Contest: ENTER Misc Avatar Contest: 2017 - The Year To Come

[RJDiogenes]

Welcome to the first Avatar Contest of the new year! Since our final contest of 2016 looked back on a year of record-breaking crappiness to find whatever goodness was buried there in the steaming pile, let's continue in that optimistic vein. Many are looking forward to 2017 with dread, but let's imagine what good there might be. If we're nice to 2017, it might surprise us. Your optimistic predictions can be either personal or public. Getting married this year? Show us your ring. Are you a conspiracy nut? Show us what the un-redacted JFK files will reveal. No media, though, so let's leave Discovery and Episode VIII out. The usual avatar rules apply, whatever they are.

I'll start off with this:

The Lunar X-Prize. 2017 may see a return to the surface of the Moon, this time by private entrepreneurs! Heinlein would be so proud!

Okay, folks, go to it. One avatar cannot change the present, but one avatar can summon the future!

Would a comedic unreal entry be permitted?

 

[RJDiogenes]

I'm not sure what that means. Let's have a look at it.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Come on, folks! Nothing at all to look forward to in 2017? Where's your sense of false hope? Your capacity for denial? Your baseless faith in a Deus Ex Machina?

Well, the most positiive non-media (and even that is not quite 100%) thing I could come up with where I also had a picture to work with, was the next Comic Con Germany in July.

Already got my ticket.

I look forward to the most adorable, fluffy and purple-ish death from above ever:

Well here is my entry, I admit it can be taken two ways, but how I wish it to is that he'll implode and become the non-entity he should have been in the first place:

I'm trying to get a 2017 picture, but my DeLorean is in the shop right now.

In seriousness, I'm still trying to come up with something.

Well here is my entry, I admit it can be taken two ways, but how I wish it to is that he'll implode and become the non-entity he should have been in the first place:

a) I don't think that's what an implosion looks like.
b) If he goes, Pence takes over. #NotSureWhichIsWorse
c) The other way it can be taken is probably the much more likely outcome.

That works.

"This time... it's personal."

I'm sure having to actually work for a living will have this effect on him.

Actually, I wondered if somebody might use the 2017 DeLorean.

a) I don't think that's what an implosion looks like.

It's not.

b) If he goes, Pence takes over. #NotSureWhichIsWorse

I know.

c) The other way it can be taken is probably the much more likely outcome.

Possibly, but fingers crossed, it won't be.

I'm sure having to actually work for a living will have this effect on him.

There's hoping.

I hope this year to achieve a new level of inner peace that I have not heretofore experienced.

 

[think]

this year I plan to bend the space-time continuum and expose my third eye ... for buying new glasses.

That's the spirit!

Didn't see that coming....

Seven entries. Not too bad. I'll put the poll up over the weekend just to give a little bit of time for more entries. There's got to be more things to look forward to in 2017. The new DeLorean, the total solar eclipse, impeachment. Let's make the Avatar Contest great again!

 

[RJDiogenes]

Okay, folks, the new contest is up here.
