+Shop99er Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) So, we’ve been watching the cointests over the last several months, and have participated in a few. We even won a couple!! Anyway, we got to thinking that maybe we should throw one, and see what happens. So, here goes. This is for the last “Shop99er Blue Hawaii 2008” personal coin that I have. The others have all been given or traded away. This is a non-trackable but individually numbered coin. Here’s what you gotta do….. Find and post your most embarrassing picture of yourself from when you were a baby/toddler/kid. The one that gets the biggest laugh from us wins. Adding a snarky caption to the picture can tip the scales. And, when we say embarrassing, that is exactly what we mean. Cute will not cut it. If it makes people go “awwww” instead of “bwaa-ha-ha”, it’s not gonna win. And we mean of YOU. Not your kids, your friend's kids, cousins, grandchildren, or kids from the web. If we suspect that’s what we see, we will call your mother! And just to clarify… “baby/toddler/kid” means just that if you or your ‘other’ has boobs or hairy legs… you or your ‘other’ are out of the “kid” range. Here’s what we mean by funny. These pictures are actually of me and TTUMS as kids. Me TTUMS Decision will be made on April 30 at 11:59 PM EST. Winner will be announced May 1st. Enter as often as you like. *Edited to time stamp when contest ends. Edited April 21, 2008 by Shop99er Quote Link to comment
+Toojin Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Oh wow, this one ought to be Good ! Must go hunting and then find a scanner... Quote Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Well, fortunately I am already a proud owner of a Blue Hawaii so I won't have to post that picture of myself that shows me unmentionables showing thru my shorts again. Whew! CF30 Quote Link to comment
+Butterfly_lady Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I'm so old..... cameras were not invented then Quote Link to comment

Whew! CF30 Ditto for me, I also already own a Blue Hawaii coin so I can sit back and watch and not post pics of me or the misses. But we will be watching this.

+DresselDragons Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) I dug through my pictures, and the one photo that I wanted to use is over my mom's (I hope). I'll be over there this week and will dig though her albums for it. Until then, this one will have to do...it's not that funny, but it gave me a little chuckle. Some things never change...LOL Edited April 21, 2008 by DresselDragons Quote Link to comment
+Shop99er Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Exactly what we're looking for! Quote Link to comment
LoriDarlin Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 LeNore...hehehe i collected those too!! To the shop99er duo....if one has already been lucky enough to trade for one...shall we just watch others embarrass themselves from a distance....or do we still have a chance at gaining a good trader and take the slam to our dignities and post embarrassing photos of ourselves?? lol ps I love the pictures of both of you!!! they did make me laugh!! Quote Link to comment
+Shop99er Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 This cointest is open to everyone whether you already have one or not. Even if you DON'T want one please do post your pictures! We'd love to see them!! Quote Link to comment
+Shop99er Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Probably ought to add.... There is NOT a red star over the wording on the actual coin. So, if that 4 letter word that starts with "S" and ends with "T" offends you... you probably ought to pass up this cointest. Quote Link to comment
CinemaBoxers Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 My mom is digging out a photo of me that I will scan and share tomorrow! I have one of these fantastic coins (One of my VERY VERY favorite coins!) - but, I'll still play along. Quote Link to comment

+GATOULIS Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Ok, I took the O.K. from my sister! I hope this photo counts too, since she is a geocacher too, under my codename! The photo was going to be framed when my parents realised something! The baby jacket my sister was wearing is not properly buttoned!!! Quote Link to comment
+Steinwälzer Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Oh no, I am just back from my parents home where all my kid photographs are in the hands of my mother (she won't give them away...), and now I discover this cointest... No chance for me to participate, my kid photographs are now 200 km away from me... But I can't wait for more pictures from all of you Quote Link to comment
+SeventhSon Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Got these cool shades and great hat from that cache back there. All it cost me was a golf ball and a bent slinky. I'm a big kid now! Quote Link to comment

+fairyhoney Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, may I post a picture of my caching son who visits "other" portions of the forums (as it is I who has the pictures) Quote Link to comment
+Shop99er Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, may I post a picture of my caching son who visits "other" portions of the forums (as it is I who has the pictures) Nope. Has to be YOU. If your son wants to post, and I suspect this is your grown son, then he's going to have to do it himself. Sorry. Quote Link to comment

+Gustav129 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Well, this blows, I was adopted at a late age, and the oldest picture I might be able to scrounge up would be when I was eight. There is a favorite picture of my gf who geocaches with me. Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Well, I'm not entering the contest, but I thought I'd share one of mine. Here's me picking on my little brother the moon when we were younger. I think I was trying to block his sun that day. Dad's friend, NASA, caught us with the camera before I could though. I love the way my Mother Nature fixed my clouds that day, with those cute little curls. Quote Link to comment

I think at 8 years you probably didn't have either! Go ahead and post those pre-pubescent pictures! Quote Link to comment
+coreynjoey Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 It's breaking the rules a bit, but hey, we're rule breakers, and we already have one of these sweet sweet coins, so there! This is Joey and his twin sister Tami. Now and Then....Some things never change. Quote Link to comment
+intolerable Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 My less obscure caption would be: "My mother's lack of keen fashion sense might have something to do with why today I'm intolerable..." or "Help me" Quote Link to comment
