Regardless, nothing from the 60s should ever be taken as a baseline for normal human behavior.

Words of wisdom, indeed!

Boy, the chatter on this died down quick. Me, I wanna see some photos...

I think the chatter will pick up again once I post the many great photos I've already received. Didn't get a chance to work on that last night, but I definitely will later today.

Sure, you got time to peruse the forums but the contest page still says "no submissions yet."

Got my fourth pic ready, just have to transfer it. And I re-did my third pic, I'm quite proud of this one.

I'm only looking at a few threads here and there, like this one.

Cool, looking forward to seeing it! The reason the pictures haven't gotten posted yet is I need to write two new database-driven pages for the contest, since it's a bit different than the label contests. Won't take me too long, but I need to finish up building all these GreetingCarts first.

No rush, but I *am* looking forward to seeing the other entries. I've mentally planned out my fifth and final entry but it will take a little while to set up.

I had a list of no less than TWENTY ideas initially. I had to narrow it down for a number of reasons, not the least of which were the lack of the appropriate cart and inability to travel.

I think we've all got lots of ideas that involve carts we don't actually own.

I'm trying to aim for entries that are a bit grander in scale than the "Cat Trax + cat" pic I've done so far. The problem will be having the cart clearly visible in shot while still capturing the scene.

(Annoyingly, I was at the local Casino -- the hotel they're attached to has a great lunchtime buffet -- just a day before this competition was announced. I could have done Slot Machine and Casino. Though I'm not sure they love people taking photos in there.)

Yeah, I sacrificed the clarity of the cart for a good scene in a couple of 'em. But therein lies the challenge!

I've been trying to do some less popular titles and some "witty"scenarios. You'll see 'em all soon enough.

Hey, am I allowed to enter?
How about a GreetingCart showing a picture of a GreetingCart showing a picture of a GreetingCart....
Insert ™ where appropriate.

I think you would need a GreetingCart first.

since you're not allowed to doctor photos, i can only assume you flushed your tv.

this would work well in the crack creme thread.
