flickrTagFight

Posted by Mark | Filed under Humor, Links

Nor­mally, I’d save this for my weekly post­ing of links from Pukka but I’m rein­stalling some soft­ware on my main work PC and am bored out of my skull while I wait for it to com­plete. So I vis­ited the link from Pukka on another PC and scripted up this bat­tle of titans!

Hmm? Oh yeah, the link is flick­rTag­Fight. The idea is very sim­ple; you input 2 terms and the site returns a sele­tion of pho­tos from flickr with those tags (as well as telling you how many pho­tos have the tag). The site even pro­vides a handy drop­down box for you to select some of the clas­sic bat­tles of the ages (good vs. evil, cat vs. dog, etc..).

My bat­tle of choice? Read on to find out!

It’s “Sushi vs. Pizza” tonight here on flick­rTagDeath­Match!!!! In this cor­ner, known for being all too raw and ready to go. The ori­en­tal mad man.…. SUSHI! In the oppo­site cor­ner, known for being hot & greasy. The amer­i­can favorite.… PIZZA! And the fight has started! BAM! CRASH! ZAP! The images are load­ing on my screen now! *whew* What a match that was! Folks, if you weren’t here tonight; you’ve missed a bat­tle of epic pro­por­tions a cool web­site. The like of which I’ve not seen in my 20 years cov­er­ing the ring 10 min­utes or so of writ­ing up this silly nar­ra­tive. Such fury and rage has never before been seen in the ring web­site! The clash­ing of heav­ily mus­cled bod­ies, fling­ing each other about the ring nicely taken pho­tos of art­fully pre­pared sushi and heavily-loaded piz­zas all on the same page! And the undis­puted cham­pion of tonight’s match is the one, the only SUSHI!¹

¹ At the time of this writ­ing, Flickr had 6480 pho­tos tagged with Sushi vs. 5100 for Pizza.
