Hearing Nothing at the moment

Gifts and Odd Men Out


Since I'm all delayed with Photo Shoots, and the response to this week's Weekend Assignment was pretty light, I'll going to pile them up into a single entry, if you don't mind (if you do mind: Sorry. Please don't hit me).

First up, the Weekend Assignment, in which I asked people to remember the gifts they wanted when they were eight years old:

Nite Brite!

The Partridge Family Album

Tutti!

The Atari 2600


Horses, horses, horses!

Excellent.

Moving on to the Photo Shoot, in which I asked folks to picture the Odd Man Out. What's odd? This is odd:

It's cuddly but not a toy

Off-color puppy

The saddest pumpkin

A contrasting flower


The tallest tiki

The chicken asks what it is doing there


It's not easy being the boy.

Going bare

Orange among the green

Another bare moment

The black peep in the family

Looking quite tan

I think that's everyone, and if I missed someone -- sorry. It wasn't intentional.

Thanks to everyone who played along with one or both!
