I like the funny foods idea, but we could also have off animals, peculiar footwear, outrageous plants or something. Someone crazy (Funnybear? MadMan?) should start a poll...
There are a number of things we could do as a avatar month. I like the animals, not too keen on the footwear idea, outrageous plants can also be quite interesting. We could also have a weird screenshot thread where one would post weird happenings in the vitual world. (any game) mind... maybe weird and wonderful world of insects? fruit/food that resembles human body parts?
edit... noticed i screwed up the sentence..
edit2.. how about a animated gif month, could be about anything or could have a theme. I know that everyone doesnt know how to make a gif but maybe a small tutorial could be put together, it would however require the installation of crappy software though.
