Too close to the lens.

Sudden Giant Nostril Gallery. Not as horrid as you'd imagine. Photos taken of animals, with the nose of the critter waaaay close to the camera lens. Actually, some images are pretty funny. And, no, this post has no intellectual merit. Step along, please.

False.

"Sudden Giant Nostril Gallery" must be a completely novel utterance, a sequence of words that had never, in the history of the world, been put together in that order before.

(The "mataglap" and "The Welcome Rain" stuff is a reference to a most excellent science fiction novel called Aristoi by Walter Jon Williams.)

Good lord, jonson, that one looks like something out of Fantastic Voyage.

That one aside, it seems to be harmless amusement.

What terrifies me more... that there's a site devoted to this... of that there's a WEB RING devoted to this?

Seen it before, but it was called THE DOG. I've got a little Shiba looking at me from on top of the monitor, and a few others scattered through the house, not to mention the stationary sets and stickers...

What?

As is so often the case, those obsessive japanese have shown us the way forward - puppies! (and the odd kitten)
