Faceless gray aliens attack!

EEEEEK!!!

They're everywhere!

Sneaking... lurking... everywhere I turn, it seems like they are there.

You've seen them before, those mysterious gray creatures, no eyes, no mouth, no nose. For a while it seemed like their numbers were dwindling. But lately, it looks like they are back in force.

Fight back, good citizens! Do your part and encourage your gray alien faced friends to join the resistance and choose an avatar!

Seriously, people. This is an icon site. There is absolutely, positively, no excuse to not have an avatar. Just pick a 32x32 icon from a Free Delivery set and go with that if you're not Photoshop inclined. Make a custom one. Find one on a website somewhere. Just do something! We must end the gray alien invasion!

And if you need more incentive, how about the fact that you get a badge just for having an avatar? What are you waiting for??

What about aliens who seem to have harnessed this icon technology the Chef's have created?

This begs the obvious question: are there spies among us? Watch your back - you might get probed! ;)

Side note: not sure if Smalltide's profile counts - he's not grey, but he sure is "Groomy Green"

I agree, the aliens must be stopped!

Personally I really love seeing the IconBuffet mashups you guys come up with avatars (though plenty of other avatars are cool too).

It's all good they come in PEACE

My alien's evolved a bit of colour (and a few too many tentacles) :)

iconmaster said I really love seeing the IconBuffet mashups

I totally agree - I think they're hilarious and I don't want 'em to stop, just have that fear of probes... :)

@tanic5: Peacful probing? Did they get to you?!

@dave: love it :)

They are the most dangerous... wolves in sheeps clothing, using our icons against us to infiltrate out towns and cities.

@smalltide: LOL -- I totally missed the extremely clever Simpsons reference that your avatar represents... Bravo - brilliant, sir!

Homer: Please, turn me back into the blissful boob I was.
Scientist: Sorry, we don't play god here.
Homer: Huh? You do nothing but play god! And I think your octo-parrot would agree with me.
Octo-Parrot: Rawk! Polly shouldn't be!

Think i've found the solution

dishg on May 04, 2007

gavinonlife: so, I will 'target' you for icons =)

Maybe … they aren't aliens at all!

Maybe … they are here!

Maybe … they are everywhere you turn!

Maybe … they have on their Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie!

Maybe … you should read the book!

Be careful out there, very careful!

I, for one, am pleased with my faceless gray alien. So there. :-P

I think unique 'aliens' are great. Of course davethegr8's anti-gravity powers might be emphasized by a hanging tie or hairdo but I can only surmise that the altered gravitational field extends enough to cover such things.

The default gray guys I'm no fan of, but I don't see many of them sticking around for long. I think there were even some posts where people were offering to help create custom avatars. (If that's you, please remind me where).

...waiting to see debbye's tp roll sporting a deflector beanie...

debbye on May 22, 2007

i don't know if TPaper needs to protect itself from invisible forces, in the same manner that a human or other mobile living organism would. maybe the Faceless gray aliens need to adorn the beanie to be safe from us!

Mr Zapato is also an environmentalist. he has done extensive research on The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus & has taken on the cause of saving & protecting this illusive creature.

He also has some awesome icons! pack a lunch & hang out over there.
