Pie already has previewed this and says it looks angry.

I only found one, right when the topic was first announced:

I just noticed while uploading that it looks like I'm strangling it.

Any guesses?

Shane, is that part of a stapler?

Know where I found a ton? At the intersection where a pan handle meets the pan. Never realized they had so much personality!

Here are mine. Like I said, I had to force myself to stop taking photos. I actually have even more than these, so I had to edit myself.

Triplets! This is a Japanese box my daughter bought me last year.

A gorgeous inlaid wood and pearl box I bought a few years ago. I never realized it had "teeth" until yesterday. It looks very Burtonesque.

*was planning to cheat later, as i had to do stoopid stuff like sleep*

me, I'm stoopid. I saw one in Athens (easy! it was right in the house!) when this was announced, but forgot to shoot it. Sort of looked around today while I was running errands, but didn't see anything I liked enough.

I have got no imagination, I can't see any faces in things.

Eekacat, that's awesome!

Yours are hilarious, me3dia.

Dang, a punk jello cup with a mohawk and pierced lip. Nice. That toothed wood box is great too, iconomy.

This was actually harder than I thought it would be. I see stuff like this all the time, but when I go looking for it all the faces are hiding. I had the fire hydrant photo already luckily. Damn shy faces not wanting to be photographed.

I couldn't find any. *weeps*

By the way, its now against Flickr's rules to not link back to the photo on their site. Link back.

posted by fenriq 08 December | 20:04

bah, flickr. That site drives me up the wall it's so slow; I HATE clicking flickr links. Too bad they seem to have a lock on the community photo thing.

Ok, this is so very late but i did promise to try. But you try doing this with a spastic faulty power cord and then a big case of the d'oh evidenced by uploading the wrong versions of the pics... i'm outta uploads and outta luck, but here's what i got:
and when did they get rid of the crop feature on flickr?

"I stare at you with my spotty face and red mustache."

"Hi! I'm a totally fake smile!"

"The incredible resolution of the dust more than compensates for my flaring nostrils."

"Who you looking at, prick?"
and a pointless bonus:

"The man is screaming because my head is on fire."

The plan was to make and carve little cakes that were screaming in misery, but i had to do that obnoxious sleep thing again.
oh well.
cakes can wait.
