These are just things I write, okay? Sometimes they're profound insights or funny stories and I'm really proud of them. Other times it's mindless rhetoric that I've since completely changed my mind about and am ashamed of. But most of the time it's just words.

Comedically Neglected Careers

There seem to be plenty of humor sites based on the gaming industry. If there's a video game or programmer/developer/modeler/whatever that more than three people have heard of you can probably go online and find a joke about it, him, or her.

But what about other industries? While gaming is the most prominent business in online humor, some careers have traditionally been featured in classic jokes. Doctors, Lawyers, and Plumbers all have plenty of jokes about themselves. But still, what about the marginalized industries that people take for granted, never giving enough thought to make jokes about them? Where is their humor?

Where, for example, are the photo processing industry humor sites?

In order to help those noble photo processors who work hard to develop your pictures despite their bland, humorless lives, so that maybe they too can chuckle at jokes based on their careers I am proud to present the humble first steps of a fledgling humor page:

pyre's Photo Processing Phunny Page

You know how you get those APS orders with stupid notes written on the page, the kind of thing that shows what a lame newbie the customer is, like "Some may be panoramic" or "Please develop all prints?" Those notes that just make you want to yell "Duh, buddy! That's how it works!" Well an Iowa customer recently set a new record for that kind of thing with her special instruction: "*Some may be Advantix." Hahahahaahahaa!
Lady, I kinda hope they ALL are!

Here's an actual conversation from a local photo-processing plant that would make a great comic strip, if one of you wacky readers wants to start a photo-processing comic!
"That Noritsu 2402 hates me."
"Oh really? You seem like best of friends!" (He was being sarcastic!)
"It's more like we've acknowledged each other as worthy advesaries, like Batman and the Joker, or something."
"It's your arch-nemesis then?"
"Yeah. Sad that my arch-nemesis was manufactured in Japan and it's not MechaGodzilla."

haha! Thanks for reading!
