Specific Things

Wednesday, September 5, 2007

If you found yourself enjoying Alec’s Jump The Sandwich shenanigans, you may also enjoy the many wonders of Specific Things. I’d love to highlight all of the “specific things” that the website features but, well, that’s what the site’s for.

Alas, here are a few samples from two of the collections:

Lots more where that came from on the website.

I should also add that Specific Things is looking for photographic submissions in the following categories:

Pictures of TP’d houses
Pictures of people imitating statues they are posing in front of
People giving the thumbs-up wearing yellow rain slickers
Pictures of people toasting at holiday dinners
Young men wearing “pimp” costumes
Self-portraits taken on roller coasters
Pictures of people who have had pies thrown at them
Pictures of people waiting in long lines
