I'm blushing! ...for those who weren't at GFM: Doug and I decided to give the photo contest a little more class this year by performing the judging entirely in French. Which neither of us really speaks. But we didn't let that stop us. "C'est fromage" (preferably exclaimed very dramatically) was the highest of acclaim. Even though we *do* know what that means. More on the judging... If anyone read my blog entry "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Grandfather Mountain Nature Photography Weekend" you may recall the following note: "While you're listening to Sunday morning's guest speakers, we're in the basement finishing up the judging of the photo contest. The facilities for the judges are fabulously luxurious. We recline in ermine-covered seats, savoring truffles and vintage champagne and viewing the contest photos on 193-inch plasma screens while naked Tahitian virgins give us foot massages." We arrived at judging HQ on Sunday morning to find one of the GFM employees had equipped the stools at the judges table with fake bearskin rugs from the gift shop (presumably as a reasonable substitute for ermine). They also left some chocolate truffles and an (empty) champagne bottle. When we noticed what brand of champagne it was we stopped complaining about it being empty... And there was a note explaining that the lack of Tahitian virgins was because they'd been let go due to the economic turn-down. Doug told them they needn't have let the virgins go -- we could have worked out a trade of some sort. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
