It depends on which side you view it from... Right? Well, I guess not, if someone had the american flag backwards everyone would have a cow.

Theme: Since the Woot staff are too cheap and lazy to print up another batch of the much coveted Woot t-shirts, your task is to use today's digital photography bundle to do it yourself. However, just doing a reprint of the existing design won't do. For this contest, you must come up with a new design (based on "Broccoli and Carrots") which Woot may then shamelessly rip off to use for their new Woot! 2.0 t-shirts.

<too lazy to make entry for here...>

Place Woot item in clever, witty, signature.

Now, all we need to do is phink up a compelling contest theme somehow related to today's Lexmark printer/Vivitar camera bundle. OK, let's see. This shouldn't be too hard. Cameras...printers...photography...hmm...I know: pornographic photos you'd be embarrassed to have developed outside the home! No, wait, we did that last week...OK, just give us a minute here, we'll come up with something...of course! Your 'challenge':

Imagine an evil use for today's digital-photography bundle.

You've got an extra couple of days this time around, in honor of the holiday that pays the mortgage 4 phireworks dealers everywhere, so take your time to post a whole lot of entries and don't expect to see the winners announced until Wednesday, July 5. Suckers!

Post your entry here by by 11:59 PM CST on Tuesday, July 4, 2006. Prizes are $20/$50/$100 for 3rd/2nd/1st. The rules and criteria for winning:our panel of 'genii' can and will make stuff up as it goes along. Use Corel Photopaint, Photoshop, pen and ink, collage, MSPaint, Spirograph, iron-on transfers, whatever, but it’ll only be judged if it’s visible in our forums as a jpg, gif, or png. Keep your maximum width to 450px or be banned. If you need a place to host your pictures, try www.imageshack.us or www.photobucket.com. We have no connection to either, but they seem free and easy to use. And if you want us to be sure your entry was indeed your work, postlinks to your source images. The more sure we are that you did your own work, the more likely we are to consider it for a prize. Not really, but we don't want to admit we're likely to name it as a winner anyway, knowing the whining bunch of losers that make up our entrants will let us know toot sweet if it was a cheat. Feel free to make use of images of myself, Dave Bug, Matt, Michael Jackson, Hitler, Bravewoman, David Hasselhoff, in your entries, the more gratuitous use of these characters, the better.

Past money winners: If you'd like to nominate any entries from this week's contest, email your selections (with links to the individual post) to me at jtoon@woot.com by noon CST on Wednesday.

Past monkey winners: If you'd like to nominate any entries from this week's contest, email your selections to me at getaclueloser@ya-hoo.dork by 3:00 CST on Wednesday.

The surprising winner, with all of wonderstew's oustandingly perfectly chopped images banned, due to their size of 451 pixels wide.

Wow, 4"x6" borderless printing! Think of all the times you wished you could have printed a borderless 4"x6"! Wait, Paper is 8½” x 11"!
Come up with some advertisement that describes something mostly useless in a way that makes I look like it is the same as a better product!

Pick to folow... somtime in the future.
Maby KT will have one for this?
Thinking, maby a car and a house...


NAH!

These two items go together like peas in a pod, butter on toast, well... you get my point. Show a pairing of two crappy items paired togher to try to help them sell.

Okay, I admit it. The pressure of dealing with these contests is starting to get to me. And don't even get me started on the Wednesday Web Woundup. The codeslaves have changed the quote boxes to soothing green in an effort to calm me down, but it's not working. What I really need is a vacation. But where to go? Home to Mom? A sandy beach? Road trip? (I've always wanted to see an 8,000 pound prairie dog!) And I can use today's digital photography bundle to capture it in photographs! Here's where you come in:

Show a photo from my upcoming vacation.

Don't just drop me into the Grand Canyon or send me straight to hell; winning entries will show me having a great time doing something I love.
