1. Reply to this post with I AM SPARTACUS, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee!
From
lady_ganesh over on LJ, who picked:

I don't remember what crazy thing Beck had said, but I had just made a bunch of caps from our Muppets videos, and realized that he was really only appropriate as a slap-stick gag on the Muppet Show. It was my favorite icon to use on the rare occasions I commented over in
ontd_political, and I made a bunch of other in the news icons from the base, but they're all kind of dated right now. I need to make ones with Michelle Bachman and Ron Paul.

Yelena Rossini from Transmetropolitan. Which if you haven't read it, you should.

Maude from Big Lebowski during the Dude's dream sequence.

So long ago, I did a webcomic. One of the strips was a character named Angel (based on a RL friend)repeatedly hitting himself on the head with a fish (honestly it was funnier in context).
hanashibeta animated it. I had to steal it back.

Back when I was actively doing LJ RP we used to hang out in chat and basically use it as a dressing room. Often someone would go "poof now everyone's character is their opposite gender, or "poof, now everyone is dressed as a Japanese schoolgirl". I was playing Koumyou and Goku and didn't really like playing them in chat, because Koumyou's too laid back as a character, and Goku derails eveything. So on one occasion during "poof, now everyone's a catboy" I decided ok, Goku is now a catboy. So I had him run off to bring presents back to Sanzo, and he brought back an elephant. No one poked me about it again though XD

on 2011-09-15 12:21 am (UTC)Hey, we poked you about it plenty! Where else would you have gotten the quote for that icon? XD But you and Tenpou were always so busy. ;P
Bachmann and Paul scare me. All the GOP candidates scare me, except maybe Huntsman, and even he isn't exactly grade-A material. I have never envied your dual-citizenship so much.

on 2011-09-19 06:25 pm (UTC)Ok, I should have qualified by saying, certain people didn't pressure me to play again, not that the rest of you didn't find my response hysterical ;D
I'm really just appalled that they're not written of as the crackpots they are, that the state of journalism in this country is so pisspoor, that the MSM ignores when they say really inflammatory, treasonous things, in favor of calling Obama a fascist socialist.
I realized over the weekend that I can actually go to Canada if I ever have a health crisis. I was all one less thing to keep me up at night yay! Now to auction off who gets to marry me between my friends.
I realized when I was trying to pick icons, just how many I was in chat with you while you were making them. XD

on 2011-09-24 03:25 pm (UTC)*ahem* Apologies. Yes. Goku bringing back the elephant was hilarious. Not sure whether than or catboy!Sanzo was weirder, though. But of all our whitespace insanity, gotta say pillbug!Kanan was my favorite.
I know, right? But the MSM and a good portion of voters are just too biased themselves (and I admit to my own bias, which... at the moment is mostly 'all politicians suck ass' but still a bias) to see that everything these people are spouting off is BAD SHIT. Even ignoring the things that are downright designed to ruin our country (no, totally, who needs the EPA or NASA or Social Security or, hell, the awful OBAMACARE trying to make sure people don't go bankrupt from a health emergency. SOCIALISM!!!!!1ichi) I mean... some of the things they say... Michelle Bachmann advocating that vaccines cause mental retardation? Every single one of them saying that government should keep out of people's business... but then advocating a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT to ban gay marriage? Guys? Guys, you can hear yourselves, right?
Ha! I bet you were. I haven't made nearly as many icons lately as I used to, and a good deal of mine are from old RP accounts, which... well, you saw most of those. XD I swear I'll get the post talking about these up eventually. I actually have another installment of WTF Ticket Responses that needs to go up, too.
