*The Forum Rules.
Yep, rules. Read 'em. Abide by 'em. Or your sea creature powers may be revoked. Temporarily, or for good.
1. New to the lounge? Get started here. Learn which category to post your note in, and create a forum signature.
2. Spam: just don't do it. Thou also shalt not fill the forums with multiple threads on the same topic or sockpuppet.
3. Thou shalt not flame, harass, denigrate, spam, malign, or otherwise finger-point and name-call at ANYONE. This one's a biggy. This too can get you banned.
4. Squidstaff love interacting with smart front-line people, so they stop by the forums from time to time to hear your ideas and share updates. However, this isn't the place to post bugs or solicit admin action. Please send those requests through our feedback link.
5. The SquidU forum is a place for users to interact, to share ideas and inspiration (and yes, gripes... maybe another lensmaster can help) and have fun with their lenses. Try searching for an answer or visiting The Answer Deck.
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..............
Please email your submissions to ohtheagony@poddys.com

Both giving this a bump and contemplating doing a spoof version of "I Don't Like Mondays"...
We'll see ![]()

Heh, coming from the blogging world, I've learned to measure increases in stats by months, not days.
It takes time to build more traffic and be found!

Looking forward to the spoof lyrics Rock - should be a good addition...
I don't like Wednesdays
My Lensrank does a bender days...

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?

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. ^_^

Cool Rock - sounds like fun ![]()
I will be pleased to feature the lens.
Hey - anything different to make life fun and to get some extra traffic ![]()

Just struggling with the second verse... =/
I've got the first verse, final verse and chorus and the rest of my lens built. Just need that damned second verse! ¬_¬

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...

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 think I have an idea what this lens is going to be like but I'll let you know when I've seen it! ![]()
If it's anything like what I'm thinking, it will be awesome! ![]()

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
Can't you see my dashboard's stale
Servers do your thing
I've been waiting on the update
Cause I have no life to-day

The pic didn't come out well. :-(

Oh gawd
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)

I doubt many other people would appreciate my sense of humor though. Yup, mother of 4, giant squid, kiddo lenses, wine, rollerskates, and drugs in the loo.
