The Yod Hunt

Yod Hunt Winners

2008-02-26T15:08:17Z

Individual category winners (you get 10 points each for the yet unannounced top secret contest, which are more valuable than they sound).

The Bush picture: Ross wins for his jailed... whatever that thing is. LOL
The Dollar picture: Mamma Bear. WTF famous leather pants. You know, you could probably win any Yod Hunt category with leather pants...
The LOLFood: As much as Ross made me crave Mt. Olive pickles, I have to give it to Lizzie's late but nonetheless hilarious Skittles.

So, Mamma Bear, you win because I'm still laughing about the leather pants. PM me your address, and pick one person to get their backlogged Yod Hunt prize. I believe the list is:

Ross
Crankypants (although you have to get her to give up her address)
WPG (who has been the most patient)

If you belong on the "I CAN HAS PRIZE???" list and I left you out, let me know... It's been a really rough few months for me and my mental list of hunt winners has been lost along with my ability to enjoy relish.

YodHunt: President's Day

2008-02-25T21:49:03Z

Take a picture that fully expresses how you feel about President George W. Bush. Your picture cannot contain words or humans.
Looks better close up - these delightful looking melons were on sale in our local supermarket... nice.

He offers you sweet cherries with a facade of love, whilst all around him, things turn to decaying...

The US Dollar has taken a beating lately. Show us a new use for your now relatively worthless 1 dollar bill. If you live outside of the US, show us your currency's superpowers!
As I mentioned in the group, there isn't much in the way of superpower as far as the pound is concerned. However, lick it and push it into the forehead of your beloved and photograph him in prayer mode in front of a Harry Potter poster and you can get a new God - how's that for a superpower? I wish he'd let me wrap him in a bedsheet though :(

Poundhead

Like LOLcats? Show us some LOLfood!
I bought two packs of Smarties and some jelly teef especially to make this pic!

I didn't take this one, but I firmly believe that had he got his way more often our environment would be much worse than it currently is. I am not liberal either, I am a moderate independent, think Libertarian but without the pot and crazy weapons stock piling. I like McCain though.

Ready for class?

Here we have a dollar as a bookmark (That's Sin and Syntax: How to Craft Wickedly Effective Prose*), as well as my book bag and my husband's (In)famous Leather Pants.

Ruler

Dollars are also handy as rulers. They are six inches in length. This could prove embarrassing depending on what you decide to measure with it.

I R Hawt!

I fail at LoL... I cannot get the letters to a size that is readable in paint so I just put them in the picture title. This is my etouffee. I say "my" because I made it. From scratch. Yeah I am a bit proud of that.

*Last year I took an English Comp class, the teacher was a very nice woman, but as a teacher she kind of sucked. Her idea of teaching was telling you which sentences had errors and then having you look up the error in the text book. I thought to myself, "Damn, I could have bought a book that did a better job of teaching me to write well." So I did. However, it has been difficult for me to read anything for the last few months because the baby often refuses to nap. *sigh*

Yod Hunt: President's Day Edition

Open for Business: President's Day Yod Hunt

http://yodhunt.gr...

Yes, I'm not posting anything on my blog for the time being because certain people are using the content I post to make my life uncomfortable annoying. BUT... you can't be mean about the Yod Hunt! So here it is!

At first, I didn't think I was going to manage the time to enter this edition of the Yod Hunt, what with the new little baby taking up pretty much every waking second of my weekend (that's about 172,800 seconds, for those of you who are counting). But then I realized that the only way I could show support for Yod and whatever kind of attack he's undergoing would be to put together an entry. So I did, and conveniently managed to take the pictures and put together this post in the 10 precious minutes a day my daughter seems to spend sleeping. So enjoy, because it may be the last Yod Hunt I can enter for a while!

1. Take a picture that fully expresses how you feel about President George W. Bush. Your picture cannot contain words or humans.

After the rest of our civil liberties are gone, we'll all feel this way

I think the caption says it all...

2. The US Dollar has taken a beating lately. Show us a new use for your now relatively worthless 1 dollar bill. If you live outside of the US, show us your currency's superpowers!

Well, a dollar bill IS made of linen

With the new price hikes by Huggies and Pampers, it's pretty much a wash whether you're using the bills to buy the baby wipes, or just skipping the middleman and using the bills themselves. Hell, you might even be saving money by not wasting gas driving to the store to buy more!

3. Like LOLcats? Show us some LOLfood!

DO NOT WANT!!

Excitement and bitter disapointment...

2008-01-26T00:35:28Z

OK that is a bit much, but I was at least mildly annoyed when I clicked this community's link thinking there was a new Yod Hunt and it was only an advertisement.

I thought we were supposed to have one, like a week or two ago?

Post-Holiday Yod Hunt

2008-01-10T11:04:13Z

" Your three topics are:

Show us the present you got that most shows that the person that got it for you doesn't really understand your tastes (please explain). You probably want to pick a present that was not given to you by someone on Vox...
Show us what you're drinking tonight for New Years (or if it has passed already, what you drank)
Take a picture of leftovers

This is going to run until the regular Yod Hunt snaps out of its coma next Friday!"

Running late, and with no picture to boot!

I kept looking at this and meaning to fill it out, but just didn't get around to it.

1. I really did not have this issue. I was so focused on my oldest son being happy with his presents and the holiday in general that even though my husband asked more than once I never told him anything I wanted. The holiday is very stressful to me, always has been. The old man jokingly says his present to me is our newborn, for every holiday and birthday for the rest of our lives...

2. My husband and I stayed home for New Years Eve. We played Everquest until just before midnight. Neither one of us drank anything stronger than tea or coffee. I took a shower and then we went to bed. *winks* Happy New Year indeed!

3. The only left overs we had was one sad little chocolate chip cookie. My husband ate it last night before I had the chance to photograph it.

There was a chance that I could have ended up with an actual submission for number one, but my mother in law sent the gifts she picked out to our old address even though we have lived in this apartment for almost a year now. She also sent it to his old last name. (My husband and I both changed our surname to an entirely different third choice instead of going with either of our previous names.)

Ross delivers (but not a baby this time)

2007-12-19T06:02:09Z

Amidst the bliss of not having to spend every waking moment in one room with Mr. sKz and Mini-sKz, I came across a large box and found it to be from our very wonderful pap-a-gain Ross whose reptilian delivery dudes managed to come through.

Behold! The event unfolds! (Or unpacks?)

These lizards sure know their way around packaging!

RPS02

More protective devices..

RPS05

One padded laptop bag
5-pc CD set of Beethoven concertos
One Sony mini-disk player and accessories
One mini-disk carrying case
One darn-close-to-lifetime supply of mini-disks
One Monster Cable
One revolver necessary to repel assaults by Mr. sKz who is trying to commandeer all my cool stuff!

Thanks, Ross!

Hey YOD!

2007-12-15T06:04:48Z

What does the new banner title mean? Is the YOD hunt for sale or rent?
