squirrelheels Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 I've been toying with the idea of using a squirrel for my avatar... (a red one, naturally). I've found two images, so I'm wondering which I should use: or What do you think? I quite like the cheeky-looking red squirrel, but I also like the amusement value in the road sign! NB: I've actually seen red squirrels face to face - on our patio at Oasis Whinfell Forest in the Lake District (now owned by Centre Parcs). On the drive way into the forest, they genuinely have road signs saying "Watch out for red squirrels"! SH Hi! I'm a signature virus! Copy me into your sig and help me spread!

squirrelheels Posted June 8, 2003 Author Share Posted June 8, 2003 Hmm, just discovered this one: and thought it was rather cool I do actually have a stuffed animal toy of a red squirrel, although it's a bit more fluffy than this one!

Robert Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Squirrelheels, are you one of these squirrels ? If yes, then I advise you to take the road sign as your avatar :rofl: Boots, fascinating footwear http://s70.photobucket.com/albums/i103/Boots_1956/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba136 Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Are those the only two choices ? Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Or how about this squirrel who is rather disappointed with this boring boot he has found: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zorro071214 Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Hi SH I vote for "cheeky-looking red squirrel" it´s the most natural picture of them all.More live if I should say so. Jankas I am who I am and no one else/Jankas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelheels Posted June 10, 2003 Author Share Posted June 10, 2003 I like the beer one, but it's a bit too big for my avatar. I could have spent ages searching out amusing squirrel pics, but I couldn't be bothered at 1:20am, plus that would mean too much choice! I might consider the boot one... only trouble is that I actually had trouble making out the squirrel when I first looked at it - and it'd probably be worse if I shrunk it to a reasonable avatar size!

Yamyam Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 How about this? Hope you like it, and I hope you find someone much less cack-handed with an image editor to do it properly for you!

zorro071214 Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Or how about this. Specialmade for Squirrelheels: Do you have any other idea? Jankas I am who I am and no one else/Jankas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micha Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 Hi SH, I voted for the funny traffic sign, even if the lower live squirrel looks very nice. But when I detected PJ's squirrel, drinkink Budweiser beer with a blade of straw, I changed my opininion completely. This sweet and extremely intelligent animal should be your avatar !!! Only one little criticism: It should drink a british brand of your Nottingham area or at least my deerest Hassian brand "Licher Bier" :drinking: And it should wear squirrel heels, but difficult to find in a squirrels size ... micha The best fashion is your own fashion!

Yamyam Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 Perhaps we could combine both the modified traffic signs for that ultimate heel thing! Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
