That's how I actually got my own brown. I thought the humor was worth something but voters didn't agree. The score was not in the usual brownie territory, but as the lowest score in the challenge, it still gets the honor.

So I quit commenting on the worst. Hopefully those who do really want the comments will get them from someone.


How do you comment on the worst anyway? I'm always hesitant I"ll piss them off. As for going for the Brown. Well, I don't really like the Charlie Baker type Browns. You know the 160x160 full frame white or black. Not very creative. Now Whiterookis a different story. He presents full size mediocrity. His images really hold the eye. The creativity just runs off his images like juices off a wonderful steak. Have any of y'all actually tried to create a last place image. To do it with flair is a lot harder than you might imagine. To the OP. Find something else to rant about. Like world hunger or poorly designed toilet paper that makes one an amateur proctologist.

Now that is a description worth remembering!

Charlie Baker is a conceptual artist. He is the Andy Kaufman of DPC.

But I agree with the OP. More than one brown has been stolen from me by people trying to get them intentionally. Grrr!!

The one I stole from you was not an intentional effort at a brownie. I did expect a low to mediocre score from that one, but I was really just after some fun comments with it. Yours was one of the best I received.

But what about those who are genuinely trying their best? I just find it an insult to others genuine efforts.


They have a better chance of winning?

If anything, it does them a service.
