    Self Described--- A Pageant

    After seeing some self appointed glorification going on with one of the Samurais (no names being mentioned of course to protect the innocent--- starts with a R)

    I thought it might be fun to take a poll using one of the coolest option on this forum...feel free to post your opinions and any pics supporting your choice...the categories for the pageant are

    Dazed and Confused (my personal choice) Pic to come soon

    Sassiest

    Prettiest

    Ugliest

    o.k. Sexiest

    And Other

    Have fun!

    Talking Of Course I Voted For...

    The sexiest. While someone has laid claim to that title for the men, I have yet to see anyone claim it for the women.

    Of course, if someone decides to challenge the male challenger, and make it an outright campain, I will have to recuse myself from entering. After all, that would be a slam dunk, and the other men wouldn't have a chance! ;-)

    Hehehe. Who says I don't have a sense of humor?!!!

    BTW Nat, of course a Nikon Samurai holds that title! Have you SEEN the Nikon Samurai's? We're all pretty darn good looking!

    There is two challengers to the claim--- so what ARE you going to do???

    Tough call for me too

    but I voted for the one that occurs most frequently
    "I was not trying to be shocking, or to be a pioneer.
    I wasn't trying to change society, or to be ahead of my time.
    I didn't think of myself as liberated, and I don't believe that I did anything important.

    You're damn skippy.

    Speed and Nata;

    I am so confident in my title as Sexiest Member that I don't feel the need to justify my position. My wit will speak for itself.

    My skills as a photographer are further proof.

    My skills as a Renaissance Man are evident enough that I have no need to pleed my case.

    So resound am I that I don't even need to post a picture of me with my shirt off

    What? Samurais and innocent...in the same line?

    After seeing those two words together it is obvious that you have to be dazed on confused. I'm sure Walter and Speed will claim it's their "obvious" sexiness that has done it to you also.

    I have to go with "other" and classify myself as "just plane nuts". Here's a self portrait to illustrate...

    Cheat!!!

    No fair trying to use a picture of Dawn in your post while claiming to be the sexiest. You're trying to confuse us, hoping we'll "bind" the word 'sexiest' with the image of her and agree to whatever you say. I'm onto your tricks!

    ........

    Has anyone else noticed that Samurai sneak around and wear dark clothes and use old outdated tools? What are they embarassed about? Their equipment? Hehe.

    How dare you! I have Dawn in my photo BECAUSE I'm so blasted sexy!

    :-)

    Enough said? ;-)

    BTW, Samurai wear dark clothes because it's cool. Canon Ninji's (which are believed by some to be mythical creatures) wear black to match the color of their hearts, plus they were masks to cover how ugly they are! :-P

    Here's a shot of me wearing light clothes. Feel better?

    ;-)

    Hehehe. This is your's truly, after the Beaufort Road Race. With me are my son, and two of my daughters (all in green shirts) and my son's friend behind him. We all participated in the race (the girls ran the 1 mile, the guys ran the 5K), and this was taken post-race.

    I'm the incredibly good looking guy without a shirt. Not too shabby for a 41 year old man!

    By all means

    Feel free to express your self LOL

    can be any better or worse than those two sassy sexy men competing for the title...

    maybe I could add a sexiest housewife category and have everyone vote for you and be done with it so the boys don't have to fight

    go check out Viewfinder and please give me your input on a shot titled "Abstract....."
