411, I really enjoy your photoshops. My favorite is the Commuter Corner photo. Another favorite is the “Long line outside the Elks”, where the people are really out of proportion to the street – or the water main break. They’re fun.

It can be a little jarring, since most pictures are fake, but some are real. So occasionally I do a double-take (like on the East LA one) – but it’s usually no biggie. The “Assaulted with Coffee” one is pretty funny.

Hey they’re not meant to be humorous per se… I like attaching images with most, if not all entries here. You know, pic & 1000 words, etc..

I couldn’t think of a better way to demonstrate what getting assaulted with coffee might look like.

If I had a sarcastic comment included, then maybe you can say those things.. I reported what I heard, and drafted a “re-enactment” so to say…

i don’t find the combination of real news and sarcastic photos in this sense humorous. something in the onion would be a different situation. don’t see what any of this has to do with any of what you said.

Damn, I must be losing my touch.:lol:

Re: point #2- The comment just sounded like it came from someone young and sheltered.

just read the articles and don’t look at the pictures if they scare you.

Seriously. Lily, please correct me if I’m off but:

You’re probably under 25, female on her own for the first time, have Dad’s credit card tucked away for emergencies, have never had to stand on your own two feet, own a small “toy” dog that can fit in your purse & have a low level paper pushing job till you find and marry Mr. Right.

How off am I?

ok hopefully I fixed it and 411 can delete the other two posts.
