No, I don't have a *good* excuse, just that I'll be at a Superbowl party
tonight. Feel free to communicate your displeasure.

I can already predict the mandate summary for this one.
I predict a low turn-out (at least from me) and lots of pics of
modems, cellphones, and other boring stuff.

"What we have here is a failure to communicate!"

Whassa matter, Bret? Couldn't think of an imaginative way meet the
mandate?

Couldn't you have photographed one of those cheerleaders with the
Clydesdale legs holding up a megaphone?

Partially correct, but none of my shots fit your description. Except for the
boring part.

I took one today that might qualify. I'll send it shortly.

Dude, 1950 says hi.
Cheerleaders don't use megaphones any more to communicate the cheers.
They text them to the audience.

Ahhh, c'mon, Bret. The rules are loose. If it's a good photograph,
send it in. Helen will swoon with ecstasy and tell you it should be
in National Geographic, D-Mac will tell you it should have been a
hand-held 67 shot stitched panorama shot from a ladder, Rita won't
understand it if it's in focus, Noons will say it's over-sharpened
crap, and Focus will tell you it's blurry. (Noons and Focus would say
the same thing about a photograph taken with the lens cap on.)

So? That's communication.

Megaphones *are* "in", though. Maybe Tennessee hasn't caught up, but
it's retro-cool.

If those cheerleaders have thumbs as sturdy as their thighs, they'd
need a keyboard the size of a backboard to text.
