ROFLMAO!

0:)

Susan, I may be a little dense, but ... is this a real contest or a test to show how people don't read the rules? In any case, what does "stacking for position" mean? I haven't heard that one before. Thx!

I read the rules this morning when I entered, and I promptly spit my coffee out I was laughing so hard :)

I loved the rules!

Rule 5 is my favorite :)

Yes, of course it's real Patricia! Stacking is when you delete your art and re-enter it for better positioning closer to the front of the pack.

Glad I tickled you guys' funnybone. Mission accomplished! =)

I'm lookin' at you Brian -.-

@susan I like my MacBook Pro enough that I always spit my coffee in a different direction from it. I'm all good here.

Lol, Susan! One of the best contest description & rules ever posted. You win!

Too funny about the stacking. How do folks find the time?

Going to enter, now.

LOL!!

This is funny:

2nd Place: Living with the fact for the rest of your life that you came THIS CLOSE! :)

.

Yeah well, I'm an eternal third placer. Figured it was time to make the second placers suffer for a change, LOL!

SUPER job on the rules! My favorite is #2 -- but they're all great!

I hope You remember the McDonalds judgment with the hot coffee. They had to pay 1 million ! :)

Wait I forgot about the McDonald's lawsuit. Maybe I did spit my coffee all over my laptop and ruin it...... Lol

... thats 1000 new laptops for You Brian! Congratulations!

edit: could You please send one to me ?

Fantastic rules. Can't wait for someone to whine.

I can't stop laughing my head off! :D

Too late, I made my disclaimer. Besides, I can't control your warped sense of humor, I can barely control my own warped sense of humor.

I love warped senses of humor

Oh good, come sit over here by me!

LOL...great advertising :)

Yeah... though prolly not entirely legal. Not the first time I've wallowed in dem waters, winkwink

I am not sure the world is ready for that Susan..... lol

The world has never known what to do with me Brian. They just gaze at me with a distant, glazed look of exasperation. Yeah... just like that.

sounds like when I look in a mirror

You came in 1st in a lot of my contests, Susan!

The funniest rules I've read for a contest! Thanks for the LOL's!
:-D

You do have a wonderful sense of humor. I read the rules when you posted them this morning and couldn't stop laughing. Can't wait to see the winners. :) BTW, do you administer a group or are you sponsoring just this contest?

Me? Administer a group? BWAHAHAHAHA!!! No. Nuh uh. Never. Absolutely not. Ain't gonna happen. When the cows come home on flying piggies. When Kanye wins and Kardashian is first lady. But thanks for askin' HH ;)

Aw, you're welcome Emerita!

It just seems that way because my 3 is bigger Brooksie.

Well,you fill up the number one slot in such a big way that it seems like you've placed 2nd & 3rd, too, Susan.
With ya on the never administering a group, no way ever. Hosting a contest, that I can & do.
Big YIKES if KW was actually serious.

You don't really believe he wasn't, do ya Brooksie? When is he not serious as a heart attack about any of the stupid stuff he does? The really scary thing is that I'd be even MORE distressed about Kardashian being First Lady. That thought right there just makes me :::shudder:::

Love it! Just entered.

Awesome! Good luck Phyllis! I was just headed over there to see if anybody has tried to bribe me yet... that's my favorite part! =)

I shudder to think of it! K & K, strange world, eh, what folks watch & think is cool.
Bribes, lol. Not me, snicker.

Any chance you have a blog, Susan? Now that's something I would subscribe to and be happy to read!

Don't knock it Brooksie, I'm already up a partially eaten pastrami sandwich!

I do have an old blog Nathan, full of disturbing rubbage drug from the dark recesses of my mind, as you might suspect. I haven't worked on it for years but if yer so inclined, knock yerself out: Reality Check: Returned for Insufficient Funds

With rules like this, I had to enter! LOL Love it.....!

Tooooo funny :-)) Entered.

Cheers, Barbara

I have to say, I'm a wee bit disappointed in the bribing loot so far. Certainly someone at least has a WHOLE pastrami sandwich :/

:::sigh:::

I offered to share.... I am a little disappointed as well... oh well I will eat the rest of the sandwich myself..... I have already won

Share? I thought the rest was mine?? Harumph.

I offered half, you wanted a whole... I don't blame you its that good..... I win by getting to eat the other half of the sandwich.... lol

You didn't say half, you said "partially eaten." Partially implies less than half eaten, else you'da said "half eaten." I smell unethical bribing practices.

I am a city employee... I am not good at bribes

BWAHAHAHAHA! :x

love it ... I'm in!!! : ))

Did I win yet? Am I king of the world?

Let me know by Wednesday.

I can not wait.

Dave

Odd, I don't remember declaring any coronations as prizes. Besides, you can't win if you don't brib, err... play. Play! I said PLAY!

Either way I am King capital K of the world. At least till I leave my condo.

No one here is arguing that point with me.

I have ten bucks, what is the address?

Dave

$10 trumps half a pastrami sandwich and oh look, your art is SO UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME! PM me.

I will warn you however, I'm still hoping for a puppy. No refunds.

I dont blame you, with $10 you could buy your own full pastrami sandwich

Mebbe in Boston... in NY I'd be back down to half again :/

Susan,

The check is in the mail, but the end of the world is around the corner if you have
been reading the forum carefully.

I wonder now if I signed the check.

Dave

I just want a pastrami sandwaich

No soup for you today!!!

No worries David, I'll do it.

HURRY! Last chance to get your entries and last minute bribes in! I STILL DON'T SEE A PUPPY!!!!!

Voting is OPEN! Also, to be fair to everyone, I have decided to continue accepting bribes until the end of the contest.

I just had to make the following addition to the contest page:

"10.5.15 Look, I may be a fun-luvin' gurl, but if you guys think I'm kidding about disqualifying vote manipulators, you are outta yer mind. And the one I eliminated first just about killed me (and probably had a good chance of winning without cheating, in fact I had voted for it myself). Yeah... don't. Vote for yourself, and unless you're married or cohabitating with another artist on FAA, you shouldn't have a clue who any of your other votes may have came from."

I am so disappointed. Also, :::grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr::: -(threatened animal noises)

Hi, Susan...just went through all the 900+ images and voted for everything I thought was a winner...as per your quote.

"Voting is OPEN! Also, to be fair to everyone, I have decided to continue accepting bribes until the end of the contest".

No bribe was offered to me, I just did it with a smile - btw either of my images have a vote..zip. (Not that that's an issue, because there are much better images them mine.)

There is just one thing I need to say....the winners...or as of right not (the leaders) are not the necessarily best out of the bunch, so maybe bribes were already accepted...lol... Just say, because there is some really great art in the bunch.

Cheers, Barbara

I'm watching Barbara, don't worry. I'm ready to pounce on any impropriety. Well... any impropriety I disapprove of ;)

Now get back there and vote for your own work! There's no way any piece of art shouldn't have at least one vote at the end of the contest. You gotta get on the leaderboard so you'll be seen by all the voters! Also, I insist all bribes be made in public. I don't hide my own improprieties, LOL!

Last chance to vote, contest ends in just a little over half a day! Contest sanitized for your fairness pleasure! Be sure to vote for yourself, you gotta believe in your art before you can expect anyone else to!
