Sunday learnin’

You ever play PhotoHunt at the bar? For a buck you get two nearly identical pictures of a woman in a state of semi-undress, quite often soaked in baby oil. (For extra fun, play two player and choose Babes for one and Hunks for the other. It freaks out the guys around you when some stud in white Bikini briefs lounging amongst gaily colored balloons flashes on the screen.)

The game involves finding five areas that have been slightly photo-shopped and touching that area on the touch sensitive screen in a given time limit. In the beginning the backgrounds are simple white walls, the errors easy to spot.

“Her heel has two straps on the left!”
“Her hair!”

Usually they make her hair a little longer. A lot of inconsistencies are often in the background, so don’t spend a lot of time staring at her boobs if you want to win. There is a bigger life lesson there.
As you and your friends gather round winning game after game and you are up in the 250,000 point range, suddenly the backgrounds get dark, out of focus, and very cluttered. Fabrics suddenly involve paisleys and panties are not sweet plain white, but involve layers of intricate black lace with strings and ribbons.

You’re drunkest friend will reach over your shoulder and start pressing randomly on the screen shouting “somethings weird with her navel!” This only takes time off your timer so grab his fingers and bend them backwards. It’s not the best way to spend a Sunday afternoon. At one point Doug was using his tongue to highlight errors on a foxy brunette taking a bubble bath. I had to turn my Tequila shot over to him to prevent any infection from setting in.

“Have a good day!” the bartender said as we got up to leave. The bright sun punished our eyes and Doug said, “I don’t think its a good sign we’re leaving a bar drunk and it’s hardly past lunch time.”
He was right, but I’ll have to tell the rest of the story another time.

  1. Jon, you gotta archive some of your posts, your page is getting very bogged down.
    I love leaving the bar at noon wasted. The Zeitgiest opens at 8:00am and I had a friend who worked there and would pretty much pour Pabst down my throat until i stumbled outta there at about 2:00pm. She would encourage me to call people and get them to come down to the bar and get wasted on friday mornings. I spent many a friday there working out my hangover and contemplating which lucky lady was getting to spend time with me totally blacked out at like 5:00pm.

  2. They automatically archive, it saves the newest ten posts to the home page and then everything else is on another page, so it shouldn’t be loading more slowly. How long has it been a problem?

    Blackouts in the sun…

  3. I agree, site is slow. Even the RSS links straight to the single posting + comments are slow.

  4. The bar across the street from me has Photohunt! I love it! It doesn’t seem like they’ve been able to get any “hunks” or “babes” to pose for Photohunt since 1985.

  5. Yes, it is very dated. The rate at which porn gets more shocking makes me glad. I couldn’t do PhotoHunt if it involved some of the stuff I’ve seen lately.

    But in tech news, yet photo related, I’m wondering if by using pictures from my phone that are hosted by someone else (iphoneslide.com) and not actually from my hard drive, that might slow things down, huh?
