Google Images = Awesome

At some point, I'm going to stop talking about my blog in my blog and actually, you know, blog about stuff.  But in the meantime, allow me some indulgences.

For instance, in creating a totally rad blog, one needs a catchy title, an mission statement (probably) and a super-cool picture at the top that captures the essence of what the blogger does.  I do have a title; I'm not sure I'd call it "catchy".  I guess if I had to condense my mission statement into one word it would be "burritos".  But "burritos" is not much of a statement so I guess my mission statement would be "Consume burritos".

Mission accomplished.

Which brings us to the super-cool picture.  I want something manly.  But not just manly; the photo needs to be awesomely manly.  Something like, oh, I dunno:  Darth Vader having a light saber/whip fight with Indiana Jones.  If one googles "Darth Vader light saber whip fight Indiana Jones", you are greeted with this image:


That picture theoretically is exactly what I want but for whatever reason, seems so far away from what I need.  Too cartoony?  Not cartoony enough?  I can't quite put my finger on it.

Oddly, when you google "Darth Vader light saber whip fight Indiana Jones", you will also find this image:


See kids?  Bonzer T's Home Skillet is disturbingly PG-13.

I did some more searches for manly pictures, in a desperate attempt to find a blog header-worthy picture:

When I googled "Clark Griswold fighting a grizzly bear" (why not?):


Pretty good.  But clearly not a grizzly bear.

When I googled "Ditka vs God", I found:


I don't find the Levitra Challenge particularly "Manly".

Likewise, when I googled "Viking vs Dinosaur", I got a badass Viking fighting a monocled (for whatever reason) T-Rex:


When I googled "Dark Helmet Politely tells off Lone Star", I found:


Ok, ok, full disclosure: I created that image.

Sadly, the search continues.  If anyone comes up with a super-fantastic photo or drawing, let me know.  I promise I won't let anyone know it was you who found it, thereby assuring confidentiality so that no one--ever--will know you're associated with Bonzer T's Home Skillet.
