Bravo, clubjuggle. A 10 to you for lyrics!
07/26/2002 01:48:55 AM · #27
17. You write a song about DPChallenge.
07/26/2002 02:43:42 AM · #28
I give you a 10 for composition, and a 10 for meeting the challenge.

Ok. See, Terry beat me to it ;) But I'm going with mine anyway.. It's a little choppy in parts, but good enough for it being almost 1am my time!

This is to the tune of Gilligan's Island:

Just sit right down and start logging in,
log onto your favorite site.
It's run by two snazzy guys,
who developed it over night.
Drew is a mighty media-man,
Langdon's a man of few words.
The users take pictures each day,
with the rule of thirds, the rule of thirds.
The voting started getting tough,
the volume caused some frets
If not for talented DPCers we'd get stuck,
with flowers, kids, and pets; flowers, kids, and pets.
Leave comments, vote, and submit photos that are digital.
with Mr. Jim, John Setzler too,
the Kermiiiiiii, and his flag,
Arni's toaster, the Hokie-man, and Karen Bryan
here on DPC's forum!!

So this is the tale of our addiction,
we're here for a long long time.
We have to check our score all day,
it should be a crime.
Drewmedia and Langdon too,
still do their very best,
to make things easy as can be,
in their weekly contest.
No Filters, no borders, no large files,
not a single spot-edit.
Are allowed on DP Challenge,
it's primitive as can be.
So join us here each week my friend,
you're sure to get a comment.
From several hundred photographers,
here on DP Challenge!

(need the music, go here for a crappy wav file.)

I'm sorry to tell you guys, but the standards have just been raised:

18: You tell everybody on DPC when it's you're birthday
19: You cry yourself to sleep when your photo only makes second place
20: Your camera has your fingerprints engraved into its sides
21: The finger you use to take pictures is constantly twitching 24/7
22: You carry around a mainframe computer to store all of your images
23: You get a cable modem just so dpc will load faster
24: You have a closet full of cameras-all of them broken from wear and tear
25: You spend more money on your camera than you do your house and car combined
26: You throw your camera away when you think you see a dead pixel
27: You use 35mm film to wipe your @ss
28: Circuit City and Best Buy go out of buisiness because you've bought EVERYTHING they have
29: Your saving up money to buy the Hubble telescope and aim back to earth to get some REALLY cool macros
30: You and a team of other (addicted) photographers come up with thirty rules to see if your addicted to DPC.

Is that enough? I think I'll go to bed now...why is the sun out? Where did my family go? Who put this 'condemned' sign on my window?! Why is this window the only part of my house still standing?!?! somebody has some explaining to do...
07/26/2002 03:52:55 AM · #31
Well I that pretty much sums it up. We are all certifiable nerds for this site.... well might as well get comfy, its gonna be a long ride.

Happy Birthday, Terry.

16. It''s your birthday and your family/friends want to take you out for a nice dinner at a great restaurant but you say that you have work to do and need to take a raincheck (work=hanging around the dpc)

Terry, is it really your birthday or is this one of those bar talk overtures in an attempt to get oldtimers to speak to a newbie??? just joking. :)


Yes it really was my B day
but it did get me on the map here in DPC land.

31. It''s your birthday and you come home from a nice dinner with the family and head straight to the computer afraid of what you might have missed.

LOL..

Happy birthday, TG.

This thread is hilarious. And I thought I was the only one who had these 'feelings' .. :)

Now I know that if I can't make it in the real world, there exists a special DPC island that I can go, and spend the rest of my days eating tapioca, while checking my score, submitting photos, and posting about people's disturbing childhood toys :) ...

And they said I had no life .... : P
07/26/2002 08:39:35 AM · #34
32. you wait at home for the next score update even though that means you'll be late for work and you could've checked there to ... but only 15 minutes after it was posted.
07/26/2002 09:14:16 AM · #35
33. you used to think score meant succeeding with the opposite sex, but now it just means your DPC score ...
07/26/2002 09:18:53 AM · #36
34. You gave up your religion, and now worship the site administrators as your new Gods.
07/26/2002 09:23:26 AM · #37
35. You carry a laptop with you on ''vacation'' specifically and only so you can dial up from your remote island location to submit your picture...and you''ve done this more than once :-)

36. you realize by the way you hop out of the computer chair as you hear footsteps coming down the stairs in your home that you are becoming a binge/closet dpc'er.

37. you catch up on the latest forum and marvel at the new format - only to wake up and realize it was a dream.
07/26/2002 09:34:45 AM · #39
38. You find yourself seriously critiquing a picture of horse poop (no offense intended to the photographer).
07/26/2002 11:41:23 AM · #40
39. You have a dream that has people you''ve never seen before, and they have names that match DPCers.

40. you have several windows open. One for "Vote Now," One for "Forums," one to show your score, and another for insignificant things like work.

41. When 1/10th of a point can make or break your day...
07/26/2002 11:56:16 AM · #42
42. You name your firstborn son "Hokie."
You name your firstborn daughter "shortredneck."
43. Your child''s first word is "kermi"

45 . Your family members join DPC just to get some quality time with you

46.You take the time at a red light to write #45 because you didn't want to forget.
07/26/2002 01:10:02 PM · #45
#47 You look forward to Mondays.
07/26/2002 01:13:47 PM · #46
48. You suffer severe depression if there is no change in your score after an update because no one new has voted on your photo. You feel as though the last hour of your life was wasted.
07/26/2002 01:14:34 PM · #47
49. Your heart races faster when you see that you have one more comment to read.
07/26/2002 01:38:49 PM · #48
50. It's your day off from work and you get absolutely nothing done except for several thread comments (in 5 hours).
07/26/2002 01:51:12 PM · #49
58. You copy and paste stuff from the forums into Word(and find out that there are already 57)
07/26/2002 01:59:09 PM · #50
OMG...I've hit rock bottom and am in need of immediate intervention. This isn't even funny.

#59 You're watching a news update on a horribly tragic situation and you actually notice that some guy at the crime scene has a really nice camera with a zoom lens you've been coveting.

I'm scum.
