Random Album Cover game

[Strawman]

Someone showed me this today... kinda fun

So heres a fun little game I stumbled upon.

Rules are as follows:

1. The first article title on this page is the name of your band. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random

2. The last four words of the very last quote on this page is the title of your album (Hit the "New Random quotations" button at the bottom). http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3

3. Finally, the third picture here, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/

4. (Optional) Using the rule from #2 above, create a track list of 12 songs.

Mine: (I added the band name and album title to the photo, but you don't have to)

Failing that, I want to name my band that.

[DarkTirade]

60. I'm actually tempted to try and do that...

unfortunately I forgot to bookmark the page that I go the image from. :( So I don't know if I'd be able to give credit to the person who drew that, or even legally use it.

*edit* Ahah! Found it in my history. :) Thank you Firefox for including a search function in the history sidebar.

11. Moreira, Portugal, "Functionary for his function."

Be good for something
Yourself, you are disbelieved

Asked for my autograph
Leaves your midsection unprotected

28. Oh, this one is REALLY good: Eduord Stern, "wrong-- or absolutely right"

Edourd Stern, one of France's richest man and considered the "Mozart of Finance", was found dead on March 1, 2005 in Geneve, Switzerland. His body, clothed in a latex suit, was found in his bedroom shot four times. He was dressed from head to toe in a latex rubber suit with a dildo inserted into his rectum. He was known to be interested in heterosexual sado-masochistic sex. His killer was his long-term lover and notorious S&M prostitute, Cecile Brossard who was also called "Alice".

Which isn't funny, but connected to the quote and this image, it becomes rather hilarious:



So that you don't think I just pulled an image from my collection, the image comes from here:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/banana2000/2265522450/


(the words are the last four words of the quote "When everyone is against you, it means that you are absolutely wrong-- or absolutely right." Albert Guinon (1863 - 1923))
