"Oh I'm picking out a thermos for you. Not an ordinary thermos for you...."

Maybe you can help me pick a new avatar. Maybe I'll take your considerations to heart. I might even agree with someone and choose the one they like over the popular vote.

I will most likely do whatever I want.

I, being the tireless taker of goofy self-potraits, feel the need to change my avatar often. None of the pictures I have had so far really capture my personality(ies) in just the right way. So this time I will show you three pictures and allow you to choose the new face of JQ. That's right, the picture which receives the most votes will become the new visage of the same, tired old rhetoric. Exciting huh?

Don't get too giddy, I will most likely change it soon.

So brush up on your voting skills—this is an election you have to think about.


Picture #1
I thought this picture would show my ability to sniff out excellent ideas and relate them in a humorous, yet enlightening way to my readers.





Picture #2
I choose this picture because it's my good side. Plus, people tell me what a huge ass I am all the time.





Picture #3
This is my swimming cap. What?


Addendum:
There are only a few voting days left. Tell your friends and neighbors. Call your Great Aunt Macy, write your local inmate, spread the word to have everyone cast their ballot. The new picture will appear Friday afternoon at precisely 12 p.m.—or whenever I get around to posting the results. Until then, enjoy yourselves, but don't forget the tissues.

Love the Steve Martin reference!!! "I was born a poor black child..."

I really like Picture #3. But I really want to know is how #2 can be a self portrait? Its hard to take a picture of your own ass unless there is a mirror involved. Not that I would know, never felt to urge to take a picture of mine :)

JQ said...

MEl- Long arms.

Bob said...

#0 (the current one)

If I were to do one like #1 I would have to trim my nose hair first. It's hell getting old...

Oh, I get told I'm an ass all the time too. I take it as a compliment.

"And maybe a barometer too..."

#3.

The Jerk is one of my all time favorites, back when Steve Martin was still funny.

Unknown said...

#3

JQ said...

Nobody- I don't believe #0 was an option. Maybe those nose hairs obscured your vision. That's okay, I'll pick for you...the picture that is.

TF- "...and a cup built right in."
Yeah, ever since the accident involving the arrow he hasn't been right.

Cindy- #3. Are you sure? You seemed a little indecisive.

Holly {ArtistMotherTeacher} said...

I'm going to go with #3. It shows your softer side and your penchant for 50s kitsch.

JQ said...

Pixie- Softer side? I look like a puffer fish.

Holly {ArtistMotherTeacher} said...

Perhaps, but with that hat you're an awfully pretty puffer fish.

Fig said...

I'm in love with number 2 butt you need to retake the photo wearing golf pants or some red slacks or something more colorful... your ass is blending into the background too much... needs more contrast.

JQ I REALLY WANT MY SWIMMING CAP BACK I CAN'T GO SKINNING DIPPING WITH OUT IT OH I LIKE THE PIC YOU ALREADY HAVE POPS

JQ said...

FIG- Whoa, slow down. It was hard enough for me to get that shot, now you want me to duplicate it wearing golf pants with less what....contrast? Do they make golf pants with less contrast?

POPPA- I DON'T THINK YOU WANT IT BACK NOW COME TO THINK OF IT I CAN'T BELIEVE I PUT IT ON MY HAD AFTER FINDING OUT IT WAS YOUR'S JQ

Anonymous said...

OK... I don't care what anyone says... You KNOW it's gotta be picture #1!!!

JQ said...

Dutchy- My nose turns me on too.

I VOTE FOR #3

You look like you're going to hurl!

Love,
Big Sis

JQ said...

Amkhan- Actually, I just walked into the room after Pixie cut a muffin.

Silicone Alley said...

#3 should be the winner... even though I really enjoyed #2.

Lynda said...

I am in the minority, but #1 is my favorite. Especially since boogers aren't hanging out your nose.

Anonymous said...

No no no... MORE contrast... something that sets your ass apart from the wall behind you. It's all so khaki.

Also... I just noticed the George Costanza wallet you're sporting there... gonna have back problems if you aren't careful.

JQ said...

Silicone Alley- Thanks, I enjoy a good #2 as well. In fact, not that long ago....

Lynda- Hey anybody with a Simpsonesque avatar gets two votes in my book.

Fig- Oh, now it makes perfect sense. It is a little lacking in contrast, eh?
Funny you should mention the bulge in my pants....hey, just how closely are you studying my derriere?

The Ferryman said...

I gotta go with 3!

JQ said...

Fab- Thanks for helping me achieve the most comments on my blog ever!

That seems to be the popular vote....

Cupcake Blonde said...

#3 will probably win but I like the whimsical side of #2.

JQ said...

Vegas Princess— Thanks for your vote....hey, what's so funny about my butt?

Naynayfazz said...

Can you get people to leave me freakin' 24 comments on my blog? ;)

Anyway, I like the swimming cap photo. That's my two cents.

JQ said...

Naynayfazz— Unbelievable right? So many people are paying attention to me....it's almost like I was prom queen....again.
Thanks for voting!

Naynayfazz said...

You are quite funny. Thanks for commenting on my blog as well.

Anonymous said...

I like #3- it goes with your theme... unless you're planning on changing that, too...

JQ said...

Naynayfazz— Hey you made the pool, and I see I made your peeps list....at the very top no less. Again I have to go to The Jerk and say "I'm somebody, I'm really somebody."

Shades— Funny you mention that, I just realized that earlier tonight. Yeah, I'm kinda slow.

Pixie— Thanks for directing traffic! I owe you a big, wet, sloppy kiss!

Tim said...

If you use either of the first two I might stop coming here.

egan said...

Exactly what Tim said about options 1 & 2. I'm saddened we don't have more options. Being a swimmer I think the cap looks great and suits you well.

Silicone Alley said...

lynda- I would have voted for #1 if he had boogers hanging out his nose.

jq- Can we get another pick with boogers?

JQ said...

Tim— When did you start?

Egan— Hey, it's alright to admit you like my butt. I won't hold it against you.

Silicone Alley— You show me yours....

Amy said...

The Jerk! Now I am going to have that song stuck in my head all day. Thanks.

I'm with Fab - #3 definitely.

Holly {ArtistMotherTeacher} said...

Tim—This is coming from the guy whose avatar features Starburst porn? Pot, have you met the kettle?

Lynda said...

Finger in the nose, maybe. Not boogers.

Lisa Armsweat said...

Tough call. I like number 1, because it looks like you have two very different eyes. Given my proclivity for Sandy Duncan and Sammy Davis Jr, it's easy to tell why I choose this one. Fake eyes are my favorite! (PS: I need to check if Sandy Duncan is still alive or not. When's the last time anyone thought of HER?)

JQ said...

Egan— Boogie, boogie, boogie!

Lynda— What about an action shot of me picking the boogers from my nose?

Cruel Shoes— That's an optical illusion caused by my giant proboscis. My eyes are both blue.
