He does... no one in the family, except Mom, thinks it's funny. Although, I did catch our sister smiling once.

... depends on how much whine we have with our meal. Mom usually ends up face down in the mashed potatoes. Sometimes she sticks peas up her nose and then sneezes. Now THAT'S funny.

For me, this opens up a whole new challenge, to be called out.
After having achieved the Brown Ribbon as a plan, there hasn't been much point left for me at DPC. This new rule could inspire many of the DPC nutters to attain a new, off-the-wall goal. |

How else would she get them out? |

OH MAN... didn't even read this thread and i started this one yesterday i think...
Honesty I don't mind copies, and I think I heard from somewhere, it says, for the photography
There are no "NEW" ideas anymore, there are BETTER COPIES
As long as i can do better than last one, it's good. |

OK, if not illegal to suggest this, everyone who values originality please hurry over to the "Yellow" challenge and give higher scores to all the ones that seem original to you. (Scuttles back to Update button to see if this pushes own entry 0.05 points higher to have it end up on personal profile page..., ...).

Plagarize! Let no one else's work evade your eyes!
Remember why the Good Lord made your eyes,
So just plagarize, plagarize, PLAGARIZE!
Only ... be sure always to call it, please, "research."
--Tom Lehrer, Lobachevsky (1952)

I'm guessing this idea is based on frustration at the lack of originality of photos â€Â¦
but copied photos are a result of the general lack of appreciation of originality by the voters.
Quite a paradox for anyone who wants to submit original ideas AND get a high score â€Â¦ best to hope for a  posthumous ribbon ;P

We could take this discussion to a whole new direction.
Think of Winslow Homer with all those stormy seas paintings.
Now, really. Having seen one stormy (shades of gray, green, blue) wave, we've seen 'em all! Right?
Or there's Magritte who was very good at painting a guy in a black hat.
And he did it more than once!
Perhaps Peter Paul Rubens comes to mind. Without all his paintings of well-upholstered women,
where would we get the term "Rubenesque!"
In any event, no matter which 'side' one chooses in this discussion,
Posthumous has, once again, started a vigorous debate on art.

Not everything that is "out-of-the-ordinary" is art. Our landfills are full of things that at one time or another had, (in the eyes of the producer) potential.

to do all things
with artlessness.

Ahhh, Ray, see, even in a few words reasonable people can read different meanings.
Meanwhile, thanks to Bear_Music and  tnun for introducing me to yet another funny guy.
And cutout too for adding to the fun.
