The massive sinkhole in Guatemala City May 31 was not the first such phenomenon in that area. Another big round hole appeared (or disappeared) in March of 2007. Of course, Fark had to do a photoshop contest using a picture of the cavernous void, and I had to participate. (I was rather Fark-ish those days) Changes in the link structure of photoslop.com resulted in my contributions disappearing from that site, but they are still here:

It may be small, but that is a picture of TV’s Original Lassie there.

This recycled something I used in the only Fark Photoshop Contest I ever won.

This was so obvious I didn’t know why nobody else did it. A Fark moderator told me – Goatse references were one of the very few no-nos in their photoshop contests. I assured them the hands were not from the Infamous Original Goatse picture (why subject myself to THAT to clip out pictures of hands?!?) but it didn’t matter. I was a bad boy… even by Fark standards.

Bonus Slop:

This was a much funnier joke when I came up with it before the game, during a conversation about how the Super Bowl ALWAYS runs way long… Of course that meant that this game would come closer to ending on-time than it has for years… Such are the dangers of anticipatory satire.

Feeling, crappy with a capial K, I did a half-hearted entry for “Theme: Everything is better with bacon” and incredibly, came in 2nd place, with more votes than everything except a rather nasty pic of Kevin Bacon. Go figure.

Less successfully was my photoslopping of an odd-looking part that a half-dozen entries before me had defined as a “doohickie”…

And this interpretation of an “angry guy with a shovel”:

See you all after the Stupor Bowl, when I hope to have something funny about football or half-time shows or commercials that don’t feature K-Fed…

First the Nazi Raccoons, now a “Cat Mafia”?
