so is this the place to post cheesy trash talking? (no, leroy... not _that_ kind of cheese...)

if so, i have a few...

*ahem*

- we're gonna squash some bugz...
- where's my raid?...
- hehe... shudder bugz, shudder...
- an abstract macro will be all that is left of you when the week is over...
- yes... that bright blue light on the back porch is perfectly safe... feel free to fly into it... ignore the hum of electricity...
- looks like 20D's about to touch the untouchables... with a backhand...
- back up. we're about to expose ourselves...

and my personal favorite :

- prepare to have your histograms shifted left...

yep. told you they were cheesy...

Well, we Shutterbugz are all MOMS so we will just teach you a lesson in how to lose gracefully. Do not cry when you are whipped! Do not, under any circumstances, expose yourself. And, if you must, make sure you are wearing clean underwear.

I'm surprised Mag 7 didn't even make the playoffs this year. That's like the Yankees missing out on the playoffs. Maybe heads will roll? :P

LOL. Most improved photographer Joey Lawrence? He's only been averaging around a 6.7 for more than a year now! If he's returning for WPL 3 mark him down for most improved again as it'll be easy for him to top his career average of 5.6513 with plenty of room to spare.

Looks like the Untouchables defense is too much for 20D.

Hey now it ain't over till ... well you know.

:-P

Noone on team 20D has been posting scores. My guess is that they have a couple doozies and that the Untouchables need to start looking towards next season. I sure hope I am wrong though.

Well since you didnt accomplish that maybe you should just self dq your remaining shots. Just end it all now. Go on - I wouldnt complain any. ;)

I already have a self-DQ within my last 25 entries, so I'm not eligible.

PS- you and I are virtually tied in the Free Study. ;-P
