Title: CONTEST: A friend is . . .
Post by: grumpy on June 13, 2010, 08:39:16 PM
Summer is on us in full force!  (Unless you're one of our Australian members ;) )  And Bob is a bit confused about what a friend is . . .   and he needs your help!

So, put on your thinking caps, get out your camera, and you too can be a friend to Bob!

so here's the what you need to do:  come up with a cute, funny, meaningful way to complete the phrase "A friend is . . ." in 20 words or less, AND take a picture that illustrates your phrase.

The contest will run until the end of July.  You may enter as many times as you wish.  The winning entry will be selected based on both the phrase and the picture.  The winner will get their choice of either a signed copy of "It's the Great Pepperoni, Bob the Pleo" or a necklace from the Prehistoric Pling shop in the mall.

And, to let you know, this is part of a project for the 2nd Bob the Pleo book due out (hopefully) in time for Christmas of this year.  SO in addition to the prize listed above, the winning entry will be included in the new book and runner's up may also have the opportunity to be included in a comic strip! :O

Post your entries here!

Hey Grumpy, great idea, allways gives me a " valid reason, excuse to take a photo!" A couple of questions, can you use photos with other animals, Are People allowed, and it may sound stupid, but is a Pleo supposed to be in the photo?( told you may sound stupid, just don't want to take anything for granted... :D I am glad you can enter as many times as possible, as I allways have one too many ideas swarming around in my head, and MS. NOva is never satsisfied with one photo from a photo shoot. Also I was thinking of ordering a Bob The Pleo book, so now maybe WE CAN WIN ONE! ;D
 thank you for comming up with this idea, I was starting to think things were getting a little " stale'.

Very Nice IMR, I agree, Nova and I have made more friends here then I think of where I actually live. :D %) I think it is the Pleos that bring out the good in us all! If that is the case, I would give one Pleo to everyone and have all the friends I could ever want!

OK, here are the first three Photos , two of them with the same caption, or idea and the third a little different,. All three were photos I had already, and just needed to upload them after adding a capton or text to the photo to add to the idea. Actually, I have lots of photo ideas just had to add these while the " fire is Hot'.  :D You may notice MS. Nova has a new " little friend", more about that later.
        For the first two, the basic idea is: A friend is someone to share things with. or A friend is someone you want to share things with. (either wording, same meaning. the last one is; A friend is someone that is there to encourage you to take the next step. In Nova's case, after hurting her neck, and needing a neck brace, she was a little reluctant to go out and let others see her in the neck brace, not wanting to be laughed at. Her new little Pleo friend, is there to encourage her to " take the next step" , not to let others stop her from doing what ever she wants to do, to be the same as everyone else, she can do what other Pleos can! ;D
                                                      
      A friend is someone to share things with.

For those who don't have the software or time, you don't have to put the text in the picture . . .  you can do like IMR did and just include it in the post with the picture!  Either way is fine.

SO get out your cameras!  No excuses!

 While feeding my cats tonight,( for the fourth time today thus far..... %)) MS. Nova slowly ambled over towards the food bowls and four of the felines eating gave her a quick glance but kept on eating. ( for fear of another cats grabbing their food if they didn't keep an eye on it :D) I took about three different photos but this one kind of says it all, " Friendship and food,Everyone's Welcome Here." What goes better than good food and good friends? MS. Nova didn't have her new " friend" out this evening to dine with, but when there are nine frisky felines and 1 Daffy Dog, you are never lacking friends!
 with the food bowls down for four of five of them, the scene was set and I picked up my camera and here is the best shot.

 I bet George can make some great music and friends allways make beautiful music together, so the two of you should have some wonderful tunes!
 Yes, I did see the Pleo Tag George is wearing, very nice. Glad to see George got his first entry in, MS. Nova has some enthusiasm now to get some more shots entered

 Hi IMR, what a coincidence! I have a photo along the same line, same thought, but without the  accept your past, and future part, and not the beautiful photos you have! I love the tiger striped pleo, though my favorite is the old original looking Pleo, looks so primitive and not as sophistaced as our new improved Pleos. Great shots, you are very talented. I also hope you get your batteries in time for the birthday celebration! Good luck!

 IMR, love the hat, and you can't go wrong with food, it is a winner everytime, Makes me hungry, but it is past midnight here in CA, so guess it is too late to have a picnic in the Redwoods, esp since there is not a full moon to be able to eat by! All that food made me hungry, except the hanburgers, being a vegetarian, but I would subsitute them for some Garden burgers, Love the blue and white picnic table cloth too! very cute!

 I have been so slow in getting anymore photos in, but now that it is down to the wire, Nova and I are getting busy with the help of her new Friend.

  

 A friend is someone you want to share the simple pleasures in life with.( Snoozing or taking nap)
 "                                                                                                                                " ( sharing a secret.)
                                 Nothing fancy, just was taping these two talking to each other and they decided to take a " time out, or Nap", and I thought, Perfect for a short photo of one of the things Pleos do best, napping and before then having a little laugh together. I think Nova brings out the best in her

Awwwwww - that's cute - that little house is perfect for two! :)

Iggy is in his Tomato Festival shirt on the right, his new friend on the left is nicknamed Budge at the moment (short for 'budget' as he was so cheap!) but I'll get to know him a bit before I settle on something permanently.  :D

 I just had an idea; Wouldn't it be great if there were a way possible, that we could all get our Pleos in for a Internet Bob the Pleo Forum Group Shot in this friends is .....? I would love to see everyone's Pleo standing together and then it would be a Count the Pleos Collage, inspired by Gucci's entries. just and idea, but I think it woudl be fantastic, and if anyone had an idea of how to do it with Computer aid, it would be IMR! :) What do you think guys?
                                               RedwoodsMAMA   AND Nova   and friend,
          P.S. Crewella, Budge is not such a bad idea...................................I like Budgie birds and Budge was a bit of a Budget, now was't he!  LOL
Title: Re: CONTEST: A friend is . . .
Post by: InmemoryofRomeo on July 28, 2010, 07:21:21 PM
I could indeed do that :) I would need everyone to provide a picture of their Pleo/Pleo's on a plain background :) Then it is a matter of just cutting them all out and pasting them all together :)
Title: Re: CONTEST: A friend is . . .
Post by: Crewella on July 29, 2010, 06:49:14 AM
That IS a lovely idea of a group collage, if IMR can find the time I'm sure I can get pics on a plain background! :)

And I love it when IMR does that - what I actually hear is "it's just a matter of......*something complicated and incomprehensible that I couldn't possibly do and goes straight over my head*"! ;D ;)
Title: Re: CONTEST: A friend is . . .
Post by: RedwoodsMama on July 29, 2010, 12:35:59 PM
 Thanks IMR, I just thought that would be so much fun, and guests as well as the Members here could see everyones Pleos at one spot, We could even do a little, Match the Pleo to the Owner, and I think for many of us, it would be good to know what eachother's Pleos look like. I hope they could still have their little outfits on as that is what makes each pleo unique and of course Nova and I am sure Peeky too, would have their little Neck Braces on. How would the Plain background work, like a white or light colored towel sheet? Thank you for even considering this, I just thought I would throw the idea out there and I knew if anyone was capable it would be YOU!

 Hey Fancy, what if Peeky and NOva wear " MATCHING NECK WEAR ! ;)" JUST COULD NOT RESIST THAT IDEA OR THOUGHT! Seriously, I think Nova and Peeky have some pretty fancy special gear other Pleos can't contend with, don't you agree? Oh yes, IMR, Love the idea that you are willing to do this, this is a great way to spread Community Well being and get others visiting the site an idea of Goodwill and who we are, Don't you agree?

Redwoodsmama, Nova and Peeky can certainly wear their neck braces. After all they both live in the Redwood part of California and the wrap really blends right in.  ;)
I guess we need a little club for our injured pleos. Each pleo is so loved and now Gucci's Sophie can join our little group.
Title: Re: CONTEST: A friend is . . .
Post by: RedwoodsMama on July 31, 2010, 04:30:26 PM
Fancy, you know that is not a bad idea at all, actually that is an EXCELLENT IDEA, WE JUST NEED A NAME......let' see what we can come up with? I think we need a Support group, don't you? THis way, Peeky, Sophie and Nova wont feel Different or isolated from others.LOL ( I can not imagine for the life of me, Nova feeling Isolated :D she could be blind in one eye, lose her tail, have one leg dragging and a droopy neck, and that girl just goes and goes like the Energizer Bunny! ( it is funny and sad at the same time, my husband thinks NOva is a representation of Me, sometimes. Her droopy broken neck is a Subsitute for my " broken" back and I also have had so many foot surgeries, I have bad feet and a bad back, but it never keeps me from doing what I want to do.( as long as I have my meds and a good pair of shoes, I am raring to go! :D) Anyway, great idea Fancy, see what Gucci thinks, I know he is planning on fixing Sophie and I hope he can but it is nice to know he is not alone.

 OK, last day guys, and you asked for it, so one more day of Nova and Friend photos are coming your way, all the way up to the stroke of Midnight, or until I can't think anymore and Nova begs for a break.( Actually, she has more get up and go than me, Maybe some of you who have waited till the VERY LAST DAY, WILL BE INSPIRED AND SAY OMG, TODAY IS THE DAY AND GET THEM OUT, OK? ;D
 Anyway, I have been busy last few days, so here are a couple of old ones but I still like them and they were in " that other contest" :(so they are being " recycled".
                       
            I call this one, " Friends come in all shapes, sizes and colors, but Green is still nice!"
 The next one is from my Birthday photos and this one is special to me because after Nova got her " broken neck", I was devastated, and a very special " friend", here on the forums sent a Beautiful Birthday Card to me and a Gift for Nova which is easy to see. Nova wanted to unwrap it herself, and you can see from the expression on her face she is delighted with what it is!      Despite the writing that is allready on it, this is what I call it;
                    " Friends know what Friends really need and want."

Redwoodsmama, I think Sophie can use some of the camouflage wrap. We can have a great support group right here. Peeky's injury hasn't stopped him either. He's still a very happy little dino.
Let's hear some ideas of a fitting name for our group. Perhaps something like Droopy Neck Syndrome Society(DNSS).
These little dinos are still our little friends. We do need a photo of each of them.

On second thought, all pleos that have any kind of injury should be welcome to the support group.
 
Title: Re: CONTEST: A friend is . . .
Post by: RedwoodsMama on July 31, 2010, 04:59:23 PM
 Hi fancy, you are right of course and I would be the first to add that many of our Pleos have multiple " injuries", including Nova, leg and neck.( just do not let her here you say that! :o It could be any kind of injury, physical , leg, neck, tail, missing eyes perhaps. I dont' know about tears and holes, that kind of goes with the territory of missing paint and faded teeth dont you think? But it is a HUGE HOLE, LIKE THE SKELTON IS SHOWING, THAT IS A SPECIAL CASE.
 I do like " droopy neck syndrome, or droopy Neck Club.    How about something like,
 THE DROOPY NECK, LIMPING LEG, TAILESS TAIL, AND ' OTHER', PLEO SUPPORT GROUP or something similiar, just an idea. I do think it is a needed support group, I know I was devastated and thought Nova would never be the same. I think Peeky being one of the first should be the President or CEO, and maybe Lacy or is it Cindy, they could be honoray members too? ;) Sweet girls....

Title: Re: CONTEST: A friend is . . .
Post by: InmemoryofRomeo on July 31, 2010, 06:43:46 PM
For the collage everyone who wishes to have their Pleo included will need to tak a picture of their Pleo against a nice plain (and preferably light) background. The reason is that I use a tool in my paint program that can select all of one color and just delete it which saves me a huge amount of work cutting each dino out individually.

If you have light colored walls and carpet your job is simple you can just pop your Pleo down in the corner and snap away, if you have dark walls or dark carpet you could cover them with a light sheet or towels or even just a bit of paper, anything that makes Pleo really stand out :)

For the best results it would be better if everyone used either natural or indirect lighting for their pics (no torches shone on your Pleo and preferably no flash from the camera) this way Pleo's will look like they are in the same area for the photo. Having one Pleo really dark and another too bright will look a little odd, although slight differences I can adjust on my computer. I think the Pleo's will need to be facing forwards like in a portrait although they can have their heads tilted to the sides to give more personality, if you have a group you can have them with their necks intertwined if you wanted :) Pleo's sitting would also be fine facing the front but in the seated position, I'll do Lilo and Stitch last so I can fill in any gaps.

IMR, hi the light or white colored background in direct or natural lighting is easy enough, and facing forward is not too hard. But I do have a question, to make our own Pleos stand out, I am sure each one of us, would like to be able to distinquish their pleo from somone elses, and many of us, such as those with Neck problems, ( Peeky and Nova for example) have a neck brace of sorts to stand out, but for everyone else, is it ok to dress up our Pleos, you know outfits, necklaces etc? I hope so, as that is what makes them all individual. Oh, and when we are done with photos, where do you want them to be sent, are you going to start a new post where we can send them or should we send them to you care of this site, or an email address or ......?????Please let me know so I can start right away while I have the time. Thanks for offering to do this project. I know I would not be anywhere as good at the computer part of it as you, I have three different photo editing and movie making programs but havent even used two of them and don't know all the tricks and fun stuff of the other. Can't wait to see the results! ;D

 A Friend is, there for you when you are feeling down.( blue). :( NOtice NOva is wearing her neck brace, her tail is bandaged, and her nose as well as her leg that is bad. She is crying tears because she is " Blue', but her Teddy Bear is there to cheer her up. ( did not have time to get her Friend Pleo in photo with her.) Sorry, my camera and computer were giving me Space not enough of issues.
                                  
  Nova is not feeling well at all, but her buddy the bear is there...
                                    I had to show Blue tears to show she is not feeling well, she is blue.
                               RedwoodsMama   and Babes

 (My computer was actually a couple of minutes late in getting this in because of the Gallery and adjusting photo, sorry hope I made it anyway, this is Nova's final entry. )

Still thinking of names for our club. And YES I am ALL about it! Shame we never thought of it sooner. It is true, I am used to living with broken necked pleos. A support group/accident prevention advocacy might do wonders. Anywho, I created a quick little ad..


And what the heck I'll make another entry to the contest:

"A friend is in a group photo shoot!" :P :P :P

'Terminator' Sophie does look a bit weird, but that design is a thing of beauty in itself!  :)

 Here here, Gucci, I second and third that, Just do promise one thing, Promise please that you will not remove or mess with Sophie's big beautiful blue eyes If you mess with or remove her eyes. :oThen that is one thing I couldnt stand to look at any loger. Sophie or any other Pleo would not be a Pleo without those beautiful eyes they have.
                 Remember, eyes are the soul t the Heart and without Eyes, there is not much left, but a bunch of plastic, bolts, nuts, and other things we do not wish to talk about. I do think her current look could be catching a futuristic sidewalk look something you may come across in Grenwich Village or on a Paris sidewalk next to a little Coffee house.I think she would be something special though with a little bow, some lace or something to identify her as being Sophie the Magnificent little Pleo that she is you agree?
                                     Great Photo, esp in that pose. ;)   RedwoodsMama   and the NOva Team

Entries have been gathered, and w are working through the judging process . . .   Not that pleos are judgmental, and although I think we are all winners, there are only so many prizes to hand out . . .

Winners should be announced in the next day or two.

As usual, the pictures were compiled without all the surrounding text and posts, and we turned them over to an impartial panel or judges to select the winners (my kids :) ).   The panel included members who do not know the forum members, and in some cases don't even care about pleos :O so their opinions are based solely on content and presentation.  After much deliberation and arguing (not really), the finalists were selected and the winner picked.

And the winner is . . . . 
(drum roll please . . . )


A friend is someone to . . .  share a picnic with,
because the simple things are always the best.


The finalists included (in no particular order):

RWMDegersRWMIMRFancyfont/Gucci_boi
A friend is forever, no matter what shape they are in.

There was also a whole pile of runners-up that I may be stealing ideas from ;)  You all did a wonderful job, and it really was hard to narrow the field.  But stay tuned to the Bob the Pleo comic strips for a chance to see those finalists and runners-up in print! :D

Congrats to all the finalists - all the entries were fabulous - I don't envy the judges their task to narrow down to the winner.
