Wow! I can’t believe I forgot to post the winner from Wednesday. It was so hard to just choose one. This week’s winner is Rob Charron! Congratulations Rob. Please email me your photo by next Tuesday. Make it as weird (but tasteful) as you want.

Thanks everyone for stopping by!

Hugs!

Well, here’s today’s installment of Wednesday Weirdness. Often imitated, never duplicated. Accept no substitues. Thanks to Brynna James, one of my Romance Roundtable partners in crime, for supplying this picture.

Here’s how it works: Look at the picture… make up a caption and leave it in the comments section. The funniest caption will get the opportunity to post next week’s weird photo which will be available on Romance Roundtable, where I post Wednesday Weirdness every 1st Wednesday of the month. I’ve got a great prize lined up for one lucky commenter next week. Here’s a hint: Music! Please stop by!

PS: Yes, the captcha code is still bonkers. Hit the little refresh button to the top right of the code and it should allow you to type.

Here’s my attempt!
Landscaping???? I call this moonscaping!!

Have a fun and, of course, weird Wednesday!

Brynna!!

Congrats! You get the opportunity to choose next week’s picture.

Thanks to everyone for playing along!

When I came across this book cover, I just couldn’t resist. This book was published around 1925. So here’s how it works… Look at the photo, come up with a caption. Then, post your caption in a comment. I’ll have someone pick the best one. The winner will get the opportunity to supply their own weird photo next week.

NOTE:My captcha thing is still wonky. If you don’t get the box to type the code, hit the refresh button on the upper right hand side. The box should then appear.

Here’s my attempt:

“New era, indeed!”
or
“I can’t quit you!”

Have fun and enjoy your Wednesday!

So I usually find *really* bizarre and weird photos for Wednesday, but I was instantly drawn to this picture for the sheer beauty and of course timing of this photo. I am not a photographer, but I do remember a guy I used to work with who was an avid photographer. When I asked him how he got some of his lightning shots, he said he used a time-lapse camera. It sounded very difficult and time consuming. So here is a new side to Wednesday Weirdness… The weird and beautiful. Enjoy! Feel free to add your captions and comments as usual And if you can make it funny, BONUS! The person with the best caption gets a chance to pick the photo for the next installment of Wednesday Weirdness in two weeks. Sorry, but I’m going to DC next week and decided that I needed to curb my weirdness while in the attendance of agents and editors. I’ll be back in my usual weird form on July 22nd.

Okay! Here’s my attempt (And since I can’t help but be funny):
“No leprechauns were harmed in the taking of this photo.”

NOTE: When leaving your comment, you may need to hit the refresh button to the upper right of the code. Certain browsers and the captcha box do not work well together.

Cheers!

Back on March 27, 2009, I posted a fudge recipe for Chipotle fudge. I scanned the recipe over and over and reGoogled it. The recipe called for 2 oz of unsweeted baking chocolate. Huh? 2 cups of sugar with 2 oz of chocolate? Can you say sugar overload? There was no way in Hades this recipe was correct. Not to mention, your fudge would have the consistency of soup. So I used my prior fudge making experiences to improvize. A lot of the recipes I’ve come across called for 12-16 oz of chocolate, so I deduced the recipe should have been 12 oz, not 2. Guess what? It worked. Here’s a picture of Chipotle fudge, made by yours truly.

Only when you use this pen…

So here’s the drill: leave a caption in the comments. Be as funny, serious, creative as you want. The main goal is to have fun. Today, I’m actually giving out a real prize. One lucky, and completely random, commenter will receive a $10.00 gift card to an online bookstore of their choice. 

NOTE: You may have to refresh the captcha box so it lets you type in the code.  Technology, sheesh!

Here’s my attempt:

“For those smokin’ hot scenes….”

Have fun! I’ll draw the winner Thursday night!

Oh, and check out Romance Roundtable today to check out a weird recipe for Kitty Litter Cake. Great fun for the little ones.

Cheers!
