It's time for another edition of Name That Kossack, the picture riddle game where a username is worth a thousand words. Here's how it works:
I will give you a series of Photoshopped pictures, and based on what you see, you guess the Daily Kos username of the Kossack the picture is referring to. For example, this:
would be LaughingPlanet. That's all there is to it: Look at the picture, guess who it is. There are 12 pictures in this edition. Maybe they can be used as DK4 avatars?
Here are the rules:
1. Obviously, you need to be able to view the pictures to play.
2. Leave your answers in the body of the comment section. Do not leave them in the subject line.
3. You may use whatever tools at your disposal (Google, Daily Kos search engine, Photoshop, etc) to figure the riddles out.
Also, here are some helpful hints:
a) The pictures will generally get trickier as you go.
b) Some pictures have hints, others don't.
c) Some pictures will test your knowledge of popular culture. Again, Google is your friend.
d) Some pictures are designed to be sneaky. For example, if you see a picture of a bee, that may refer to either the word "bee" or simply the letter B.
e) All pictures were selected to refer to active Daily Kos users who are at least fairly frequent commenters/diarists. In other words, I didn't pick anyone who signed up yesterday or hasn't posted any comments/diaries in 5 years.
f) Finally, what you don't see in the picture may be just as important as what you do see.
I will update the diary by providing links to the first user who answers each riddle correctly.
You can play a previous edition of this game here.
Got all that? Good luck, and have fun!

Hint #2: The answer is not The Fat Lady Sings. If it were, I wouldn't have Photoshopped the picture at all.
