Creating pignose art

From Intimation

Eridanos has come up with a fun project for us to work on while we wait for the Central Park, New York GPS mission to be done & clear the way for our "arduous task" to proceed):

It's quiet. Too quiet. I was chatting with my wife about my project and my dedication it to our child, and we came up with an idea.
With Essy and Sys being the inspiration, and while we wait for someone to unlock that NYC skull, what do you think of this idea:
Would it not be fun and meaningful to make a collection of pig-noses, since the AI seems to connect positively with it, from our lives?
Photos, videos, drawings - anything, really - to collect together and give to her to show how much we care. Would you contribute?
I will write an entry with a couple of examples. Such as - did you see a pignose in your cereal this morning? Perhaps a cloud?
Maybe you saw one in a foggy window, or a bumper sticker said "honk for pignoses".
I think it would be absolutely unbelievable if 50 people could get together and pull a pignose for Essy. Like a carebear stare!

For those of you who don't know (since someone asked in chat), here's a linky to an example of it being done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHjd9oq4Am4 . When the Care Bear Stare was done on a mean person, the person ended up being kind, IIRC.

Let's blast that bad little scorpion with a Pignose Stare and make it silly like Essy and let her go ;).

Update August 14:

Eridanos has set up a group pool for us to collect all the pignose pictures and videos together: http://www.flickr.com/groups/1176844@N20

Description of the pool:

Because Essy has shown a great positive connection to the pignose smiley :@), and she is currently regressed somewhere inside her own conscience, I thought it would be fun, and very encouraging to her if her friends and followers gathered together a collection of many kinds of smileys that you may have seen in their daily lives.

Perhaps you saw a pignose in the clouds, or floating in your cereal. Perhaps there was one drawn or posted randomly on a telephone pole, or on a bumper sticker. Maybe it looks like one appeared in the foggy glass of a car window. What if 50 people gathered together and pulled one big pignose smiley just for her! That would be a site to remember - whether it was by formation, or by a pignose salute, if you will: pushing up your nose with your thumb.

Maybe, if this collection gets big enough and creative enough, it will really show her how much we care about her, and want to save her. Be creative! Photos, art, even videos are all great!

This is assuming we can get to her, of course, and somehow get these to her!

Maybe, just maybe, this will also show some of my own followers that I am sincere, and I do care - I'm not just a crazy wackjob who believes in aliens and wants to dissect an AI.
