Disastrous cropping

This has to be one of the best photos I have ever taken of Max. Admittedly, the quality is poor, but it makes me laugh every damn time I see it.

He was only about three months old at the time, but was still able to clearly communicate his displeasure with his parents despite being plugged with his pacifier.




I loved this picture so much that I decided that I needed to have it reproduced in mug form. I eagerly looked forward to sipping a warm beverage as our sweet son gives me the finger.
`
I was bitterly disappointed when my mug arrived:

`
`
They cropped his first obscene gesture right out of the photo!!! Now we just have a mug with a poor quality photo. What's worse is the fact that I am undoubtedly too lazy to bother to re-order.
`
So, I have moved on. I am contemplating redesigning the mast on Max's blog. This way he can flip off friends and family en mass.
`

Max says, "Nuts to you, hippies!"

Damn them cup makers! How dare they crop out Max's finger!

On that same note, I was setting up an online account for one of the bazillion student loans of my husbands. As part of the security they have you select a picture and then write a phrase to be shown with it to prove that your link is secure. Well, the picture I was given was some sort of unidentified food item. So my phrase was "Looks like crap". It was immediately rejected for being "obscene" and I had to make up a new phrase. Bastards!

Potty mouth Shadrick!

Matt and I thought were were being hilarious when we had our online bill pay fill in "Corn Snatch Cream" in the memo field of a check for Mary Kay products.

Still makes me giggle.
