Wowee, I am mighty glad I don't have to make up stories with those pictures. Rodrigo, you are just cruel!

Tell me about it! I can make three of those fit easily into a story, and a fourth one with a little effort. The last one, though, is difficult.

However, I must admit that I think the pictures for yangnome/Trench are even tougher than mine.

Also, is picture three from that match (Yangnome/Trench's) really from maxfieldjadenfox? It's not her usual style.

Picture three was chosen by me, but no, not painted by me. Good catch!

Ah. Didn't know if it was a personal snapshot or not.

I think that I'm going to have to congratulate you right now. My initially free week has ended up as anything but free and I still have no ideas for a story (work's kicking my ass and I'm already booked with other stuff for tonight). I'm not conceding, but I am preparing you for the possibility that I may not have much to show come tomorrow afternoon.

I wonder if I can create a haiku that incorporates all five pictures?

EDIT: Inspiration just hit...cross your fingers that it produces something suitably challenging.

Crappity Crap Crap. Between work, my dad unexpectedly dropping by, and my wife's birthday being tomorrow, my time is non-existent...

I'm going to try to get SOMETHING up, but yeesh
