The official last call

... with less than 3 hours to go, this is the official last call for custom avatars at 100 posts. There are a few of you that are close enough to make it before the number goes up.

There also a few of you that have either just reached custom avatar status, or have reached it and haven't asked me for a custom avatar yet.

So, if you are OWED a custom avatar, please post here exactly what you would like and we will do our best to accomodate you. Please remember that bigger avatars like mine are only for 500 posts or more, and that to keep the 100x100 pixel size in mind when you are trying to think of something that you would like for your avatar.

On another note, there will be some new avatars in the public gallery tomorrow thanks to NC43Hog. There's a lot to running this site, and I take help where I can get it, so when Scott offered to help me out, I was very appreciative. You'll see his name change to 'mod yellow' very soon as we welcome another happy member to thehogs.net brethren of volunteers.

i would also like to extend a special congratulations to both gambit187 and SirSmizzy who have both earned custom avatars. As much as it will pain me to make both a Cowboy and a Jet custom avatar, 100 posts in a foreign teams board, is an achievement in itself and speaks to the civility that these two guys USUALLY conduct themselves with.

So let me have it boys... what crap avatars do you want? And congrats and our thanks for being such avid participants of this forum.

Wow! I'm at 116, but I didn't know I got a custom avatar. How about either Calvin pissing on a Cowboy helmet, or just something cool with Smoot. Thanks!!

Boss,

I would like a avatar of roy williams number with the cowboys' star in the background turned upside down!!

the number upside down, the star upside down or both???

I gotta say.... I think this is gonna look like a Cowboy avatar, but it's your choice...

And tx_skins_fan... pretty good chance it'll be Smoot, unless you have the picture you are talking about readily available and can e-mail it to bosshog@thehogs.net

Boss, I will be honored to get a custom avatar for all the hard work I have done.

Besides, it will help me with my recovery.

My name is OafusP and I am a Redskinholic (instead of Hog?)

Hook me up with a Simpson's Barney character w/ a Redskin background if possible.

Thanks!

OK, oafusp, i'll see what I can do...

But only if you tell me what the hell 'oafusp' is and how you pronounce it?

Oh-ah-fus-pee?

Oaf-usp

Oh-ah-fusp

And I got the e-mail thanks.

gambit187 and SirSmizzy = CLOSET REDSKIN FANS

it is ok, we all accept those that want to be accepted, even if they can't admit it. Someday you will cross over cause you know we are the true die-hard fans.

Buddy, a star upside down still looks like a star if you know what I mean?

How about a limp star? or an Indian scalping a cowboy...as a matter of fact, if anyone can find an Indian scalping a Cowboy I would love to use that as an avatar.

Help?

I have been thinking about what I can do Boss. Is there anyway that you can take a cool picture of Joe Gibbs and put a Halo over his head like our Redskins angel. I dont know if that sounds lame but I dont have any other ideas. Any help on your part to make it not look lame is much appreciated. Thanks.

Smizz... no animated gifs... but if you look around you will see that nobody else has one either so I don't want you to take it personally.

You can have any non pornographic static image you want.

oafusp... I didn't even have to do anything... NC43 Hog whipped up that bad boy for you and I am pretty sure you won't want that baby changed.

Don't worry, I'll just stay at your house when I come to training camp! :lol: just kidding!

By the way I am related to Barney - taught him everything he knows :wink:

Hey Boss, how do we use our gallery?
What is the gallery?

I went to the lingerie bowl and would like to post some of my pictures...i had VIP access and got some really good pictures.

There is no galleries sorry... I don't have the resources to give everyone the ability to upload images and have any hope of moderating it all.

Anyone can always e-mail photos either to photos@thehogs.net or directly to me at BossHog@thehogs.net.

Did I reply too late? Everyone's new avatar is working, but mine is the same.

Hey Boss - what would you think of that one picture I sent you that you liked with "Hog Dog" in burgundy across the bottom of it? :)

Under my name it can read "The Analyzer" instead of the ***

Just figured it was time to change my duds :)

You can put my retired uni on the avatars board for people to use if you wanna :)
