    one statistic I haven’t seen on the FSM is number of first place finishes.

    “blow it out your blowhole, blowey!” is a favorite phrase in our house.

    I was really disappointed to find out millera9‘s wasn’t A Bag of Dicks

    I hope mine are relatively easy to guess

    I have no idea what your hat one is

    /or harpo’s beets or staplermofo’s entries or Choc-Ful-A’s entries or Soosh’s entries or … well I don’t know a lot OK!

    As usual, I can’t get most of these ([‘m terrible at this sort of puzzle thingy), but I had fun trying. 🙂

    Also not surprisingly, I misunderstood the rules. I thought we were supposed to submit multiple entries for the same word/phrase. No biggie…

    FYI, my phrase was supposed to bring the PSAEF cliche sig tag “/lens flare” to mind. So a geeky visual text joke comparing “lens flare” to “/lens flare”.

    My first one was “Hit The Road”, then “Burning a CD”, and then “Shooting Coke”. The coke one is similar to the one I entered in the contest “On the Wagon”, but taken a few weeks after that contest.

    I thought the first one was “go pound sand”, which is a phrase a love.

    I don’t usually post here in the forum but just had to say that U-Man’s “gilding the lily” was not only inspired but an absolutely gorgeous photo – it was my hands-down favorite this week. 🙂

    Yeah, the closest is the Average Standings stat. I’m not sure how to “normalize” the raw count statistics – someone who has been in 200 contests may have more number one’s than someone who has been in 20.

    Anywho, the FSM seems back now. Sorry for the outage.

    How about ‘First Places per contest entered’ as a fraction? or even “Top Ten Finishes per contest entered”?

    Back on the top ten, yay.

    It seems like you already have all of the normalized stats that could be wanted. A “total number of 1st place finishes” list would give people who have been around longer an advantage, but would still be interesting.

    It looks like my last-minute decision to replace 2 of my entries what definitely the right one. No way my “wet blanket” would have gotten a top 10.

    Thank you. Of the three I entered, it was my favorite. I think that the saying is just more obscure than, say, don’t cry over spilt milk.

    Camel toe and Two peas in a pod are a couple that got my vote.

    /voted for the wet pussy too. 🙂

    I have to hand it to you U-Man. Week in and week out you enter photos that are creative, original, and very well done. Not many farktographers, or photographers in general have such a solid grasp on all those those aspects.

    But, seriously, as a parent, how did you explain ConsumeAndDecease to your daughter? I bow to your parenting skills.
