July 22, 2010 at 5:02 am #29953ravnosticParticipantThis was the first contest ever where I felt like I might have to defend my entries. Hmmm.
Why? They fit the bill perfectly.
That topic theme bit is really, really funny!
Topic Theme Bit?
There was a mistake in the TD for a while; this week’s theme, next week’s description. It’s fixed now.

I’ve been working since shortly after posting; only saw one that had to be deleted (the mothra one). Hopefully there haven’t been (m)any more.
It’s a good thread; lots of creativity in the pics! 😀 Hopefully we’ll see lots more tomorrow.
I particularly like Kestrana’s Bloody Mary. Mopsy’s are very good this week (I think the jigsaw puzzle is fine; has rules (pieces must fit), objective (finish it), and it’s a nice picture to boot.)
July 22, 2010 at 5:16 am #29955clouddancerParticipantAlmost glad I didn’t end up getting around to shooting new theme pictures (kind of distracted and only taking pictures of baby and 4-year-old right now anyway, but still). We don’t have many games, but the ones I thought might not be represented thus far have been (Mancala and Don’t Break The Ice, which was one of the 4-year-old’s birthday presents). Also thought of Apples to Apples, but that’s been done now too. May or may not have a usable picture of the Risk game that happened within the past few months, but it’s unlikely. Finding myself rather limited with the shots I want to take and only able to use the P&S and can’t seem to work it to get the shots I want with it.
Sorry! and cribbage are two of my favorite games of all time, though. My sister and parents like Euchre, though. I never could quite get the hang of that.
Nice pictures all around. I’m impressed. 🙂
July 22, 2010 at 1:46 pm #29956KestranaParticipantI left Bloody Mary on the mirror to startle orionid in the morning.
July 22, 2010 at 1:48 pm #29957KestranaParticipantI did wish I still had Pretty Pretty Princess, that would have been a fun picture

It worked. Quite well.

Apply palm to forehead. We have that game. I could totally have used the cute-kid, vote-hoor thing this week. 🙁
July 22, 2010 at 3:07 pm #29960ElsinoreKeymasterWell, you still have Don’t Break the Ice and Slug Bug for your cute-kid shots 😉
July 22, 2010 at 3:12 pm #29961U-ManParticipantThe slug bug kids are little more than (noisy, expensive) props. I agree that there is some cuteness with the Don’t Break the Ice. But not the full fledged cuteness of a 3-year-old Pretty Pretty Princess.
/Or the silliness of a 43 y/o dad princess…
July 22, 2010 at 3:50 pm #29962KestranaParticipantYeah I would have enlisted a bunch of Navy guys. And given them lollipops. And probably beer. Maybe it’s better I didn’t take that picture…

Yep. Better. But, still, I wish you had.
July 22, 2010 at 6:21 pm #29964orionidParticipantHA!
July 22, 2010 at 7:35 pm #29965olavfParticipantHA!
Actually, I’m surprised you didn’t break out the Acey-Deucey.
