I don't really want to impose my newfound and astonishingly-accurate method of accrediting authors to the their works, but really simplest way to explain it is by my embracement of two key web applications: tumblr and TinEye. On the ohter hand, if I see an image without any description whatsoever, I get kind of pissed (better fit word: "fueled") and try to see if I can find the origins of the image, within 2 minutes is a bonus.

I've known about both websites for more than a year now, perhaps verging on two, but only in the past six months have I joined the two forces together to find the source and creative intrigue that inspired the creation that I am now beholding. Not enough people state their sources, anywhere really, but of the hundreds of blogs I've come to uncover over the past year, and along with some of the people that I follow on tumblr, flickr, 2photo, deviantart, and dozens of other locales, I can at least rummage around myself and see if I can put the right name to the right picture. It's my goal; and it does help me uncover other great astounding works by the same author, and/or their peers.


If you see how I've adopted the "bracket system", that states where I found the source;

for example:

you say you found this image here, but couldn't find the author. I'd post the image...and just bracket the source
[MCO.]

But if I did happen to find the creator, I'd state right under the image, post its "title", and give a link to the author's webpage, if he/she has one, along with their name.

informative example:
now, I'll move on to giving the picture its due information... if you'd like to follow along, you'll notice here that I have input the image into TinEye, and wouldn't you know it, only 1 source popped up. The key though, is that one source is the most relevant one (not to mention the originating one)... I've gotten good enough now to recognize which sources will aid me in my search for "the one true name", and which ones are just wastes of my time. Still, it's really just a hit-or-miss type of shooting gallery.

Onwards... to properly displaying this image in my newfound method of giving my audience all they could possibly want in terms of context:

Intolerance comes
from the feeling you're special,
forgetting who's "not".

2/2x1+2=3

I read all that.
I need cake....

Eat some cake,
then do more reading...
& enjoy!

You must've read Smith's blog as well.

That's another idea I had, but still don't want to berth it yet: "Food as Art".

What type of cake is your preference?

hgmmmm. legooos!

I wish I had something good to say ...maybe if you ask me a good question.

But I did.

So you did! Parsnips. They're sort of like albino carrots but with a little bite.

No, the last question.

Question:

What makes a good question........

.

If you ask a question and it is a good one, it then becomes a good question. Just like if you have a fence and paint it white, it becomes a white fence.

Jet, the "last question" is now ancient history and I can't go home again.

The question on this page.

O, not often used by me no more, but I ask... when you answered that it 'tastes like parsnips', what were you referring to? Was it my question about the kudos bar? What is a 'parsnips' anyhow?

do you mean this question? <<< NOT literally the question immediately to the left but the one below:

If so, it would not be parsnip cake, if there is such a thing. Maybe there should be. I bet parsnip pie would be awesome. But I do love and always use parsnips in soups and stews, and also roasted with other "root vegetables" like in this scrumptous photo below. And appropriately for this thread, parsnips are quite long, but probably not the longest vegetable. In my early education I was "taught" that it is incorrect or inappropriate, forget which, to use "and" to start a sentence like I did above, so I would like to say "screw that" I don't need no stinkin' rules. Well, I do, but you know what I mean.

I was taught to not end any sentence with a preposition, alternatively.

Futhermore, I try to supplant any and all synonynomical usages of the phrase "and" + "also" & work my contrained little brain to avoid any features of repetitiveness, or so it is my aim.

Anyway, thanks for enlightening my of the topic of 'parsnips' (do they taste like mint? I don't know what I asked this, because I've never tasted mint either).
(I think I self-taught myself that any inter-thoughts are meant to be placed within parentheses, and if you should use them within a sentence, the "dot-period" is always placed after the closing parentheses. I think I'm quite right about this.)

I like choc'late cake,
while parsnips make me quiver;
pepper anything.

((2+2)x1)+3=7

almost!

I just happen to be looking at the menu from the Dilworthtown Inn in case I want to take mom there for Mothers' Day and what do you know? It had an entre with parsnips!:

Braised Beef Short Ribs
Smoked Yukon-Parsnip Puree, Hen of the Woods, Grilled Asparagus, Cabernet-Wasabi Jus

My favorite (only) root in which I eat occasionally is yuca. But you can't eat it raw or without proper seasoning, or else it's just taste as though you are eating the pulp of a demolished tree.

Taste speaks of itself;
some you can't think of trying,
unless raised on it.

2x2x1=4x1

I'd like to meet that Hen of the Woods and see what she knows about cocks.

Has the topic shifted to chickens?

I have a righteous photo of a chick somewhere, but nobody cares to know about it.

Favorite way to spice up your chicken (otherwise: how do you like yours done)?

Did you see the tasty (sounds tasty, I have yet to make it) recipe for grilled chicken that Borla posted today in the "tilted food" section? It parallels my taste for grilled chicken since it uses a wet concoction of spices and herbs to baste on the chicken while grilling it "indirectly" (off to the side of the coals/heat) so it cooks a bit longer and slower than "direct" method (right over the hot coals/heat).

A couple days ago my dearest wife (not that I also have any less dear wives, she's my only one) cooked one of her specialties, curry/dijon mustard/honey chicken with a nice side of a "Thai" style rice.

I also like roasted chicken, which we rub with some peanut oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and your favorite herb, then roast in the oven...maybe with some root veggies or baby potatoes.

These chicken dishes taste great, but they increase my concern about the validity of my chicken entropy theory.

So, anyways, I might make a graph on our progress in TLTE.

that might be inspiring and motivational

No, I did not, but you have nw given me a reason and recollection to make a note of it. Care to recount your theory on chicken entropy, and it affects us as a society? I might publish it (with your permission, of course).

'The Longest Thread Ever!' It's really an astonshing thing to realize that we haven't had an acronym for it until now (or that I haven't noticed its usage before if this isn't the first time).

Good luck with your graph, Zooks. Myself, I got a couple or three playlists to author, and I'm hoping to get them done and posted by tonight.

Chicken entropy
must be inevitable
once they're the main course.

49 is my 3rd luckiest number, behind 30 and 6.

Jet, you don't have to wait for my approval. But if you want me to expound on the theory I'll have to collect my thoughts and words since the only place I have it recorded now is in my memory. This was to prevent the theory from falling into the wrong hands ...or drumsticks, if you will, in case some alien powers related to pre-quantum history chickens from another universe might get wind of it and come destroy us before the inevitable "chicken death" of our known universe.

I like how t-l-t-e

as befits this thread.

I used to play a PC game called "Chickens from Space", and it somehow was a religious-type game. Not bad, but weird... also enjoyable, though random in its message.

I'll try to find it for you while you compose your thesis on "chicken entropy".

Ah, I finally got my new discovery to work, and it is a godsend. (now alls I need to do is curate it into a new thread, share it with the TFP masses, and just wait... and wait... until it falls flat back on my face, defying gravity, even, in doing so.)

Also, I fixed up this post (found on page 8 of Picture-Linkage)
Additionally, have you noticed how much I use opening increments of alliteratory interruptors as a crutch to further my statements?

Alas, I've seen too much, yet accomplished very little.

Adieu.

Can I play even if I don't back-read this one,,,, sheeeeesh 554 pages, I wanta play, oh please, you know I thought I add something and then I figured it would just make this post longer, crab......(sequitur) hehehe......
I will catch up following, I promise..... :)

Welcome Idyllic!

We've had a few fresh faces over the course of the past month, but I do truly hope for the sake of everyone and the thread that you can exceed their count (you only need to post once more, and you become TLTE! 'Fresh New Person of the Month').

Anyway, come, unwind, and don't be afraid to get lost in the multitude of pages that now endear our thread. I've done my darnedest to make sure each and every one of them at least has one thing worthwhile on it (though you might need to start around page ~168 to see my entrance to the fray).

Enjoy your flight.

Huh. As luck and coincidence would have it, I was only off by about 10 pages (give or take ~400 posts, or a month's worth of effort, back then) by my original, off-the-top (or outta my rabbit's hole) remark about my first post in this thread.

Turns out it was on page 158 (standard 40-posts-per-page view) that I popped up here. Also, I was kind of an obnoxious dick at first (very sorry about that) so please excuse my voice and posts from back then.

page 222!

so who's going? did you guys get an invitation?

Where are you going, BadNick?

(nobody invites me for anything)

Of course I'd invite you, Jet. But it ain't my party. I'll put in a good word for you, though.
