I,m finding it quite hard to get excited at all by this theme. Went cycling through the forest yesterday and took a few shots of some forks in the roads and paths I encountered but dumped them all in the trash when I got home and viewed them in my editor as I found them as unexciting and uninspiring as the theme itself. And no...I am not going to place a ordinary household fork out of my kitchen drawer in the road to photograph. Guess I'll be giving this one a miss.

Ps:
I found this one quite funny though if not a bit rude.

To Beetle, Strikeslip and beatabg. You were the straws which broke the camel's back. You didn't necessarily do anything wrong, but it was a cumulative effect at the end.

Seven years ago (knife/fork/spoon challenge):



I almost never enter anymore, but I do lurk in the shadows....

What is the government putting in the water this week?

However hahn23 wants to vote, is his business.

I vote when I want to, how I want to. I comment when I want to, how I want to. Whether I raise a score for creativity, or lower it for the lack thereof, that's my business. I enter when I want to, and don't when I don't. If that makes me "a member like you", too bad. Suck it up buttercup. I pay my $25. When someone else pays my membership, then they can lecture me...

Truth be told, you can lecture me now... Only it will likely have no appreciable effect.

I used to have a cool two tines fork in Poland. I miss it.
So... if I see a two tines fork in the challenge give it a 0? Got it ;)

No Bs. That would explain why you didn't get mentioned.

BlackJack starts with a B. Your meme entry title "Busted" begins with a B. Beetle & beatabg. I get a double strike with two Bs. I see a connection...

4 Bs? Wouldn't want to be in your shoes.
And a fork has 4 tines. Evacuate!

Naw, Strikeslip. You dun nuthin' wrong.
Now to get this back on topic, I wanna know where - and at what tables - do you play blackjack.

I need to get a little more loot substance in my retirement account.
Now, I think I know where to get it.

It's because I don't always play the way a robot would play, and some people think that somehow ruins their hands. I'm just there for the complimentary drinks while playing for gosh sake.

Oh, you bet. (ahem)
Me too. I was there for the company!
and of course, to add to my retirement fund.
Heh, heh, you didn't answer my question.

Dang, I didn't see this until just now. Wow. My fault, I guess. I have the same effect on people at Black Jack tables. I'll have to try to figure out what Beetle and beatabg did. Right now it looks to me like it's because their user names are similar, and similar names piss me off too, so I can understand that.

Judging by all the sorrowful goodbyes on hahn's bye bye thread, I should probably make an apology thread to express my remorse for the way I've wronged DPC.

Ray, disregard everything else I said and look at my first sentence; that's the bottom line of the discussion. Richard never said he'd vote anything down,a very negative thing to do. He said he'd give a lower score to literal interpretations, a reasonable position IMO.

I'll happily join Richard in saying I give higher scores to imaginative entries and lower scores to cookie-cutter solutions. Is there ANYONE here who can say the opposite with a straight face?


Ah but you see my friend there is a monumental amount of difference between what you are saying and what Richard is advocating.

You are saying that you will give higher scores to imaginative entries, whereas he is stating for a fact that he will give lower scores for literal images... there is a difference and a monumental one at that.

There is no disputing the fact that creativity has an inherent value in venues such as this, but assuming that the creative mind fails to associate the image to the challenge then I fear that the effort, is for naught.

It could very well be that my understanding of the English language is not at par with the majority of the members of this site, but from my perspective there is a monumental amount of difference between what you said and the views expressed by Richard.

Do take the time to correct me if I am wrong.

PS: Send me an email... I have some syrup for you. :O)

Wow. I wasn't actually the one arguing, paraphrasing, or anything like that. I thought I'd let the rest do it. I only agreed with Beetle because she said something I was thinking for a long time. But yeah I am so bad! Thanks :)

One of the joys of my departure from DPC is I no longer need to suffer such indignations. Enjoy your tenure at DPC.


Ah, so you say something negative about me in your post and then accuse me of indignation? Makes a lot of sense. And thank you, I will enjoy it :)

Frankly, I don't think I said anything negative about you. But, I do know you for your lack of integrity. It will be a major relief to not have to be in the same forum with members like you. Let me know when you reach 100 challenges or 25,000 votes cast. I predict you never will.

Really now... and just how did you arrive at that conclusion.

Do have a wonderful time away from this venue that is seemingly such a source of aggravation to you. :O)

Ray

Not me. I can't say anything with a straight face - it's always slightly askew.

I probably could... but then again I have years of practice. :O)
