I always hated "tag" as a kid...

Oh, that darned Lola got me again. She gets tagged, posts, tags ME, and then laughs her evil laugh! Sheesh. I'm not very good at doing meme's and such, but because I'm pooped and sorta crabby, I'm going along with the Photo Tag from Lola.

Mr. Funny (Joe) decides to meet his brother after work for a dinner a few cocktails and then take the train home. Yeah, great idea except the long day and the cocktails makes him fall asleep on the train and he completely misses the station where his car is parked. So, here I am, all settled in for doing my drops and posting, and I've got to throw on clothes and bail his hiney out in the next town over. I should have left him there--it did cross my mind.

Add to all of this that he went to borrow the neighbor's patio set for our party this weekend--he turned the table and the glass slid out and broke into a cabillion pieces. So, I had to write the neighbor a check for $250 on top of things. Sigh. The big guy is in the dog house, needless to say.

So, you're lucky this time, Lola. I'll play along and not complain too loudly.

The idea is to open the first file in your photo collection and post the tenth photo. Ta da!! Not such a bad shot, eh?? I kinda like this one. It is actually one of the very first shots I took with my new camera last year--cannot take a bad photo if I try.

And because Lola has rubbed off on me, I'm tagging a few pallies to pass on the evilness!

  1. Nancy-- check out her Cat Lady action figure!
  2. Merry--Recovering from vacation
  3. Bee-- Hooked on "Intervention" --kinda ironic, isn't it?
  4. DG-- a relatively new pally
  5. Chocolate Covered Daydreams--a really great blog to read each day
Also, due to major time constraints and weekend visitors, I'll be postponing the Dork-Off competition until next week. Please collect your most dreadful photos of yourself for our first edition of Dork-off where we will be crowning the dorkiest blogger EVER! Stay tuned for details.

Chocolate Covered Daydreams said...

Beautiful picture. I got tagged and I'm just as bad at tag as you are. In fact, I'd rather hide than be tagged. But, I'll play along after I get off of work. My picture files are on my home computer.

Casey said...

Ok, Joe is hilarious with his missed stops and glass breaking. Not that you thought so but still. I wish there was a train here, it would be a great way to put my kids to sleep when they go on their insomnia kicks. :)

Lola said...

Oh snap! In all my train rides home from downtown I've always awakened 2 stops ahead of mine. There was however one embarrassing train ride in to work, back when I had my medical issues that I fell asleep, woke up and the train was empty. The only reason I woke up is because the conductor started having a loud conversation with another rider.

Double snap! I'm not even gonna say it, but that totally sucks.

I can't wait for the Dork-Off cause I'm totally gonna win!

Petula said...

Whew! I'm glad I didn't get tagged this time. LOL. I don't think I liked tag as a kid either.

Love the photo... Yup, I would have wanted to leave him there too AND he made a $250 boo boo. Tell him he should walk and talk quietly for at least a week. :D

I hope you're un-grumpy now.

Storm, The Psychotic Housewife said...

Ouch to the table breaking!

Lin said...

Priscilla--It's lovely and all, but there isn't a good story to go with it. Unless you count Joe in the doghouse. Hey! How's Harry??

Chocolate--Use it only if you want an excuse not to write today. That's what I did. It's boring though, isn't it??

Casey--He's only hilarious because he doesn't belong to you. I might just kill him.

Lola--I'm just lucky he didn't wake up in Joliet, so I guess it could be worse. If it was Joliet, he'd still be there. So, you got a good one for the Dork Off??! Can't wait!

Petula--He's out cutting the lawn in 100 degree heat--I think he's sucking up, don't you?? I'm gonna milk it for a bit. ;)

Storm--Nothing like buying the neighbor a new table. Ugh. Oh well, I guess it's just best that nobody got hurt. I did tell the neighbor though, that if she had delivered her own table, none of this would have happened.

DG at Diary of a Mad Bathroom said...

Thanks(?) Lin. I'm a total noob at this tagging stuff, so I tried to do what you said over at my site and let's just say that my results are not as pretty as yours.

blueviolet said...

I'm tired of looking at everyone's nice crisp, clear and beautiful photos. Stop it. My camera can't compete!

Sharkbytes (TM) said...

I'm a lifelong dork... not sure if I can prove it via photo, but I might have to try.

JODI said...

Your little game of tag got me curious what the tenth photo in the first file in "my pictures" was...turns out there is only seven photos in that file. So what's a girl to do in that case-- go to the next file and start off counting 8, 9, 10 or go to the that and and count from one to to ten? Or post the seventh photo in the first file?

Just wondering.

Nancy said...

Haha...thanks for the tag. I suppose I'll play along as long as that particular photo is note worthy ;)

I'm all ready and excited for the dork-off! I've scanned in a nice selection and they're waiting and ready!

Lin said...

DG--What??! Really? Okay, I'll go check it out. Okay, I'm back. Yeah, that is lame--but so is mine. I think that is the point, isn't it?? I think you did a fine job with the tag--that is part of the challenge--making a good post out of a tough assignment!! You got bonus points for joining in, pally!

Violet--I broke down and spent some cashola on a good camera last year. Believe it or not, I just wanted to take good photos of my frogs. Now they have hopped away. :( So much for the photography career.

Sharky--Oh, Sharky! It will be more fun if we get everyone in on it. Go dig up some old dorky photo of yourself and join in! IF you have any.

Jodi--Oh, it's totally Ladies Choice then, don't you think??? You can post some really great photo of yourself or something and play it off like you just have fab photos laying around the basement of your computer. That's what I do anyway. Go ahead. Shhhhh, I won't tell. ;)

Nancy--Alright!! I can't wait. I'm trying to figure out the best way--should I have everyone send them here or should I post the links for participants?? What do you think?? Either way, all blogs will be linked--but maybe being a contest, we should have them in one spot to vote.

BeadedTail said...

I bet Joe was wishing the train went back the other direction before having to make that call to you! And then to break the glass in the table? Geez, he better be good for a long time now! Beautiful photo by the way!

Casey said...

You win. http://halfasgoodasyou.com/?p=5177

Michele said...

Very lovely photo. "Cannot take a bad photo if I try" is that a dare? Because I could so win that no matter what camera I used. LOL!

Popped over from Casey's place. Ciao!

cardiogirl said...

Wait, why do you open the first file but post the tenth one? Shouldn't you just go to the window with the photos, count down to the tenth one and then post it?

I must understand the details even if I'll never follow the directions.

By the way, stellar photo.

Lin said...

Beaded Tail--Yeah, he knew he was in for it. I'm sure he dreaded making that call from the train station. I don't think he'll do that again.

Casey--You've got me beat on the size of that hair alone!!

Michele--Hey! Thanks for stopping! I hope you scrolled down to see some really dorky photos!

CG--I don't care HOW you do it--just post a darned photo!! I'm lucky I can do these awards/meme's at all--I'm so bad at it. And the Dalai Lama says it's good to break the rules, so go ahead--you have the official okey-dokey from the big guy!

Merry said...

I'll do complete my tag once I get the new hard drive installed. Can you hold off on the dork off until then? I want to participate.

Merry--Will you have it in by next weekend?? We are doing it all next weekend--have your photo turned in by Thursday if possible.
