The Photo Contest in On!

close to 50% of the pics I take at DBG are of water lilies. I guess I get a wee bit obsessed.

They are beautiful. Who can blame you for being obsessed?

They are lovely. This is the right place for such obsessions.

Yep, Lemieux, Côté, Bélanger, Tremblay -- those are the Smith, Jones, and Millers of Quebec.

Oh lucky you to be eligible for citizenship in an EU country.

Yeah, I would like that!

I would be more inclined to consider New Zealand myself.

I didn't know that was part of the EU! Well, sure, if it is, that's the place. Speaking of the photo contest, Wild Flowers category is really nice!

Snorkle. I meant it as an alternate choice...

Hmm, I think I almost entered a pic of that same water lily, but I chose a pink one instead! I haven't gotten very far yet in the judging, SO many awesome pics!

BTW I am descended from French Canadians (Raby) but don't try speaking French to me, I never lived north of Michigan :o).

I sometimes joke:
Ich hable espanol nicht!
I can't even begin to say 'I don't speak French' in French.

oh something like "je parles de Francais pas" but I am certain I butchered that.

Como se dici "no hable Francais"???

;-)

(Good one, Jude)

No hablo francés.
Ich spreche kein französisch.
Я не говорю по французкий.
Je ne parle pas français.

Those are all the languages I can't speak French in.

Yes, I knew I garbled it! but I had most of the right words anyway.

;-)

Ich parle pas français nicht.
How's that?

Sorry, Jude, but that's a double negative.

There aren't no double negatives that don't work right.

You mean, "There aren't no double negatives that don't not work." Or maybe not...

Maybe.

The correct grammar is, " there ain't no double negatives what don't work right."

Not to be too un-negative, but no, that is not unclear. Ain't that is. Isn't.

My head is getting tied up in nots reading this. Or is it knots? Please, not knots!

Who's there????

No double negatives do knotwork, and double positives rarely do knotwork, but when they do, they do knotwork as negatives.
But that's just in English.

And there is knockwurst. Which is not worse. But that depends on what it's compared to.

Whatever its compared to, its the wurst!

giggle!

LOL!

drooooool knotworst drooooool. Let's take the asteriod to Vienna this winter for some knotworst and dance with the lipizzaner stallions.

this thread is getting trippy!

I like it!

I just started voting. I'm voting for pics with hoses. It's AMAZING how many hoses are lurking in the contest pics!

Follow me as we hallucifly over here http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1053637/

*sniff* I failed to enter any of my pictures with hoses. *sniff* I should have known better.

No worries Kyla. I failed to enter ANY pics because I was halluciflying but they are all tucked away in my Photo Contest folder because they will be just as fabby for next year ^_^
