Funny Whachamacallit...

Challenge #3 in the Language Of Light series. Hosted by Deleted pending purge.

Challenge has finished

Contraptions, mechanical adaptations or sloppily designed or kept things that struck your sense of humor. From do-it-yourself constructs, over hastily patched-up repairs, to plain dumb and often dangerous original solutions people so often arrive at… anything like that goes. Make us laugh! See the Intro to the Series (click at Laugh@Life above) for additional information, and please observe the Rules! Having to disqualify your entry is no fun at all...

Announced:

Thursday, 22nd December, 2011 (GMT)

Submissions:

Thursday, 29th December, 2011 – Wednesday, 4th January, 2012 (GMT)

Processing rules:

Digital JPEGs with full EXIF and…
… quality analog film scans are allowed. Material, camera & settings info is welcome.
The longer side of the photo should be up to 1600px. Format and aspect may be as you please.
Minor post-processing interventions are acceptable.
No frames.
No watermarks, date/time nor other identification marks.
No composite photos, please. One-shot photo contents only.
No advertising of any sort, please.
Upload your entry resized to a maximum as set by the Rules, and not larger.

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

Make the funny in your theme internationally recognizable. If it includes text in a language unreadable to others, who might thus miss the point, please explain the punch line in Description.
If your photo depicts an ecological or legal negativity, be moderate and neutral. Please do not offend anyone or anything.
In order to avoid legal issues do ensure that people in your pictures are presented as anonymous (faces suitably hidden, averted or changed).
Voting (suggestions): If the photo does not impress you much, award * or **. If the joke is good but the photo is so-so, give ***. If you wish you’ve shot it, give **** ... and if the picture really got you in both humorous and photographic sense, give *****! Any half-a-star above or below your decision means, of course, “between” ;)
No sandbagging, please. Begging for glory is actually sick and disgusting.
