I had some fun this morning. I went around the house and set all the clocks ahead an hour and then woke up my kids and told them they were late for school. Never seen them get ready to go so fast. I even put on my jacket and shoes for added effect, They were ready to run out the door when I said April Fools. I know it is an old gag, But my daughters are 6 and 7 years old so it worked, I might do it again tomorrow just to speed things up a little.

Let's say there's a parking lot with 501 cars. A vandal buys 42 cartons of raw eggs and smashes one egg on each of the cars. Pretty funny, huh! Unfortunately, the police catch the vandal in the act. Do they join in the fun with a hearty laugh? Do they require the vandal to clean up the mess? And, finally, is this a "forgive and forget" incident because it's April Fool's Day? My car was in the parking lot. And, feels like it's been vandalized.

I marked mine as helpful. Wanted to write Ha Ha I hope. Wanted to believe the 1 was really a 10. Who is the greater or happier fool? Should that be a contest? (Better finish my coffee so I can get on with some SERIOUS DNMC).

The police (SC), if they didn't do it themselves, are probably in on the joke. So sit back, enjoy life. You might get a blue ribbon this time. It could lower your blood pressure and extend your life. Life is mysterious and obscure, not transparent.

Well said. And if this follows the pattern of last year, a real comment will be left later. Considering how people complain about lack of comments, this is a good thing.

Do? Go and lampoon all of the pictures in Raish's portfolio. Leave inane comments that make no sense whatsoever and are cryptic and obscure.

E.g. I like the leading lines from the model's nose but the ouvre you chose doesn't match the color palette of the gypsy in the background.

Or more simply: This looks like you took a picture of a used Kleenex and oversharpened it.

Be creative and silly.

:)

And, for me, the real issue is the protection of our images from all kinds of this type of stuff, virtual, administration sponsored, or whatever. This kind of thing calls into question the integrity of the voting. I'm relaxed about it. Not mad! Just think it's a bad precedent to create.... and evidently perpetuate.

Your image is protected. Not one single person viewing, and/or voting will see the comment and score. It will have absolutely no effect on how your image will be commented or scored.

Exactly how would it call into question the integrity of voting????? If the person actually voted a 1 on all the images his vote will *AUTOMATICALLY* be scrubbed from contributing to the results. I would call this a *VALIDATION* of the efforts made to *ENSURE* voting integrity.
