Photoshop Contest Goes To The Grammys

Feb. 3, 2010

Contest Time Fixers!

Oh Taylor, I’m not sure what you did to anger some wicked witch, but she has certainly cursed you with horrible awards luck. Sure you might win everything in sight, but the karma bus just keeps running you over regardless. Not to worry though, the Fixer community is here to help. After the jump, we’ve got a close-up of the fate of that airborne Grammy. FYI: Not made of chocolate like I’d hoped…

Friday Friends: Some Lovely Kludges

Nov. 6, 2009

There are times when a kludge is necessary. For example, you’re stuck in the middle of the woods and just tumbled into a ravine and judging from that white bit protruding from your leg, a temporary cast made from a stick and some duct tape will suffice until you either get to help or a bear eats you. Sometimes, a kludge is just easier. Or funnier. But trying to sell your house should not be one of those times. Luckily for us, my friend Sara has a blog to point out that common sense when it comes to real estate is pretty uncommon. Check out these gems:

I’m not entirely sure what the point to this contraption is. Log flume for mice? Sluicing for gold? Hand pump because the indoor plumbing hasn’t worked in twenty odd years?

Nothing says “Vermin Free” home like mosquito netting that’s so well used it must now be sealed shut with clothespins. I’m sure it’s just to give the bedroom that Malarian ambiance everyone is raving about this season.

Realtors aren’t even immune from temporary kludge insanity. Curb appeal not up to par? What prospective buyer could resist the addition of some poorly rendered flowers? Or are those spent .50 caliber bullet casings?

Beyond The Door Contest Winners!

Aug. 17, 2009

Oh man. You guys really like to make a girl feel torn. So many good entries. In the end though I narrowed it down to the “Good”, the “Bad” and the “Made Me Laugh So That Coffee Went Into My Sinuses, Thanks”.

The Good

Mike is an optimist. A glass half full kind of guy. The guy that helps strangers, opens doors in the middle of spooky hallways, and always forwards a funny email. Or at least these are the assumptions I made based on the carnival going on here.

The Good

The Bad
Jonneh C on the other hand, knows what really awaits you on the other side of mysterious doors. Pedobear Mr. Tumnas. He also knows that there are no women on the internet and everyone with a mustache is a child molester. True story.

The Bad

The Made Me Laugh So That Coffee Went Into My Sinuses, Thanks
Akira O has obviously spent too much time on the Internet. So much so that they instantly recognized this door for what it was. Please keep it closed in the future…the troll infestation is getting out of hand.

The Funneh

Congratulations to our winners! If yours didn’t make the front page though, don’t despair. Check back later today or early tomorrow when ALL the entries will be up in a gallery for your viewing pleasure. And trust me, there were A LOT of gems. Thanks to everyone who participated!

Round Two Photoshop Contest…Now With 100% Less Comic Sans

Jul. 17, 2009

After the success of the first Caption Contest, we decided that it must continued if only for the sake of lulz you all gave us (and a few “Wow, that’s like ridiculous good”). So here goes.

Clearly, this building is an innocent casualty of a Power Rangers battle. It has fallen and it can’t get up. Unless YOU fix it. Once again, the email for contest entries is thereifixedit+contest2@gmail.com

After some initial confusion last time about dates and times for deadlines, all contest entries submitted by Monday morning (PST) will be in the running. Winners will receive two(2!) free internets and will be announced sometime Monday afternoon.

So what are you waiting for? Open up that copy of MS-Paint, GIMP or your “liberated” version of Photoshop and help set right the mess caused by unnecessary giant robot violence.

Blarg. I am ded.

Contest Winners!!1!

Jul. 6, 2009

Hope everyone had a great weekend! We here at ThereIFixedIt were hard at work judging submissions when we were sidelined by the fact that booze was readily available. So apologies on taking so long getting “The Winnar Is You!” up.

We had so many good entries that we couldn’t pick just one. Well, we could have but it involved two of us getting into a knife fight while our wrists were duct taped together; so in the spirit of goodwill we instead narrowed it down to the following three. Congratulations guys!
