Farktography

One of the sites I browse in my copious amounts of spare time is Drew Curtis' FARK.com. It's one of those sites which collects links to news stories, whether important, off-beat, downright strange...(let's put it this way: they have a separate category for Florida stories). [NOTE: If you're at work, you probably shouldn't visit FARK.com. Wait until you get home.)

One of the things they do from time to time is "Photoshop contests." Basically, they post either an original photo or a general theme, and participants create bizarre images based on that. I've often wanted to participate, but I have no "1337 pShop skilz," so I don't bother.

Recently, they've started a much simpler contest, entitled
Farktography. It's just a themed photo contest. I thought, Great! Theme photos with no manipulation -- I can do that!

Then, I realized that I had no way to post pics to Fark. Links posted to Fark get "Farked," which is analogous to being "Slashdotted," so I'm assuming that if I tried to post a pic hosted here at Snookles.com, well...Scott probably wouldn't appreciate it. (right, scott? :)

The Fark powers-that-be suggest that the webspace that your ISP provides works well, as there is usually no bandwidth limit with that webspace.

My ISP? YahooBB. Their webspace? Geocities.jp. Well, THAT'S not gonna work...

Oh, well.

Here's a link to the latest Farktography contest (theme: "Seen Better Days"). A WARNING: It's a huge thread, and takes a while to load up. Plus, it's still FARK.com, and some links will be NSFW.
