Does anyone know where to find a smiley auger operator avatar ?

[surflizard]

 I'm trying to find a little smiley dude avatar running an auger.  Can one be made by someone here on the Shanty and add it to the group we have ? Any help or suggestions with this quest would be greatly appreciated !

Poor Rebel, you have been out in the heat toooo long buddy !! 
I pulled out the Eskimo and the Jiffy today, they've been sitting for over a month since I put the new carb rebuild kits in both of them. WOW, first pull on both, BRAAPPP !! Good to go,  all I need now is some ice !!

Now I have the best of both worlds !!

Surflizard I had to lay my same ESKIMO to rest last season due to scored cylinder Every time she wood heat up she would bog down and stall I was thinking of giving my ICE companion of 20 years a VIKING ICE FUNERAL R.I.P.

I would like to offer my deepest condolences to you BONECRUSHER during this terribly traumatic time that your going through ! Short of Complete Catastrophic Piston Failure, Scored cylinder syndrome is the 2nd most Honorable way for a Courageous, life long friend and fellow Berserker to secure his seat of Honor amongst the other Viking Warriors in the hall of Valhalla !!   Wow dude, that really sucks !! From what I'm seeing and hearing the new Z71 Shark is the Cadillac of the Eskimo auger line up ! I tried an Eskimo Shark many moons ago and I wanted one really bad ever since, but they didn't sell them around here !  I scored mine from an elderly lady, in a trade for
repairing her dock. She had seen me fishing in front of her place last year and offered me all of her deceased husbands ice fishing gear to fix the dock ! Good luck in the search for a replacement, myself personally, I don't like all of the plastic that they're putting on the new augers !

mealworm, please don't be too hard on ol' Surfy....He didn't realize what a screamin' E'mo was like until he scored his ol' Shark and got her wound up!  Trust me...we PM'd a lot back and forth on his "new" treasure.  I believe he has room in his big heart to be able to enjoy both of these together.   I'll vouch for his character and abilities as a die-hard ice man and fisherman...and all around upstanding person. However, using both augers side-by-side is totally up to him....I'm not even goin' there!!!!!! He'll have to deal with that!PS...I want a copy of your Eskimo Avatar...! Proud owner of a Hot-rodded Eskimo Stingray...the screamin' machine!!!

Thanks for the Compliment Rebel ! Everyone is entitled to their opinion, thats what makes America Great ! I can't complain about the Jiffy, she's see a lot of tough winters and a lot of ice without one single issue ! She'll stay in the surflizards stable for a while !    I'll fire off the avatars to your email Reb.

I want to thank everyone who posted and helped with this crazy idea !! You guys rule !

[mealworm]

surf, glad you found your smiley, thats what i love abouut this site...ask and you shall recieve.about my paper weight comment,i'm really only half serious all brands of augers are good and all are junk when there broke i just like throwing jabs and being a smarty.

[surflizard]

No worries Mealworm, Sarcasm is the spice of life ! Your right about the new ones though, I wouldn't buy one, even if you payed me to !   The really sad part is that all of the new augers have way too many cheap plastic parts !    I know one thing, the ice can't get here fast enough for me ! I've got the old Eskimo cleaned up and tuned up, I can't wait to sink it into first ice !!

...album...M99ER is my account at photobucket. I found the animation Googling around and playing with various words as suggested above. The .gif was found at another fishing website as one of their smileys. I copied it to my desktop then uploaded it to PB, then posted it as a pic here.

I just tried to find the original but couldn't remember the exact way I found it earlier. I do remember however it was a Michigan fishing site.

I really appreciate the help with this little project, thank you !
