Monty Python Week: September 12 through 18

[The Bushranger]

Four score and twenty years ago...

...wait, what is this? This can't be right
Whoops, wrong script.
*rips up paper sheet*
Ah, here we are. This one's right.
*clears throat*

Six weeks from now, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, spam, spam, spam and SPAM!

And now for something completely different:

MONTY PYTHON (AVATAR) WEEK

Yes folks, coming up on the third (well, 2.5th) week of September is Monty Python Week. Where spam, dead parrots, spam, travel agents, spam, Brave Sir Robin, and spam invade your avatars, and throw rotten Limburger in your general direction!

Preparing starts now. Because if you don't hurry, you just might discover that this...WILL BE AN EX-WEEK!!


Gentlemen, ladies, and multi-tentatcled green blobby things: start your avatars!

Heehee!

Kneenibble needs a dead parrot.

For inspiration, the official Monty Python youtube channel. (http://forums.civfanatics.com/usercp.php)

[The Bushranger]

I need somebody to turn this:

Into this:

I can haz BR who says Ni plz? :smallbiggrin:

[Dubious Pie]

Who would be kind enough to make a Vaarsuvius as Tim the Enchanter avatar (with a obviously fake beard, of course, so not to disambiguate V's gender)?
In this pose, if possible:

[Serpentine]

Hmm. I'm thinking Gumbie Serp (My Brain Hurts!), but I'm open to ideas.

[Morty]

I'll definetly have my goblin avatar as Dennis the Peasant.
Nah, scratch that. I'll have my goblin avatar dressed up as the Hungarian person from the Naughty Hungarian Phrasebook sketch. It will be Naughty Goblin Phrasebook of course, but he'll be saying "I will not buy this record; it is scratched".

[Lioness]

Can someone please make my avatar holding a shrubbery?

Avatar be here: http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c305/Elery_celery/Meoots.png

[Spiryt]

Damn, if only Kwarkpudding was still taking requests... :smallfrown:

[SpiderMew]

Can i get a dead parrot and boxes of several differnt kinds of condoms (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifgHHhw_6g8)

[GrlumpTheElder]

"...Tis but a scratch."


"I'll bite your legs off!"
http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w192/pomchop/bite3.png


Hmmm, well I'm set...

Unless someone else wants them, I have other ideas I shall construct.

Edit: Infact, yes, these are free for use!

[ScottishDragon]

Can someone plz make me an avvie of the killer rabbit?Plz?
http://www.speckproducts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/rabbit-montypython.jpg

[VampireRot]

I'm too bored to actually make my own avvie for this (yes, that makes no sense). Would some kind and overworked soul prettypleasewithfudgerippleicecreamontop make me an avvie of either Bicycle Repair Man or a Hovercraft Full of Eels? :smallredface:

[Dmatix]

Brian:"**** off!"
Crowd: "How shall we **** off, O lord?"
Man, I love Monty Python!

[happyturtle]

"He's not the Messiah! He's a very naughty boy!"

[MartytheBioGuy]

We shall use my largest scales!

http://i907.photobucket.com/albums/ac275/Martythebioguy/Bedevere.png

See, if we constructed a large wooden badger...

[Starfols]

Aha! This avatar week shall be extremely easy for me. :smallwink:

Only question is, which python? :smalleek:

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Hmmm... my normal avatar is kinda already ready for the week.

[Viera Champion]

I have no good ideas for my avatar...

[Cealocanth]

I have no good ideas for my avatar...

Join the club. Nothing at the monty python store fit my avatar.

[Teddy]

Hmm, I'll think of something later. Perhaps I'll watch some of the Monty Python that we've got at home for ideas...

[The Succubus]

A few ideas for people:

* Someone dressed as a rabbit, with a Holy Hand Grenade being lobbed at them

* Someone being carried by *two* swallows (length of creeper optional)

* Someone torturing an old lady with THE COMFY CHAIR!!!!

* Someone in a Spanish Inquisition uniform

* Someone belting someone else with a large fish (or anything else vaguely scaly, like a half naga, half yuan-ti :smalltongue:)

More as I think of them.

EDIT: First idea editted for something better =D

[Eldan]

Ooh. Can someone turn my avatar in the "This is silly!" army officer?

[Spiryt]

Ok, so as anybody is anyway always confused about my av, who wants to :

Add him sturdy checkered pattern shirt, cap, suspenders and a bra visible from his pocket or something like that?

Some barber utensils may be somewhere as well.

http://dawnsearlylight.blogs.com/graphics/Monty_Python_lumberjack.jpg

I wish I was a girly, just like my dear papa!!!

Le Bumpeau.

[Winthur]

I'd wish to be an Upper Class Twit of the Year. And to report a burglary.

[banjo1985]

Anybody up for drawing me an Elan avatar, dressed up in a safari outfit hitting a similarly clad Nale with a large duelling fish?

I can't think of anything else more apt right now. :smallbiggrin:

[mangosta71]

Hmm...all I really need to do (or have done) is hit a bouquet of roses with my sword...Well, I guess I'd need to make the blade bloody, too...

[LCR]

Lord Flashheart approves of this.

[A Rainy Knight]

Well, my avatar for this week is already done:
http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd267/A_Rainy_Knight/SpanishInquisition.png
Nothing to do now but wait, I guess.

[Erloas]

Hmm... avatar being attacked by someone with a banana?

The classic 16 ton weight

your avatar being bit by a moose



hmm... I wonder if I could get someone to do my farseer avatar as a lumberjack. (not that my avatar really needs to be a farseer still, just never switched after the steampunk week, because pimp miko died with the Belkar's romantic interested thread and I don't have anything else)

[Winthur]

Or perhaps I could have my Gravity Defiant participate in a fish slapping dance?

The one including the majestik móóse?

No, realli! Brownie points if both characters are having an argument... or a contradiction, if you prefer. Personally, I can argue in my spare time.

Said argument can happen on a hovercraft full of eels.

[Mercenary Pen]

To be honest, I'll probably just cheat this time around... I've only just got this avatar a couple of weeks back, so I think I'll just change my location to spam, spam, baked beans and spam and re-purpose my avatar that way...

[Eldrys]

Can anyone make me an ootsified Trojan Rabbit from the Holy Grail?

[Cealocanth]

Voila! My avatar dressed as a noble Knight of Ni.

http://a.imageshack.us/img231/2166/donnartheknightofni.png

[V'icternus]

Monty Python week starts on my Birthday?

I am incredibly happy about this.

*Starts making plans. Most involve fish, bananas, old pajamas, mutton, beef and trout.*

[Forever Curious]

Would anyone mind making my avatar dressed as either 1) a member of the Spanish Inquisition, or ( if that's too real world religion), 2) the Black Knight from Holy Grail?

[GrlumpTheElder]

Silly Party.

[Partof1]

Would someone be so kind as to draw me the Green Knight during his demise at the hands of Holy Grail's Black Knight?

IE: with a sword through his helmet

Many thanks in advance :smallsmile:

[Morty]

I'll definetly have my goblin avatar as Dennis the Peasant.
Nah, scratch that. I'll have my goblin avatar dressed up as the Hungarian person from the Naughty Hungarian Phrasebook sketch. It will be Naughty Goblin Phrasebook of course, but he'll be saying "I will not buy this record; it is scratched".

Repost. There's still a lot of time of course, so no rush anyway.

[Ranger Mattos]

No idea how to Monty-fy my current avatar, since I don't know a lot of python. Anyone who does, suggestions?

[The Bushranger]

Brave Sir Robin, perhaps? :smallwink:

And repeating my request for The BR Who Says Ni. :smallbiggrin:

[Ranger Mattos]

YES! Can I have an avatarist so kind as to place my avatars head on Sir Robin and going :smalleek: at the three headed giant?

[deuxhero]

Why is it that my avatar is the only one from one of the obscurer sketches?

[Deathslayer7]

ok someone needs to help me out.

I got two ideas.

Dressed up as witch with a fake nose or put on a scale weighing the same as a duck. :smallbiggrin:

[Eldrys]

Can anyone make me an ootsified Trojan Rabbit?

repost. .

[Fable Wright]

Hmm. I'm thinking Gumbie Serp (My Brain Hurts!), but I'm open to ideas.

Idea: Somehow, work a giant snake with a nametag with "Monty" written on it into your avatar.

The image of that is stuck in my head now...

[Tulio d Bard]

Can anyone here make my avatar with soldier clothes and reading the Killer Joke?

EDIT: I think it'd be better if I asked Soterion first... Yeah, I'm doing it.

[TheFallenOne]

hm, would an avatar involving crucifixion be inacceptable by the forum rules because of the ban on religious stuff?

[happyturtle]

I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be allowed.

[Roland St. Jude]

I think there's only one thing to do. Roland as a British Constable investigating a box of Whizzo Chocolates. Any avatarists interested?

[Andraste]

I've got it!

Le Bumpeau.

[Malfunctioned]

Is there any chance an avatar could be made of me painting 'Romanis Eunt Domus' on a wall? Several times?

[Coidzor]

What about No-Time Toulouse (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Es0t50H44IE&feature=related)(skip to 4:21)?

And someone needs to be a guy in full-plate wielding a rubber chicken.

Ooo, and Koorly could be confuse a cat.

[Thufir]

Is there any chance an avatar could be made of me painting 'Romanis Eunt Domus' on a wall? Several times?

If you're painting it several times, that's after you've been corrected by the guard, and it should be 'Romani Ite Domum'. Before being corrected, 'Romanes Eunt Domus'.

[Etcetera]

Ooo, and Koorly could be confuse a cat.

You beat me to it.

Tim the sorcerer Yuri, perhaps.

[RebelRogue]

Here's my lousy attempt:

[Drakevarg]

Anyone care to Lancelot-ify my avvy?

Refrence pic if needed:
http://filmfanatic.org/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/mphg-lancelot.png

[icastflare!]

Would there be any chance that someone could draw my avatar holding a bird cage with a "Resting" parrot?

[Partof1]

Okay, my last request may be a bit violent.

Maybe rather, a soldier, prefferably, but not necessarily in a trench who has been stuck with a lemon cake and an ornate clock for his birthday.

The sketch from Meaning of Life, essentially.

[Strawberries]

I have one!

http://i1021.photobucket.com/albums/af331/strawberries1984/avatarpython-1.png

Bet you weren't expecting that.

[Deth Muncher]

Oooh, could I requisition someone to do either one of the masochistic monks or God from Holy Grail? (OOtSified, preferably.)

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Ok, gotta awesome idea for this, but would like someone who can properly do a tribble. My requests on the avatar request thread usually come out looking less than... tribblish.

Anyone have any suggestions?

[Lolzords]

Could someone do my current avatar throwing a holy hand grenade instead of throwing Boo the hamster please?

Also, could he be wearing a king arthur costume too?

Don't worry, I wont count to five.

Edit: Whoopsie daisy, forgot the full image.
http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/7233/minscboo4.png

It's important that the actual image doesn't extend further than the hamster's nose, otherwise it won't show up in the avatar. :smallfrown:

[Serpentine]

Ok, gotta awesome idea for this, but would like someone who can properly do a tribble. My requests on the avatar request thread usually come out looking less than... tribblish.

Anyone have any suggestions?I find your tribbles pretty easy (not least cuz I just trace it :smalltongue:). What's your idea?
...unless I'm one of the ones who can't do it properly :smallfrown:

[Deth Muncher]

Killer bunny tribble?
You'll see :smallwink:

[John Cribati]

Nobody will expect my avatar.

[Fable Wright]

Too... many... spanish... inquisition... avatars... :smalleek:

[happyturtle]

Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and many excellent avatars.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons....

Hey look! The week starts tomorrow! Which of course means it's time for me to put up my avatar one day early, and show off the full sized slightly-smaller-than-full-sized-so-as-not-to-break-the-forum-rules version here.

Still no BR Who Says Ni? :smallfrown:

My awful crazy period at work continues, but I can try to do this. However, if anybody else wants to try it, feel free, as I can't guarantee I'll be able to finish it in time.

On another note, since the week starts tomorrow, I'll put up my Spanish inquisition avatar a bit early. :smallsmile:

[Serpentine]

Hm. 'spose I should upload some stuff... Incoming, VT!

[Lord Raziere]

:smallannoyed: Ok, that tears it, I'm going to have to find a way to watch Monty Python to see why everyone references it so much, I'm freaking tired of this.
