Silliness is its own reward (Updated with extra mirth!)
Looking over the selection of Firefox buttons at the new SpreadFirefox site, I was inspired to make this:
To the obvious question, I say: Why not? This is an audience participation blog post. Warm up your Photoshops and your MacPaints and lets see your take on the little browser that could!
UPDATE: This comes from Scott @ techory.com:
He has another one on his blog. Cool stuff!
UPDATE 2: Daniel Keep sent this one through email. Thanks Daniel 🙂

Cute. Looks like a bran muffin to boot.

Now I'm hungry ;-) Looks verry good, but remembers a bit the subsilver-theme for phpBb2. Don't really know why, but it's a thing in my mind...

Looks good... I tried a few here: http://www.techory.com

LOL! I'm liking it, hopefully you make a few more, about time for firefox related parodies for ads and such.

That's great Spewey! That second one is an angle I hadn't considered ;)
Kevin on 2004-09-19 22:42:03
Spewey, mind if I inline those images in the original blog post?
Kevin on 2004-09-19 23:14:40
Great idea Spewey. I should have posted a blank earlier
Cody on 2004-09-20 01:14:32

Those buttons are so cool I decided to try to make one myself. It's not as good as the other ones, but it's a start. ;)

Hey, that's nice Spewey. Here's another one I made, in tribute to the wildest, craziest, greatest monster truck of all, Bigfoot! Go U.S.A! ;)

Spewey on 2004-09-23 02:23:15
Uh, d00d! Those are Ford's & Chevy's trademarks. That's not acceptable. I am going to make a Calvin peeing on you button!

No, Calvin peeing on...(wait for it)...IE!
