No way!

are you feeling lucky?

Inspired by Tophe and a comment he made in a group once upon a time, this one is for those of you who love to waste time searching images on the internet - then get sidetracked by all the seemingly unconnected things you stumble across.
His comment related to this blogger and I have shamelessly lifted the idea from there.

Welcome, then, to the weird and wonderful world of the search engines, where anything can turn up to surprise you. As Google might say, "I'm feeling lucky" - so let's go!

BUT - and here comes the editing:

I have decided to change the premise of the group, if there is such a thing in any of my groups, and rather than have themes - which to be honest never really worked in here, now you can use this group to just post the odd things that you stumble across whilst searching for something to use in a post in another group (such as Visual Connections or the like).
So, for example, if you are searching for an image to post that's connected with "cat" and you stumble upon a picture of a clown with a jar of pickles on his head (I don't know either - but it happens), then post the image in here with a caption of what you were looking for at the time. (But feel free to start a theme as well, since we are all probably looking for things that have the same basic premise if we're working in the VC group ... whatever you wish - I'd just not like to see this group go to waste).

Let's see what you found - it might be amusing....

I've changed the criteria for this group since I hate to see them sitting around and neglected - instead of just themes (which you can still do of course), use this group to post anything weird you find whilst looking for legitimate images - the sort of stuff you really can't understand being linked to what you're looking for. Just post it with a caption of what you found it under (and where, if you wish).
Also - if you haven't already - join the Visual Connections group (see link in blurb above) which is fast becoming as successful as Word Association (see that? 2 plugs in one sentence - I'm goood!)

moo says:

well if you were to read the blurb (above) you'll see there's a link to Visual Connections, but here's a link to WA just for you, you lazy bastard - and you're already in it so you don't really need it, do you?
But - for anyone else reading who isn't...

But now I know! (Just need to see if there are, in fact, any entries on google under that heading) - I suspect it'll say "did you mean english"?
