    Ever had the perfect photo-op for posting up on WRUW (or elsewhere), only to be spoiled by a friggin' photo-bomb by a 'manly' thread :mad:?

    This one just happened today :rolleyes::

    Yeah. Nothing like straggly arm hairs to brighten one's day when trying to make neato watch photos.

    I try to toss such photos, but occasionally one gets by me. It's bad to attempt photographing watches on one's arm without wearing his best reading glasses. Things slip by.

    Dang things don't always tuck in so easily, either... I suppose I'd never make it as a 'wrist model'... unless I shave...:eek:

    Personal empathy with the topic notwithstanding, this thread is clearly an antipode to the "useless without photos" maxim. :eek:

    Please don't tempt the moderators :eek:. They do have godly like powers and occasionally, warped senses of humor... :D

    There's certainly a custom avatar message in that post.... I'm just not sure how to properly trim it down to 50 characters or less. :D

    Inspiration might strike in a few seconds, or not at all.

    Yes, I get bothered by hair every time I try to take a wristshot resting my arm on my hairy stomach :eek: And yes, the sixback is there. I just couldn't get it in the photo... :whistling:

    Try to keep it above the waist and below the elbow, or beards. First bloke playing "sneaky nuts" will end up on WUS.

    Mods, what was wrong with 'Arise', besides the obvious (looks a bit like 'Arse')?!?

    Apologize sir but technically it was above my waist. I know it's hard to see... :D

    Probably edited for clarity due to the earlier mentioned mistake.

    Your calling one of our most respected members a "Gold Digger" I find unacceptable. I expect you to be forthcoming with an immediate apology.
