etc. etc.
etc. …
These are photos, screenshots, and
other visual things that I thought were funny, cool, interesting, … you name it
… just stuff that I’ve found on the Internet over the years … You’re welcome to
e-mail me (phish e-mail) with your
comments, but I probably won’t get back to you; and, if you disagree with any
supposed “messages” of these images, I don’t care and don’t care to hear about
it … they’re are just miscellaneous “seashells” I’ve found whilst
“beach-combing” on the Net. That is to say, not all of them are pretty, but
they are interesting, somewhat, to me) … Maybe someday, I’ll devote the time to
organize this queue better, but not anytime soon … Sorry … it’s just an archive
… Oh, and there are no “return links” in each of these, either, so just use the

- Some
funny movie shots:
- Way
before the Microsoft Windows® “Blue
Screen Of Death” (this
screenshot from the Beijing Summer Olympics 2008), there was the
Commodore Amiga® “Guru
Meditation”. Just as in Windows®, the appearance of this ominous
screen meant that all hope has been lost and it’s time to go find
something inanimate to beat … like your computer …
- This real
estate advert depicts an affordable house furnished with appliances.
But look at the state of the clothes dryer; duct tape is the “sell point”!
- A
photo from a football (soccer) match. I’m thinking that this is not the
textbook way of doing a headshot.
- And
there’s this shot from a
baseball game. That had to hurt! Don’t forget to look at everyone,
especially the guy in back.
- Okay,
here’s a thread from a web forum about digital photo manipulation. The guy
asked his friends (so-called) to fix up an old photo of he and his father
for a birthday present. What
he got was way too hilarious … watch out, though, there’s a bit of
naughty language and imagery …
- The MacGyver
Multi-Tool.
- Only
in El Paso: I got this photo from a friend of mine of a man sitting in the
trunk of a car, guiding a dolly behind it with a refrigerator while his
(girl)friend is driving. ¡Esta como te
mueve en el barrio, vato! Been there, done that!
- The
Star Wars movies have spawned an amazing amount of parody by a lot of
chronically-talented individuals. Here’s a taste of what I’ve come across.
A stormtrooper, back in the hotel room, after
“the incident at Mos Eisley”.
Another stormtrooper, after
the “Battle of Yavin”. A stormtrooper parody including
Lego® characters. And, a drama plays out between
an AT-AT and an AT-ST. Plus, we
can’t ignore this great poster, emulating the art style of the late and
very great Patrick Nagel, Princess
Leia. A few others: The Death
Star goes disco.
Yoda’s motto.
Yo yo yo give it up for da’ emcee!
The rock tour T-shirt
every Star Wars fan needs. Here’s a rare
action figure. A scene from Psycho,
co-starring our favorite character. And my favorite scene from the Muppets
in Manhattan! Meanwhile,
here’s the scam.
- Stop
using that
word! I do not think it means what you think it means!
- Star Trek
is also a great magnet for humor. What color uniform do you need to wear
on an away-mission?
Here’s a freeze-frame from Star Trek
2: Wrath of <insert name here>. Here is the Transporter
Rules (beware the f-bomb). We all knew William
Shatner could get a little carried away, sometimes.
- Internet
High-Five; yes, you have to do it
…
- A
friend of mine took this picture of a man being
held at gunpoint by the police. Strange things are afoot at the Circle
K …
- Remember
that shaky black-and-white Bigfoot footage that caused such a stir? Some
talented person stabilized it into this
GIF movie. Too cool, but that’s totally just some guy in a fur suit!
- Wha…?
You didn’t know we fought the war
with Rock-Scissors-Paper?
- Okay,
I’m sorry, but this just cracked me up. Here’s George
W. Bush trying to catch a fairie …
- So someone
ordered a pizza online, and they
followed the directions implicitly!
- Alien
versus Predator the final showdown!
- George
W. Bush tries to figure out what’s wrong.
- A flame
war between siblings causes the Queen to have to step in…
- Epic wedding
cake! Epic fetch!
Epic fail!
Epic cat
fail! Epic English
fail! Epic hero!
Epic cruelty!
Epic healer!
- Do not
leave your children
unattended here…
- Hold very,
very still…
- Is
your Time Machine working yet? Make sure to print this
document and keep it with you.
- Okay,
we’ve all done some pretty
wild stuff as kids, but this takes the cake!
- Here’s
the simplified version of The
Eisenhower Interstate System.
- Yo yo
if you like dawgs and yo-yos, you should see this yo-yo,
dawg!
- Okay,
if you’re a video gamer and liked the Portal game, here’s your faithful Companion
Cube, here’s a stuffed
Companion Cube (for bed time), and here are some encouraging
posters from Aperture Labs. Oh, and some cake.
- Here
is the “Socially
Awkward Penguin”.
- The
most interesting products I’ve ever seen for sale on the Internet:
- Tuscan
Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz – I was surprised that you could, in
fact, order milk over the Internet, but then also that one of the sellers
will hand deliver a gallon of milk to you for $2,500.00 plus $4.49
shipping. I was relieved to see that none of them were selling any “used”
milk.
- We’ve
all see the Three
Wolf Moon T-Shirt at truck stops and souvenir shops everywhere, but
what is really great about this Amazon page is all the great reviews of
how wearing this shirt can transform your life. But wait, there’s more!
Now you can buy this
T-shirt!
- Just
in case you were still keeping your bomb shelter stocked up, here’s some Nuclear
Grade Duct Tape. What makes me laugh is the user-loaded image of the
monster!
- The
video game Limbo
of the Lost is interesting in that it was discovered shortly after
release that the game contains plagiarized visual elements from many
other video games already on the market. It was quickly pulled from the
shelves, but not before one lucky collector got one to sell on Amazon.
- Here’s
a
correction you’d really hate to make.
