Casual Friday for 4/16

[Tina]

In honor of Scrapping Idol, this Friday we will be using American Idols for our avatars!

Nab a pic off the net of your FAVORITE American Idol (from the TV show) ever, does not have to be a winner!

If you are from out of country, and you have your own version of Idol (I know UK has Pop Idol, which started it all, thanks! ;) and NZ has Kiwi Idol, etc...............) and you prefer to use one of them, by all means, use them... just be sure to post in your siggy who they are (this goes for everyone, I didn't watch the 1st season, I don't know all of them)!

:D

Note to Newbies------------------------------------

Here at DSP we are introducing what we like to call "Casual Friday".

Every Friday we will change our avatars with a fun theme. Avatars are the little pictures beside your posts. If you don't know how to upload one, please refer to our FAQs. You can upload your avatar by going into your User CP

Earlier in the week we will announce the "fun theme". You might be surprised what we come up with!

We hope you enjoy Casual Friday, we think it will be a lot of fun!

Casual Friday is NOT required of course, just a little silliness and fun!

John Stevens. I know, I know - he's too young and he's not very versatile but I haven't watched it since the 2nd show anyway (all of my evening hours are spent in DSP mode). I just love his freckles and red hair and his crooning. He's just too cute! :p

---> I hope me avatar isn't too small for you to see him sittin' there with Sammy n Old Blue Eyes...

[Tina]

Cris, I like John too...... but I'm not sure he's right for this competition, I hope he gets a contract tho! I'd buy it! ;)

[Tina]

CLAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, I'm a Clayinac! Love his CD :) Love him, too sweet!! Loved him from his 1st geeky audition! ;)

Btw, Cris, love your avatar! cute cute!

[SuzanneCWalker]

OMG - you guys are a HOOT!!! I have no CLUE what you're talking about - it's like this whole other language!!!!!!

Okay, to be in the spirit, though, I did watch Nashville Star one night for a bit, and I saw this one guy in OVERALLS, so you KNOW he's my hero! Don't even know his name, but I am off to see if I can find a website...........

[SuzanneCWalker]

Can I also say very, VERY emphatically that I am not a big country fan? But this guy played a WASHBOARD and wore OVERALLS!!!!!! What more could a girl need?! He was a hoot!

[valeri]

Ok.. now if we are allowed to do Nashville Star I can get into that.. but I am at work right now.

Suzanne, that is Matt Lindahl, he is quite the character, and I am a BIG country fan.

[twilag]

Finally figured out how to do this (I think). I watch the Mexican version La Academia.

[sweetmommyc]

Okay, I know, slap me now, but I don't watch American Idol.....so, won't change the avatar..:) but love the idea anyway.

You guys seem to be having loads of fun with the Idol avatars...can't wait for next Friday....:P

[Schmoopy]

Laura, that's just not right, lol, I watch and I'm CANADIAN! hee hee! Please tell me that you do watch survivor??????

Hey, powers that be -- you know who you are -- how about a favorite "survivor" avatar casual friday??????? mmmmm colby's dreamy, boston rob's not bad either ... what about ethan ..... oh, heck how woudl I pick? lol.

Stace.

[sweetmommyc]

I know, I know :D

Ummm, no I don't watch survivor either..hehe. I watched the original, but then got bored with the rest.

I know, I am not 'american' am I...LOL I just don't get into the reality shows; I am a die hard CSI, Law and Order (all of them), anything with suspense, blood and gore..kind of gal. See...a real sicko rofl

;)

[Kristen]

Oh. You said "Idol" not "Idle."

And he isn't American either, is he?

Oh well. I know more about him than I do "American Idol" (something about not having cable...)

This will spur me to get a *real* avatar made, since I'll need to replace Eric soon<g>

Kristen Skold

[Schmoopy]

Love Eric Idle, I say close enough!
stace.

[valeri]

Ok.. here is my american idol. but he isn't american or an "idol". He is a canadian cowboy from nashville star.. but I like the way he sings!

[momy4him]

I'm with you again Laura! I don't have cable either and I don't watch American Idol! But, I have heard Kelly Clarkson's album and I like it, so I chose her.

[sweetmommyc]

Ok, so who is this Eric Idle? huh, since some of you know who he is, I must be out of the loop here..hehe.

Going to go search the web for this Idle dude! :)

That was an 'interesting' choice though Kristen.. :p

[sweetmommyc]

ooooo, DUH moment. Why didn't you say "Monty Pythons, Eric Idle" ROFLMBO

I would have put the avatar with the comedy!!!!!!

Have you ever watched the PBS shows, I forget what they are called, but about some people, who work in a department store, British shows, if I am correct. They are hilarious!!!

Love that British humour!!!! :p

[Tina]

LOL Y'all are TOO funny! Hey, I'm good with the Nashville star thing, oh heck, stick any reality tv person up there ya want ;)

[Tina]

Hmmmm Survivor...

Good Idea, Stace! Maybe the week of the finale!

If y'all have more ideas email em to me!

Okay, Troy told me some Louis guy singer was from his hometown of Rexburg, Idaho, so we watched one night to see if he knew him. Nope, but Jon Peter Lewis sure does go to school in Rexburg, at the University Troy's parents teach at. And when I went to download his photo, I watched a video (thought I ought to find out if he could sing!) and he said he also lived in my hometown near Seattle! So he's my favorite. Don't care who wins, don't know if any of them can sing, but I just gotta vote for the Mormon boy!
<-----even if he's kinda goofy looking!

[Meryl]

Am I now stuck with Mr Winkler as my avatar forever???? Its now Saturday, so I've tried to get rid of him in my sig by uploading a new pic - it shows in the little previw pane but whenever I post i still see the Idol - can someone help - please? Take care, Meryl

[Meryl]

Well how weird - it is fine here in the form but not in the gallery............. Meryl

[Kristen]

Have you ever watched the PBS shows, I forget what they are called, but about some people, who work in a department store, British shows, if I am correct. They are hilarious!!!

"Are You Being Served?"

Great fun! Used to watch all the British comedies we could find when I lived with a friend who was a huge fan - Black Adder, Red Dwarf, Are You Being Served?
