Actually, I have lots of random context in my life. It's my favorite kind of context, actually. But I can always use a little more, so thanks for the post.
And I want to live in that house at the top of the page. (There's a 24-hour grocery and DVD rental just outside the frame...) posted by flapjax at midnite at 5:09 PM on October 31, 2007
Where is that house at the top of the page? I'd live there too if there was high speed internet posted by Rumple at 5:21 PM on October 31, 2007
Ditto what Rumple asked. My wife and I also want to live there.

I have no idea whether those images randomize. The top picture when I visited was this one. I'd love to know more about that island. It looks like a pretty awesome place to live. (But I bet the winters there are killer.) posted by Steven C. Den Beste at 6:03 PM on October 31, 2007
If mathowie bought the house, we could have a metafilter free-love commune. posted by Rumple at 6:07 PM on October 31, 2007
The awesome house is on Iceland- I know this, because the random context-free images on ffffound! actually refer to a source of some sort. posted by oneirodynia at 9:01 PM on October 31, 2007
Oops, meant to link to the Iceland Island house on ffffound. posted by oneirodynia at 9:04 PM on October 31, 2007
Mitheral: The sculptures are from Vigeland Park in Oslo, Norway. I got to see them in person this summer, made me proud to be 1/8th Norwegian. My favorite was the old man throwing babies around. posted by wilky at 9:14 PM on October 31, 2007
that pic of mount fuji really captures how much of an alive thing that cloud that lives there is... posted by sexyrobot at 2:29 AM on November 1, 2007
very cool.. but sometimes, as i guess we've seen from the posts, context is useful, even if only as an option.. :) posted by Dillonlikescookies at 4:37 AM on November 1, 2007
i thought 'manda' was russian for 'cunt'
Mandá is a Russian word for 'cunt,' but pizdá is the Russian word for 'cunt,' if you know what I mean. Russian has the richest vocabulary of obscenity, and tradition of inventive use of obscenity, of any language I know. Anyone interested should find a copy of Edward Topol's Dermo!: The Real Russian Tolstoy Never Used, which will give you a good grounding in the topic. posted by languagehat at 6:35 AM on November 1, 2007 [1 favorite]
