Day 39 of the Daily Steemit Selfie Challenge begins now!
Our registered players are competing against each other in an elimination endurance contest where their selfies must be posted on a daily basis and must meet the theme qualifications.
Not only must they post their qualifying selfies prior to the deadline to avoid elimination, they are also competing against one another for bonus points.
1050 SBD PRIZE POOL?
What in the world just happened? Well, while I was away, someone called @anonymous.donor dropped an additional 500 SBD into my wallet to add to the prize pool for this contest. I was planning on upping it to 550 SBD out of my own pocket for this round, so with the additional 500 SBD we are now up to 1050 SBD!
Thanks @anonymous.donor!
QUICK DRAW BONUS POINT FOR DAY 38
Each day, I will be rewarding one player each day with a "quick draw" bonus point for being the first to reply with a qualifying selfie. Yesterday, the winner was...
@chrismiss
BONUS POINT LEADER
Each day I will notify you of your current Bonus Point Leader. Remember, whoever gets the most by the end of the contest will win 1 Limited Edition STEEM "COMMUNITY" 1 oz Silver Round! Here is your current leader:
@bluelightbandit with 38 total Bonus Points
Even though he is now eliminated, he is still in the lead. We will see who can catch him... if anyone.

THE ELIMINATED
DAY 39 - OPPOSING FORCES
Time to get stuck between a rock and hard place....
The goal of this round is to have people suspend themselves between two objects using opposing forces. Here I am pushing one way with my back and another way with my feet, which supports my body between these two walls. You can pick trees, walls, rocks or whatever you want, but you'll have to support yourself with opposing forces.
If you cannot tell beyond a shadow of a doubt by your selfie, please have someone else take a verification photo, like the last tow that @mama-pepper took for me.
Only attempt this if you CAN do it. One way or another people have to get eliminated. Be safe if you try.
Please remember as well, that the goal is to have all players take a new, qualifying selfie each day to enter into this contest.
Reply to this post with your qualifying selfie by 7:00 pm (CST) tomorrow to avoid elimination. As always, no entry post is required, but you are free to make a post featuring your entry if you want to. By entering this contest you are giving me full permission to use your entries in future posts. Thanks and have fun!
PRIZE POOL
The current prize pool is 1050 SBD, not including Bonus Points. It will continue to grow on a daily basis! That means that the longer you hang in there, the larger it gets!
Thanks @anonymous.donor for the extra 500 SBD!
Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
Too dark, I can't see. Can you retake?
EDIT: Got it now.
Okay, looks like your back is up against the wall.
i finally got it. thanks @papa-pepper
Congrats bro
You did it... congratulations!
Congrats II knew you would get the quick draw one day :)
Thanks bruv. How is yhur dull?
Cheers
It will have to wait a week to be fixed don’t have time this eeek
.
Congrats @ewuoso!
thanks love
Congrats dude, you earned it!
thanks bro. miss yhu though.
I see also dark What is This @ewuoso
water
Oo
Good job! Congrats!
You got it!! Yay!!
Ok we are back from town. I backed the van up where it was before. Better angle this time @papa-pepper. Decided to get my big ol butt ABOVE the license plates so there is no doubt. I may have put a slight dent in the back of @essentialoilmom's van but I don't think she noticed so we are all good. ;)
Unfortunately, I can't have you sitting on a bumper.... Oh, you weren't.. GOOD!
I'm not sitting on the bumper. My butt was off that.
Okay, I'll believe you. I call there 2 quick draws for today, cuz I'm not taking the one away from @ewouso even though you were 24 seconds faster. Can you update the photo though to make sure we can all see a lack of "your butt on the bumper." I'd hate to give people the wrong idea. I'll upvote upon the edit.
@papa-pepper we were heading out for the evening. We're already gone. He said it's ok if you take the quickdraw away from him. He didn't read the rules that it had to be clear. He rushed to do it before we left. He will do a different photo tomorrow. :)
I witnessed the photo. His butt is big, but he wasn't sitting on the bumper. If we weren't in a rush to leave, it would have been a better picture.
Thanks!
LOL!
😂
That SUV is doing a WHEELIE!
This challenge is pretty hard!I got wounded when I tried to climb up higher ... lol
I like it)
thank you.😍
I hope not too seriously! Well done!
Me too! (but not too badly) What we do for Steemit. 😉
yes! go go girl. 😘
If I was still in you guys would've been TOAST. LMAO
LOL
nah
For sure... burnt toast!
Too funny. Your daughter is probably thinking - what is wrong with mommy? hahaha
I think so, she started lifting her leg up the wall to do the same as me 😂
Too cute!!
Whoa.
This was embarrassingly harder for me than it should have been. I'm literally out of breath as I type this. 😲
I tried several spots outside. We have a LOT of HUGE rocks here... but I couldn't get a good shot (I'm alone, but with selfie stick😁).
I almost climbed up a large tree for what LOOKS like the perfect spot, but decided to try something closer to the ground instead.🙃
I found it ! A perfectly straight tree next to the garage. I climbed up about 4 feet (so my head was at the edge of the gutter) and positioned myself... and fell. 😆 I'm not hurt, though my hip feels a little weird. 😏
Did that stop me?
Heck no!
And that is why you finally get this gem.
It was a balmy 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4.44 Celcius) 😜, thus my extra long leg warmers and fingerless mittens. ❄️
Lovely to see it
I’m glad you didn’t hurt yourself! Entertaining post as usual!!😂
Thank you! I'm also pleased there are no injuries in the long term. 😁
What a terrific shot, and the look on your face is priceless! I'm glad you have no serious injury! My back was pressing into the edge of a bathroom counter top, and i was left with a red mark across my back. All is good, though!
That MAY be my normal everyday look. 😏 LOL!
I also tried INSIDE, but started getting discouraged cause EVERYTHING hurt! That's when stopped for the night and decided to find something outside.
The garage was nice and smooth along my back. 😆
And you are a mere youngster compared to me! :-) LOL!
Glad you didn't climb up into the high tree!!!
LOL! I seriously stood below a tree for like 2 minutes contemplating.... Then thought, "I'll come back if I don't find something better". Good that I found something better. 😍
Love the expression on your face, glad you didnt hurt yourself or damage anything like someone apparently did LOL
Me too! I've read about a few mishaps!
This challenge is nuts. 🙃 And I love it!
Ohh yes I love it as well
Be careful pls thnks for awesome pic 😁😁
Under the boardwalk!!
Very nice)
Such a cool idea love it👍👍👍👍
After seeing your wall shot, there was no way I was going to be able to put my feet on the walls. Got a really mean stink eye shot at me when I suggested it!🤨
LOL, welll glad I saved any potential damage in your house ;)
You look so cozy! Our boardwalk posts would be too far apart to catch one like that. Great job!
That is a great place to hang out!!!
Creative!
That takes me back!
Yep, sang the song in my head for hours!!
While it's true the mirror is not big enough to to show my whole ass, it is levitated. Strange as that sounds.
I like it.
I have used the mirror, too)
Got it!
Good idea~
Thank you. Or you could tell from blood vessels popping in my head. Either way.
Good one! The mirror is a nice touch!
LOL!
Priceless.
enjoy bro
New shot for today back against wall and feet against car
Oops the wall was weaker than I thought in the hallway
Guess who is in trouble now
sorry bouh that
It’s ok can easily be fixed
Oh my gosh! What a story!
Lol at least the wall broke and not me 😎
Agreed 100%! I wish I could pop over and help you patch that up, I haven't dont drywall repair since I moved to the tropics. Its all cement block here. Good for this type of selfie though!
Thanks but I will find a friend or tradesman to do it
Yes block Wall would have been good for this
Yes good idea I think I may be 4000 miles away - I just sometimes dream about fixing things. There's plenty to fix around here don't worry about me.
Oh dear! I hope you are a handy man!!
Not for this sort of thing
😢😱Oh No!
I know friends who are though
That helps, I guess! You should have a good blog post from this. Maybe you can get the repair paid for if you play your cards right. :-)
LMAO
😎👍😎
Oh no!
I'm so sorry, but I did feel a little bit of schadenfreude when I saw this... 😏 Darn human nature.
lol I don’t blame you at all
And further out shot to show that is is opposing forces holding me up
I struggle with mirror positioning, so kudos!! Looks great!
Thank you)
Looks great! I love the mirror shot!
Thanks)
You make it look soooo easy.
You're just hanging out there taking your picture in the mirror! That was one way of doing it! :-)
I took some as regular selfies as well. But don't have a selfie stick and it is hard to reach far enough to get your whole self in the picture. this seemed like a better option. And I learned that when we were doing the shoe phone and stand on one leg selfie. It took me forever to get all parts into the pic - then I saw the next day that someone had used a mirrow. Brilliant!! I might be a slow learner - but a few things stick lol
I couldn't find a mirror in the right places, but managed in the end to get a whole body shot, as he has confirmed they are OK!
Brilliant! 1 shot, no hands, I am impressed!
Thank you!!
YES! I'm trying to position a mirror to help...
yes - makes it so much easier. Hanging on the wall is not a big deal - getting the picture is without equipment. I guess a tripod with a timer works.....
I like it!
I agree with others you make this look so easy almost relaxing 😎
Lovely dear.
Steem on! 🐬🐬🐬
#Hug-Challenge
Nice shot! BTW I listened to your video & researched Budwig. Very interesting! Thank you for sharing!!
You are welcome! And if you have any questions I might be able to answer, please, don't hesitate to reach out. my email is [email protected]
Thank you so much!💜
I almost peed...
and then cried (almost) when I read this!
Whoa! I haven't even won (yet...😎 ), but am ever so grateful to folks like that.
So... if you're out there anonymous donor:
Yes, I am here 😉
Oh! Hi! 😍
Thank you so much! This is so generous of you!
Especially, so quickly after joining. I'm guessing you knew of Steemit considerably prior to getting on board. 😉
These contests are my favorite way to interact and build community. Having a larger prize pool definitely makes more people interested in getting involved. Though I love all aspects of Steemit, many speak only of money. So, it's kinda like contests TRICK people into interacting. LOL! Of course, I'll be stoked when I'm a whale 🐋, but as for now, I'm having a great time finding friends and ... well, (obviously) being hilarious. 😆
Thanks again!
You have earned yourself a bunny and a sunflower! 🐇🌻
It's a great day all around!
wow @anonymous.donor what a generous gesture, another legend making steemit more amazing than it already is. @carrieallen loving your bonus point pic hehe very nice my friend. Since @bluelightbandit is gone ;( I peg you for the win x mwah.. Cheer$;)
Love ya, bro! And the @anonymous.donor that dropped the bomb right after my announcement! #sicktomystomach!
Sorry my brother. . You going to enter the next one ?? Cheer$;)
Depends on how I'm feeling to be honest. I would love to but I don't want to start one unless I'm confident that I can finish it. It was my fault that I couldn't finish this one. I worked myself too hard cutting firewood and aggravated my Multiple Sclerocis flares and it put me down for a few days. It was my own fault, I should have not worked so hard. We will see what next season holds. Thanks for checking in on me. I've been keeping up with your blogs and photographs, you're doing great!
Incredible - thanks!
Thank you so much @anonymous.donor! This surprise has made this game even more fun!! This platform really has an amazing community spirit!
Thank you for your generosity @anonymous.donor
Awesome gesture, so generous! - thank you @anonymous.donor!!
Thank you once again for another wonderful donation! You are blessing people my friend!
In case you are still here: The Church of Piglet will be throttling down and stop fighting abuse by flagging.
As we can preach on a shoestring budget if we want to, we wondered if you would appreciate our paying back your kind donation, so you can put it to good use elsewhere.
For now, we have delegated the bulk of it to @steemflagrewards.
AHHHHHH PAPA PEPPER THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!
I'm surprised more famous people don't take selfies like this.
Lol! OMG. I seriously just laughed out loud! 😆
Well, with all the famous narcissists constantly taking photos of themselves for instagram and whatnot, I just thought they'd get a little more creative.
There is something to this - A world wide selfie contest!!!!
Oh wait - papa-pepper already invented that....
And I think I'm going to have to invest in a selfie stick now! LOL!
Can you believe we have one but the button only makes the camera zoom in, it never takes a picture!
Oh wow, massive prize pool, can easily overtake the all time high prize of steem-pocalypse! great job with the wonderful contests you host @papa-pepper...
If I remember correctly, that one was within 50 SBD of this.
Yes @papa-pepper, 1100 SBD in STEEM-POCALYPSE season 4 :)
Wow! That was a good prize too!
And that was when the price of Steem was alot higher than it is now!
Updated image! Back firmly jammed against counter top and feet pushing against door. Phew! Definitely beetween a rock and a hard place!I have a red ridge across my back to prove it. LOL!
I was quick this time. Almost made it! I'll replace the shot later though. It has a green cast from the walls. Lol! And that was an extremely tough one to do at my age!
I wasn't sure if you'd even try this one! However, it'd be awesome if you won this thing! 75% of over 1000 SBD is pretty huge!
who will get the remaining 25%
I believe 25% goes to second place
Yes all those eliminated in the final round that leaves the winner.
Exactly so could be multiple people
Oh, that would be such a blessing! Is the verification pic an extra pic? Or can it be one hands free shot?
AWESOME!!!!!
You are awesome! :-)
Nice moves, let's just get some of that face in there. I'm impressed, but BE CAREFUL!
Will replace it when my husband is around to take that verification picture.
Thanks!
I'm trying to make all my selfies actual selfies. Would I have to add a second verification pic? I don't want to be disqualified for submitting 2 shots!
Two shots are okay on this one, I just wanted to make sure your head is in the shot. I have no doubts that you did it. That much I can see.
At this angle, my arm is not long enough. Lol!
It was an awkward angle to do in a hurry and had to use my left hand. 😂
Well done and so quick
Glad we have till 7 CST to redo this, because I have to drive to Orlando Airport and back in the morning - 3 hours each way!
Ouch that’s going to be a busy day good luck
Back and reposted! It was an early morning ride. Had to leave at 6am.
Yes I saw it your new one is fantastic
Awesome you got it spot on :)
On the first attempt my feet were hidden behind the door, so I re-shot it with my feet pressing against the door!
I
You look fantastic! Well done!
Thanks! My husband always says I'm like the Energizer Bunny. I keep going and going. LOL!
Ah! I see your updated pic now! I bet that DID hurt your back! I tried something similar, but couldn't muster a smile through the pain!
In a funny way, the pressure kind of massaged my back too, but I couldn't hold it for too long!
After re-reading the instructions I updated the photo to make sure I am not eliminated. Selfie plus verification photo.
You're good, it was always fine!
Thanks @papa-pepper
So hands free is ok for this one?
You guys are lucky i wasn't in for the contest but not withstanding. I wish you guys all the best.
Best regards @papa-pepper for keeping steemit community fun filled and growing.
can i edit and take a new one
YOu can if you want to.

OMG! What a prize pool, just my luck!

Cool, I wish I had gone out looking for trees lOL
The trees are a nice touch!
Yes
Cool!
Sunday is our special day - see you all tomorrow night!
Seeing you up there so at ease makes me feel old lol
Enjoy your Sunday quiet time
Thank you! We did enjoy it very much 😃
Your welcome and glad you did
If I may ask, Sunday is your special day in what way? Like y'all's anniversary?
Nothing so specific this sunday!
We try on Sundays to escape into nature - enjoy the creation, disconnect from tech and reconnect with the most important relationships. Although it seems I still sneak in a few comments in the morning 😉
You make it look so easy. Just hanging out there. LOL!
Its not that easy to get up, but once your there...😁
That looks awkward, but you did it!
Cool)
Well done! Looks good!
Awesome so relaxed up there
Me taking a picture of me with my grandson below me
AND
My daughter-in-law took a picture of me taking a picture of me with my grandson below me.
Yes, it's almost impossible to show the whole thing with an actual selfie. I thought it was just because my arms are not long enough, but most are having the same problem.
Cute
Stuck between a rock and a hard place, I needed a little help with a match. Unfortunately, my assistant did not heed my warning to “STEP BACK” and hairs were singed! I will make a post with a GIF tomorrow... its not pretty!
Thanks @anonymous.donor this ones for you!
Here is my post with a GIF:
https://steemit.com/photography/@otage/papa-pepper-selfie-challenge-day-39-gif-20171119t13541454z
Were you about to blast off here? LOL! We need you in the next round!
Yup but I pointed it in the wrong direction... rocket force made this harder!
I hope your assistant is ok! Did you have some aloe vera handy?
Yes A-okay just a few flyaway hairs got singed. No skin was harmed in the making of this photo... thanks!
That's good to know! So far we have had singed hairs and a busted wall with this day's challenge. LOL!
Yes its a toughy!
You always step up and above the challenge to get such cool shots glad it was only singed hairs
Thank you! Your dedication and creativity is raising the bar... as evidenced by a hole in the wall!
LOL yeah that one didnt go as planned, I think my little sheep needs to diet
Nice posture!
One picture says a thousand words you have my upvote on all your Meme thank you for sharing
Sick and still did it.
photo upload
Cutoff - I am at a play, I'm guessing 15 - 20 minutes. Thanks.
What play was it?
Congratulations @papa-pepper!
