    Come to think of it, I agree with Joe and Song Titles From 80's Hair Bands.

    hmmmm, Cinderella - Heartbreak Station; Bon Jovi - Dead or Alive; Joan Jett - I Love Rock 'n Roll......yeah, I was an 80's chick....the teased up-freezed up bangs, slouch socks, tucked and rolled pants cuffs, flipped up collar, shoulder pads, fish-bait earrings, yikes! I assume I am in the company of others of the era....
    Love to dream, and dream in color.

    One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me."

    This is too much fun. I like the idea of using previous themes for a comparison but I'll toss some new ones out here as well.

    Masterful or Obsequious
    Powerful or Weak
    Deception or Truth
    Inconceivable! or Faithful
    Twisted Sister or Poison
    Failure or Failure

    If there is no objection, I'll put together a poll of submitted theme ideas tonight for voting, including the 10 past contest themes. We've got a really good batch (going to be a huge poll, actually, may have to narrow and re-poll top 10 or so).

    While we're all enjoying giving Shay a bit of a hard time here, all in good fun, I know we're also honestly looking forward to what he'll come up with to blow us away. Really. No pressure.naughty.gif

    I appreciate him being such a good sport about this. I'm sure I'll pay, lol.

    one way to do it (in case 10 is the max) is to have several "qualification rounds", and then join (UNION in RDBMS-speak :-) the results for final round...

    truth or fiction

    Man, you keep sending me to the dictionary, lol. Perhaps Mods want to participate in this round?

    Too late to get the list of choices together tonight, fading fast. I'll post a list for voting tomorrow. Long day.

    Mods too? Where did that come from? If the theme ends up being nihilism, I will gladly take a picture of nothing. So far I am proving pretty good at just that.

    I love this
    Well now that I am out of the hospital, I find this challenge for Shay. I love it. :ivar

    This is my idea; something it has been brewing on my head for a while.

    Theme: BRAKE THE PHOTOGRAPHY RULES. One or as many as desired, as long as they are explained and why; and still come with an awesome photo.

    BTW, lots of congratulations for the winners of the last LPS. clap.gif
