LOL!!! R2D2 is the greatest, and he always has been, but this is so ridiculously awesome!

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

The Fearless Leader Maketh Proclamation!!

In consideration of

A. The importance of OOBIE and YAPPIE awards to the well-being of DPC,
B. The General Goodness and Swell Feeling of receiving said awards, and
C. The already overworked nature of certain quiet observations, it is hereby decided that a committee shall be formed known as The OOBIE YAPPIE NOTIFICATION COMMITTEE (OYNC pronounced oink) with characteristics such that

A. levyj413 is the leader of said committee,
B. levyj413 is sole member of said committee until such time as he recruits additional members to said committee, and
C. said committee shall be responsible for PMing anyone who receives any award under the auspices of Team Suck.

Spread the news among the people. OYNC has risen! I will be expecting monthly status reports with charts.

Congrats, Jeff! I've been known to PM recipients if they don't notice the threads right away. Nice to know it'll now be official!

All scores appear to be dropping at my end. That running average thingie keeps running in the wrong direction, darnit!

Congrats Jeff! Did you ever think you would be in charge of something pronounced oink :-) (Maybe I am the only one, but I thought that was funny). Thanks for heading the OYNC-ers.

Glad you said it WriteHeart and not me, lol!

Just entered Chains - down Steve, down! ;-) - and Fitness and Anachronism are still limping along around 4.2. Oh well. I come here to learn and have fun, I stopped taking this site so seriously about 4 months ago.

Aw dang my membership is coming due in May and have difficulties with Paypal last time. Hopefully I can figure out the snafu soon.

Good work Kashi! Go girl!

Oh yeah - just uploaded a new portfolio pic called Cyrus. It's a 2.5 year-old thoroughbred/saddlebred cross I've just started working with. Yes, he really is that tall and skinny, he's like an El Greco come to life.

Excellent! Thanks for joining OYNC, Melethia. You can be ... ummm ... Grand Psymoosetate, Department of Paplundus!

Any other suckers (in all meanings of the word) care to volunteer? Our charts will be boring if there's only two of us.

Anyone who can come up with a self-portrait like this is an automatic OYNCer:

Well I just entered chains and bicycles. Time to step back into the world. I'm not sure about either one of them but I had fun taking pictures and I haven't had that feeling for a couple of months. I am also thinking that along with sucking on picking winning lottery tickets these pictures will be in the same vein.

Hey, I also notice you are in Colo Sprgs. We might be doing a GTG in June. I am checking on dates now.

I picked up my camera again too; I took my son to the butterfly exhibit at the local nature museum, and I'm headed downtown to see if Chicago will give me a chance at a good night shot. The wind chill is up to 20F right now, but I think this will still be a quick trip.

Hi gang. I'm awash in ideas for chains but no way to shoot most of them. :/

For night shot, the weather needs to be right, and so far it isn't cooperating. I did get some good stuff the other night, though, so I'll have an entry even if I don't get to shoot again.

I guess I don't understand DPC yet. I did not think this would score this low. I know that it's not the best picture, but I didn't think it should be in the bottom 12% either :-)

Oh well, there are many other challenges to come. I'm sure that they will also assure my place on Team Suck.

Anyway, no comments necessary, I just wanted to vent. I am fine now. Thanks for lending an ear.

In the spirit of WriteHearts post I feel kinda the same way...I really thought this was a bit better than this...5.17, there I go thinking again!!! LOL.

This is an outake, with a small amount of Diffuse Glow that I liked better but...everytime I use the glow filter on here I get hammered so I didn't this time...

jackal9 and WriteHeart...

Welcome to Team Suck... again. If you think DPC voters want to see junkyards and tongues sticking out at them, you are mistaken. But keep taking pictures of them anyway! That's the team suck spirit!
