Contest: Blogger Image Macro
After discussing image macros on twitter today, a few of us started one.
It started with a free image, via healing dream.
Soon, we had this on our hands:
You see what we’re going for here?
Wanna play?
I’m going to offer up a prize. I haven’t decided what it will be yet. (I still owe people prizes from the last “contest.”) You might even get to choose.
But here is what you do:
1. Download the image. It is a stock image via healingdream, as credited above. (If you want to submit with a different photo…go for it. But be sure you’ve got the rights to it or I can’t share it with the world! 
)
2. Add text. I used ROFLBOT.
3. Come up with your image macro text.
4. Post it here. Or on twitter. Or email it to me at theangryrunner at gmail.com. Just get it to me. And make sure I see it! (If I don’t follow you on twitter TELL ME. I am too lazy to go through my pending follow list and may not have seen your request!)
The winner – and I don’t know how it will be determined or what you will get – will get a prize.
You know what to do, guys.
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS ALL IN GOOD FUN, OK?
You can totally make fun of me. I might reward you for it if you do a good job.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Word. I feel BLESSED, BLESSED I TELL YOU! to have been a part of this when it was but a wee seed germinating on twitter.
THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT YOU
So wrong, but so horribly right.
What can I say, I’m a sucker for forced image macros.
I’m not going to enter this contest because the blog gods have blessed me with so much giveaway loot in the past few months, but … Oh man. Images 2 and 5! I am dying in my cubicle right now.
You can strap on your one shouldered bra and start writing!
Whut. I did not realize my new sports bra gives me writing powers. This blog teaches me so much!
The one armed sports bra is magical.
Fuck, I have to think of something amazing I didn’t already put on twitter.
I have faith in you….
Won’t lie, I saw the one that said something like “Bought $1200 DSLR Camera, uses it to take pics of iced coffee” and almost peed my pants.
Probably because I need to pee from too much coffee…
Oh man, there is no hope for me getting anymore work done today.
Just made number 6 my desktop background.
Along with hardcore marathoner- add – “Tweets updates every mile during 26.2.”
Amazing. Love this… PS, follow me on twitter. I swear I’m cool and I equally love to make fun of stuff like this : )
And…you are followed.
I’m an asshole. How was I not following you? Accept me so I can follow you!
PS. Christian Bale is the love of my life.
I’m looking for your request right now, once it comes through I’ll accept it…
ACCEPTED

this is awesome.
Oh my gahh. I don’t know if I’m creative enough to outdo these, but I’ll be damned if I don’t try.
Because I’m a narcissist and require the approval and praise of all your readers:

#3 was on my list, but I had food instead of iced coffee.
lol…this is so wonderfully spot on.
LOVE it!
Alright, I got 2-

I’m sitting in a Starbucks and just finished a “salad” (that cost $7.99 per pound) that I brought her from Whole Foods. But I promise that I am not One Of Them. I only get the cheapest coffee, not foofy drinks, and if you want lunch in this part of Boulder, Whole Paycheck’s about your only option.
I think the second to last is my favorite. I don’t know why I feel like I’m not allowed to say it, but I think CamelBaks are RIDIC! There is ALWAYS a race table or a water fountain or a Starbucks that will give you free water.
I think it’s the sheer absurdity of the overuse.
Headed for a long trail run? APPROPRIATE.
Running 5 miles around a park? NOT APPROPRIATE.
On the contrary…why even give a sh*t if someone else is wearing a camelbak ? They work, they’re easy to use and then you always have water.
Runners, and maybe angry runners in particular, care way too much about what OTHER people are doing.
Focus on your own running. Leave other people out of it.
I’m going to guess by your gravatar that you are a hipster and therefore protesting a sense of humor. Deep, man. Deep. I respect it, man.

NOT FUN. =(
I take credit! I take credit! I was one of the ones who came up with the Camelbak comment! And I stand behind it!!
Here’s a thought… Why even give a sh*t if someone is making memes about other people’s camelbaks? Focus on your own running. Leave other people’s blogs alone.
PS Camelbaks suck because they’re hard to clean.
I think the Camelbak one was your idea, meaning this fucking hipster should be pointing his rage at you too! ZOMGZ
I love my camelbak. But I do NOT wear it on a 3 miler through my neighborhood. Cunts.
my husband just asked if he should buy a camelback for marathon training (he’s new at this, i’ll give him a break) and i said HOW’D THAT FIRST MARRIAGE WORK OUT FOR YOU kthanks.

I AM DYING
Jesus god. I almost choked to death on the tortilla chips I was shoveling into my mouth when I opened that picture.
Additionally, AR — this post — is gold. You kill me.
<3 I'm glad. Not that you almost choked, but that you find it AWESOME.
We miss you!
Seriously. Come back! Come back!

These really don’t compare to some of the others but at least I tried. Isn’t that half the journey?
Give yourself some credit, these are awesome!
Love all four of these. So spot on.
A HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
hahaha numbers 2 and 3 are GOLD. GOLD I SAY! i judge people SO HARD when they cross the finish lines holding hands.
This is so terrible. And awesome.
ALL IN GOOD FUN!
OMG this is awesome and made me forget that my life is full of suckatude right now. (Yes. That is a word. I made it up.)
Also…can someone make one about losing a bunch of weight and gaining a gay boyfriend/husband? Thanks!
I might have gone a little crazy. All my image macros are here:

Um…you’re awesome.
Great… make fun of people who want to exercise and better their life.
No, gently make light of “healthy living blogs” that really all about me, me, me (and by me I mean THEM).
Yep, we’re all just terrible people over here.
Also, why are Colin and Mike posting from the same IP?
ZOMGZ MYSTERY!!!!
They must be roommates!
I bet they have matching ironic black framed glasses to make them unique and special
If someone thinks their life will be better because they eat oatmeal, wear Lululemon and post pictures of themselves on the internet, they deserve to be made fun of.
zomgz they are just trying to be themselves!!! like these poor college freshman someone mocked! http://www.quickmeme.com/College-Freshman/
hahaha. touche.
Haha reading these was the entertainment of my evening.
Put them on Tumblr: http://lolfeminazi.tumblr.com/post/8757732168/for-angry-runner-3

OMG I AM DYING
This made my week.
These are amazing. I can’t make one because I am looking at these on my phone (and have a baby I may currently be ignoring) but I have to add ideas for someone to use…Got 7.5 hours of sleep, will be zombie all day. Clean eating…just another name for an eating disorder. Thanks for the laughs!
Had to give this a post of it’s own: http://wp.me/p1nsNt-7A
I <3 you
This is awesome. THANK YOU.

wtf is this? How do I get just the picture link to post? I suck at teh internetz =(
Oh whoops…
twitter is dumb like that. BOO.
Someone can use this one:
“OMG, I was diagnosed with a digestive disorder!!”
“I deserve ice cream!”
http://i.imgur.com/uakHA.jpg
I would tell you that you slay (and that jesus I wish your twitter weren’t private; I have a pretty good idea how much entertainment some of those conversations would bring me), but doubt you need or want sycophantic comments. WHEN WILL YOU LEARN TO BLOG CORRECTLY??
I am too lame to make one of these (my internet keeps crapping out and plus it seems like a lot of work for my first day of maternity leave…) but here’s one:
Ran 13.1 on 0 training.
Race sucked because there were sooo many hilllllssss.
Way too lazy to put this on a picture….
Monday To Do List
1. run 3 miles
2. make breakfast
3. “errands” (which includes grocery shopping, a trip to lulumon and the post office)
4. make lunch
5. check email
6. make dinner
7. blog about how busy my day was
You forgot to photograph breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
OMG, you have to do an update post with all of the new ones! Hilarious. And in the meantime, I’ll try to think of something witty involving an inexplicable amount of self-taken photos and people with no nutrition education doling out nutrition advice like there’s no tomorrow.
I may have to stop myself from doing this all morning. Here’s my first EVER LOLPIC!

Truth: I know someone who did the last one during Boston.
hahahahah WIN.
seriously???? just…ew
ONE MORE

Wait- WHAT? More details on Boston lunch eating, please
Someone I know decided to run Boston for charity… without ever having run as much as a 5K in over 7 years. The day of the race finally came, she started, and her progress tracker stopped somewhere in the middle of the course. Her time isn’t even logged in the database because they stopped the clock when she crossed. She posted on Facebook the tidbit about stopping for lunch.
Not in running shape and you want to work towards a marathon? Awesome, you log those miles and work up to it, good for you. But you decide to run BOSTON as your first race in how many years (or ever), stop for lunch, and still consider it a win?! No no no.
So, she she gets donations for charity and can’t even be bothered to actually train/follow through? That is an asshole move.

I don’t even know if that link is going to work. That is how technologically savvy I am.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This may be the best thing of all time. I emailed mine to you because I’m not link savvy.
when I have a stressful day, I come back and read this post.
