Idea for new contest

Who has the best farmers tan! LOL!

Count me in!LOL

Carrigan, dumb question here. Please define the competition a bit for me please. Is this for calves (the human type) versus feet or lower arm compared to upper arm?

My feet look like they belong on an albino! LOL

Dignbloom, if feet/calves are included you may just get some serious competition from us here! I'm just wondering how I can ask my fiance to pose his foot pretty! lol

Okay lol!!! contest rules dictate one thing only...in order to qualify you must have some seriously tanned parts and some seriously untanned parts which have left the impression of clothes being worn...i.e. when you take off your shoes and socks you still look like you're wearing socks, or you have a hat line across the top of your forehead, or when you strip down it looks like you are still wearing a shirt and shorts! All body parts qualify!!!

From the sounds of it I think I might have some serious competition here!

lol - me toooooo

Oh Carrigan... I know what you meant, but maybe you should reword the last line a bit?

I'm in Carrigan' Sis''

Sigh....my legs are always so white they look slightly blue. I don't like shorts and haven't worn them for a long time, even when I did my legs stayed white. I also go an orangey colour rather than a tan so I'm never going to be in the top ten of this one

Lol Baa you never go out long enough these days anyway, all work and pc for you, good to see you again.

Okay, from generations of experience, this is what a farmer's tan REALLY looks like: The back of the neck and ears and a V-shape on the front of the neck/upper chest where the top couple of buttons on the shirt are left open, arms below the short sleeve line, face all but the top inch and a half or so. REAL farmers never wear shorts!! LOL

I'd nominate Stan, my DH of 30 years, he always gets a great farmer's tan, but then, he's a great farmer.

I'd have to nominate my husband too. Kathleen describes him to a tee. Although he will occaisionally wear shorts and my daughter teases him relentlessly. I am another one of those white leggers with freckles. Freckles just pop out a little more and there aren't any freckles "where the sun don't shine".

Kathleen you are absolutely correct....we did bend the rules a little bit....LOL!!!!! Thought I would give the more urbanite posters on the forum a fighting chance! (Including myself)!!! :) Hmmmmmm.....maybe we should judge two categories. Real farmers tans and Faux farmers tans!!!

My feet have the best tan!!

Please be aware that skin cancer is on the rise in this country at alarming rates. Remember the ABCDs of mole inspection: assymetry, border, color, and diameter.

Sansman-- AMEN.

My mother had melanoma, but thankfully, they got it in time. I shudder to think what would have happened if they had not.....

Another cousin's husband is dieing of Melanoma. He probably won't make it to September.

I believe I will like this contest. Don't enter me. I want to be the judge. HERE COMES THE JUDGE, HERE COMES THE JUDGE. HERE COMES THE JUDGE WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE. Jim

LOL Jim...you devil!!!!:o)

I like the... you devil better than dirty old man.LOL

LOL@JIM!!

Well I must have a real farmers tan then. almost all eyar round I have the typical V on the neck and brown face and lower arms. Still look like a big orange though LOL

Alan speak for your self lovey LOL ;)

No Farmers tan here! Just the ghostly white skin of a dyed in the wool, shade huggin, do it after dark kind of gardener!

ZANYSUSANMUSE , Now I was counting on you and the twin that you posted photos last week being in the contest. Those two had enough skin that there would have to be a tan somewhere. Maybe in under a wrinkle or a fold. lol

What happened to CARRIGAN? I'm sitting on pins and needles waiting on her to let me know if I can be the Judge and she disappears. Just my luck. I wonder if this is how Bert Parks used to feel before the Miss America Pagent? I feel a song coming on. There she(he-oh no)is Miss(Mr.I hope not)tan line. My ideal so pretty(he-ugly) and brown. I think I better practice a little more before the big performance. Garrigan I can do it!! Give me a chance!!!! Please!!!!!! I can sing and I can dance. I'll tell some funny jokes. Just give me a chance. Jim

CARRIGAN I'll furnish the flowers to the winner

Garrigan PLEASE

CARRIGAN PRETTY PLESE WITH SUGAR. ok

CARRIGAN-CANCEL !!!!!!!!!
My wife said no way not even blindfolded. I told her you really wanted me to be the Judge. She didn't believe me. Just ruined my day. LOL

Sorry Jim but the Twin and I both manage to stay out of contests that involve any kind of Tan! Last time I tanned was uhmmmm a few years and about 100 lbs ago! Stay off the beaches cause they kept getting reports of beached whales whenever I showed up on the sand! But I do have a beautiful smile...no teeth to get in the way!

Is Georgiaredclay alias the man with the big rock in hand hiding from us now or what....OHHHHHHH JIMMMMM....WHEEERREE AREEE YOUUUUU??????? What happened to our judge? Do you think he is out in the garden chasing snakes again? Jim you have some serious judging duties to attend to...no slaking! LOL

I am ready. Send those photos on in. Now no tricks. I want to be as fair as possible. I will let Waldo help out. I'll show him a photo, if he smiles it's a keeper. If he gets mad and starts chasing me around the yard it's sorry maybe next contest. If he catches me it's no contest. If my wife catches me it's blood, guts and tears. If Waldo's wife catches him he can move in with the winner of the contest. Jim
PS Zany, Waldo says he likes twins. He said the biggset smile he ever had----maybe I better not tell all of Waldos stories.

I been sitting here with Waldo just waiting on those photos. Waldo is getting impatient, He said we had been waiting 30 minutes and he couldn't wait much longer. Not the first photo. Jim and Waldo.
Hey this character is getting bigger than life. Jim

I have a nice white stripe across the back of my neck from my ever present apron, could this count???

The queen of pasty whiteness here, so I guess I'll bow out. Actually, my forearms and hands are nice and tan on top, but that's it. :o) Kimberley

gardenwife-
Just your arms and hands? Isn't that a "mom" tan - y'know, from hanging out the laundry and weeding the garden and chasing around kids and dogs...

I have a great drivers tan with a white rectangle smack down the center where I wore bandage over my stitches on my left arm, I cann't wait to see how the left ankle turns out. I used to be quite vain about my tan , I didn't have to be dark just nice and even. My baby sister wants to know why I only have freckles on my shoulders and not my face like her(funny thing is I didn't have any freckles when I was her age ,21) I've had it, I'm hitting the tanning beds 10 visits in 30 days will do it. I haven't been to the tanning beds in 5 years, I looked great in my white wedding gown and didn't get a burn on my honeymoon in San Juan. I don't mind the dirt under my nails, or the axle grease on my cuticles (it stains) but I think I'll get a manicure too. What the heck I will do this as a reward to myself for quiting smoking!!! :~)
