Thumbnails

One game I like to play (particularly on the FB), is to post an article with a willfully wrong thumbnail photo accompanying it. There's something about that which appeals to me -- it kind of takes basic information of the article and adds a little wrinkle to it.

For example, I posted this article, and cycled through the thumbnail options until I saw this picture, and thought "That's funny." Obviously, the art of conversation has fuck-all to do with shirtless Robert Mitchum wielding a Luger, but that's exactly the point of it. The incongruity of it makes me snicker. It's a little game I play -- I'll post and cycle through the thumbnail options until I find something that fits my perverse sense of humor.
