Eth, is that the Dalai Lama? 'Cause if it is, I'm pretty sure that his current incarnation is still alive. You might get by on a technicality (previous incarnations, etc.), but you might not, too.

Or did I miss a big news story?

i ain't gonna pay for points, man
meanwhile i finished my metamix if some kind soul would zip them for me?

bmark: it's the panchen lama

posted by ethylene 03 August | 22:06

Okay, then. Fire away, I say.

Is this "worth1000" something you'd need the internet to know about?

but the background image is obviously not mine (from taz' link)
i think the deadline is in two hours
i've never done one before

Is that a requirement? That Brando shot certainly doesn't belong to whoever used it.

i'll zip for you eth...email them to me in the order you want them, ok?

posted by amberglow 03 August | 22:17

i just meant to post them for all here, then to have it all in one spot with the mix
it's a mix of things found here and from me
did someone set up an email for it?

posted by ethylene 03 August | 22:20

bmarkey: read the rules
i can't contact the person in time, so i don't want to seem illegal appropriation
and it's an obvious political statement
so, who knows
eh, at least i got it doneish

posted by ethylene 03 August | 22:23

oh, ok...just email me the listing, or post them in the exact order.

posted by amberglow 03 August | 22:27

i'll do it in the other thread
and since that image isn't finished off, i'm not gonna enter it--
two more things down--
still not what was intended
but fun

That's a nifty picture eth. Now I know why you wanted the link to the billboard site! I'm checking out the contests right now - the ghost one is a cool idea. I like how they ruled out humor.

I suspect that the rule about not using material you don't have legal rights to gets bent fairly often, but I think you made the right choice. And yes, that's a very cool image you've put together there.

posted by bmarkey 03 August | 23:16

I'm obviously very tired, because I read your post title as "okay, i need an orgasm". or maybe I'm projecting. It's a cool pic, regardless.

ethylene, yours is tre cool...but wow, what competition for that contest. Man, some of those entries are just heartbreaking. "Poor Caroline" made me teary...and despite my dislike for his politics, the one with Ron and Nancy at the lake was stunningly emotional. Also...Brando...has there ever been anything as cool as Brando?
