Contribute your pic to Shy Jelly Beans in Bikinis!

I enjoy looking through Flickr pics while I listen to podcasts.  Sometimes, I play a game I call "Flickr Roulette".

It's very similar to my Google game where I select random words and see if there is a match - e.g. "Eagle Penis". (Before you report me, that particular one was related to a post I was working on.  No, you're right, that doesn't help any.)

For Flickr, I'll search for something like "sexy nails" and see what comes up (uh...).  Or I'll type in something as vague as "Good" and revel in the random weirdness I discover ("can't sleep, dolls will eat me..."). I might even get fancy and try some nutty nonsense like... "sexy donut eyes" (jackpot!)...

Holy crap, I have no life.

But I digress. I often delight at the odd groups to which commentors suggest the photographer add her/his picture:

"Hey, I'm an administrator for the group 'I Like Peanuts and Printer Ink' and we'd love to have this pic added to our group!" 
Here are just a few:

(Curious about the content? Sure: go here for group.)


Found on this pic
(I'd like nothing more than to provide an active link for this group. Sadly, it's private.)


This one is especially interesting because:

1) the gal in the picture doesn't exactly look like someone's mother (although neither do many MILFs in porn films either, for that matter.)

2) Who would want to have their pic in this group?*

And who knew there'd be a group like this:

Found on this pic
(Do "hamster bums" = happiness for you? Fab, you can find that group here.)



And, then, occasionally I come across something pretty freaking inadvertently awesome - such as this guy who commented on one of the pics.  He's looking for a mate and has the ultimate chick-magnet photo of himself as his avatar... what looks like a mugshot.

WIN!

*Yes, I know there are people who would eagerly join.  But just as I am baffled by the "Hot or Not" site's premise, I'm similarly confused by the confidence level of people wanting to have themselves rated within this group.  I can tell you that I am overall happy with my appearance. There are people who think I'm quite attractive, others who think I'm OK, and a bunch who wouldn't fuck me if I was the last girl left on the planet and our genitalia was drawn together by magnets.  So who are these people who think strangers should assess their hotness - and do they gain something or lose something in the process? Are they super-confident? Really insecure? Can someone do a psychological study of these people and let me know?

If you read my footnotes, here's an added "treat".  ...?
