Aurora asked me about...

I forget what prompted me to think up this icon, but that would be my response upon waking up and seeing medical masks and Jonas's upside-down grin. Shaggy (from Scooby Doo) actually says "zoinks", I later found out, but I've always heard "zoiks", so damn the torpedoes. It's multi-purpose, like most of my icons – for comments about things medical, Janet, Jonas, or things that require the response "zoiks!".

Inspired by

niamaea's series on Jack fashion. Because, despite all reasons to the contrary, I still find Jack hot. Yes, even when he dresses like that. That stance is the stance of a man who can wear the most outrageous crap and know that people will still swoon at his feet. Bastard.

Two uses for this one – for when I'm consciously being English / British, or for when I'm talking about food. I do both quite a bit. :)

...It's a long story.

Okay, okay. It's from a series called 'Black Books', which I'm constantly trying to get people to watch. The shot is from the end of an episode – Manny, the man wearing a hot water bottle and with 'EAT ME' scrawled on his chest, suffers from "Dave's Syndrome". We never really find out what that is, or what happened, but at the end of the episode, as the camera slowly pans across a scene of devastation, ice-cream scattered everywhere, Manny jumping up and down on the hood of a car and yelling incoherently... it looks like a loooong story.

I was going through an attempt to have icons for every main character Stargate combination (still need to make a Sam/Teal'c one). This is useful for Jack/Daniel slash or friendship (or annoying-the-hell-out-of-one-another). Plus I think Jack was being very cute just there, and deserved lolcatification.

So there you are. They're all made by me, because I'm funny about that. I like to have ones that I won't get confused with other people's (although I have seen the 'still hot' one around the interwebs, but I did say it was snurchable). I've been trying to conquer my need to have the perfect icon every time, because I only have 110 spaces, and that's not quite enough.

Hee, I still need to do a Jack/Teal'c icon, myself (and my Jack/Daniel one doubles as my Mr. Wood one because...oh come, on, how can you resist that shot? LOL), but I already have more icons I want to use than I have space for them.

Such quandries. :-)

I didn't know about the

niamaea thing, so...cool! I've always wondered the story behind that caption (were you a sekrit Jack/Harry shipper?)

Yes, the Jonas shot is very Scooby-Doo.

Hee to scone and long story.

Heh, yes, I know the problem - as I go on, I'm gradually losing the icons that only have one use, and keeping the multipurpose ones (I removed a load of captions, recently, so as to make things more flexible). It's a hard life, being a perfectionist, isn't it? *g*

I've always wondered the story behind that caption (were you a sekrit Jack/Harry shipper?)

That's not Harry! That's... the garage attendant guy who nearly created an international crisis in the one with the invisible bugs.

And you didn't know the niamaea thing? Have you seen her first post, then - which was all about Daniel's fashion-sense (or lack thereof)? Because if not, you have to see it NOW! http://niamaea.livejournal.com/11215.html

Did you want to explain more icons, by the way? :)

Oh you're right! I was thinking it was from their Butch and Sundance routine (probably because I try very hard to forget "Sight Unseen" whenever possible).

And sure if you want me too. It's fun, isn't it?

You don't like Sight Unseen? The giant, invisible bugs didn't work for you?

Yes, lots of fun! Okay... hm, you have some lovely icons there... Okay, these:

The "And yet I'm still hot" icon cracks me up every time! Gah - how does he do it?

And of course, I adore your scone icon. ;)

I love these. Sometimes I stop really seeing icons, you know? And these are hilarious. :-)

(Yes, you can pick some icons for me to 'splain. Ultranos picked some for me... here (http://ultranos-fic.livejournal.com/45523.html?thread=201939#t201939).)

Oh, yes - once you get used to them, you forget they're a picture of something, and they just mean 'X has said something'.

Excellent... These:

#2 bwhahahaha!

*g*

Want icon choices?

Feel free to ignore if you didn't, though. :)

I'm procrastinating. Ask me!

Always happy to help people procrastinate!

omg, is that Bill Bailey?!
HEEEE I have irrational love for him (I can quote practically the whole of Part Troll from memory).

Scone!

Oh yes. Bill Bailey. More Bill Bailey than you necessarily want to see. ♥ Bill Bailey (and Dylan Moran).

Iconses, if you wants to explain:

LJ: give me my notifications! You are delaying my procrastination!

(Thank you!)

eta: this is perhaps the only thing that comes close to my love for Bill Bailey: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TOHFv602nug *cracks up*

Bill Bailey is hilarious. I especially love him in Hot Fuzz where he's playing his twin :D

Also - me!!!

*boggles at self* I appear to have forgotten that bit in Hot Fuzz. I need to see it again sometime. I mostly just remember the bit where Simon Pegg rides down the high street on a horse.

Icons!

I'd like to play!--if you can find five of my icons worth inquiring, that is. Mine are pretty boring, and I don't have a whole lot yet. I'm thinking of getting a permanent account when those go on sale, and I have to say, userpics are a major factor!

Heh - you know, I was eyeing the permanent accounts for exactly the same reason, the other day. *g*

Icons!:
