This was probably a difficult contest to have a picture of, but we still have quite a collection here. Please vote for the picture that best represents our theme, which is a live performance.

Can the next one be:

"Life is a Cabinet, old chum"?

My vote for Moe's unconventionally good shot.
 
Oh, as usual I couldn't decide. Opted to go with TheSwerve's man in a kilt...would have been better if he was a younger man though. :wink:
 
I went for 0TheSwerve0, because I could, besides seing a great picture, almost literarily hear the music!
 
Nothing beats a man with pipes and a beer at his knee!
 
aah it was so hard to choose between bagpipes and integral, but I had to go with integral. the dude looks way too shocked at his own magic trick lol, classic.

Can the next contest be "flaming wiener that looks like dog poo stuffed on top of a melting beer bottle"? because if you make it that I have a great picture I took with my friend's camera today — one that doesn't involve me with my webcam for once! :biggrin:
 
You have barely 2 days left to vote in this contest.

Mine goes it Integral, purely for the facial expression...
 
Ooh ooh! How about:

"Life is a Cabernet, old chum"?

I'm home sick today. Not "homesick." I'm sick, and I'm at home. A little cough medicine, that's all.

"Tobias The Acceptable" indeed! The guy's stage name broke the tie between 0TheSwerve0 and Integral.

Swerve, I swear that guy in the kilt winked at me. I was so frightened I thought it best to vote for him.
