Now for something completely different

January 14, 2013 - Programming

I haven’t been posting nearly as often as I’d like because I can’t really think of anything to blog about, and those programming-related things I did have ideas for didn’t pan out very well as far as a creating a post was concerned.

So, instead, I shall devote this particular entry to, as the title implies, something entirely different.

Today, I will be showing random stock photos and giving them appropriate captions. Let’s get started.

Here we see a Woman running away from a terrible photoshop lens flare. I would run too.

boxworld

Here we see a man playing the Q-Bert of the future. Q#$%! indeed.

 

guyruinstheoriginaXPwallpaper

This is clearly the photobombed Original wallpaper for Windows XP that had to be replaced. “Damn it Thomas this is supposed to be a landscape shot”

 

mountain

“Huff… Puff… Aww seriously guys? we’ve been climbing for 5 hours to see this? I could have made you a terrible Photoshop flare effect at home!”

 

oldman

This old man smiles as he spends time with his family. What makes this scene strange of course is that he never had kids, so who the hell are these people?

 

randomwoman

This attempt to take a photo of a blue wall is ruined by an attention seeking woman trying to look suave. “Get out of the shot lady, I need this photo for Blue Walls Monthly magazine”

 

somesenior

Thanks for the physical, Doctor, but I just came inside for directions to the nearest Country Kitchen Buffet”

This particular image wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for those attention seeking hands. Jerks.

 

stock-photo-happy-family-having-fun-outdoors-33056605

Unlike me, these people apparently have no problem seeing the fun and excitement of standing around an open field. Except perhaps the boy who is trying to fly away, probably to find something more interesting.

 

touchscreenthing

This poor fellow has confused a miniature etch-a-sketch for a touchscreen device. Turn the knobs, you fool!

 

watchagameofemptyfield

This crowd is waiting for the game of “watch an empty field” to start. Strangely nobody seems to mind since they still sell beer and hot dogs.

businessrace

In order to select who will be laid off this quarter, we will be holding 100m races. GO.

As four business people seek to make a logo, some homeless guy saunters over to try to see what they are looking at.

 

stock-photo-yellow-lighted-arded-crowd-at-a-live-concert-of-a-famous-rockband-80503267

Here we see that one fan is a bit too excited about balloons.

 

stock-photo-tiny-people-holding-a-balloon-94869892

“In order to escape this dimension of endless white nothing, I’ve created this balloon”
“How does it get us out of the dimension”
“Well, it doesn’t, but it get’s me the hell away from you three before you start eating each other”

 

stock-photo-mature-male-leader-with-multi-ethnic-business-team-working-together-in-board-room-81310504

“OK, so the plan is that we’ll move forward with announcement to… Dammit Jing stop making sexually charged glances Nagesh! And Nagesh, stop responding to them with a sheepish indifference! Now where was I?”

 

stock-photo-man-working-outdoors-with-laptop-106729343

I’d be talking to my provider if I needed to do this to get a signal, but I applaud this mans determination.

 

stock-photo-lost-man-in-a-boat-53351443

The realization is finally dawning on this man that they aren’t coming back for him.

 

stock-photo-father-and-son-walking-in-the-sunlight-68627683

“What’s that Grandpa”
“Just a crappy Photoshop effect”
“is that why we’re both silhouettes?
“Probably”

 

stock-photo-cloud-computing-concept-hands-holding-computer-laptop-smart-phone-tablet-and-touch-pad-101358808

“Holy crap a cloud, I GOTTA GET A PICTURE OF THIS!”
Also for what it’s worth, I see a turtle with an incontinence problem.

“I’ve spent 40 years as a reference librarian organizing material according to the dewey-decimal system. Your Duck-Tales jokes weren’t funny when they started and they aren’t funny now. If I hear another person ask where the “Duey or Louie” systems are I swear I’m not going to help them at all”

 

stock-photo-chef-of-the-future-94006849

This chef is about to show us how to make some tasty toasted Wooden coasters.

 

stock-photo-businesspeople-crossing-the-finish-line-12869773

This is the same as the other photo of a race, but at the end. Here we see the woman on the far left has decided to start stripping in preparation for a career change in case the black guys wild running manages to cause him to beat her. On the far right we see a Woman making rather forward advances toward the other guy, who has mostly likely spent half the race explaining why this is neither the time nor the place.

Will the real Q-Bert Please stand up?

 

stock-photo-businessman-with-finger-touching-screen-of-a-digital-tablet-whilst-sitting-on-a-sofa-93892240

Much to this man’s confusion, touch-screens don’t work when they are off.

 

stock-photo-businessman-about-to-slip-and-fall-on-a-banana-skin-56991727

Watch out for the Banana peel, you fool! It makes you spin around several times, judging from my experience with Super Mario Kart.

“And here we are, Dear- Where all the worlds most terrible len’s flares come to die”

 

stock-photo-athletic-woman-jumping-on-a-green-meadow-21269386

Yet another prospective Windows XP wallpaper ruined by some crazy Caucasian woman trying to celebrate Chinese new year.

 

fallingsky

This senior couple have decided to live a little by opening the emergency exit of a plane at 30 thousand feet. In the background we see the plane exploding for no reason.

 

 

Well that was fun. Hope you enjoyed those.
