If somebody can get a good looking pic of dust, more power to ’em.

/I got nothing so far.

[U-Man]

We’ll give the FSM a bit more time to ponder. Perhaps I’ve been schneed.

[U-Man]

Elsinore, my entries never made it to the FSM. Am I S-O-L or is there a way to fix ’em? If it’s a pain in the ass you can skip it. My preference would be to have them in the thread. My level of caring about the situation is just above minimal. 🙂 I can save that blue twist for Blue III.

/soosh, congrats on the 4000+ votes.

[U-Man]

I am sooooo gonna out-obvious the hell out of you.

I chuckled.

[U-Man]

Ok, I gotta ask. Would it be completely bad form to do a little endzone dance considering U-Man’s difficulties? It’s just that I’m stoked about my first ever first place. (BTW, I did get to vote on U’s pics before they went bye-bye. I especially liked “Blue Neon with a Twist”.)

Naaa. Not bad form at all. You had the contest well in hand before my host crapped out. And rightfully so – yours was the best pic. Congrats on your first #1 🙂

[U-Man]

Elsinore, please go ahead and restore my pics. The blue one is pretty. I happen to like the dark and gritty tattoo place. And while the Carpet Weavers is a bit hokie, it’s fun.

/Better mood tonight. It’s Friday. Kids are in bed. Cubs didn’t lose today…
//Thanks is advance.

[U-Man]

U-Man and Mopsy: I just checked and your host is still down. I’ll check back later this evening/tonight and see if they’re up yet.

Yesterday, they said it would be up today at 5 AM. Now there is a message stating it’ll be back up Oct 4th, 11 PM PST.

/I wonder what caught on fire over there.
//I’m going to sit this one out. Please remove my entries.
///As far as I know, Mopsy still wants her votes 🙂

[U-Man]

Els, I think I’d prefer to just leave them off and sit this one out. I’m all pissy at imageevent right now. If I change my mind I’ll let you know. K?

/watching my Cubs *CHOKE* isn’t helping my mood. 😡

[U-Man]

Aaaack. The whole image host site I use crapped out “for maintenance”. 🙁

[U-Man]

Thanks for the comment about the cross. I photographed it on two different nights for this theme. It’s a great subject. I just couldn’t seem to make it work like I wanted. Y’know?

[U-Man]

Elsinore, feel free to can my Peeps joke pic if you want to. It just popped into my head when I saw sclark’s first pic. 🙂

[U-Man]

Looking forward to U-Man’s kid holding a neon sign.
And Soosh with a neon sign in the store window of a snow covered shop.

Alas. No kids. 🙂

Neon was harder than I thought it would be to photograph. I’m still in an ooo-a-new-toy phase with HDR so I bracketed many of my shots. I wound up liking the stopped-down pics better than the auto-exposed ones on most.

Here’s some possibles I chose not to use…

That last one is from inside that big golf ball thing at Disney World’s Epcot. Y’know those long strings of light hanging down near the end of the ride? That’s them.

I like the feel of the closed hot dog shop with the turned-over stools. Kinda soosh-y. (not sushi)

[U-Man]

That reminds me. Is there any way I can sweet-talk you into making my first contest entry disappear? I entered on picture on a whim back in 2005 that has totally dorked my statistics. I’m actually active now 😛
/totally understood if that’s against the rules.

I have no idea if it is possible but I would have no problem with that. I mean, it’s not like it would significantly change your averages or anything. It would simply reflect better how active you presently are.

One problem I can imagine is a bunch of folks requesting similiar stuff. That could be a pain. Also, most would not be as clear-cut as this…

[U-Man]

wtf, mates?

I saw his double post and just thought it would be funny to triple post it. Thought maybe some folks would join the fun. I think I was wrong on all accounts. 🙂

[U-Man]

Heh… I hadn’t thought of that… The flash is a low pressure discharge light. …. Hmmmmmm!
