Waste of time, & I don't have time to waste. ;o)

;) Ya, it isn't perfect. Otherwise the season would last twice as long with weeks inbetween. I don't know a better way to do it. Look at it this way, you will only enter one extra challenge...

What you need to do, Brent, is screw up SO royally that you know you have no shot to make it to the next round.
I'm not wasting time preparing for Jump, that's for sure...:)

I feel like throwing tomatoes at whoever picked "jump". Yikes. And I thought yellow was a bummer ....

My wife just asked me if the "PayPal for $20" was a legit expense, or did someone ID theft us...when I explained how the League of Death added a little cash incentive, her response was:

"Hold on a sec. You paid $20 to have the honor and priviledge of having your worst scoring image get pummeled by Pedro?"

*pause*

"Yes. Yes I did".

Yea, that's what you should do Brent.

I have this whole "jump" wrapped up. I got Pamela Anderson to jump on a trampoline while I took photos...

Mr. Achoo,

If the thrusday challenge was for good, you could alternate inbetween the two challenge to geive a small buffer for the results. ;o)

Spydr,

My challenge seems to be too yellow for the DPC voters. I think it embodies the challenge quite well. ;o)

...but comments like "It's like I'm staring into the sun" are pretty funny though. :D

Great idea. I'll keep that in mind for season two if the Thursday challenge becomes a keeper.

I've only been through a hundred of the entries and I already think I know which is yours...

Actually, now that I look at the title, I don't think you'd name it that. Do you have parenthases in your title? I just remember looking at the picture and saying, "holy cow that's yellow!"

Where's Qart ?

I finally thought of something to shoot for Jump but it's a big one and I'm not gonna follow it up if Qart has me beat in the first round.

cheers,

Hey Bazz... sorry about the absence. Okay... and only because I hold you in such high regard... :)

Hey qart,

Congrats on another nice submission from yourself then. :) Looks like there's about 0.3 of a point between us and only 90-100 votes been made. It could still go either way so I think we both better think about shooting something for the "jump" challenge.

Thanks for the update.

bazz.

That was probably mine then. If it drops below a six I'll be posting it...
