I am just wondering what the general opinion is. Doe's your own definition of the Word Line mean a straight line ___________ ?
or something more curvy ( ?

or is it something else?

being that the challenge rules just said lines ,It opens alot of doors, which could be why scores seem lower in the current lines challenge. some voters might be looking for straight lines while others might be looking for lines like you would see on an old Tbird.
or a sculpture etc...

What are you looking for?

Curves are lines, just curved lines. I voted on the photo......not if the lines were straight.

the challenge was vague on purpose. a line can mean many things (as listed below) how about a pick-up line or a line in a queue. don't limit your viewing to just one type of line.

whats funny is that my entry is a very literal distinct line and my wife's is much more out of the box and she is beatign me by a good margin:)

On a side note Elvis.. your photo Perspective Escher style is that ball from a sun dial? i have been looking for one for awhile now and cant find them around here. Ive been to a few big lawn and garden centers walmarts etc. no luck. do they still sell them?

07/20/2006 02:19:30 PM · #13

I thought mine was out of the box too. at least a little bit. But my score is going about the same as my last few entries.

before I got a car that had a remote lock I used to do it all the time. now I am so in the habit of using the remote that I never lock the car any other way

our mini van has that stupid anti theft crap the doors look automatically 10 seconds after you close the doors. I wanted it taken out but my insurance agent told me that it wasn't in my best interest. Haha I should call her next time I lock my keys in the car.

I don't know about your kids but mine don't listen at all and there is no way they would unlock it (my son locked my wife outside when she was taking the trash out so i know this for sure)

seems to me like the above senario is more likely to happen than someone stealing my car (at least where i live)

Since they learned how to unbuckle themselves, my kids always get out and never close doors behind them. We bought the van used the security system was installed by the previous owner. However because I use the van for my video business I sometimes have alot of equimpent in there which is why my insurance angent told me to leave the alarm in the van. It lowered my premium. Previous owner lived in Chicago. So I understand the need for tight security.

edited to add. My bad.. I didnt mention this only does that when the car is running if I just leave the keys in the ignition but turn the engine off. The doors only lock when I press the button.

well that makes it worse! I supose it is for car jackers. my work car does that but only when i am going over 10 MPH. I suppose it is worth it for the lower premium, I woudl say carry an extra key in your wallet but if you are anything like me, the first time you use it wil be the last time you see it:)
