(bump)
I originally made this post back around the time of the first "Rookie, Virgin, Amateur FNG Throwdown". I made it because the whole idea to have the Throwdown was based on some PM's I had received and some posts that were made. Everything I said in the opening post holds true today, and is how I would like to see the Throwdowns operate, and I believe the vast majority of members would like to see it operate. Since making this post I have even more people to thank for improving my photo skills, along with others. The first to come to mind is caseydog, heck, he even doctored up a couple of photos out of sheer kindness even though we were competing against each other in the same Throwdown! That's the kind of friendship these things are about, and they are also supposed to be about fun. This thread is not being bumped for any reason other than the fact that we recently had another "Rookie, Virgin, Amateur, FNG Throwdown" and I figured both new and old members alike should see this again. Please read the opening post carefully and thoughtfully, whether you are a new member in the Throwdowns or not. Let me know your thoughts whether you agree or not. It's very important to have open and honest feedback about the Throwdowns to keep them successful. I appreciate all feedback I receive, both positive and negative, so don't be afraid to be critical if you have some critical thoughts that may help. I always try to keep my emotions in check to never take anything personally. If anyone ever sees me do otherwise, just let me know. Thanks for your time in reading this.

The TD section is the most fun thing about Q-Talk. What's to criticize?

Well, with lots of new members, or older members just joining the Throwdowns, I figured this was a good thing to bump now that the "Rookie, Virgin, Amatuer, FNG" Throwdown is over. It attracted a number of new names to the Throwdowns and based on their first experience they may have some feedback or feelings that this thread can help address. I just want to make sure their parting view of their first Throwdown has at least this perspective.

A new issue that has come up since this post is the "Shortbus" rule. While some Hollywood types would likely be offended by that name, I'm glad you instituted the rule. If someone accidentally screw ups one of the minor rules, I think it is good to still give them the glory of the entry thread. Whether it is worthy of votes or not, that is for the voters to decide. (For the record, I hope they give the Shortbus people only 1 vote!) I don't want anyone to have their feelings hurt because they accidentally failed to follow the rules. I think we're all just her for fun. It gets a little greyer if someone like RonL would submit his recent porkchop cook (he hasn't, just an example), as I suggested, because it was cooked on a gasser and Ron knew full well that that breaks the rules. That is a tough decision and opens a whole can of worms. I'm glad it is you! I guess that is why you make the big bucks and have access to the executive bathroom.

Now if only I could figure out how to get DQ'ed without it looking like I did it on purpose....

Ahhh. My head hurts too much when I think about the rules so I try to.
I didn't realize the no gasser rule was only the "Master's" That makes sense. I didn't like it when I thought it was for all TD's, but it's understandable for the "Master's". Please excuse my lack of effort to memorize the rules and return to your regularly scheduled program...

The only serious problem I have is that Farker Gore doesn't get DQ'ed nearly enough. I think I would also like to see pre-DQs; i.e., a DQ awarded before he even thinks about posting. Other than that, I'd have to agree with Guerry above. I would also like to STRESS what is emphasized in the rules that these things are about fun and I do hope my DQs serve to emphasize this point.

I had that nice streak going that ended a month ago. If it was still going, my answer would be yes, but now I think I'll just have to keep you guessing. Eggs are up there with fish heads and Spam on my list. Not sure how you might interpret that ....

Thanks Guerry, for reminding me about the okra.
I'm really a fussy farker. Amazing I can find anything to eat.

Look Gore... Egg ---> (o) (or nipple?)
Chris, maybe you can set up the throwdown threads to just automatically add a DQ for Gore regardless of whether he enters or not?
