You’ve met them- those people that are far more concerned with getting that tiny little angle on things that someone else has than they are with whether or not that thing will do them any good.
Like the neighbor lady who used to boast that she got her bread for 39 cents a loaf by going way out of town to a little store she found. She spent a buck on gas, not to mention her valuable time, to save fifty cents on a loaf of bread.
Since Hubris is okaying the ladder (and especially after reading your article above), the ladder apparently gives more of a disadvantage than advantage. This will be fun.
Either lots of people have spotted it and are prepared to protect it from “the enemy”, or it won’t be there during the actual climb,
Or it may be broken.
I am looking forward to some “compromised” rungs!
I can neither confirm, nor deny that I’ve poured oil on the rungs.
If you want to climb the ladder up to the top to get the trophy, be my guest. I’m not here for no stinking trophy. I’m here to climb a wall. Now, get back in line and wait your turn.
(Same thing holds for the half-pipe.)
Exactly. Participation trophies just don’t seem to mean as much as the accomplishment.
The way to save face there is to have someone stationed on the ladder as ‘rescue’ and the rescue avenue must otherwise remain open… hm. I’d not mind going UP on the rock side then down the ladder. Saves getting a ‘pinch’… (ask Bob from last fest)
As a side note, I gotta say how impressed I am by the photorealism of the backgrounds. If I didn’t know better, I’d think they were pictures of a real outdoor festival.
*Shhhhhhhhhh* nobody else has noticed!
Superimposing your cartoon over a photo background works great here. Not cheating, just using a cool technique. I love it.
I noticed, but I think it’s cool.
Remember talking to a young lady once when I was in a Dollar Tree (best place to buy chicken broth) who told me people will actually drive back to the store to return something that cost a dollar. they spent twice as much as the item cost in fuel but they got their $1.07 back.
