "had" her.

Don't forget that Monkey has a gun, and he's already aimed.
March 19th, 2010 at 10:44 PM ^
I do not have guns. But I am also voiced by H. Jon Benjamin.
March 19th, 2010 at 11:10 PM ^
You may not have guns, but you've got killer pecs.
jetpack, lasers, being jabba the hut's kind of scum
...being beat up by a blind guy...
I got God. ... And The Forcier.
I would give it to the "Trololololo' guy with the Winged Helmet in his hair.
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
Gay Batman
Woot! If Gay Batman wins, he just might get a little block M on his bat-pants.
but he has an Uncle Jessie "Have Mercy" avatar. It doesn't get anymore win than that.

Big Boutros might win the Eye Candy Region
Big Boutros is going to the CBI in the Eye Candy region.

I'll bite. Please tell us the significance of your avatar.
(This should be good.)

Not too long ago, someone started a thread about U of M myths.
I shared my experience with an urban legend that went around when I was a student; My sophomore year, there was a rumor that Niki Taylor, the supermodel in my Avatar, was enrolled as a freshman. As ridiculous as that was, it was still worth verifying. And I did. There was indeed a Nicole Taylor enrolled but, alas, it was not her.
After that thread, I switched my Avatar to a photo of Niki. No one else gets the significance, but that isn't my intent. It helps remind me of the time that I knocked on some girl's door after a night of partying because there was a chance that she was a supermodel. I chuckle every time I think of it.
I'm sorry if the story isn't as good as you were hoping. Believe me.... I wish I could have told you the version where the rumor was confirmed.

Q: So what did she say (and what did she look like)?
March 19th, 2010 at 11:18 PM ^
African American.
I can't remember what was said. I seem to recall that she looked at me like, "what the hell does this drunk cracker want."
When is that not funny?
(And I think I was the one who mentioned there WAS a girl on campus who looked like Nikki, perpetuating the rumor).
March 20th, 2010 at 11:50 AM ^
Always thought your avatar was Karen McDougal. Thanks for clearing this up.
March 19th, 2010 at 10:29 PM ^
Okay, then, I'm going back to the Elise Ray avatar. She's still hawt.
Coach Stu reporting for duty. I am personally a big fan of the winged hair Russian dude.
