I found this link today to a web site that allows you to create your own "Motivational" posters, like the ones many companies put on their walls to motivate salespeople.

Create Your Own Motivational Posters (click)

Foodies of course, require a bit more than sunset-filled landscapes and nature photos to get them motivated. So I've created a few that I think work a little bit better.

Anyone got any others to share?

Here's a serious WTF image that's ripe for motivationalization, probably something related to cannibalism:

I've just always found the de-motivational posters more inspiring, for some reason...

Thank you Jason for such a fun link! My friend and I once had a joke where we would include a de-motivator in our correspondence... I think this site will come in very handy. :wink:

Jason, you are the man for starting this little game. I can't wait to try it out!

Katie, the mimosa poster may have to go on my wall.

Overheard at the Zabar’s prepared food counter in the 1970’s:

Woman (noticing a large bowl of cut fruit): “How much is the fruit salad?”
Counterman: “Three-ninety-eight a pound.”
Woman (incredulous, and loud): “THREE-NINETY EIGHT A POUND ????”
Counterman: “Who’s going to sit and cut fruit all day, lady… YOU?”

Yes - thank you Jason. This has been a most amusing diversion. I'm working on a couple more.


Katie, the mimosa poster may have to go on my wall.


Sarabeth:

I didn't save it, because I don't actually have a Flickr account, but I might go back and recreate it just to save it so I can order a copy and hang it in my kitchen. :laugh:

Guess I'll play too, although my photographic talents are a good bit short of the rest of yours, judging from what I see here:
