ah hell my ego can take it; i've had a lot worse embarrassments than losing a photo contest. Like that time when I did a karaoke version of "I Will Survive" with a pink feather boa at a drag show. Now that was tough on the ego. My mom still mocks me.

...only if the boa was Yellow.

I thought it was kinda ironic that I submitted an image for Deja Vu:

and then I find out the next day that in the League of Death, I have to go against this fella:

It really made me laugh...
just thought I'd share.

Yes, the deja vu challenge has perhaps shown that some people may have their hands full.

Little King (62nd) vs. Rikki (98th)
Judi (34th) vs. Bear Music (86th)

The rest of the finishes:
ursula - 6th (can she be stopped)
Bazz - 24th (likewise?)
shaksware - 27th
mattmac - 57th
cheekymunky - 96th

what really made me laugh was when I compared Matt's to one of my outtakes...eerily similar. :)

I've completed my yellow submission and am now just working on the finishing touches. it took a lot of work - fishing line, paperclips, duct tape, some chewing gum, 4 gallons of Jell-o, 2 flares, and a shirpa. That's a lot of work for one challenge.

He was only a rental. I needed him to Trek to the top of a mountain in the Andes which is where the Secret Ingredient of my photo grows.

LMAO!

If I had one, I would make him give me piggy back rides around town.

My sherpa got delayed in Customs...the paper work is killing me. That really puts me at a distinct disadvantage.

I guess my picture of the Yellow Sticky on my desk that says "Beat Pedro" isn't going to measure up, eh?

Just to be clear, the Thursday Member Challenge is not part of the League of Death at this time. It was not considered when we started and I think it would be a hardship to Ecce Signum and his travel schedule.

With that, I'd be happy to elicit opinions on whether a faster schedule is worth having to shoot two pictures a week for season two (if there is indeed a regular two member challenges a week). Obviously as it is already, the winners would not be determined for the previous round before you would have to submit for the next one.

Think you can get one of those flight attendents to play "sherpa" with you?

I tried but the big baggy tunic and earflap hats just didn't look hawt enough.
