ISLAND MEME SUBVERSION

[shichahn]

Okay so I tried to come up with ten guys and ten girls for that meme. I really did. I spent over a day trying to think of people, and looking up people online, and by the end of that time I had three guys and one girl. So that failed.

BUT I HAVE A BETTER VERSION. It took me all of five minutes to think of this one! Yes, that's right, I'm going to make you guys vote for raptors! HAHAHA. Take that! Vote off the bird you like the looks of the least. Yes, bird looks. How pretty or how deadly or whatever you want to base your opinion on, I don't care. Every 24 hours, I will re-post the meme, with the two birds with the most votes from the previous day removed from the new poll. And by the end of ten days, there will be one winner each from two categories: hawks and eagles, and falcons.

Please click each thumbnail for a much better view. For day one, these are all normal color phase adult birds, males when the species is sexually dimorphic.

Hawks and Eagles:

1. Red-tailed Hawk


2. Red-shouldered Hawk


3. Cooper's Hawk


4. Northern Goshawk


5. Harris' Hawk


6. White-tailed Hawk


7. Ferruginous Hawk


8. Golden Eagle


9. Steller's Sea Eagle


10. Ornate Hawk-Eagle


Falcons

1. American Kestrel


2. Merlin


3. Prairie Falcon


4. Peregrine Falcon


5. Gyrfalcon


6. Aplomado Falcon


7. Laughing Falcon


8. Crested Caracara


9. Bat Falcon


10. Lanner


And now, the vote! Remember, vote for your least favorite.

Ohmigod Lauren. XDDDDDDD You are so... special. And amazing.

...FYI, I dunno if it's just me or what, but starting with the Northern Goshawk and so on down, the thumbnails do not connect to larger pictures. I just get the thumbnail again. Which makes it hard to tell how gorgeous or not the birds are. D:

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

...Incidentally, who were your three guys and one girl?

[shichahn.livejournal.com]

Whoops! Of course I checked the Coopers to make sure the thumbnails to larger version links worked. Of course everything after the Coopers failed. Typical. Fixed now!

Uh, Chris Thile, Michael Trucco, Noel Fielding, and Marketa Irglova.

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

Yay! Now we can see them in all their proper beautiful glory! (Even if the poll's kinda confusing 'cause it's in a different order from the pictures. ^_^;;)

Okay, I have to admit, Chris Thile's pretty damn cute, and of course Noel Fielding was a candidate for my list.

[shichahn.livejournal.com]

I know, I know, I only noticed that a couple were out of order this morning before I had to leave for work. I really tried to get them all in the right order, I really did! sob. That's okay. When it gets reposted this evening, all will be fixed.

[platoapproved.livejournal.com]

It's not just you, they didn't work for me either.

[shichahn.livejournal.com]

Sorry about that, but it is fixed now!

[hyper-amychao.livejournal.com]

Laughing Falcon. That is an awesome bird! xD

[shichahn.livejournal.com]

Aren't they amazing? XDD

[drownedcities.livejournal.com]

I want to do this now with nudibranchs.

Clearly, using animals is far superior to celebs.

[shichahn.livejournal.com]

Oh heck yes, nudibranchs are so freaking pretty. I could stare at photos of them forever.

[drownedcities.livejournal.com]

Dude, the colours on them are so insane; I love it.

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

Dude, this is SO MUCH BETTER than the one with people. Stupid people.

Maybe if I did sea creatures and people got to look at adorable sea horses and stuff, my stupid friendslist would actually VOTE. *grumblegrumble*

and thank you for being one of the few who did

[shichahn.livejournal.com]

Isn't it just? Haha.

OH HEY LOOK YOU POSTED A THING! I actually did not see that until now, lawl. So I had not voted yet. I will now, though! Man, when people flock things I just never see them. I missed all of Becca's because I so rarely actually sign in to my LJ with my non-RP account here. :(

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

LOL OMG OOPS I totally thought it was you that voted but it was Carrie. OOOOOPS. Yeah, that wasn't actually me being a sarcastic bitch, I was just confused. Don't worry about voting, it's dead. ♥

[shichahn.livejournal.com]

Haha, it's okay, I figured. But! I voted anyway! Because I cannot resist telling others of my opinions via stupid polls!

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

...You obviously need to get your eyes checked...

[shichahn.livejournal.com]

;D Nah, just, something about how far apart his eyes are really bugs me. I dunno.

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

I just can't stop staring at his face. His completely, ridiculously SYMMETRICAL FACE. It's like. Idek. SO SYMMETRICAL.

[evilhippo.livejournal.com]

I like this game! Though I think this version is harder.

[shichahn.livejournal.com]

It sure is harder. Birds are so much prettier to look at than people. :(
