The Result of the Photo Game
And now the time has come to see the end,
To this small amusement answer I’ll amend.
Tis not the first that will be correct of them,
For that is Shakespeare the rival of Ben.
Tis not the sixth, I do maintain to you,
He’s Jim the church’s custodian, that’s who.
Nor ‘twas it five, though Kevin tried quite hard,
He was from Google unknown to this bard.
(And had he been the hidden face of mine,
Less likely this amusement kept I on Valentine.)
No guesséd number two which is too bad,
A friend of mine is he for which I’m glad.
But two remain, for I am almost done,
Which surely good is for one unlike Donne.
Would that I would be the number four,
For Senator (state) would be on my door.
But last, ‘tis I, it’s number three for me,
A shot so bad – alas! – that’s what you see.
Now when Aurora’s fingers climb the sky,
And day again bids night a clear “good bye,”
A better picture shall I post on here,
Though still best suited for radio careers.
Flip’s the one, the only one who guess’d it,
So she crowned winner has thus won this bit.

D’oh! That was the second choice I was deciding between.
Thanks for sharing!

Yippeeeeeee
And such a nice poem!
Re: The Result of the Photo Game
Wow. It’s nice to finally put a face on Tim.
Re: The Result of the Photo Game
That was my third guess. Congrats Flip.
Re: The Result of the Photo Game
I didn’t want to play at all. Still, I hope it sounds honest when I say that would have been my answer. While I really do like to laugh at my own face, and enjoy looking goofy in front of the camera, I’m never sure others share that sentiment. I’m glad to see Tim can admit that’s not a flattering shot.
Re: The Result of the Photo Game
Flip: Thanks!
David: Yes, 11 years after I first sent an internet e-mail (exiting the world of Prodigy) and 10 years after I started using the web seriously, I have finally posted my face.
Christopher: Hey, you know what they say about the third try…
Ed: Too bad you didn’t play.
I’m not surprised you guessed it, in fact, I’m rather surprised more didn’t. I too enjoy looking goofy in front of the camera, although I hardly ever like the result.
Re: The Result of the Photo Game
I was actually cheating a little, because I was guessing for the one that was called “picture1.jpg”, figuring that that would be the one you started with. But you’re too clever for me.
Re: The Result of the Photo Game
I figured someone would try to pull a meaning from the file names. I intentionally made the shot of me #2, but then I thought maybe even that wasn’t tricky enough, so I shuffled ‘em around.
Re: The Result of the Photo Game
The thing is, I would have gone for the correct one if only I hadn’t tried to be clever.
Just goes to show.

Oh, well, Ciaran; you can always get your asisaid points by solving one of the pending Challenge questions…
