That’s a pretty kickass project, I’d do it. Please drop us a line when you get a whole pile of pictures - that will be cool. Good luck! ---

I wouldn’t do it; I have one of those jobs where this could come back to cause me trouble. But if you live around a bunch of twentysomethings or teens you shouldn’t have a problem doing this, I would think. Now if you could get some of the older set to participate, that would be interesting viewing. ---

If you approach people so politely, I think you’ll end up with pictures of a lot of polite-looking people flipping you off. Perhaps you should try to provoke them into an attitude that inspires them to flip you off, without your first suggesting it. But that may prove dangerous. ---

every time I see this thread title, I read it as “You’re sitting around mind your own business in a pubic area…” It conjures up a considerably different image than the actual thread topic.
