    LOL!!
    I'm glad everyone has got a kick out of the pic. :laugh: :TU:

    Whoudathunk a 5 minute hack job would create such a ruckus? :gt:

    For those that asked about "how" :
    Paint Shop Pro v7.0 - It was about $100, 2 years ago. Not sure what the current version would cost. Pretty simple, yet powerful, image editing software once you get the hang of it.

    I'm sure any image software could be used to do the same thing.
    Adobe Photoshop is probably more popular?

    Dana... thanks, but the image is way too small and hacked up to look good on a clock. It seriously took only about 5 minutes, and was done very sloppily. (Slopily? Sloppy-like?) :gt:
    Besides, I used an image of the TA wagon without permission. I would NEVER do that for anything I would try to sell. I was just inspired to "make a funny" :pp

    hahah.. that's freakin hilarious! and this thread is awesome, especially b/c that craftsman mower Dan posted is the exact same i used to mow/rip around the yard back in PA.. many fond memories of that old brute.

    i vote we should have little photoshop contests like they do on fark.com. i think that's a great idea :TU:
