The challenge was to take the top 3 most emailed photos on yahoo and create a hopefully amusing story about the sequence. I reserve the right to refuse a disturbing picture, this includes any pictures of celine dion. Please feel free to add alternative captions if you can or comments if you can't. All rights to the photos belong to the companies in brackets beneath them. All text, concepts and layout is copyright Mort 2003-2007. |

As you might have noticed: I have switched the theme day from Thursday to Monday, to better balance the week. If you are confused, let me remind you that today is Monday and not Thursday, although I wish it was not so... |

| <Eggs Ackley> How about Mort's Now Gone Totally Mental Day? | ||
| <Mark> I recommend Scotch. Seriously. | ||
| <Mark> I just read Mort's entry on the pics. I think I'm going to have the Scotch now .. | ||
| <guyPaulo> I'm having a hard time with these photo's today.... | ||
| <Pedro Gonzales> It's a tranquil monday here today, very quiet. Pretty relaxing | ||
| <Mort> Oops sorry, must stop huffing Kool-Aid. | ||
| <Kumiho> Um... does this mean Mrs. Mort (aka Morticia) is no more? | ||
| <Kumiho> Hey Lauren, here's your chance! | ||
| <guyPaulo> I hope this photo is on MEP tomorrow: ...story.news.yahoo.com... | ||
| <Mort> I hope this one does more: ...us.news2.yimg.com... Morticia is very well thank you very much, it's just a story. All characters are fictional, any resemblence to real persons, past of present, is purely coincidental. | ||
| <guyPaulo> "You hope"? I thought YOU were the cruel overlord who dictates the context of our lives by judiciously selecting the photos to put up here, Mort. Are you telling us that someone else is really pullings the strings behind the MEP curtain? | ||
| <Cookieus Hackus> Really, I get up pretty early (eastern USA time) and the photo selection here usually bears little to no resemblance to the actual top 3 at yahoo, so I always assumed there was a lot of lattitude in the selection process. :) | ||
| <Mort> There is a whole day's lattitude with the selection of the photos. I also try to cut down the number of duplicates now. | ||
| <Cookieus Hackus> I wasn't complaining, BTW. It's always interesting to see what ones make the cut. | ||
| <Kumiho> I thank you for the reduced number of repeats myself. | ||
| <Mort> I think I messed up the 3rd image today. There is a subtle art to picking the right images, I am on the cusp of understanding. | ||
| <guyPaulo> If I might venture a guess Mort, I think that the combination of a theme day with the very specific nature of the first two photos led to a slow day so far today. Its hard to write about what you did over the weekend involving a plant and a bat. We can always throw in a "monkie" joke at the end, so I don't think the 3rd photo was the problem. | ||
| <obtuse> Theme day + similar images = difficult Even without theme day, three images with similarity (nature) doesn't leave much room for creative improvisation. | ||
| <Kumiho> eh, it's only hard to write captions if you haven't got at least one pix of a half naked chick/beefcake. | ||
