Ooh ooh, pay attention to me!

Stolen from various folks:

I love looking at people's icons, but I don't always *get* them - I often wonder stuff like, "Who's that guy?" or "Where's that quote from?" but I tend not to ask, for various reasons. So come on, here are my icons. Pick one (or more!) you're curious about, and I'll try to explain it. Or at least explain what I like about it.

Who are Knives and Meryl?

Ok, I'll bite. Where the hell does the "Does Jesus have to choke a bitch?" come from?

Is this a f_w thing? You people are teh crazy, dig?

[jaina.livejournal.com]

The "choke a bitch" thing comes from some Rick James parody sketch, I think. I've seen is used humorously in various places, but I made this icon after reading about some kerfluffle on journalfen involving Jesus, I think. Someone suggested there should be an icon with that text, so I made it.

Man. Boring story.

Meryl = straight-laced, by the book insurance girl sent to follow Designated Human Disaster Vash the Stampede in order to keep him from doing property damage. Eventually falls in love with the big goof.

Knives = Vash's evil twin, the one really responsibile for most of the shit vash has been through.

Who's in the hollow icon? I can't tell.

Vash with a soulful Bish expression and Meryl in the background. Got the pics from the doujinshi I love most of all in my entire collection. They're drawn a bit more shoujo than is canon, but the art is SO pretty.

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

It is pretty.

;_; Right show, wrong ep. It's from The Chapelle Show, and the episode in particular is the Wayne Brady ep, and the original quote is "Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?".

One of my favorite TV moments EVER. XD

For once, I think I get all of someone's icons. Duuuude.

[missandrony.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but I get all your icons. ;)

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Even the [BOMP] one?

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Bitch.

[a-hollow-year.livejournal.com]

Ah, shit, I missed that on my way through. Okay, I'll bite. WTF is up with [BOMP].

[jaina.livejournal.com]

BOMP is the dramatic music thingie (perhaps from a bass drum) at the end of the theme music for The Amazing Race. It's supposed to be all dramatical. The TWoP recapper got in the habit of mentioning the [BOMP], and lo, it was amusing.

Boring story, but BEST ICON EVAR.

[buttercup0222.livejournal.com]

That episode was funny as hell.

[buttercup0222.livejournal.com]

How about "I got this hat off some guy named D" ?

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Have you ever seen Vampire Hunter D? Like Van Helsing, he's...er...a vampire hunter. And his hat is floppy, too. So...funny!

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Go fuck yourself.
