@nickn - Sorry, I confused you with onimo. I was just wondering why he did the right clicking on that boob pic.

@buffandmaxsmom - ILX can be viewed with images off, sometimes a useful thing to do when viewing threads at work. When you switch images off a link to the image appears instead and you get to see what it's called.

Other times I may look at image properties for other spurious reasons. I think that's what happened with holeyboobs but I can't really remember my motivation. It might be that I was viewing it on a phone screen and wanted to see if those were warts or wormholes as I wanted to make a wart-tits pun.

I hope this has gone some way to explaining, if not justifying, my right-clicking on boobs.

Right-clicking on boobs needs no justification.

I think its sexy

the sexy starfish thingy is actually gentiana urnula, a flowering plant that grows in the Himalayas. it's very beautiful & it's sad that some people might actually be creeped out by it.

@Barman - That's what the description said, "starfish succulents" ... and I don't like its pattern, find it creepy and not "beautiful." The flowers are also creepy looking.

@starfish - You find seeds trypo? They don't bother me at all. And I don't know what the frig you're referring to by "holeyballs.jpg". Don't you give images you save names?

please do not take that unpleasant tone with starfish succulents (unregistered).

estela, Saturday, 16 June 2012 03:13 (11 months ago) Permalink

@estala - Starfish belittled my aversion to starfish succulents, which I find to be trypophobic, as do others in facebook. I didn't care very much for his tone, either.

@buffandmaxsmom: I'm not trying to belittle your fears — I just thought "starfish succulents" was a cool term. there are some things that terrify you but have no effect on me, and I wish you would just accept that. the only thing on this thread that really makes my skin crawl is olive loaf, but I wouldn't be offended if you changed your name to "oliveandloafsmom" (hint: please do this).

starfish succulents (unregistered), Monday, 18 June 2012 02:02 (11 months ago) Permalink

@starfish - I'm gonna keep my name, thank you. Every trypophobe has his or her own images that freak them out. Starfish succulents are one of them for me. Olive loaf doesn't bother me at all. A lot of phobes hate lotus seed pods, but they do nothing for me, unless they're photoshopped on human or animal skin.
