Oh Hai!
I've been looking for a new place to hangout and have been eye-balling DGrin for a few weeks. I sorta thought this place would be cool. Lots of good advice from good photographers, varied levels of experience, nobody seems to take themselves too seriously (read immense ego), yadda yadda...

Then I saw pyro's thread today and thought, "...and best of all, they also have a sense of humor." Then Andy announces the contest.....yay!!!

Now, if I could just get over this *expletive* flu, I'll play, too!

Kthxbye!

Important Question!

How many entries per person are allowed?

I'm so excited

doug pettway · March 12, 2008

cool idea to pass the time.

here is a pic i had laying around that i doctored up just for this:

not terribly funny, but it describes my role here perfectly since i enjoy watching the creations that you contestants come up with.

Since there are no rules, I decided i want all the entries in their own thread. This is gonna be fun, and we'll make lots of silly comments (I hope

) so lets keep those here and make judging easier on ourselves later.

Probably not since I just moved the post here from the "entry only" thread. We'll give 'em a minute...

from wiki:

These images usually consist of a photo of a cat with a large caption characteristically formatted in an uppercase sans serif font such as Impact or Arial Black

mwgrice · March 13, 2008

Stupid question: does this need to be a new picture (like more, uh, conventional contests)?

Anything goes, if the bribe is large enough

that's why you use a proxy (e.g. http://www.hiveproxy.com/)

Yeah, but anything with the word "proxy" in it is also blocked. My boss is no idiot.

Guess I'll haveto wait till I get home

jziegler · March 13, 2008

This looks like so much fun!

If only I wasn't getting ready for a trip to Germany and having a very difficult week at work... With 4 cats, I'm bound to get a shot (or have one) that could work.

Does this mean that LPS II won't be starting for a couple more weeks? I was dreading that it would begin while I'm on a plane to Germany, I won't have net access while over there, and I'd be shooting blind for the first round.
