Two Memes for the Price of One! (Okay, they're free. But still.)
Icon meme seen on muliebrity:
Comment and I'll pick seven of your icons, and then you will explain why you love/are using the icon (who doesn't love talking about their icons, seriously) and then post your explanation/this meme in your journal for other people to squee about their icons, and basically it will be a huge squeefest of love and 100x100 square pixels.
moush: chase (by daaaytripper)
There seems to be a lot of overlap between fans of "House" and "M*A*S*H", and the brilliant daaaytripper created a series of crossover "Moush" icons that celebrates this phenomenon. Not that Chase was ever quite as ferrety and mealy-mouthed as Major Burns, but it's still a fair comparison. ^_^
House: h/w god (by daaaytripper)
Another icon by daaaytripper, this one of a particularly slashtastic moment in a "House" episode where Wilson speaks to House in the MRI room through the microphone in the adjacent office. They have a little laugh at Cameron's expense, and what can I say? That's always good times.
DS9: miles & molly (by babel)
As you can tell from my LJ header, another of my fandoms is Star Trek, most notably Deep Space Nine. I love the character of Miles O'Brien because he's sort of an example of the everyday man of the future, the enlisted guys in Starfleet who do all the heavy lifting while the officers claim all the glory. And he was always a devoted family man, as this shot of him with his daughter Molly shows.
House: wtf? (by lucius_admirer)
Another "House" icon, which I love just for the sheer hilarity of the expressions on Chase & Cameron's faces.
Seinfeld: pez (by bittenicons)
I like "Seinfeld" now much more than I did when it was on, which is actually not uncommon for me--I always seem to discover my fandoms once they've been off the air for a while. (Need proof? My two newest fandoms are "M*A*S*H" and "Frasier.") Anyway, I really think the childlike joy in Jerry's face here is cute, even if he did use this particular Pez dispenser to ruin yet another relationship.
columbo - one more thing
I love Columbo! (See above, re: old fandoms.) This is actually the first LJ icon I ever made. Ah, memories.
RD: fic sucks (by bibliophile1887)
A "Red Dwarf" icon that I generally use in typically self-deprecating fashion when I post new fanfiction. The pained expression on Kryten's face (at left) is great.
So, that's about it. Anyone else?
And here's a sci-fi meme seen on invader_tak_1:

You scored as Serenity (Firefly)
You like to live your own way and don't enjoy when anyone but a friend tries to tell you should do different. Now if only the Reavers would quit trying to skin you.

I've never actually seen "Babylon 5" (Jerry Doyle for Congress jokes notwithstanding) so it was interesting that I scored so high on it. Although I'm not 100% sure on "The X-Files" counting as science fiction. Hmm.
