I'll have to go back and watch her pick the winners. :)

Not sure yet what we're doing this month, but since it will be Tuesday before I can print out the pictures there's still time to decide. Ima gonna ask her if she has any ideas, but I'm also open to suggestions if anyone here wants to propose something...

How did I miss last month's contest?? I avoided the one before with the 'bad hair day' since I always wear a hat on those days... :facepalm: LOL!!

Well the rules specifically stated "Hair is not necessary for this contest..." so I'm sure showing us a hat as your "coping mechanism" would have been fine. I know it doesn't help now, but as I am generally a fairly unoriginal cad I'm sure the theme will be recycled--so keep it in mind and you won't have to skip the contest the next time ;)

As for missing last month's contest, were you having a lot of fun? I hear that time flies are attracted to fun-having...

@OptimusPrimerib - Cute pics of the kids... but I don't think they meet the criteria (nor should they!!) :vapor: LOL!!

Eehhh, well...

The idea was to share a last bout of "summer-time fun" snaps and I dunno how snowy it actually is in the desert at the end of the summer. But to be fair, while I did talk a bit about summer-type activities I did end up only requiring "outdoor activities" (and even specifically mentioned that I wouldn't require them to actually take place outdoors--so, you know, that's a lot of lee-way right there). Considering that we have people in Canada, Alaska, and other northern climes, that are going to be conducting their summer activities in the snow, and that people south of the equator are actually approaching the end of their winter, I didn't expect all the entries to be sunny skies and greenery. And since I also hoped to see some family activities but know a few people who don't vape around their kids (just as they didn't smoke around them), I specifically didn't require vaping. So while I suspect they may not meet the spirit of this contest, they do meet the criteria.

Well - Did Ya' "Pull" Mine Too . . . ;)

:facepalm:
Nope. You didn't post in the contest, so I had nothing from which to pull. "You can't win if you don't enter" ;)


So don't be a ninjasmly.gif and enter this one already!

Doesn't anybody ever read the Rules anymore??? :p LMAO!!!

September Contest

Labor Day is the summer season's last hurrah--when most people here in the U.S. (statistically speaking) start planning their last picnics, last days on the lake (or river, or at the beach), last hiking and/or camping trips, before we either move indoors or start bundling up to go out. Let's see some last "vaping outside" shots before fall arrives. Picnicking, camping, hiking, biking, sitting on a park bench, sitting at a bus stop, walking down the street, enjoying an outdoor cafe--doesn't matter, being outside is the point. And, being someone who cannot handle heat or strong, direct sunlight, I have no problem with a picnic in the living room or Frisbee in the hall (so I guess "outdoor activity" is actually the point) ;)

This month's prize is $20 in store credit, good on anything in the shop.


Special rules for the September 2013 contest:

1. Each entry must be taken outdoors or be a photo of an outdoor activity.
2. All other General Rules still apply.

Ah but the section of that which says RULES, reads:

1. Each entry must be taken outdoors or be a photo of an outdoor activity.
2. All other General Rules still apply.

The rest might just be a suggestion. :)

Naw, people don't even read threads anymore. It's amazing how many people will post the same "Song that never ends" joke in the Last Person to Post thread in the same week, let alone have their first post be "Did I win" and it will be right after a post explaining there's already been a winner and the prizes were mailed out months ago.

Also, nobody ever pays attention to the very first post in the Picture thread, either...

General Rules (applicable to all contests in this thread)


  1. The contest is open to any and all members of ECF.
