It's the random pictures thread! The only rule is that no three pictures can be connected in any way. Starting off with... Metallica in the old days: James Hetfield, Cliff Burton, Lars Ulrich, and Dave Mustaine. A Turkish phone booth. Earwax is bad. If a poster can find a legitimate connection between one or more of another poster's three pictures, the person who posted the pictures loses five points. All posters start out with 25 points, earning five points for each set of pictures they connect. The last one to reach zero wins! Not all three pictures have to be connected. For example, only two of the above photos are connected in some way; that doesn't matter, because if someone notes the connection, I still give them five points. Have at it, boys! Example of legitimate connection: Donkey posts picture of hat, floppy disk, and zipper. Thomas notes that hat and zipper are both articles of clothing. Example of illegitimate, or bastard, connection: Keenan posts picture of refrigerator, computer, and earring. Sheldon notes that refrigerators and earrings both contain metal, or that refrigerators often have magnets on them, while computers shouldn't be near magnets.

And if pictures aren't showing up, well, that just sucks. These pictures, at least, have shown up each time I've loaded the page. I don't know why others in separate threads haven't, but these do, at least.

ok, i'm not too sure about the rules yet...but I think that since the band guys have ears, the telephone is used by the ear and earwax is OBVIOUSLY in the ear, that they all go together...and the band plays music too...you can HEAR that...i'm Captain Obvious...

LOL!!! No, it works, partly. The link was the phone and the earwax; bands having ears would fall into the "refrigerators and earrings" category (though I hadn't considered them playing music; I suppose that could be considered legitimate as well...). I now have 20 points left. Thomas is now at 30. POST PICTURES, PEOPLE!!!

Okay for captions...but the idea is that there IS no connection! I only provided one intentionally with the first set to demonstrate legitimate connections. I'll add the captions now.

LOL!!! I suppose that works...I'll cede my 5pts for creativity's sake...no more like that, though! And I propose a new rule: No connection-pointing-out posts (I'm sure there's a better term, but I'm too lazy to look for it now) can be put up without a set of pictures; it's not quite fair if you can get points without risking any, the below score being proof of this: Shady: 15 Destruction: 30 DEATH: 30
