Love the legs, Meis!

of course, I'd want to walk off with the display and plant it in the middle of a flower garden just for kicks and giggles....

Thank you L.P.,
Your idea is just great!
I'm going to steal them and put them in our front yard. Then I make pictures of passers-by. Can I post pictures here again, haha!

I like your thinking Mies!!!

Thank you Carin. Sometimes my ideas are good. But now even really do.

You know what?
I ask for assistance our new gardener.
What do you think of him?
Isn't he great?
In any case he could be a great help!

I hope so :blink:
p.s. What I also hope is, that this one don't need an advisory :sneaky:

Meisiekind ( ) posted Fri, 18 June 2010 at 2:58 AM

Wha-ha-ha-ha....

Oh Mies - how funny!!!! I love your gardener and I bet you he is better than mine who has actually got a head but isn't using it!!!

Thanks for the laugh... I needed it this morning!!!

Wha-ha-ha-ha... back,
to everyone who like to laugh!

: There are more people who have a head, but are not using it.
You doesn't have to be a gardener, for that.

Sometimes I ask myself,: " why do you have a head, sir - madam"?
You must return to the main store, and order another .
Or, can't you find the right buttons there, up above?

Just kidding of course. :biggrin:
Bye bye

My brother's one Jack Russell named SPOOK with means 'ghost' is a real treat to watch when she chases a laser light! My brother shines the light and she goes crazy - she even climbs walls! This was snapped on just such an occasion - you can see the light just above her nose!!!

Ok, I've been side-tracked for awhile and just getting back. I'm rolling on the floor of my office as I look at these shots. Very creative ideas and very well photographed - every one of them!

Had to share one more. My fourth, not part of the challenge. This is my boss wearing a funky costume. Lovely, eh? ;)

dochtersions ( ) posted Mon, 28 June 2010 at 12:18 PM

Really, your boss? Is he a dentist, or what?
Oh, this is amusing me a lot, Kort (if that name is okay(?))
Big boss, big smile,
MIes :lol:

Kort, I know a guy who hangs around the downtown mall who could pass as his twin. :-)

Cracked up me! LOL

I'm sorry for not fully participating lately, and not commenting on the photographs you have posted here... though they are all fantastic, creative, and funny indeed! You guys made me lol literally :) Here is one more snap shot from my end :) What is that?? Well, people in a trance.. dancing. It was pretty interesting to view their expressions!

A smile is a curve that has set many things straight

myrrhluz ( ) posted Mon, 28 June 2010 at 11:12 PM

I'm late again. Wonderful idea and great images! I've been laughing none stop! I'll add an animal to all the hilarious ones I've seen so far. This is my laptop being displaced by my lapcat. My lap is under there somewhere.

myrrhluz ( ) posted Mon, 28 June 2010 at 11:22 PM

I saw this today, on the way home from work.

MrsLubner ( ) posted Mon, 28 June 2010 at 11:42 PM

Tofi, as growing up where I did, I often had the chance to see spiritual trances during rituals and you caught it in your post. The faces are really hard to take seriously. :-)

myrrhluz, those are 2 really great shots and so different in subjects. Couldn't say which is better....they both crack me up.

Oh Gosh - for some reason I did not get the ebots for these last uploads!

@ Kort - Wha-ha-ha... Mies asks if he is a dentist - I think he might need a dentist! Very funny indeed!!!

@ Priska - What fun... even airports have rush hour!!! Very funny!

@ Tofi - Oh dear me... that seems like a fun thing to do... dancing in a trance!!!

@ myrrhluz - You really creacked me up with both your shots! I love that cat's attitude... A real mean machine... And the sign - wha-ha-ha... That is a first I must admit!

Cool pics all... keep them coming!

YES, cool pics. that little airplain after that big one, so funny!
The trancedance, oh, oh, that guy, he's 'making it'.
And that 'lapcat' is hypnotic stunning, with his/her eyes.
Amazing !
Now MY sidewalk here is closed!!!

:laugh: (LOL) Mies.

This has been such a fun challenge! Here's my last.

Myrrhluz, love that "sidewalk closed" shot, nothing like stating the obvious! LOL

So where do they go when a photograph leaves you speechless?

LovelyPoetess ( ) posted Wed, 30 June 2010 at 9:59 PM

Well I didn't get out and about as much as I wanted this month, so I'm going to sneak in a few shots I already had.

This one cracks me up every time I see it, you can tell Annexie thought that particular spoonful of jello was totally misdirected.....

We find playing Bananagrams rather challenging around our house, Mitzie always insists on playing too!

LOL! Very funny shots, LovelyPoetess! Glad you put them in! I love Annexie's expression! That's a very eloquent eyebrow! Your second image made me think of a cousin, his Siamese cat and a deck of cards.

here one of two dogs checking out a dead fish on the beach

what you see is not what you know; it in your face

It looks like his eyes are bigger than his stomach. Great shot, jocko!

Well, they are all funny... I wonder what the dogs were thinking about the strange creature on the beach that is almost bigger than them!!!

Thanks all - I needed the giggle this morning!

And, ya know what??? I'm glad you slipped in with this conehead! Priceless shot and a belly-laugh for sure. Bet his wife stayed 10 feet away as she moved through the crowd lest someone think he belonged to her...LOL
