I Got Millions of Images
I've developed a bad habit thanks to Mister Internet, and that involves quickly capturing every image I find that amuses, intrigues, and excites me (in the non-porn way). Like casually ripping pages out of teen magazines, I've been tossing these images into a folder on my desktop, which is now bursting at the seams with about 2000 random jpegs. And now I'd like to share some with you.
Unfortunately, I don't label where the images come from, but I do know that I frequently hit Big Happy Fun House for found photos, The Percy Trout Hour for cheesecake, and Vintage Ads for, well, you know. And a random word search on Flickr or Google Images can lead to hours of fun.
Also, I don't care much for writing comments above my images, but if you have a good one for any of the following, please toss them in the comments section.
LOL. Now I know how to get LSD into my home.

That map for the Atari 2600 "Raiders of the Lost Ark" game? I wish I had something like that when I was a kid, and playing that game for hours.

The screen with the records on it is COOL.
The LP on the floor, not so much.

Hello,
Why not make some zips & upload them to your server & send us the urls?
Yours gets mine!

I still have that JVC component system in my kitchen. No basketball players though.

Hey I totally have the book that the "Monkey Steals The Peach" ninja pic came from. It's called "Ninja Mind Control" by Ashida Kim...
Unfortunately for my 8th grade self, it only teaches you how to control your OWN mind, not anybody elses. And in the end it doesn't even do that very well.

Wow, I completely forgot about Journey Escape (I can't say the same for Atari's E.T.). Here's a page with more info on the game: http://www.journey-tribute.com/journey/resources/atari2600/

I thought I was the only one who had a random silly picture file! My wife asked me why on earth I would save these pictures, and I can't come up with a good answer. I only found one duplicate in this assortment - the kid eating spaghetti.

I've been doing this for years now - get's addictive.
If you ever want to waste some time, I'm slowly but surely sharing my ever-growing collection here:

Happy hunting!

The problem sounds very familiar, but I think there is not one important image you saved, at least to me. Just delete everything is my advice ! Keep your head clean

Someone should just have a site devoted to Olan Mills portraits, open for everyone to upload these embarassing shots.
