so not gonna happen

post: i know. i spent like an hour straight at work hitting refresh and googling pictures of dime bags. NOT GOOD.

That might take some of the fun out of it. Like when you're trying to play Monkey Island but your friend keeps telling you what to do the minute he sees you're stuck.

Not that I plan on contributing, but it was fun to watch.

No shit you're a little drunk.

Come on, she has a pretty face. Ignore the baldness and fugly clothing for a second.

I started feeling some regrets about participating in this thread and the morality of it all, it's a different thing if Wayne himself would've put the pics online (thus accepting the fact random strangers may comment upon them), but he doesn't necessarily even know they're there. What would you suppose he'd really think if he'd find this thread? Thankfully there are some nice thoughts here as well.

well, first, the friends of Diehl don't even know Wayne so the chances of him finding the thread are very thin. and then, our thoughts about him have evolved a lot along the thread and he comes off as a fairly nice guy compared to the others, no ?

ah, maybe that's where you differ from all the people here ?
that said, it's true that it was more harmless (and arguably, more fun) when we had no idea about these people. when they weren't "real".

(Don't take these comments too seriously, I'm sorta playing the devil's advocate here, but I think in general these are interesting and important issues.)

Now we know that the subjects of our presumed anonymous pictures can be found and find out about us, we're never going to be as spontaneous about this kind of thing ever again.

(lock, print out and hang on wall now)

yeah but it was kinda necessary that we got them in order to make this thread that perfect and kill it.
as it stands, it's kind of a work of art (sophie calle style) !

i agree. there has to be some sort of end to it, closure if you will. we cant go on endlessly speculating, even if that was the most fun. we'd sort of gotten to the end of the line given what was revealed in the original picture.

i love how on that other message board they call him wayne too.

wtf? you don't snigger at ugly and/or badly dressed people on the street with your mates??? are you ned flanders?

This is good. Mail possibilities to my email address below. I'll do one every Monday (maybe every other).

Dude finally got back to me about how he found it on google:

hahahah original caption is:
Awkward moment after an imaginary threesome.

Do a google image search for the word "awkward". You'll find the original pic about halfway down the page.

Then check out the page it comes from. It's called Diehl-in-Iraq. Apparently this party was one for a kid who is now in Iraq.

There is a folder by a girl, forget her name, and these pics come from her folder. There are several.

You're welcome.

Er, no. I think laughing at random people because of their appearance is rather nasty, I didn't know it was a common type of behaviour or anything.

Yes, this was stated very early on!

it's not just laughing at their appearance, it's the whole art of people watching. it's laughing at what you speculate is their entire motivation and raison d'être!
