nice photos, marTOOSH |
Thanks a lot Za-RILL-ey |
The funny thing is that people mispronounce my name even right after I give it to them:
Me: Hi, I'm Jeffrey. Nice to meet you.
The other person: Nice to meet you, Jeff.

no one ever gets my name right. ok, that's an exaggeration, but not much.
it starts with being a woman with a usually male name. so for starters, i get called christine, christina, kiersten, kesten, kristen etc. etc.
then, for some reason, people have trouble with the last name too. i think it's pretty easy - it's pronounced as it looks - stall - ey. but - staley, stanley, stooley, studley ad infinitum.
so, i feel your pain, jeffrey ;-P

You'd be surprised how many people screw up my name too! You can't get much easier. STATES (I always say, ya know like United). I get Spates, Tate, Spades, and various other weird stuff. And 9 out of 10 times I also spell it and they still get it wrong. ;P

The name thing?
J E B
How hard can that be?
I get Jed, Jeff, Jim, Jab.....and virtually never Jeb on the first go-'round.
One time when I was working at a car dealer, I had a shirt with my name on it and some lady asked,"Is that really your name?".
What......she think I got a deal on some guy's shirts or something????
I feel sorry for these kids that their parents have to name them something like Alicia.....and then spell it something like Elycea.
That poor kid'll never get a piece of correspondence spelled right in her entire life!

Here's something I found both odd and interesting....
I got a comment that basically tried to second-guess my intent on my entry.....wrongly, I might add.

I'm sure that you can tell the kind of comment I got, but WTF????
Why is this person here?
With that voting average, I'd say the person is pretty much a troll.
I know there's no law that says this person's gotta participate, but that sure seems pretty damn mean-spirited.
I'm sorry if I sound pedantic and whiny, but I'm taking a pretty good whipping with some of the comments on my B&W pic.
And having viewed this profile after another lash, I just wanted to vent a little.
Even though it's been a wild ride, I'll be glad when it's done.

I've now voted on (but not commented on) the song titles photos. Nice selection. I few different ones in the collection that inspired good votes from me, and a few odd ones that got low votes. I gave a lot of sixes and sevens though.
I didn't comment on many - only 20 images, so if I missed yours I will comment later after rollover.
Same with black and white, because I will no way have a chance to vote on nearly 500 images before rollover. sigh. |

Is anyone in Battle of Sexes? I can think of a few ideas, but all require models and a lot of work...LoL :-) I may try one funky idea this evening, but it will probably *suck* |

I'm in, but I don't think the shot will do well. My interpretation of the challenge is a little broad. The details quote "Men are from Mars; Women are from Venus" so I didn't really go with the battle part of it. It seems like something illustrating the differences between men and women would be valid. I took it a step further and showed something that I consider primarily indicative of one of the sexes. Can't be more specific for fear of violating DPC rules. I wonder how many toilet seats we're going to see this week? |

I'm in for "match", though it's a photo which seems to have good instant appeal but then tails off a bit if you keep looking at it.
So I'm hoping people will vote really quickly and move on ;) |

I got a comment from a person that told me that I must really be obsessed with the type of picutre that I took for my song title.
It's the first time I've ever tried this concept.
I can immagine the score I got from him. |

I got a comment on my B&W portrait saying that while I might find my photo interesting, it would hold no interest for anyone else... LOL.

I'd like to share a few comments on my Best of 2006, but it would give away too much info about the entry. Anyway, I'll just say it seems a lot of people just don't have a clue. |

All of the teams seem to have the same number of members at the moment.
Team suck's popularity is high.
I'm sure we can include an extra person in some way. |

oh, but first you have to write an essay or poem of at least 50 words about your thoughts on what it means to suck.
