What's your best GIS (Google Image Search) image?

Nothing But Net · 09-27-2003, 03:07 AM

Start with a personal/weird/funny phrase for searching. No fair using unoriginality. Best image gets a lick from the <b>Roman War Dog</b>...

Oh yeah, I forgot. Extra credit if your search terms include your screen name.

Here is what I found for Nothing But Net:

Funny, that's kind of the way I always imagined him. There are many good ones for UT, in fact. Check out the Chicago band for sure.

You imagined him as the green monster in the surf, or the fat bloated guy on the beach?

It looks like that Chicago band has undertoad.com and they are representin' it well. I actually listened to the MP3 they have at IUMA and it's interesting and original.

Well, since my handle is based on the word "spode", which my friends and I coined as a derogatory term for a vacuous moron whilst in junior high (only later to find out that it was in fact the name of a renowned family of china makers), I searched on that. The most interesting thing I found (besides gazillions of photos of awesome porcelain ware) *does* have a picture, but is more meaningful if you actually look at the whole page, http://jubal.westnet.com/hyperdiscordia/spode.html , which I find to be eerily appropriate.

I also discovered that there are crazed backcountry motocross free-for-alls called "Spodefests" in Idaho and Utah, and some trio of female musicians that have something or other to do with the word 'spode'.

Really, though, the most interesting single image I found was the one below, which depicts the Spode family tombs in England.

I'm in. Of 49 pages of thumbnails, the one that blew my skirt up led me to this. Actually the one I liked best was 404.

Third for philly cheesesteak

This is why you don't go to the tourist steaks.

SteveDallas · 09-27-2003, 07:29 PM

"Steve Dallas" and variants return mostly Bloom County-related stuff, which I don't consider that interesting for purposes of this contest.

But "completely useless" brought up this one.

I confess, I didn't read enough of the page to discover a) why the words "completely" and "useless" were involved, and b) what a woman shooting a bow has to do with Novell development.

By searching on Silver Wolf (which is what the apostrophe in 'Wolf expands out to) I find ...

found totally cooler stuff for slang ...

wolf · 09-27-2003, 08:59 PM

But then I found a picture of this dude

xoxoxoBruce · 09-27-2003, 11:35 PM

Damn Wolf, the snake is kind of cool but that next picture is really scary. Maybe you should have put a NSFW tag or even NSFchildren on that one. Is it a halloween costume?

Those are really pathetic. I wonder how many people come to Philly and go home thinking Pats or Genos are what Philly is hooked on.

dropping 187 yields some nice results.

Wow, that is so much better than mine, which yields a bunch of aging Sicilian mobsters and some lady who tap dances.

elSicomoro · 09-29-2003, 07:43 AM

Note to all non-Philadelphians: Pat's may be the most overrated cheesesteak place in town. Fucking horrible...eating your own feces might taste better.

For sycamore, well, the obvious:

For T-money, a photo of Rho shows up, though it is apparently no longer on Rho's website. Other than her, the search just shows a bunch of turds trying to gain fame off my name.
