Well. My day started exceptionally happily today, as

frausorge sent me a link which filled me with joy.

Lance! Lance, looking so pretty! A single, perfect tear...

I'm still not gonna eat that stuff tho'

Also, Lance was hanging out with Alan Cumming recently. This can never be bad, although I could have wished for a better photo than this.

Heh. Like, this.

Does anyone else think Lance's nose is growing back?

And now, time for a meme:

1. Reply to this post with "LAVA LAMPS ARE COOL" and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

turlough picked these icons:

Alan Cumming is my kinky crush, as per this post. As for this particular picture, I just liked it - the sexual ambiguity in it is so brilliant. Sadly, I don't know what play (or other production) it's from, or why he's dressed as a woman.

The Crown Frog, made by

amethystia, just happened to crop up when for some reason it was a brilliant icon to use for a story I was posting, or possibly commenting on, at the time, and I like it enough to have kept it. It's surprisingly useful!

made by

celticfire, who did a great job. I only acquired it fairly recently, but how could I resist? One of those icons that's appropriate for almost anything.

This was made by

rrr_nightingale, and I'm not surprised if it baffles you a bit. It's my Vorkosigan icon, for commenting on Bujold-centric posts. In one of the stories, we learn that Gregor (the Emperor) once gave away an elephant, something of a bribe to a visiting ambassador. Just goes to show, if you figure out what motivates people, you can get ever so much out of them.

Ah, Lance. There was a photoshoot not all that long ago in which Lance was made up all scruffy and collared and spike-haired and, well, all kinds of things that I don't think of as particularly appealing most of the time, but, well. Lance! I made a whole bunch of them (interspersed with similarly unlikely photos of Lance as a boxer). Woof.

This was something I made for one of the

severalplums Hallowe'en challenges. I made the texture, and liked the result. But it doesn't get a lot of use.

Lava lamps are cool!

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you!

Yay thank you! Done!

I seen 'em, but I'm banned from commenting in your journal!

What? O.o Well I haven't ever banned anyone...

ETA: Except apparently I had... I must have gotten really angry at something you said at some time, but I have no memory of it. (Don't remind me if you do remember. I've unbanned you!)

I wonder what it was! I have no idea.

copracat

What on earth was that!? It was hilarious. Who, what, where, why???????

It's bizarre, indeed! A Miracle Whip ad, apparently. But—Lance! (Also, Village People!)

It is magnificent but not something that would inspire me to buy a condiment.

That is more or less exactly how I feel about it.

I hope Lance's nose is growing back!

The sparkly Keep Calm icon is absolutely perfect for you. And the Halloween icon is fabulous.

As soon as I saw the sparkly Keep Calm I knew it must be mine!

frausorge

Ooh, I love that last one - it looks so gleeful!

LAVA LAMPS ARE COOL.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you!

Your keywords intrigue me, so my picks are likely to be on the combination of picture and keyword.

adelate

Lava lamps are cool! :D

I love icon memes! If you do mine, could you pick from LJ, though, because I only have a few here.

Right.

Who, what, why, and how do you use it?

Good lord, where did you find this? And what do you use it for?

I totally get why you would have this, but I need details!

This, however, I know nothing about.

This either.

James May? And, well, tell me more.

Done! Thank you! :D

Also, BWAHAHAHHAHAHA, I just watched that video. AMAZING. I COMPLETELY lost it at his single perfect boyband tear. So much better than tracing an imaginary one with your finger (I'm looking at you, Justin). ;)

That tear was Art, I tell you. Art!

ephemera

I swear I am eventually going to get to come back to this post when I can watch video, because it tantalises me, TANTALISES with your introduction!

also, lava lamps are cool and anyone who says otherwise i clearly wrong!

I.... I think I want to find the person who came up with that insanity and buy them a large drink, complete with umbrella and sparkler, because that is fantastic insanity! Seriously, what?!

Isn't it wonderful! I am charmed (of course) by Lance's ability to have exactly the right 'tone' in his seriousface. He's perfect for this kind of spectacular nonsense. And I love the idea that the whole thing represents - I love the idea that mainstream American products are willing to go *there* in their advertising.

Also, it makes me *happy*!

Lava Lamps are inevitably cool. And I've been away at a convention (Yay!), hence the delayed reply.

Is this a character you've written?

Intrigued by the keywords for this one!

Why safety pins?

Who? What? Why?

Oh God, don't tease me like that. It's too cruel.

Lance! Shilling for Miracle Whip alongside Susan Boyle and...The Village People!?! This pleases me and I'm not sure why. (Though I agree--that stuff is foul.)
