This Means War!
Posted on September 7, 2008 - Filed Under Contest, Meez
Avatar war! Usually the blogosphere is a peaceful place. Usually. But there comes a time when battle lines must be drawn. This is one of those times.
Apparently some people (Dan at dcrblogs for example) really, REALLY have it in for my poor little Meez. I mean, seriously - what has she ever done to anyone other than act like a little hussy once in a while? She’s really pretty harmless. Anyway, as I said, he really has it in for her - just take a look at what he has done to her! Pass the tissues while I shield my eyes as you watch. I just can’t take viewing it again. 
So now I am asking for all of you to pool your outrage with mine. But let’s use it creatively. I need your help in finding a way to retaliate against his avatar. I offer this (illegally obtained, of course) “blank” copy of his avatar to be abused as you see fit. Okay, well, maybe let’s keep this PG-13 if we can. I will offer a reward for the best retaliation. I’m too upset over my poor Meez to think of how I’ll choose a winner yet or what the prize will even be, but rest assured that the creative outlet of retaliation will be reward in itself. I will work out the details as we go along and keep you all posted but I want to give everyone a fair amount of time to get creative.
I know many of you are better at images and tech-y stuff than I am, so please have a go at it. I’m thinking the best way to handle this is to do a post about it at your site and link to both Dan’s site and my site as your entry. I will end this contest on September 21 U.S. and do a roundup of entries at that time. Until then, it’s WAR on Dan’s avatar! Join in on the fun, I mean, mutilation! Muhahahaha!
On a side note - if you found my post, Appearances can be Deceiving, then check out my buddy Pearl’s post on the same subject here. Pearl’s one smart cookie and she makes a lot of sense. Her blog is always a good read.

I see what you’re doing here. You’re trying to derail my Presidential campaign. Well, don’t poke the sleeping bear!
Just remember, YOU started this war, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be ending it! I see smears and tears in your future! Muhahaha! LOL
Your meez better stop eating that rice and get ready for combat.
It’s fortunate that I was able to rebuild her with spare Meez parts after your vicious attack. She needed to have the rice for energy so she can fight back!
Oh, I see she’s ready now. But, now we see who’s side you are on, Darth Teeni!
We all have a darth side! And your Meez abuse has brought mine to the surface.
heh heh. This could be very entertaining.
Oh wow - this would be right up your alley, Mac! Go to town!
Oh, I’m so in this now! I don’t know how to do a video, but I do have photoshop and I’m not afraid to use it!
LOL. Photoshop counts! I wish I knew how to do it myself. But if you do it for me, I thank you and my Meez thanks you!
I’m pretty clueless so don’t think I could come up with much! But I know your other readers are very clever … I will watch this with interest!!
P.S. Your Meez is adorable!
Aww, thanks Hannah. I have another contest idea coming up soon so if you don’t think you like this one then stay tuned for future posts.
LOL! I’m sorry Teeni, but that was kinda funny! I think I will be like the swiss and declare myself neutral….though I gotta ya back if you really need it, ‘kay?
LOL. Funny? Oh no. Don’t encourage him!
Okay, be Switzerland. As long as you’re not a Meez hater. 
I’ve always liked that dancing avatar of yours but this one in an attacking mood is even better
hope it keeps those spammers out of your blog atleast..
and thank you so much for the linking to the post teeni..
Oh, that would be neat if she could attack spammers! Nice thinking, Pearl! And you are very welcome.
Not to great with anything Tech but I’ve got a pretty big mouth and will use it. I would do anything to protect Meezs honour. Shes one groovy chic. aww!!
War…Count me in in what ever way I can be counted. This will be great to follow. It so has be laughing. Hehe!!
Love Meez
Di
Thanks for your support Di - and my Meez thanks you too!
This could be funny. I wish I had time to come up with something. I didn’t quite understand what he did with your meez…I didn’t see anything. But it is 3:30 in the morning and I can’t sleep due to pain issues… but in reality maybe I am actually sleeping and don’t know it and thought I came and visited your blog. I am not sure!
If you watch the video at his site - I linked to the post at his site, then his site links to the video on youtube that he made of my Meez’s destruction - then you too will feel the wrath of Teeni.
TOO FUNNY! poor little annihilated meez..
I’ve tried to get my meez off the playground to come help you but I guess she’s having too much fun. You’d think she’d be tired my now!
Yeah, your Meez is gonna have abs like Arnold Schwarzenneger if she keeps that up!
i don’t really get the whole avatar war thing, but you have my support in achieving your avatar goal!
LOL. Thanks for your support, Jen.
He just made a little video at his site that destroys my Meez. You can view it here if you like!
I love you, you’re special, goodbye.
It’s bittersweet to receive this comment. I’m glad you cared enough to leave it. But I hate to think it is goodbye. Sent you an email.
Interesting blog you’ve got here!!
well done.
Keep up the hard work.
Thank you, DS! Welcome to the Vaguetarian Tea Room. I just visited your site and really am impressed with your writing. Nice to meet you!
I’m on it, Teens. Nobody messes with my Teeni.
Grrrrr….
Annie
LOL. Thanks, Annie! I wonder what you have in mind?
I love this. I don’t have any good programs on the wasband’s computer but I will have to think of something. I really can’t let this go. I have a Meez to protect too. I will join your legion fearless leader!!! (When I stop laughing). I don’t know dcr but I did leave him a message telling him I will have to side with you.
Thanks, Joan! Dan at dcrblogs is really a good egg with a good sense of fun. I think a little friendly fire with him should be a good time.
oh, i cant view it while at work. That means its either sexual content, or public web hosting stuff…
im keeping my fingers crossed for sexual content!
My Meez? Sexual? Heck, I don’t know if she’s even got a virtual hoo-ha.
I’ll let you know if I do.
I hope you will join in, MJ! I’d love to have you on my Meez’s team.
Ummm, i cant think of anything LOL!
Okay, I have something, but don’t want to be the first to post because I don’t want other people to see mine first and then make something better. I’m competitive that way.
Maybe you should have us email you these and then you could post them all on your blog after the deadline and let people vote?
Okay, that makes sense. I can always link to you guys when I post your entries. And I totally understand the competitive thing! LOL. You go, BP!
hehe, this is so funny, and your armed meez is hilarious! sorry teeni, you have my support i assure you, but like everybody else, until i stop laughing.
Do you mean when you stop laughing you are going to go transfer your support to Dan’s side?
So much for my go-to blow up dick hat.
LOL - I know it’s hard to stay PG-13 but think of it as a challenge and it really is a friendly war (so far)!!!!
I like your meez Teeni, and I would never blow her up. That’s just mean. I like how she’s always up on her current events and sporting the latest styles.
I’m not sure if I’m up to the retaliation task, but I’ll see what I can come up with. 
Thanks, Peter! I’d be interested in anything you came up with!
P.S. - My Meez thinks you are cute - don’t tell Bunny, I don’t want her starting a war on my Meez too. LOL!
May the force be with your Meez!
Poor Meez but she’s got spunk, she’ll be okay!
Thanks, Kami. I sure hope so.
Okay, done
Oh - wow! LOL. I LOVE it! I’ll link to it in a future roundup post! Thanks for playing on my team, MJ!
[…] 9, 2008 by birdpress For background on this one, please see this post over at the Vaguetarian Tea Room. In essence, Dan at dcrblogs attacked Teeni’s meez, and […]
Okay, since I’m not the first now, I decided to go ahead and post mine.
And I’m so glad you did - I was roaring!
[…] Subsequent to that, Teeni has declared war. […]
See something like that happened to me and now we (that is Dan & I) have been feuding ever since… everyone blames me, but as you now all see, he starts a lot of stuff with other bloggers, blowing up Meezs, taking over vintage blogs… I am sure he does a lot of covert crap too.
Yeah, I see that now. I was just minding my own business, blogging around in my happy little blogosphere when, in a totally unprovoked attack, he kidnapped my Meez and shot missiles at her. I bet he does the covert crap too. His avatar looks a little shifty to me.
uh…It’s Maki here. I just wanted to say “hello” and I totally took everything serious! LOL. Great humor and I’m glad that I was just mistaken the whole concept. Cool blog!
Thanks for stopping in, Maki! I’m sorry we upset you at first. Really, Dan and I are just goofballs. Welcome to my silly place!
Nice to meet you!
Sorry Teeni, I’d defend your honour - or right not to be honourable once in a while - but it’s all geek to me!
L x
LOL - it is to me too, Laura! But I am also going to see if I can come up with something on my own.
Oh, yay! Another contest. What fun. I’ll take a stab at it (ha! no pun intended). Can’t wait to see all the entries.
Awesome! I can certainly use your abilities on my team, 2LD! Glad to have you.
I clicked on his link but cannot see what he has done to your meez. I did see BP’s post and she has mad, mad photshop’n skills- I feel a little out of the loop on this one. I took the short bus, sorry.
It’s okay - I think his links are hard to notice. Mine are like that to some people too. If you follow my link to his post “Whatever Happened to Teeni’s Meez?” then you need to look lower on his post to the one sentence by itself - it says “You can see what happened here.” The word “here” in that sentence is a link to a youtube video where you will see what he has done to my poor little Meez. It is worth going to check it out. Let me know if you do.
I’m working on something Teeni, I might be a bit though.
Awesome, BD! I can’t wait to see what you put together. But no rush - the contest ends on September 21 so you have plenty of time. I’m just curious. LOL
I’ll have to be neutral on this. It’s funny and looks to be fun, but I’ve got more than enough to do right now so I can’t come out and play.
Well, maybe some other time then, Mike. I’m sure there will always be something going on over here to join in on. I hope you get to play soon.
[…] This means war! So she called out to her reader’s for help. […]
Just a little jib Jab fun with Dan and Mrs Reno . http://sendables.jibjab.com/view/ioEjrbo49IfKaAEG
LOL! Oh, thanks Other Mac! This is great! Oh, and welcome to the Vaguetarian Tea Room. Glad to have you on my team!
Happy to be on the team. Now you have two Mac’s.
Not sure if thats good, hummm I’m sure it’s not good…lol
Yeah, you know it was tough with just the one Mac.
It may not be good but I’m sure it will be fun. LOL

I’m done! I’m posting it on my site and then sending the swf file to you via e-mail.
And it is fricking awesome, as I knew it would be!
Thanks, I love it!!
[…] WAR! Posted by MacBros | Under Funny, flash | - 1 Peepers read this post. Wednesday Sep 17, 2008 Teeni had her little Meez Avatar attacked one day and she is asking others to help out in retaliating. So I thought I would help out by offering my […]
That is pretty funny. Meez always annoyed the heck out of me not yours specifically all of them have. It’s definitely equal opportunity in my dislike of the Meez.
Hi Opal! Well, you certainly are entitled to your opinion of the Meezes (Meezi?) but this was an unprovoked attack and my Meez was caught completely unawares. Anyway, Dan will get his! All in fun, of course.
Well I did get a chuckle at you new Meez, not sure what the last one was.
Today I started visiting my blog buddies after a long hiatus your virtual spot was one of the first places I decided to visit.
Well, that is truly flattering, Opal! I’m honored.
Nice to have you back. I hope you can stay a while this time!
