The Interesting Image thread! (try to avoid memes)

[Johncarllos]

That first one I'm seriously considering.
I'll try it out.

[ASR]

Glad they could be of use.

For some reason I saved a bunch of these photos because they looked cool a year or two back. They've served no purpose until now.

[Johncarllos]

That first one looks pretty sick on it.
The rest, not so much.

[ASR]

I rather like the third one.

Here are some more:

[Johncarllos]

The fourth one almost works. Good enough to keep on there just because.

[Mikero]

Try... (I just picked random ##### I think is cool, with no awareness of what a Zune is like or how they would display.)

I especially think the third and fourth ones could be dope. I have loads more images I'm thinking would be cool, but I'll have to shrink them down to attach them so I'll that tomorrow whenever I get home (late) just because.

[ASR]

MINE IS COOLER

[Johncarllos]

Mike, that first one is dope.

Vienna 2-13 is my current Zune wallpaper, it's SICK.

[preventerWIND]

Whats more terrifying than snakes on a plane? Whales on stilts of course.

[Johncarllos]

That girl with the flashlight is badass.
She's holding some sort of red stick.

[preventerWIND]

It's a toothbrush.. : |

[ASR]

MUST READ THAT BOOK

[Mikero]

I actually want to.

[ASR]

So do I. I cannot fathom how crazy awesome that book must be.

[Yubi Shines]

Behold.

Hydnora africana in full bloom.


AAAARGGHH


Is anyone else singing the Vagina Dentata song?

I don't know too much about this flower, aside from that it's a root parasite of the Euphorbia caput-medusae. It doesn't seem to harm the host plant much, aside from making it look like a FREAKING TENTACLE BEAST.

Oh, and the flower smells like crap, and is pollinated by dung beetles.


GRRRR

[preventerWIND]

What.. No description this time Yubes? I wanna know more about that thing!

My AIM and Messenger window, I want to get that background huge and in great quality.

[Winged Warrior]

I'm confus.

[ASR]

I made both of these. The Lost spoiler was recent, obviously. The second one was actually from a long time ago, but I still like it and I don't think I ever showed you guys.

Oh, and not an image, but this MIDI is a total mind##### for anyone who's played Banjo Kazooie and seen a Harry Potter movie.

[Johncarllos]

Nice Midi.
Your motivational poster's border is much too thick.

[ASR]

It's so old that I don't care.

[Yubi Shines]

I've edited my post for some explanation about the HORRIBLE FLOWER BEAST. It's not terribly interesting, aside from it looking looks either like a monster or a vagina.

[AlexThePenguin]

Vagina dentata.

[preventerWIND]

om nom nom nom

[ASR]

I still haven't seen Teeth.

[Johncarllos]

Massive lulz i expect.

[The Otaku]

Seeing this comparison, I've noticed that Vin has a much bigger nose than usual.

[ASR]

...Otaku. Shush.

[Johncarllos]

You're ruining the moment for others Otaku.

[Abominator]

Seeing this comparison, I've noticed that Vin has a much bigger nose than usual.

Sometimes you should keep your thoughts inside your brain.

[The Otaku]

You're welcome.

[Mikero]

Oy vey.

So. I was watching an episode of Captain N when I noticed something.

[ASR]

What did you notice?

[preventerWIND]

I thought it would be quite obvious.

Bright red hair
Hair covering one eye
Stupid look on his face

[NovaMan XP]

... man boobage?

[ASR]

I could tell it looked like Sano but that's not exciting enough for me.

[preventerWIND]

But it's Sano! He was featured in a crappy Saturday morning cartoon show! That makes him even more lame! TAUNT! TAUNT I SAY!

[Chron]

That's surprisingly fitting.
Kid Icarus is a terrible game. I'm not sure why they included him, but I'm sure that's the only reason anyone ever bought it.

[Mikero]

I thought it would be quite obvious.

Bright red hair
Hair covering one eye
Stupid look on his face

And the almost nipslip. Very Sanoesque.

Anyhoo..

It was all adding up to a laughter, and the last panel made it all come home. Hahah, nice Mike, I'm saving that.

Now, since we're near the subject of pokemon, I'd like to show this image. Probably the worst pokemon I've seen in my life, hands down. As I quote myself to express my disgust.

"I'd rather lick a dead hookers asshole than raise this piece of #####."

It's so ugly I'm spoiler tagging it.
[spoiler][/spoiler]

[Vinchenz Rock]

I have a bunch of 4Chan images.

But, y'know, we're supposed to avoid memes.

[Abominator]

The human race should avoid the WORD "meme".

UGH.

[Vinchenz Rock]

We're supposed to avoid... fads?

[preventerWIND]

The internet ones, yes.

[ChaosVortex]

O RLY?

[Chron]

Meme? It's a linguistic/philosophical concept.

The usage online is a nasty corruption of the actual term, which simply is the notion of representing speech and ideas as genetic information...
... successful ideas reproduce and spread, unsuccessful ones slowly die out (or quickly).

Viral marketing is based on this concept, creating nastily catchy ideas that hijack or take free rides on established ideas to force their idea information into active use.

As used on the internet, the term "meme" only seems to refer to this highly viral idealogical content, e.g. "I'M IN UR BASE, KILLIN UR MANS", etc.

The word itself is a shortened form of mimeme, Greek for "something imitated", chosen to sound like "gene".

Anyway, you'll not get away from them. It's just cultural data, and every image, ever word spoken, written and typed... they're all memes.

I digress; with the exception of the bottom right, this picture is substantially awesome and totally not viral at all.
mostly

[preventerWIND]

WHERES THE DUCKERY!?

But goddamn she can handle my wrench any day.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Wait, are those humanizations of furry characters?

Except for the last one?

[Yubi Shines]

Oh shi-

[Vinchenz Rock]

That's pretty awesome.
