Posthumous Ribbons of the Week, part 2

01/07/2009 01:40:29 PM · #626

No. You have to go through a grueling certification process that takes anywhere from 6 to 8 months to finish, consisting of several multiple choice exams and a couple of dissertations on the meaning of photography and community living. Then, there's a 2 week hazing process that involves village burning, whips, and a test to see how well you do with angry mobs attacking your ribbon winners.

After all that, if you're deemed worthy, you go on a 3 year apprenticeship with Posthumous, but I hear that it can involve things that are better left unmentioned on a family forum.

After all THAT, if you're still willing, you will be granted a certificate to perform human sacrifice and then finally win your ability to give out your awards.

Not many people make it.

The ones that do, are forever changed.

Make your choice. [/quote]

Hmm. Somehow you keep cutting off the original quote bracket in your responses.

I don't have a fancy gif to offer - should I make one? It would of course involve a pigeon... I'll just post these and recommend you take another look if you get a chance. More will follow later, but these are my top three:

(I have trouble counting to three sometimes.)
