What’s on the other side of the Camera?

Hello beasts. Hope everyone kept it mythical, mystical, and mistletoe’d this holiday season. The BenandJacqalope sure is (did you see the tacky sweater photo I posted a few posts ago?)

This week on FFTW, we salute people who not only are unafraid of making ridiculable (new word, just made it up) faces, but are so bold as to post them on the internet with a creative commons license so that mythical beasts can freely post them to any number of websites, with attribution.

It makes us here at rhettandlink.com ask a simple question for your beastly imaginations. What is a plausible situation going on on the other side of the camera to elicit this response? Chime in the comments!

Until next week, BenandJacqalope out.

No Lionel Allowed?

BenandJacqalope back again, with another healthy dose of FFTW.

This week I’ve got troubling news. It appears the government is stepping in and putting an official end to Project Lionel. Or at least that was my first thought upon seeing this photo.

I hope that Rhett and Link don’t experience any legal trouble as a result of the new regulations.

But seriously, though. What is this sign forbidding? Chime in in the comments!

Until next time, BenandJacqalope out.

It’s the New (Year) and improved BenandJacqalope, back for another edition of FFTW. Speaking of the New Year, and check out this fantastic photo I found:

Sky Dive fun start.

That great image of leaping before you look leads me to a question: If you knew you couldn’t fail, what’s one thing you’d try in 2011? Chime in below in the comments. Let’s make some new year’s resolutions of mythical proportions! And then we can look back at this time next year and see how we did!

Until next time, BenandJacqalope out.

I’m not all that big into Real Estate…

…But from time to time the BenandJacqalope likes to dabble in flipping houses, investment income, and 401(k) projections.

Just kidding, I was using all the words I could think of that mean something financial. What I am good at? Finding awesome content from the internet, and delivering it to you, courtesy of FFTW (fun from the web, silly) and RhettandLink.com.

Without further ado, I give you this edition’s photo.

The only downside of this house is that even it seems to be laughing at you for purchasing it. That’s the last time that builder ever tries to design something off of the 1987 prom dress he found a picture of. It looked way better in his head.

Speaking of regrettable purchases, what’s something you bought and later wished you could take back? Comment below!

Until next week, BenandJacqalope out.

Who needs a Brake?

Welcome back to another edition of FFTW, I’m your humble tour guide, the BenandJacqalope. This week, we step into a strange world where automobiles and leisure intersect.

And while it may sound like I am introducing a new line of convertible, I’m actually leading up to a couch.

Behold the ’56… lazyboy?

I am kind of a stickler for detail, but I’d hate to sit down on a couch that appears to be in reverse. And which way is it going to go, because backwards seems to be forwards in this photo!

That’s all I’ve got for now. Why don’t you help me out with a caption for this photo. Your assignment is to use the following 3 words/phrases in your caption: Help, performance, and dance floor. Chime in below!

Until next time, BenandJacqalope out.
