Images will be scored according to moderator's chuckle factor. Post on Mondays only, gmt or thereabouts. Maximum of two images per poster per week, but link to more, if you want. Be selective. If the joke needs explaining - well don't bother (save it for Friday)

Post in this thread, to keep opf pristine and pure.

Beast washes,

Ok, not a joke photo, but this one is high in "smile-ability" for me.

 

[Cem_Usakligil]

I guess we both are not funny after all.

Hi Rachel,

You are the professional in the field of psychology so please don't get me wrong when I say that there must be a difference between something you can smile at since it evokes warm feelings in you and the uncontrollable urge to laugh at something simply because it's funny. I was under the impression that the second category was the one we are aiming at here in this thread.

BTW, I have miserably failed at my first attemt as well. Ray rates it only 2/10 and you know what, he is actually right too (LOL).

Cheers,

Cem

 

[StuartRae]

For all those who have trodden somewhere they shouldn't. My friend Jerry who thought a piece of green grass was safe. Silly sod!! Oh how we laughed!!

Stuart

 

[Rachel Foster]

You are totally right, Cem, and I knowingly misused the thread. I was hoping it might make someone smile as it does me. (P.S., I'm a bit of a rebel, but I bet NO one ever noticed that.)

If no smile results, but only a de-railing does, please feel free to delete.

 

[Ray West]

A very poor beginning. I award 2/10 to Cem, and probably slightly less to Stuart. Rachel has to stand in the corner, until she promises to behave herself.

Plenty of room for improvement, must try harder.

Hi Ray,

Remember: the idea was to have fun and being reprimanded while trying to do so is kind of counterproductive. You, Sir, are a tough master! (LOL)

Cem,

Rachel, at this moment, if it's usa wake-up time, is probably standing in a corner, trying to get her old man to take a photo of her, or something, so she can post next Monday. (I really, really, truly hope she hasn't got on her 'St. Trinian's outfit'.) You, being European, sort of have the edge here, since you almost have a chance of comprehending the Devonian sense of humour. In particular, I had mentioned to you, a year or so ago about the close ties of Holland and Devon, re wool and bricks, so, unfortunately for you, you are almost family. You are ahead at the moment, so stop complaining! Now Stuart, he's from Norfoilk or some such place. He stands no chance, but he's stubborn. Next week, maybe a few others may poke their head over the parapet, we'll wait and see.

 

[Rachel Foster]

Stand in a corner?


MAKE ME! I'm a dignified, mature woman. Sniff.

 

[Steven Lifson]

Here 'tis! Why wait till monday?

 

[Ray West]

Well Steven,

It's sort of given us a target to aim for next Monday, allegorically speaking, I s'pose.

Best wishes,
Ray

 

[Cem_Usakligil]

Here 'tis! Why wait till monday?

Bingo! A great retort and what a good capture of the body language BTW! I give it 10 out of 10. (LOL)

Cheers, Steven and welcome to OPF.

[Rachel Foster]

But...but...but...I wanna win!

 

[Rachel Foster]

I almost got a decent shot for Monday...but it disappeared before I could get it!

 

[Ray West]

Hi Rachel,

I'll give you a few clues, if you want to win.

1) You've got to make me chuckle with the photo. i.e. something that is obviously funny, with no written explanation required.
2) Mondays only - if you post before then, I will see it, and the initial impact when I assess on Monday will be lost.
3) There are plenty of sort of 'visual impact cartoons' out there, but if I've seen it before, then I won't chuckle, since it will have lost the impact.
4) you may need to fake the images using photoshop, blue pencil, whatever, add bits/drawings from other images (your own)
5) If you want two images - you can have a 'before' and 'after'.
6) Because this is not as easy as you probably thought it would be, I will accept bribes.

Best wishes,

Ray

 

[Rachel Foster]

I'm on it, Ray! I did "sort of" get the shot but not quite the way I wanted. And you see it is NOT here. My plan is to arouse your curiosity by mentioning it but not showing it til MONDAY. (I'm applying "psychology." Unfortunately, I also know most of the time that usually fails miserably.)

And...the check is in the mail! HA!

 

[Rachel Foster]

This is probably ONLY funny to me...but it makes me laugh!

 

[StuartRae]

Hi Rachel,

It made me laugh as well!! Thanks.

Here's mine, but as Ray has no sense of humour, I doubt that he'll find it funny.

Regards,

Stuart

Well, still Monday here!

Not mine but quite funny imo:

Rabbit on right: What?

Sorry, couldn't resist

 

[Rachel Foster]

Man, those are some funny photos! GIGGLING HERE!

This is so Far Side....

Hi Rachel,

Man! I don't know about Ray but this really is my favourite, kind of like the Far Side cartoons of the greatest cartoonist of all times, Gary Larson.

But no worries for our man, George, after all. From what I can see, he just happens to carry his reserve oxygen tank in his packpack (LOL).

ROTFLMAO.


Cheers,

Not at all, Arvid. Welcome to OPF, what a great entrance you've made (LOL).
Settle down and enjoy yourself. While at that, make sure that you drop by the "introduce yourself" forum later ;-).

Cheers,

Cem

 

[Arvid Holt]

Thanks Cem, I'll do that.

 

[StuartRae]

Hi Cem,

.............greatest cartoonist of all times, Gary Larson.

He's my hero as well. I used to have a desk top calendar with a Larson for every day of the year.

This isn't a competition entry

My all time favourite is this one - a birthday card from my daughter.

Regards,

Stuart

I don't know why I suggested this, well it was probably Rachel's fault.

I did not log in on Monday, to try and get the 'instant hit', so to speak. And I grudgingly have to admit that they all made me smile. Did any of 'em make me chuckle, how to score?

Well, the photo of Rachel in the corner, at the time, probably worth an 8, but it wasn't Monday, and it needed knowledge of what went before.

Rachel's second shot, the railway crossing, if only a bit earlier, would have been worth a 6. I like the 'walk your bike'. I thought things with wheels, you push, - things with legs you walk. (in the UK, it would be 'cyclists dismount'.) Worth a 5 for that image - for me it's two for the price of one.

Stuart's, as a postcard, dropping through my letter box, would be great, but because it is preceded by a challenge re my humour, or lack of sense, do I say it's an 8 to prove him wrong, or a 2 to prove me right? No, if there was a bit more work re the ripples round the shark's head, and in spite of the explanation, I think 'Oi'll give it Foive'. (but I remember an early Guinness advert with the submarine in the duck pond).

Now Dierk's, made me smile, I can't quite decide where to place it. It depends if I'm a cat or a mouse, I guess. Not quite a chuckle, but in different circumstances, could well be, so I guess a 5 also.

Janet knows about dogs, and probably knows a bit more too. Very good, got a sort of grunt, must be worth a 7.

Now for Arvid, not too late to post for Monday.The time it arrived was 3.29pm and is more or less exactly what I was looking for. I am not sure if there is hidden humour in the added line of text. Worth a good 8.

Nicolas, having been away for a while, probably didn't realise it was meant to be photos or something he had taken, I can't remember if it has actually been mentioned, maybe we need a cleaner set of rules. But I think he did the translation, so should we let him play?? Well it did raise a smile, so I'll give him a 3.

Now, are we happy, or would you prefer a bit more definition, re rules, or do you think you will be able to post an image that makes me wipe the coffee and phlegm from my vdu?

Best wishes,

Ray
