The IWUS Award Badge

Hi all--
You may have already received a message about this topic, but there was a problem with the original announcement. My apologies for that. I thought there would be a preview interlude...

Here's the deal. Many sharp-eyed group members have been spotting all kinds of horrors that are HIGHLY suitable for this pool, and encountering many ridiculous HTML badges in the process. So I thought I would whip up our own little IWUS badge to bestow honor upon photographers of dead-eyed dollies and flesh-eating mannequins. This badge serves the dual purpose of letting these people know how much we appreciate their horror, and of inviting them to check out or join the group. Here's an image of the code that generates the badge:

I will place it in copy/paste-able form in a suitable, um, repository soon.

It will yield a comment appendage that looks like this:

Catalan Colostomy Ape

I wake up screaming

I'll check back in on this thread when I've put the code up in more user-friendly form.

How many people do you think we will inadvertently offend? Not that I care, but they're just so damned earnest about their dead-eyed dollies and flesh-eating mannequins.

Also, this is the BEST birthday present ever, dude.

I have to say, the perverse side of me (which is to say, most) really wants to accidentally mis-assign this badge of honor to some of those earnest, dolly-adoring people. But I don't want to be cruel...

The best part is acting like you are so very sorry to have caused offense and you'd give anything not to have done so.

I think a safe rule of thumb is that if it gives you the creeps but was not explicitly intended to do so by its creator, it's probably an IWUS. And beyond that, I'd say anything with "rainbow-afro" in its description is IWUS gold.

Thanks for setting me straight, isoglossia ... I'll try to find the "rainbow- afro" thingy.
