Unsure if it's intentional to be funny, or a copy paste mishap, but on your signup page all three references have the exact same quote. Just thought I'd point that out in case it was an oversight. :)

Think we toasted those now.
For those moments where you feel lonely, THE MAN offers you help ! Enjoying this a lot
Thats amazing, i should put a screen on the backside of my lights :)
Is it only a website? I realize that provides great cross-platform reach, but it also means that Hurleyisms requires Internet access to use. My iPad (the most likely place I'd use it) and my laptop (the second most likely place I'd use it) are both wired or Wifi only, no 3G/4G/LTE etc.
I'd love to see a Hurleyisms _app_ that I can download in the App Store and have it periodically check in with the master database to pick up any updates, but be able to run freely without a need for live access. I'd like to avoid the capex and opex of a Mifi solution if possible.
We are getting it going first. We'll see down the road.
Create a hotspot with your iphone and fire up wifi that way.. I ran a full PPE booth of my iPhone hotspot, not issues (as long as I leave my phone at the booth..)

A great plan if you have good signal on the phone. The hills/trees/mountains of the Seattle Metro can wreak major havoc with signal. I get 0-2 bars of service at home, with an AT&T cell site on top of a water tower 0.8 miles from my house (because we're in the shadow of a hillside). Lots of basement/underground parking garages that offer easy shooting spots for coworkers, but terrible signal inside concrete/rebar. Hotels, conference centers, etc.
I recognize that it's a whole new challenge (easier with lifetime sub, etc.), but to me it goes to the heart of the "take your technician hat off and put your psychologist hat on". If I don't have signal, etc., now my whole "support system" has disappeared on me.
Really nice. You have a pro-user here !
Good stuff, just bought it.. A Question, is it sorted like chain, rope etc? The profanity button, is that when they are a chain?
all of that stuff is dependent on the person and their personality.
you can have them be a chain..completely trusting you and free...but something could still possibly offend them. you have to gauge that when you are talking to them.
This will be a life-saver for me.
I can't count the number of times my brain has gone blank when trying to think of a Hurleyism to say during a shoot.
Going to try it today, amazing stuff! I also like the instruction video on how to use the hurleyisms!
Awesome!!!!
I skipped the RGG party just to get back to my hotel to sign up for Pro!! LOL Not entirely true but ......
I love it! Added it to my phone homescreen so it's now an app :) Any suggestions on where we can get tripod attachment?
I'm sure some DIY'ers will come up with a cheaper solution, but I thought about something like the GorillaPod tripod legs as an option to at least get my wheels turning on a similar idea: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HY4U4Q/?tag=thewire…
Thanks Ian, will check it out.
Tether Tools has one!

Thanks Maurice, will look at it too.
Go tether tools!
Thanks Peter, I've ordered it :)
I can't wait to get on these as this has been my biggest hurdle yet now that I've finally made my technical stuff consistent. Perfect timing!
This is so cool Peter, thank you!
This is a great resource, Peter! And just in time for my marathon shoot :) Thanks a lot!
Took a look into the basic version so far.
I think it's a great idea - and absolutely fine for beeing kind of first aid kit for those moments where we might get blank on brain output or maybe also as skeleton to layaway throughout sessions:-)
Though I must admit that as non native english speaker some of the vocabulary used there was unknown to me (eg deceitful, platypus, discombobulated...) and translating on the fly can get somehow painful from time to time (ok, easy to skip that specific Hurleyism for the moment then)...
All in all: Great work Peter. Thanks!
And in case somewhere in the future something like a localized (German) version will be initiated I'm willing to help in translating and converting.
I will sit down and find some good translations. Then I will write it down and pin it to my lights. ;)
Agree Sandra, I have been creating a Swedish list to pin on my lights of those that can be translated or spawn ideas for similar but in Swedish. my aim is to have 20-30 for the times either my clients don't speak much English (although often they do but just don't get the humour) or for when I need a plan B although my English accent in Swedish is usually enough to get a laugh !
As you say, its another topic to get the humour "translated" :-)
Exactly, telling someone not to look constipated in Swedish would probably get me a slap not a laugh :-)
The only problem is that I'm laughing at these while I'm picking out what to say!
Seth, a tip for you is to watch a bunch of these spin through in your down time, you might not remember them but when you see them again in front of the client your eyes go directly to the ones you already thought were gold and comfortable for you to say.
I have translated quite a few now to Swedish, and when I see the English version come up on screen I immediately remember what to say in Swedish, not needing to translate on the fly, more just a memory jog.
I tried the free version and it was great. But honeslty I thought "I don't have an extra hundred bucks floating around for this tool. Maybe I'll just type out some of my favorites and make my own list." Yah...sounds like the thrifty way out, until you work out the amount of time it would take you to compile your own list and then upload into a format that allows you to quickly scroll/view them.
Time is money...and for the hundred bucks my money goes to Peter and his team who already invested in the Hurleyisms. My time is better spent doing photography sessions that earn me cash rather than trying to MacGuyver up my own version, so this is why I'm investing in the Hurlyisms Pro version today.
I used the free version today, just to see if it would work out for me. It didn't hurt. I don't feel like I really need a lot more stuff for my shtick than I already have, but this just makes it so easy I will probably have to go Pro.
Used it today for a studio shoot with two models...LOVED IT! I still push the button too many times for throwaway shots, but it did exactly what it's supposed to do: got each of the subjects loose and into my control. A friend came along as assistant and to "watch and learn", and he grabbed some BTS shots. Here's a few that show the iPad doing the Hurleyisms thing.
It would be nice to be able to tag or search for certain terms if that hasn't been implemented. I shot the president of Shell Oil yesterday. "Give me a look like the OPEC meeting November 30th went really well." Obviously that type of thing only works in oil and gas.
That one may be a bit too specific, but I want you guys submitting them into the app. I review all of them and will approve them for use.
I'm a bit late to this thread, but Chris's implementation shows stuff like that could be tuned into individual industries. It seems like I am shooting a lot of people that work in big data, so I suppose I need to figure out some great database and server jokes.
When they can't go from a good tiny smile to a good big one: "I guess that look isn't scalable."
When they are giving you crapy looks: "Stop. Stop batch processing it. We need some manual intervention."
these are so funny
I had a thought today -- any chance if and when the Hurleyisms goes to a downloadable app that an Apple Watch app could be done? As a proud and happy new owner of one, I feel like that would be a cool and easy implementation having them on your wrist throughout a shoot.
Also, it appears we need the 'www' in the above link -- without it the link is broken for me.
