Lately, I’ve been looking at a lot of photoshop jokes. Not the written kind, mind you, but old pictures taken and altered to make them funny. I therefore present to you my first real attempt at using this software. [Steven the Dell Guy v. Jack Ruby.](http://home.attbi.com/~slieberman5/rubyshot.jpg) ---

for more inspiration, check out Photoshop Phridays on [somethingawful.com](http://somethingawful.com). Warning…it’s usually tasteless, but often hi-larious. ---

All I can say is that I find the combination of Steve’s expression and the position of Jim Leavelle’s hand disturbing in this context. 😃 ---

Welcome to the wonderful world of photoshopping, my friend. I too am really amused by it but have only had the time/nerve to bother entering but a precious few Fark photoshop contests. ---

I present to you the dumbest thing I ever did in photoshop: [JoJo’s Summer Vacation](http://www.geocities.com/tuestmort/SummerVac.html) In case you’re wondering JoJo is a really good friend of mine. I also have no idea what he was doing in Afghanistan. ---

Here’s mine (also my first real attempt): [http://www.geocities.com/falomus/star.txt](http://www.geocities.com/falomus/star.txt) Yes, it is an image. It’s probably against board rules to say how I got it to work. ---

Oy, I should probably post a warning: The image may be offensive to some people. While it contains no nudity or violence, it is related to the Sept 11th attacks. Could a mod please merge this with my above post? ---

It’s probably against board rules to say how I got it to work. \*\* Enough suspense. It’s a JPEG file, but when you save the file it has the .txt extension. Simply rename it changing the .txt to .jpg and then open it in your browser. ---

It’s not terribly impressive, but it is an altered vintage ad for Pepsi that I made into a party invite. It was my first experiance with the extraction tool. ---
