Lens Rank Updates - Oh The Agony

Since a number of lensmasters gave a humorous insight into what they did or how it felt to wait for the lens rankings to update every day, I thought I might create a lens about it.

What I am looking for is a short description of what you do or how you feel while you are waiting for the lens rankings to update, and a photo to accompany it.

I am initially thinking to use the Polaroid Module to add the photos, but I might decide to upload the photos to my domain instead.   Just depends on the number of submissions I get and the content.

I am hoping a lot of you will contribute to the lens, and above all I am looking for comical quips quotes and funny photos.   It would be nice if this helped create some good laughs for everyone.   I'm sure we all have digital cameras - if not, you can always use that photo booth in the mall...

So get working on it..............

Re: Lens Rank Updates - Oh The Agony

I keep getting different songs going through my head and I am trying to find the right lyrics to fit in with the theme of waiting for the lensrank to update.

I think this would also fit in well with the lens, so everyone - if you can come up with some catchy song lyrics about waiting for the lensrank to update - email them to me at ohtheagony@poddys.com and we can vote on the most popular.

I'm still waiting for photos by the way - who is going to be brave enough?

Re: Lens Rank Updates - Oh The Agony

Poddys, I've nearly finished a lens about "I Don't Like Wednesdays"

I'll have to get a microphone before I can record a spoof version of the song but I've got most of the lyrics and I'm just putting the lens together. (My microphone broke a couple of months back... unless I can borrow the better half's...)

I'll post here when it's done. ^_^

Re: Lens Rank Updates - Oh The Agony

I just had some awful lyrice come into my head...

Remember that awful song "Startrekking" from a few years back?

Lensranking, it's getting worse and worse
It used to take forever, now it's in reverse


I didn't go any further than that though...
Probably not a bad thing...

Re: Lens Rank Updates - Oh The Agony

I've thought of a really distasteful one to do. I don't know if I have the guts to actually do it though.

Um, on the subject of lensrank, have we had one yet today? I seriously can't tell.
ETA- Nevermind, I see a WIP still in the red zone, so I guess not - duh.

OK, but I'll need to clean my bathroom, find a wine bottle, and steal one of my daughter's lipsticks.

I've been waiting on the update
All the live long day

I've been waiting on the update
Just to see my stats today

Re: Lens Rank Updates - Oh The Agony

Oh gawd smile   You guys are too much - I'm practically ROTFLMAO...

Well the concept of the lens is great I think, so far nothing has been created, hopefully tonight though.   And to make it great I need those photos and song lyrics - or anything else you can think of.   Above all though I think photos go down well.

I am hoping that there are a lot of great contributions and that it might make LOTD.  Praise and promotions on all who contribute to it, as I will be adding featured lensmasters for the contributors.

It's no good sitting alone in your room
Wasting the day away
You could have created a whole new lens
Because the lensrank ain't changed all day
(to the tune of Cabaret)
