Ack. I did not read the whole message. Too late? Should I delete them now?

Dave, I've now emailed you three copies of a new version, similar to the first in concept. Let counterfeiters use the old version.

By the way, Mooner, while I think your entry is funny as hell…The "Post of the Month" award should be an image of a keyboard that's on fire and smoking, and it must include the words "Post of the Month." Also, I'll accept JPG, GIF OR PNG formats, it doesn't have to be all three. |

| I too, hate instructions. All they do is make things more complcated and confusing. On account of instructions, I still haven't gotten my grand-daughter's Chris'mas bicycle put together!
I did like your images, though. May I suggest something sitting on the post? Like a truely unique bird to set off the unique thoughts, mayhap?

I love the bird. It's gotta be one of the funniest goddamn things I've seen for months.
I don't think my "post" ideas are legal by the contest rules. As I'm busy with a new Chick "translation" right now, I may as well leave it to someone else to do the burning keyboard thing.

| If we wanna sell this stuff, we sure don't want to scare away the "natural" types, who would avoid any water made up of such a scary chemical compound.
Reminds me of a poem I heard in High School Chemistry:
Little Willy was a whiz. Little Willy is no more. For what he thought was H2O, Was H2SO4.

Okay, I've submitted another "Post of the Month" graphic candidate. This one, maybe even legal under the microfascist rules here.

Reminds me of commercially available hummingbird nectar. To make hummingbird food at home you boil a cup of water, remove it from the heat, and add a quarter cup of sugar. Yes, as simple as that. But you don't have to go through all that trouble. You can actually buy hummingbird food. There are generally two kinds available. One type is a liquid. The instructions on the package tell you to add a measured amount of sugar. And the other type, a powder, which you are supposed to mix with a certain amount of water. Any guesses as to the actual ingredients in either of these products?

Back over 20 years ago, my friends and I decided that we could probably make millions selling empty cans, so long as we labelled them with some foreign name, like "Rien" (in script, of course), which is French for "nothing."
We never did put our plans into motion, though. Too much homework in high school. |

| Well, I'm determined to provide you with very possible misinterpreation that I can come up with. You mean, I now presume, a 140 x 140 max graphic that doesn't show a burning keyboard, but just talks about it, using that actual text, plus, says "Post of the Month"?
If I understood that, I suspect the text would have to be unreadbly tiny, though I'll find out for sure in a couple of minutes.
