Please feel fee to post in this thread your idea about what a TOUAMBIE would look like.
I think it's a golden rollerskate on a pedestal shaped like a martini glass with a thong draped over it.
Those of you with skills feel free to photoshop up the award we'll be giving. Post the pics so we can choose a winner.
-
I think it looks like Maaaaaking love in a Limo on an Airplane on a Spaceship bound for Space. (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=10122004)
But I doubt you could photoshop that.. maybe the "Fuckin'" poster all by itself would be sufficient.
-

Seconded.
-
Given these boards, maybe Calvin pissing on the Achewood logo would be more appropriate.
-
But Fuckin' ... Jough... FUCKIN'!
Do you not hear the bang of my snap drum?!
Fuckin'!
(Pardon me, I'm kind of swerved, even though it's not IRC time.)
-
A License Plate Holder that tells everyone exactly how the vehicle was bought would be ideal.
However a Fuckin' Poster is awesome.

YEAH! I like his idea. We need to see more butt fuck*ng!
-

Actually, no. No, we do not.
-
Actually, no. No, we do not.
Well now actually... that all depends.
Er.. I mean.. of course I agree with V-adore in her wisdom.
*bats eyes innocently*
-
Not on the couch, fellas.
Also, bring it back to topic! Who will design and submit their vision of the TOUAMBIE?
-
AD, I had the best of intentions. I Google Image Searched all the aforementioned components (martini glass, draping thong, roller skate, &c.), opened Photoshop, played around, and realised that I have no skills to speak of.
But I tried!
-
I'll work something up this weekend.

I'll work something up this weekend to possibly post right after jough does if mine turns out better than his.

Oh, you win the passive-aggressive egoist award for sure. And what do you win? A tiny can of Dr. Pepper of course.
Also, they have the make-your own shrink-i-dink sets for sale a the local craft store, but they're so stupid expensive for clear sheets of plastic- like $15 for an 8 x 10 (with apparently special pens that look suspiciously crappy and are the only ones you're supposed to use on the stupid plastic) otherwise I'd suggest we get all crafty and make some small cans of Dr. Pepper that you could shrink down to tiny size yourself in your very own oven. Although I remember making Shrink-i-dinks as a kid and being annoyed at the smell and sort of disillusioned by the final result. "Yeah grandma, they got smaller. Who cares? Sigh."

You can do this with Styofoam(tm) cups, too. (Oh, the things you learn in Girl Scouts...) Theoretically, one could decorate a cup to look like a fake Dr Pepper fan and then oven-shrink it; it would be entirely possible, albeit maybe just a wee bit sad.
-
Okay, here's my pass at making a TOUAMBIE:

The tiny can of Dr Pepper makes this. Nice.
-
Jough, I hate to be critical, but to me that can is not nearly tiny enough.
-
Truly, jough, that is a Work of Art.
-
It looks terrific. But, more fuckin'?
-
I am in love with it! It is a love story!
It's a white skate. It could say "Fuckin'" in that fancy script with the little silhouette on it.
I'm slightly worried about handing out potentially deadly roller skates to people, though.
The Dr Pepper is a beautiful board-centric touch.
-
I'm not happy with the martini glass, but it's the only one I have. I don't even have a set - just that one. I think I got it as a gift with things stuffed into it because I was in a wedding party or something.
Anyway, I'll see if I can work "Fuckin'" into it. Does anyone have a link to that strip so I can grab the image?
-
Here it is. (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=08072002)
-
It's frickin' awesome, but the thong isn't working for me?
~Paul
-
Now that Paul mentions it, it might be nicer without the thong. Less cluttered.
But the fuckin' is awesome.
-
Thank you for tiny-fying the can.
Yes, I think maybe don't get rid of the thong, but move it - perhaps carelessly tossed at the base fo the award, you know at the bottom of the Martini Glass. Perhaps liquid in the Glass?
I don't know, but it's freakin' awesome.
-
I seriously don't mean to be nit-picky, but the actual tiny Dr Peppers are more compressed vertically - I think they're the same width (diameter?) as a standard can, but only like 2 or 2.5 inches tall. So, just saying.
I mean, it's not like I'm Pat or anything.
NINJA EDIT!
Also, I meant to say that it is indeed awesome as it exists.

Hey man, when we talk of tiny cans, we're not talking about the tiny cans you can actually buy. When it's karma cans, I imagine these cans being so small that they contain only enough liquid to just barely moisten your tongue. In fact, for me, if we're talking roller-skate-to-tiny-can-ratio, I figure you could easily fit a whole six pack of tiny cans into a single skate.
-

Yeah, this is exactly where it should be.
-
Yeah, I'm not talking about those squat 8 oz. cans they serve on airplanes and in minibars and such - I'm talking about a regular-shaped can, only really tiny, holding maybe 1 oz. of Dr Pepper. They're not little cans - they're tiny cans.
I'll maybe do something with the thong. It's hard to find a thong photo that looks like more than a tapered piece of black nothing.
-
I like. Can we put a little caption for each category on the bottom (e.g. "Most Valuable Newbie") and shrink the whole image a little so that the winners can use them as avatars for a little while if they like?
Or would that unfairly force people to actually read people's usernames at the top of their posts instead of relying on avatar-recognition like we've all gotten used to doing?
-
Hey Jamie.
Feel free to make giveaway avatars if you like. I have no such skills.
Most Valuable N00b isn't a category at the moment. Maybe we need a few Mod-decided categories though.
-
I doubt I could top that. I didn't try though.
-
The embossed Fuckin' looks great. I can almost feel the carved leather texture on my fingertips – one could read it blindfolded.
Now that's a handicap-accessible trophy – It's like Jough cares or something!

People,
The TOUAMBIE needs to incorporate this image (http://www.bobbyisosceles.com/images/touambie.jpg) somewhere: Perhaps for Honorable mentions:

Oh, it could be worse:
[old]Back in my day, all we had was giraffe placenta and we had to walk ten miles in ice to go to school, uphill both ways, except school wasn't invented yet, so we would just walk in the snow to a barren patch of land and stand for eight hours...[/old]

Bobby, I just spent a minute trying to figure out what was wrong with that cat photo, but I couldn't.
I give up. In what way is your avatar deranged and/or disgusting?

Maybe it's a male calico and therefore has an extra chromosome?
-
Maybe it just fucked my mom?

I doubt it. I'd probably would've run into it before if that were the case.
Well somebody had to say it.

Perception is nine-tenths of the law or something like that.

Man, I bet that cat just shot fifty loads after a long cockrub session with Bobby. Aren't you cute, Klinefelter Cockrub-Warrior Kitty?

They're too busy shooting fifty loads on each other after barbed cockrub sessions:

Oh no! It was that discussion of V's childhood equestrian trauma in the chat room last night that did it. Guys, look what you have done. For shame.

Yeah, I think I may have just turned evil.
Be honest: you've read worse supervillain origin stories.
