2008 Picture Game

[Griffin NoName]

The object of this game is to find pictures which include the number 2008 but where it is not a reference to the year 2008.

[Swatopluk]

Difficult to prove. Is e.g. the Shimano XT2008 bike a reference to the year or not?

[Aphos]

Could be tough.  I went through 6 pages of Google images and found nothing that wasn't year related.

[Griffin NoName]

Both points which made me think this would be a suitably challenging game.

[Aphos]

Ok...it's hard to read, but that DOES say 22008 at the top of the price tag.

[Griffin NoName]

Magic !!!!

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

Look carefully - "12 008" is the model number of the flash, and is listed on the box

[Griffin NoName]

Another miracle. Well done Bob the U.

This thread will make history yet.

[Aphos]

Just in case you were wondering "What in the FSM's wide world IS that?"...well, I'll tell you.  It is a pair of LEGO scuba flippers (yes, they really do exist).  Part number 32008.

[Griffin NoName]

Are they embedded in ecstacy tablets?

[anthrobabe]

I want Lego SCUBA flippers! I want- I want. Why don't I have any Lego SCUBA flippers. Oh aren't they just the cutest things.

[Griffin NoName]

Are my eyes that bad? I can't see any 2008 in Goat's mountain. Or are there 2008 hidden trolls or something?

[goat starer]

it is way more cryptic than that! i have gone all Swato on you.

there will be a small prize for the person to get the 2008 reference

[beagle]

It's the Langfoss waterfall with a drop of 2008 feet.

Why am I worried what the prize might be?  A Sherlock Holmes/Moriarty trip along the ledge at the top perhaps?

[Griffin NoName]

Bah! Two many clever clogs.

[beagle]

If Goat covets the Swatopluk crypticness prize he'll need to remember to rename his jpegs.

[Griffin NoName]

I looked at the jpeg name but failed to make appropriate use of it..... which is probably more stupid than not having thought of it at all.

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

If "2008" contained in the image in "code" then, I submit the following:



Hint: "mm" is a significant part of "2008".

i was trying to make it easy enough for you Beagle! 

Your fabulous themed prize is; a packet of cigarretes, a scale model of charles darwins ship, a 7" single of I left my heart in Papworth General by Half Man Half Biscuit, a broken martian lander, a dvd of the royal tenenbaums, a copy of Its a dogs life snoopy, a poster from to the manor born, a barry manilow album and inauguration speech of lyndon B Johnson

[anthrobabe]

In otherwords folks Goat thinks the prize is exactly what he has in his sock drawer!

I suppose it would be naive to ask about the cash alternative?  Just send the fags (English meaning).

2008 mm high according to this place with a very similar picture.

Hey! That's the same place....cool!

[beagle]

Hey! That's the same place....cool!

If you want to believe it's a coincidence rather than me having key-loggers on all your machines that's fine by me.  All's fair in love, war, and Toadfish competitions.

Does the following count?



It's from here

[Griffin NoName]

Count? It's a pretty high count !

[Aphos]

Count? It's a pretty high count !

Count?  It's a member of the peerage?

[Sibling Chatty]

Goatie, I want the poster from To the Manor Born.

I used to love that program(me). Hmmm..must investigate BBC availabilities on Netflix.

[Griffin NoName]

They did a Christmas special this year. It was disappointing.

[Aphos]

A friend of mine got the entire Faulty Towers series for Christmas.  Can't wait to borrow it.

[goat starer]

Goatie, I want the poster from To the Manor Born.

only had one but as beagle seems less than impressed by my encyclopedic (ok wikipedic!) knowledge of beagles i could let you have it for a few grand!

[Sibling Chatty]

You're grand, you're grand, you're grand!!

(Heh. There ya go!)
