Cartoon of The Day: "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out"

 

 Taken at the Warblood City Autumn Carnival. This game made me think of a reoccurring line in the movie, "A Christmas Story."

Cartoon of The Day: A Flattering Eye Chart

 

 

 Taken while shopping at a mall. "You look mahvelous," was a catch phrase from 1980s "Saturday Night Live." But since it was looking like an eye chart, I was thinking about how a few male eye doctors might like to flirt with some female clients.

Cyclops Contest Continues

The contest we started last week, inspired by Becky Shamen, for a cyclops avatar an the attractive side, is still going on. Here, Becky shows off her latest, and presumably final, version of her own.

The turn-in date has been moved up to December 6, with judging on the crew meeting on December 7. The prize is 3000 Lindens for the best one-eyed look. Mail pictures of an avatar of your design to bixylshuftan@gmail.com. One entry per person.

Cartoon and Contest of the Day

Earlier, Becky Shamen had the idea of trying to come up with a cyclops av that was pretty. With her own skills, she came up with this look. Good, but she wondered maybe someone could do better.

In the nearly 4 years, i've been in SL, there are very few things that haven't been made, somewhere in world. I think I am the first to make an attractive cyclops and I challenge other designers to come up with a better one.

Second Life Newser will pay 2000L to anyone whom can improve on Becky's idea of an attractive cyclops avatar. Mail pictures of an avatar of your design to bixylshuftan@gmail.com. One entry per person. Entries must be made by December 2. At our next staff meeting that day, we'll go through the pictures and see if someone did better. If we get a number of people who did better, we'll ask the finalists in-avatar a week later to show off their creations, with the best one getting the prize and the others getting consolation prizes.

So do you have an "eye" for this kind of work? Let's see your best "cy."

*Addition* A reader has offered to add 1000 Lindens to the prize, making it a total of 3000 Lindens.

Sha's Thoughts: Cyclopean Pursuit

Becky "Sha" Shaman recently had an idea. When one thinks of a cyclops, one usually thinks of a monstrous being, like the maneater who went after Ulysses's crew. But suppose one could take the concept, and turn such a character type around. Not just a friendly cyclops, like the girl in "Futurama," but a girl drop-dead beautiful or a man stuningly handsome.
