In other news, if you drink way too much coffee right before you’re supposed to sleep, then drink way too much booze to counter act it, it doesn’t counter act it.

Oh, okay then.
The lil figure guys were pretty cool, I guess, aside from making me cry.

You ruined bin Laden’s plans to cooperate with Carmen Sandiego in stealing Mount Rushmore!

And what kind of stapler uses tampons?

I don’t have words to express how glad I am that my family has no idea farktography.net exists.

If you soak them in WD-40 they might be good for cleaning and protecting old rear-loading staplers, maybe.

Are tampon shots SFW?

schnee‘s example has put my mind at ease.

I’m not crazy about people removing unwanted hair and blemishes.
It seems a bit too far. I mean, can I remove a scuff from a stapler? Are people going to come out looking like they spent the night under a floor buffer? Are staplers? It’s all so many words! The light show at lollapalooza shines at my office window when I’m working and it’s distracting! I’ll probably hear those punk kids all night tonight! I can’t find my keys! My VCR is blinking 12:00! The sky is falling!

(I’ll probably support it when I can get some sleep)

I like “i r smrt kat small”, “do not want small” and “soccer 1 small” the best.

Every person I’ve asked about which shots to submit have said completely different things.

If you feel like helping a stapler out. I’m totally useless with this. As soon as there’s a cat in the shot my brain can’t go further than “YOU’RE A KITTY!”)

Sacrifice a stapler and put tuna inside of it.

I tried, oh how I tried.
It is amazing how adept cats can be about walking in ways that totally ruin your shot. The only staplers I have that are safe for my cats to lick and can be washed and can accommodate tuna are relatively tiny. They usually blocked the stapler entirely from view. When they weren’t blocking the stapler, I just got a lens full of cat butt. When I tried putting the stapler on a box, at cat head level, my cats just knocked it off. Once they figured out they could swat it and get tuna, it all went downhill very quickly. On top of that, the stress of being photographed makes them shed even more (on top of the regular summer shedding, and the stress of having a stray cat living in the back yard, where they can clearly see me feeding him). Have you ever tried to clean dried tuna, caked with cat hair, baked by a halogen from the inside of a stapler? HAVE YOU!?

I’m going to try again today, but so far it’s all been crappy.

I have cats in my home. I have yet to get a shot of them where they aren’t making the statement “GET THAT FARKING STAPLER AWAY FROM ME AND SHOVE THAT CAMERA UP YOUR NOSE YOU JERK!“

I got a #1 with a point and shoot camera. If that doesn’t cheapen it I don’t know what will.
For extra fun, if you look at my FSM profile and can name the contest I first used a DSLR you get a cookie. (No fair to look in the threads for me saying “OMFG I GOT A SUPER CRAZY ?BER SUPERLATIVE PREFIX AND SUFFIX CAMERA NOW LOOK HOW COOL IT IS ZOMG IT IS SO COOL”)
Don’t get me wrong, I notice a difference, but I don’t think too many other people notice or care.
Oh, and it doesn’t hurt to run the pictures by someone whose eye you admire. I pestered tea and idle_hands like mofoing crazy the first… ok, I never stopped. Asking for, and following advice works great.

I think anything you can physically do to a negative should be fair game. So few people use film that I don’t think abuse will be a problem.
Other than that I think the rules are great.

I don’t think people with crappy cameras are at too serious a disadvantage. I mean, you can’t make everything 100% fair. I live in the middle of a major city, I’ve got totally different advantages and disadvantages than, say soosh, who has easy access to awesome, crack-head-free ruins. Some (most) themes favor my location, some favor his. Some people have fancy lighting, some people don’t. There are any number of things that will continue to make it wildly unfair week to week. With Farkers as an audience, I don’t think a crappy camera vs a super nice Mamiya matter that much. A 320×240 cell phone shot of boobies will win every time.

Eh, it’s only money. Besides, what could be more fun than being out in the creepy woods in the middle of the night around sketchy mining ruins, rusty metal, broken glass, & mine shafts with some combustibles, camera gear, and a few bottles of Duvel?

I think I just heard every insurance provider in the world cringe.
