I vote this bestest thread 2011 for creativity.
Seconded. How much time have you spent doing all of this, demagogue?
Tocky on 28/9/2011 at 02:56
I would say 97 is Tafferboy Elvis but I have no idea what chibi means.
98 is Dusty. I still say he is Vincent Prices illegitimate lovechild.
99 is Tool Von Crescent wrench aka a cross between an elephant and a rhino.
101 is stoned.
102 is missed :(
That about it? I don't get vigils washboard or what that is around me or why but this has been fun. I was surprised to see fred chook and more surprised that Dia got him since he was before her time I think. It has also been bittersweet remembrance and I admire the effort and sentiment of it. Thanks.

@everyone that posted names in the last few posts, yes, you got them all (the 107 T-Rex is wearing Viv's ears in his profile pic, and 43 is indeed Hit Deity.)
Only 97-99 are left now (also 102 but it's obvious.)
@gunny. Like I said somewhere else, I started after that first ZB image -- when was that, last April? -- and would do 1 or 2 a few nights a week, then I'd think about ideas for other people and get inspired and it just kept going.
Some I like a lot... Looking back
- 1, Aerothorn's was conceptual, telling a story with multiple pieces, the avatar, add the blue hair, then the Gaming & Narrative stuff he posted so much about.
- 5, Aja, a number of TTLGers have been in bands, so I was happy to learn about them.
- 7 Bikerdude is talking backwards because he came back under the name edudrekib.
- 8, Bjossi, that image of Iceland with one flag was a joke someone cracked when that feature first came out -- seriously, who else is it going to be? haha -- so I can't take full credit, but it's the funniest thing I remember for him.
- 10 BR#s are insanely close to the ave. atomic weight for Bromine, so much so it shouldn't be a coincidence, but it is.
- 11, Broken Arts, a broken angel, from her shop. It just fits. =)
- 12 Buglunch speaking Zalgo. Sounds about right. The text was actually taken from one of his garbled posts too.
- 14, for CCCToad, I didn't write it; I just found it that way.
- 16, I like how clearing's has multiple things coming together -- a photo of the Siberia comet "incident" (his location is listed as Siberia), the "it finds you" 'in Soviet Russia' kind of joke, it's referring to this massive comet bearing down, there's nowhere you can run or hide, and it's true he really will find you.
- 18 David likes fast cars if you didn't know. I think this is one where I asked myself, is it really worth the effort I'm going to for these, in this case to actually put David's head on so it looks quasi-natural ... then I looked at it, and thought yes, it is.
- 22, the black hat is the age-old symbol for Digi.
- 23, I actually found "Iggle Pop" before Iggles actually became a pop and was a little disappointed I couldn't find a better one, and then like seriously the next day he posted about having a kid and I was stunned... It was suddenly the best one!
- 28, The one for fett seemed custom made, the halo, the heart, the fett mask... And the "alternate" was also touching for me, the way he looks content with living a good life.
- 32, Fragony, lol, I love the ones where it's like "It just has to be X".
- 34 & 35, how is it we have an icemann & a frozenman as top posters?
- 38, I like that Gloria's angel has a little accent mark on it.
- 40, Gray, wins the award for most efficient representation.
- 41, Gunny, another stunned moment when I found that source image, then I cleaned it up a little & added the caption... just so perfect. I had a really big smile just looking at it.
- 42, Henke, like I said before, it cracked me up and still does... he's literally a flash character... ahaha.
- 46, JediKorenchkin, the whole Jedi and SS2 link is sort of cool.
- 47 I liked the caption for John's, since he's on like Love Story 5 or something.
- 48, jtr7 and the trophy, another "It just has to be X" one...
- 49, Koki as the "Polish Troll". I thought about posting an actual dildo, like a literal cock spouting off some characteristic trolling... Sort of relieved the Polish Troll guy just fit better, haha.
- 50. Kolya. I have to say, of all of them, this was the one that made me laugh the hardest. I mean you just read the captions, 4 Stars, "A Can't Miss Crowd Pleaser", "He's so Witty and Funny", "The Ultimate Bachelor", and then you see that face, hahahaha... oh jeez.
- 54, sort of Larry's own in-joke at Garrett's best marks in school, flipped around for what his must have been.
- 55, Laz hahahahaha.
- 61, ducky, I liked multiple things coming together for this one too, the duck, the Días de los Muertos skeleton, the bend over & weewee & dynamite all in one neat package.
- 65, I really like how New Horizon turned out. Aside from the title & Canada flag it's not even that connected to him, but he likes photoshopping his face into these kind of cool scenes, so I did it like one of those, and you see him in the car.
- 66, another perfect find for nickie
- 69, for Para?noid I think the google image search was something like "absolute chaos", add the ? and it just seemed ... right.
- 71, "We want Paz!"
- 73, for queue, ahaha. Another option was a queue to get into a seedy sex shop, but the queue part wasn't clear at all (it was more of a mass), but this one you can just see it.
- 77, I think RBJ's was the first conceptual one where I put things together (like Aerothorn's); it's a poster for the Michael Clayton movie, the New York "fixer" lawyer... And I love that quote.
- 78 Sailoreagle, haha, I was almost holding back because it's so ridiculous, but I thought what the hell. She's not here anymore to defend herself mwahahaha! (j/k)
- 80 I liked how almost inevitable Scots turned out.
- 86, Sluggs, Yes, somebody out there in deviantART literally made a "slug train" image where a slug is a train.
- 89, starrfall another perfect one, the star with a parachute.
- 90, Stitch, Perverted & Proud. I didn't know about his band and that back history, so it was good to read about it and get that insight fwiw, even if it's old history now.
- 92, Stronts, just the expression on that face cracks me up, like this look of utter contempt.
- 93, SubjEff's I just really like how it turned out
- 99, TNT, another one where the pieces fit together nicely (to me), the "explosion of wrenches" (she likes bashing things in SS2 with wrenches).
- 103, I never knew Ulukai was from a game. Guess I need to play it sometime...
- 106, Vigil, another conceptual storytelling one... I really like how the vigil just naturally blends right into his site's art.
- 110, Zaccheus, This was really touching to me. If my hopes mattered for anything, I'd hope it was just like that, with the butterflies and the sunshine and a happy-looking Jesus in the distance with the halo and everything.
- 112, and I mentioned before the ZB one was the one that started the whole idea. It still cracks me up. I think my original idea was to do a whole image series of 1980s ZB computers showing contempt for its users, and I made one (that I linked; still might do that sometime). But I'm happy it occurred to me to try other people too. Can't remember who I did first, I think ducky, but mostly it was starting at the top of the post-count list and working down.
Another thing, I can't believe after 100 of these, no one noticed and posted about the order these were posted in... I mean just look at the list, lol. People kept making guesses that were waay off the order right up to the end...

Double posting for Tocky's post he got in.

98 is Dusty. I still say he is Vincent Prices illegitimate lovechild.
99 is Tool Von Crescent wrench aka a cross between an elephant and a rhino.
101 is stoned.
102 is missed :(
That about it?
More or less yes, except for 99, a person which does have something to do with an explosion of crescent wrenches (the only person I know where you could get away with posting a wrench in their birthday thread), but not dear old Tool Von Crescent. So only 99 is left then.
"Chibi" is Japanese slang for mini-sized characters, so it fit with him being a boy Elvis. Not that great, but there's only so much you can do with "Taffer Boy Elvis".

The address of his site was something like washboardabs.com.

I'm guessing it's the Tocky clock that "talks" to you. Do an image search for Tocky. The image is pretty much unchanged except for your face & the 3 captions. Pretty sure it was a late night when I let that one pass the QA dept. :)

The girl who kept a wrench for protection and I can't recall her name.
Al_B on 28/9/2011 at 05:16
TheNightTerror? Not seen her post much recently but wasn't she keen on wrench only runs of SS2?
Matthew on 28/9/2011 at 09:49
That's her all right.

Great thread. Damn that must have taken you a while.

Awesome thread, demagogue! :D
