I con, you con, we all con, for I con
1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!
I'm adding keywords because Katie did it and I like that haha.
green_queen picked the following icons:
[hp] i ship harry/your mom, by for_a_fantasy
This is my go-to icon when people talk about shipping in general. As much as I like certain couples I am by no means a crazy shippy person. I'm not going to wage wars over whether or not Kate and Sawyer are meant to be. This icon is particularly funny because HP has the most insane shippers EVER.
So when people want to know who I ship, I ship Harry/your Mom.
[lost] eko hello, by indilime @ teh_indy
There was a time when it seemed like EVERYONE had this icon. It is cute and simple and I will probably never delete it. There's nothing like seeing an entire thread of people using this icon haha.
I MISS YOU, MISTAH EKO &hearts
[lost] Jack's a very likable guy!, by iamalreadyinuse @ alreadyiconned
This is a direct quote from Jack in "Stranger in a Stranger Land" and it SLAYS ME. Many have pointed out the text is shaped like a hand giving the finger, and I've never known if that was intentional. Either way, it's perfection.
[tw] It's a mad mad mad mad world, by prettybutt @ atomicapples
This is Captain Jack Harkness on Torchwood, and I not only is it beautiful, but it is an accurate description of how I feel on a daily basis. Surrounded by crazy people. And I mean that in the best way possible.
[lost] Sun hits the sky, by janie_tangerine @ rockin_graphix
THANK GOD IT'S FARADAY!!!!!!!! My favorite new Lost character since Benry Gale. I hope he never stops bumbling.

[rt] margot reading, by me @ iconseeyou
Royal Tenenbaums is my FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME. I made this icon ages ago, and despite what you all may think of my insane LJ persona, Margot with her book reflects how I am in real life better than pretty much anything else :D
How long have you been a smoker?
22 years.
Well I think you should quit.
[dw] MOUTH, by likethesun @ likestarlight
This is David Tennant, on what I believe was Blackpool...? Anyway, as Doctor Who himself said, he's a litle bit foxy. And his was one of the first icons I saw with that pretty lighting effects that are all the rage these days, and I just thought it was hot.
[bsg] Said the joker to the thief, by schmiss @ acrobatica
This is Saul "Patchy" Tigh from Battlestar Galactica. And to not spoil anyone (I know a lot of you are just getting into this show) "All Along the Watchtower" plays a pivotal role in the Season 3 finale...aaaand that's all I can really say lol.
[bsg] TEAM TAHCCO ftfw, made by me @ iconseeyou
As I mentioned the other day, TAHmoh Penikett + Michael TruCCO = TAHCCO, aka the most noble studs on BSG. They will let you touch their massive arms whilst whisking you away from certain doom.
[lost] He's super - thanks for asking, by oceanicair815
I just uploaded this icon last night and it just SLAYS ME. Granted, Jack is ~*emotional*~ enough to not have to use a hand puppet to express his feelings, but I'd like to think of him as a balding tranny with a penchant for buttsecks and BDSM. &hearts
sideshowkat picked:
LOL.
This is my adopted daughter, Margot.
[slc punk] Buoyant, by indilime @ teh_indy
SLC Punk is one of those AMAZING movies that not enough people have seen. This is Stevo, and he is an angry punk, and he is cool as hell. The keywords refer to a part in the movie in which this German guy named Mark drives a stolen car over a cliff into the Great Salt Lake in Utah (to get rid of evidence), and then you see it floating on the surface:
Mark: WHY IS IT NOT SINKING!? SINK! SINK YOU FOOL!
Bob: It won't sink, dude. It's the Great Salt Lake. It's like...buoyant.
See SLC Punk. You won't be sorry.
[bsg] LEARS, by intodelirium @ fracturedshapes
Lee is the Jack of Battlestar Galactica, so it would make sense that he is prone to whiney outbursts on a weekly basis. The only difference is that he doesn't really cry, he punches stuff instead :D
LOL.
Come on, Mr. Slave.

[coupling] The Melty Man Cometh!, by snuddles
This is Jeff, the best part about from Coupling. He is like Kramer, but obsessed with girls, and is very jumpy and stupid and adorable and you want to just shrink him down and stick him in your pocket, despite all the boobz comments.

[hp] i'm a big deal, by toxxic_graphics
This is pretty much the funniest fucking icon ever Y/N? Line from Anchorman, perfectly timed with some random Asian girl thrown into the middle HAHAHAHA. I got this icon ages ago because I thought it was hysterical, and of late I like to use it when I have random bursts of internet fame XD
[lotr] billy+dom=love, by me @ iconseeyou
Dom Monaghan and Billy Boyd are, in fact, the definitive OTP. If you doubt this, go and listen to the Cast Commentary on all of the LOTR movies.
I could never stay mad at that face.
...or just watch this XD
[lost] Jack BLEGHHHH, by zo_cat @ grarpirates
This may be the Jackface to End ALL Jackfaces. And the little smiley face thing just makes it even more entertaining.
[bsg] There are many copies, by prettypinkdork
This is Boomer, aka Sharon from BSG. She's a robutt. There are lots of copies of her. I just thought this icon was so gorgeous. BSG icons are some of the best on LJ. They're all so creative.
[dw] My word!, by toastandtea
The Doctor makes AMAZING FACES. It's not overacting. He's just EXPRESSIVE!!!!!! :O
corellianjedi picked:
[ff] dancey dancey, by lidi
This is Captain Tightpants from Firefly. Actually it's Nathan Fillion dong some kind of Boot Scoot n' Boogie in an outtake from Firefly. He's got moves.
[bsg] Papadama, by furious_angel
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Admiral Adama INVENTED SRS BZNSS, BITCHES. I always want to use this icon, and I can't because I don't want people to think I actually hate them hahaha. But it's too frakking funny.
[lost] I don't believe in buttons brotha, by blindbeats @ acrobatica
This was one of the first times we ever saw Desmond in that Blue Shirt of Sexiness. He looks so fierce in this. And beyond that, the coloring in this icon is RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME. It's because Alba made it, and her icons are the best ever. If I could get my icons to have that kind of coloring I would finally be satisfied.
[dw] My heart feels dead inside, by zibina77
This is The Master from Doctor Who, the Doctor's great arch nemesis. It's also John Simm who is adorable. "I ain't bovvered" is catchphrase from UK show The Catherine Tate Show, but when I first found this I didn't know that and I just thought it was hilarious haha.
[js] Well la dee da, by boxed @ _creations_
This is Jessica Stevenson, who used to be Jessica Hynes, who was Daisy on Spaced, among other things. She is just one of those girls that I would die to be BFFs with - cool, smart, funny, weird. And the coloring in this icon is gorgeous, and for some reason she just reminds me of like an old school Beatles fangirl in this photo for some reason haha. I have no idea why.
Mmkay so if you want me to pick 5 of your icons, make sure you actually say this in your comment. I get confused haha.
And so as anyone who cares about BSG knows, the ENTIRE CAST will be on Letterman tomorrow night to read "The Top Ten Reasons Why You Should Watch Battlestar Galactica" and I have a few words about some of these photos of them arriving at the Letterman studio yesterday:
I had no idea they'd be reading this list in character!!! HAHAHAHA it's kind of weird, right?? Anyway.
I got most of these from dryope - she's got a ton of pictures of everyone who was there!
Michael Hogan's patch hanging like a purse = Win.
Katee Sackhoff is SO CUTE.
Lucy Lawless...LOL. She looks like this ---> X)
Mary McDonnell looks great, but the best part of this picture is that dude behind her to the right. HAHAHAHHAHA ;lksdfjkl;sdjfkl;sd he is definitely sniffing her hair and trying to remember its musky aroma to blog about later.
Michael Hogan is a total badass. And Jamie Bamber is SUPER HOT.
hi-res
1. For being in space, the cast of BSG is always really tan
2. Bambi's smile is A+
3. GUY IN THE BACKGROUND. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA oh my GOD he's all "frakfrakfrakFRAKFRAKFRAKOMGGGG"
Hottie McTottie, although what the hell is up with these SLEEVES?? I kow Starbuck's usually got a tank top on, but come on lol.
1. Since when does James Callis look like JAFAR?
2. Nicky Clyne makes me wish I didn't hate Cally so much.
I love group shots. I would bet anything the night before this James Callis and Aaron Douglas went out and got hammered, hence the pained expressions on their faces. And Aaron's bottle of water haha.
hi-res
*swoon*
hi-res
Michael Hogan: HEY BRA, GOT A LIGHT? *dials Galactica actual*
Bambi: Thank god I look tall next to James...
James: Why did I order that 9th bourbon last night? IDIOT.
Aaron: Must...hydrate...
hi-res
\m/
You know who's hot? Grace Park. Even in uniform.
Eddie Olmos: I dissapprove of your smoking, Michael.
Michael Hogan: You're only my boss on the show, ass.
1. GUH. BAMBI. YOU ARE TOO MUCH FOR ME. His eyes are so twinkly, he is like a sexy hobbit or something.
2. GUY IN THE BACK IS OFFICIALLY HAVING AN ANEURYSM. He's like, "APOLLO!! APOLLO!! SO SAY WE ALL, APOLLO! SOSAYWEALLL"
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
