It would have to be extended edit. And flagged to add: Allow one Bernie, that may or may not be your photo.

We could post a useable Bernie here.

Not sure everyone will get this, but it would be fun.

You're missing a topic/thread title, Penny... Tell me what it is and I'll slot it in.

Where�s Bernie? (Maybe the site didn�t like the question mark).

Thanks.

Doesn't mind question marks, but if you copy/paste from a word processor it's the wrong coding.

You could just remove this post entirely and I'd be happy. Nobody's going to see the humor in it now.

I think it would be fun if everyone HAD to use the Bernie that was provided (like you mention ... posting a useable Bernie here).

I agree, has that ever been done before?
A nice way to have something new, should also be archival too.
Would be so much fun!

FWIW I heard the (no longer?) poor woman who makes the mittens is completely swamped with orders ...

Bernie is the guy with the mittens. There are probably better resolution files of this out there, but you must use this picture.
The challenge would be to put him in a photo you take.
I only said extended because you would be pasting him in somehow, but it could be a flag.
It could also be archival to allow more good possibilities.

Right! And Bernie put the meme on a sweatshirt to generate money for the Vermont Food Bank. They completely sold out in very short order!

We've got what, 3 people besides SC/Admin responding to this? My question would be, "Since this isn't an American site but a world-wide one, how relevant (or even interesting) would this challenge be to our members?" I mean, I'M amused for sure, but... Maybe a special challenge....

It'd be fun to vote in this challenge.
Probably won't participate because I couldn't be bothered to cut Bernie out of another image.

Really? You don't know who Bernie Sanders is? OK - guess I was wrong. Sorry.

Honestly have never heard of him but I don't tend to watch the news much these days - it is a bit depressing.

Some would argue that the news is NOT as depressing as it was before January 2oth.

Sometimes you just need to take the proper approach ...

Sanders is the self-described Democratic-Socialist Senator from Vermont who was Joe Biden's chief rival for the Democratic Presidential nomination last year.
