Contest: ENTER Misc Avatar Contest: Ominous Portents!

[RJDiogenes]

The signs all point to a new Misc Avatar Contest on the horizon. With a major solar eclipse only about a week away, the time is ripe for doomsayers to say stuff about doom. After all, this is only the 21st century, so why not succumb to blind superstition and primitivism? This contest will be all about bad omens and ominous portents, so suck it up and enter your favorite harbingers of death, doom, and assorted chaos: Eclipses and comets, black cats and ravens, spilled salt and ladders seducing you to walk under them. Maybe even rivers overflowing and the voice of rage and ruin. I'll start off with the obvious:

Now get to it and don't delay. The End is Near! Well, not too near, because we should probably give it through next weekend to give everyone a chance to enter.

I think I'll go with the easy target.

Bwahaha. And he's looking up at the eclipse, too.

Two weeks, actually.

Here's mine:

^^ Good one.

Two weeks, yes. A reprieve!

 

[RJDiogenes]

Only three entries? That's a bad sign. Hasn't anyone been checking their tea leaves or goat entrails?

How now?

 

[RJDiogenes]

Where's the paranoia, folks?

I will probably put the voting thread up in 24 hours, so dig deep into your pits of anxiety.

The Mayan calendar, which caused a lot of people to think the world was going to end on December 21, 2012, because apparently we don't understand the concept of "cycles".

 

[RJDiogenes]

^^ Ooh, good one.

I'm going to give this another 24 hours so that any straggling weekend warriors can join in. Tomorrow morning for sure!

And the voting thread is UP!
