July 2007 Photo and Caption Comments Thread

[adamanteus]

Let's make general comments about this month's competition entries here, to keep the competition thread clear of general talk.:D

[adamanteus]

Good start there, Sjoerd. I think the shadow enhances the photo...gives it some depth.

[Lulu Bennett]

dear me! this is what i have to compete with? i better get taking some pics then hadn't i!:(

[Snaky]

It's a nice theme I think, looking forward to the pic's of everybody!

[Elliot]

Look at all the pretty colorful snakes... I don't stand a chance! Guess there's always the caption contest... lol

[enigma200316]

well its a start!!!!!

[Stefan-A]

Nice one in the caption contest,James. :D


I've got three candidates ready, but I can't decide which to use. ;) One is painfully obvious, one is a painfully obscure MST3K reference and the third is an internet meme. Suggestions? :D

Thanks, Stefan.:) It just looks like it's whispering in the other ones ear! I'd go for painfully obvious, I'd like to understand it!:rolleyes:

[Stefan-A]

I'm gonna go for the meme. Don't really care if everybody gets it or not. :D

Just make it clear, it's intentionally bad grammar in that picture. Could be described as baby talk, I guess.

[stonyloam]

That is pretty good James, but I kinda like the way Lulu says "bum"!:D :D

[Lulu Bennett]

pmsl!!! would bottom be more appropriate?? :D

[drache]

he's just saying that because Americans say "butt", and "bum" sounds cute over here

[Lulu Bennett]

ahhh lol i didn't understand why it was picked up on lol i got it now just a bit slow thats all lol

[Stefan-A]

Was that a reference to The Fast Show, by the way?

[Lulu Bennett]

was what a reference the fast show? oh and what is the fast show?:confused:

[Stefan-A]

The "does my bum look big in this?" thing in the caption contest. The phrase was a sort of recurring joke on the show.

"The Fast Show" (1994) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108771/)

[Lulu Bennett]

oh right erm no i have never heard of it. its just somethink i say alot lol.

[Stefan-A]

A lot of people use it. :D I just wondered if it was a reference to the show. You see, I'm the kind of person who often quotes or makes references to shows and movies etc., so I guess I've just started keeping an eye out for people that tend to do the same thing. :)

Made a reference to The League of Gentlemen yesterday. Don't know if anybody noticed that one. ;)

[Morph]

oh right erm no i have never heard of it. its just somethink i say alot lol.

you live in UK and never heard of the fast show? shame on you :p

[stonyloam]

Hmmmmmm…… I think Rhea is getting to know me too well.:rolleyes: . I do think “bum” is WAY cuter than any equivalent American phraseology (and totally appropriate). :D

[Sputnik]

Made a reference to The League of Gentlemen yesterday. Don't know if anybody noticed that one. ;)

The only quote from that show that I know is " I'm the only gay in the village". lol

"Does my bum look big in this?" is quite commonly used in all sorts of situations. It keeps coming up in all those make over programmes. :D

And... yes it does! :eek:

[Stefan-A]

The only quote from that show that I know is " I'm the only gay in the village". lol
Actually, I think that was in Little Britain.

About that bum thing, I did mean that it's a phrase that's commonly used in real life. It's just that the show used it a lot, too.




"We didn't burn him!"

;)

[Lulu Bennett]

you live in UK and never heard of the fast show? shame on you :p

i thought t was an american show lol:confused:

[reptileparadise]

Awesome parietalis Udo!

*edit...Little britain, great show!

[Sputnik]

Actually, I think that was in Little Britain.


"We didn't burn him!"

;)

I think you think correctly. :D


I can't stand either show so am rubbish at placing the phrases,lol.

[Stefan-A]

I think you think correctly. :D


I can't stand either show so am rubbish at placing the phrases,lol.
That's how it is with any type of comedy, some people absolutely love it and others absolutely hate it. Personally, I can't stand sitcoms (Spaced is just about the only exception). :D

[zooplan]

Hi Stefan,

I´m missing the third group...
those who are really unable to understand the joke at all.

I think... thats me

but just nice to see you laughing :D

[adamanteus]

Garterman7 and Joeysgreen...
Both your pictures are very good, however it think it only fair on everyone else that these pictures should not be included in the cometition. They don't really fall into the category for this month, which is "Garters Curled Up". Sorry guys, please feel free to post them in another relevant thread.

[Elliot]

My picture sucks, I couldn't get good lighting and they were in a plain part of their enclosure.

[reptileparadise]

@thesnakecatcher,
Next time, you could try the macro function of your camera (tulip symbol) It allows you to get much closer to the subject and still make perfectly sharp pictures!

[Josh]

I was gonna but i forgot i had it and by the time i realized she was under a hide o well next time :)

[adamanteus]

Hey Guys,

Only four more days before the contest closes and voting begins. If you want to enter the competition, best get snapping!:D

[drache]

have not gotten a good curled up shot yet
darn!

[Elliot]

have not gotten a good curled up shot yet
darn!

I know your pain lol

[Lee]

ROFL @ stefan's caption. OMG loooooooooooooooool.

[adamanteus]

Terry, so sorry but your entry for the caption contest wasn't valid. It has to be a caption for a photo featured in the photo contest. Sorry about that....good caption too!:o

[Josh]

it does???

[adamanteus]

Sure does. Read the first post in the caption thread....the rules are there.

[Josh]

is mine ok
?\

[adamanteus]

Ooops! Sorry Josh, no it isn't, I missed that! I liked your caption too. I guess I best go back and highlight that rule. Sorry mate, nothing personal.

[Josh]

no problem gota follow the rules

[adamanteus]

Just to clarify...Your captions are to be on photos placed in this months Photo Competition. Sorry if I was a little unclear on that. I feel real bad now, I've had to delete some really good entries. Sorry guys, please don't hate me!:o

[Josh]

we dont!!!!!!!!!

[adamanteus]

Josh and Terry, both your entries were really good, I hope you keep them in mind and use them again on future competitions. I will now go into a dimly lit room and punish myself for being unclear!:(

[Josh]

check out my new one i like it better!!!!!
thanks for deleting it lol.

[adamanteus]

Frighteningly, it's actually clearer when I do put my glasses on! Man, I'm getting old!

[Josh]

hahahaha o boy you crack me up

[stonyloam]

But I do!!!:D

[stonyloam]

Rules!!! Man you give a guy a little authority....... :rolleyes:

[drache]

I think I need new glasses

[adamanteus]

Okay guys, the competitions are now closed to new entries. Some good pics and captions to chose from this month. We just need Boots to set up the poll for us, and we can start voting! Good luck guys!

[Lulu Bennett]

can we vote for ourselves??:rolleyes:

[Stefan-A]

Of course. :)

[Lulu Bennett]

lol i have already done it like :D i wouldn't have any votes otherwise :(

[Stefan-A]

Oh, I admit I've voted for myself in the past as well. But I've always waited until somebody else has voted for me first. ;) Wouldn't want to end up with only one vote that I've given myself. :D

[Snaky]

Personally I've never voted for myself, only for the picture I like the most. I don't even know if I've every had any vote's before... In real life I wouldn't win the contest either and since the contest is just to have some fun I don't see the point on voting for my picture if I like another better:rolleyes:

[Lulu Bennett]

but my picture IS the best :cool: lol

[Snaky]

I would try some new glasses is I where you:eek:

:p;)

[Lulu Bennett]

:mad: that was a big harsh! lol:p

[Elliot]

:mad: that was a big harsh! lol:p

I'll vote for you too Lulu since I like your snakes' purple checkers. :D

[Stefan-A]

I have the same policy. :)

awwwww ty sweety i need all the help i can get lol :D

[stonyloam]

James: How about allowing a second photo in the caption contest, in addition to the one in the photo contest, as long as it conforms to the theme of the contest? It might generate a few more entries and great photos. How about it huh, huh? :D:D:D

[enigma200316]

I think that would be a great idea!!!!!!!!

Unlike the photo competition, you can already enter the caption contest as many times as you like, is that what you meant?:)

[enigma200316]

no I think a diff. pic than the one used in the photo contest is what was meant......

[stonyloam]

That is what I meant, the photo contest pix plus one other different pix that also conforms to the photo contest theme. I just think that would be more fun than putting different captions on the same pix. That is clear as mud.:eek:

[adamanteus]

That's fine by me, Terry. I didn't make the rule in the first place, so it's not really for me to say it's okay to break it, I'll send Boots a link to these posts and let him decide.
