I can imagine one of them saying to the photographer, "Hey, hold my beer at watch this!" and then he tries to light his Marlboro with that torch behind them. KABOOM!!!

It's the finder's comment of the day before yesterday's find. http://www.foundmagazine.com/find/6066

what is that, a submarine behind the house?
and is that methane gas coming out of that pipe? right next to the barbeque? Really?
This picture confuses me.

Wow, I love the photography of this picture. Even though the person who took the picture probably had no clue what he was doing, I think it's an inadvertantly great photograph.

What time do you think it was taken? 4:30 a.m.? Looks like the sun's just coming up.

This looks like a totally bitchin' Bar-B-Q.

What's the white object directly above the grill stuck between the fence pickets? A roll of toilet paper?

"yikes," I cry. in You know why...
Oh my. I know people say this all the time, but I really think I know these guys. I'll have to send my friend a link and see if this is him and his brother.

This is an eerie repeat of another recent finder comments. Was it yesterday or the day before?

If this is father and son, Mohawk guy is the dad, I think. He looks just a little more experienced and comfortable with the bird posture. Way to go, training your kid to be just like you!

On the other hand, these could be aliens.. looks like a space ship disguised as a pickup behind them. Perhaps these are the aliens who came to earth and mated with humans, thereby explaining Fox News, conservative talk radio and eight years of GW Bush.

Turbo,

Damn it! I didn't even NOTICE the orange bowl the first few times I looked at it-- now that I read your comment, it's all that I see!!!

Looks like two buddies. The white roll in the fence is a roll of clear plastic trash bags - they look like the kind I used to steal from the restaurant I worked at! And it looks like a tiki torch to the right - kind of bright for citronella, but maybe that's just the camera setting.

Looks like something my groups of friends would have done twenty years ago. Except we weren't as rednecky looking. Well - I don't think we were.

i swear i see a weinermobile in the background.

what's that movie where some naive man is told that a middle finger is a modern way of saying hello and so he goes around smiling and giving everyone the finger?

They aren't swearing, they're wizards doing magic, the ultra bright light is a spell they are conjuring.

@ HILARY
There are a couple movies that have that, one is Beverly Hillbillys the movie, and another one has Mr. Bean in it but the title has slipped my mind at the moment

Hilary,

Isn't that the Mr. Bean movie? lol

I read the finder's comments and then I started trying to find a similarity between the two men, but couldn't make out their faces because the picture is so dark! I was getting frustrated until I saw Cookie's comments and then I felt much better. Now, all I can see is the ORANGE BOWL, much like everyone else. That, and the guy on the right appears to have a sweet mullet.

Yeah it is the movie "BEAN" :) lol

the round thing in the top left corner is the lid to the grill on top of the truck the guy on the left is cooking on and the thing to the right of his head is his beer in a cooly cup on top of the truck. the orange bowl sticks out a lot, and i can't decide why that light is so bright!?

i like left guys hair, nice mohawk.

bored in the clubhouse. And I got the password.. got the password... whoo!
Hilary, your question about the movie reminded me of a scene in Starman (the original movie with Jeff bridges and Karen Allen, not the sequel or the series.)

something about "take it easy.." "up yours(a)" (with finger)

but I can't remember exactly how it went. Haven't seen that movie in long while.

something about "take it easy.." "up yours" (with finger) (he's coming out of the men's room at a gas station and tells the fat dude going in, "take it easy." (friendly earth greeting he's learned) and the dude gives him the bird and says "up yours."..

later, they're splitting in the car from the diner (after starman resurrects the hunters' deer) she's driving like a bat outta hell and almost runs the hunter down, he says, "HEY! Take it easy!" and Starman flips the bird, says, "up yours!"

I can't remember exactly how the scene went, but something like that. (and it seems that there was an issue in the men's room before the exchange.. like starman was making the fat dude nervous or something.) Haven't seen that movie in long while. Better put it on the "good Old Movie Marathon Day" list.

well that's weird. How did I happen to post before I was even done typing? Sorry.. ;b

This reminds me of a party in the early 80s when someone ended up barbequing watermelon.

Newt Stremple in Chehalis, Washington, come on down! Please give us the real low-down on where you found this.

The photo is dated July 30, 2004. Fooch, that's not a mullet, it's long hair under a backwards ball cap. (I think. I guess it could be a mullet. But why?)

Hey Chrome, could one of these kids be the son of your "70s Birdie Girl"?http://www.foundmagazine.com/find/4208

What a coincidence, I just flipped somebody off two days ago--before that it had been years and years. Only, I did it when the person turned around (just like when I was a teenager, flippin' my dad off)...so sad...but felt so good.

It's not a torch. It's just a shovel or a rake leaning up against the wall. The light is either the sun shining into the camera or an apparition.

So off the subject question.

How long does it take to post a FIND once it's been submitted?

LOL @ Nightingale.. maybe so.. maybe so.

Lady Photographer, I forgot to mention that the time it takes from submisson of Find to publication as a Find of the day varies widely. Could be a month and a half, could be up to three years! (I think that 70's Birdie Girl took almost two years, but I'm a little hazy on the submission date. It might have been a year and a half.)

LASH burnng down the backyard...

I adore this photo...the eerieness and mystery behind the two faces, (facades?) and love the *torch* bellowing from the tip of the *shovel* or *pic*?

And the FINDERS' name, Newt Stremple...Wow!

You really couldn't make that name up...even if you were an "A" list author with a bunch of #1's and they were still selling off the bookshelves in every Chapters!!!

Great Name!!

wishing I was still in utero
Looks like they got some weenies along with some meats on the grill there, and that's a camper top to a truck in the background, but beyond that it looks like an above ground pool.
Looks lika couple uppity damn rednecks to me.

Probably just a pair of your run of the mill survivalists out in the back yard grilling up some elk or moose or something, and giving their salute to the state troopers photographing them through the telephoto lens from the county road.

Has anyone noticed that this caption is the same caption as a picture just a few days ago?

I wonder if that was intentional by the person who submitted it, or if that was a FOUND typo/mistake.

not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue
I don't care particularly if someone already said this, but this is a totally awesome picture! I mean, look at that composition!

It really isn't a picture of the guys, they're inconsequential. It's a picture of one end of a wormhole opening. Those guys are just oblivious
bystanders, #'s 1&2. They don't even get named in the credits.

Whatever these guys are cooking on the grill, it's going to get some grated cheese on top. You can see the cheese grater on top of the miniature Amtrak locomotive behind them.

And the white thing wedged between the fence pickets, that's just a marshmallow someone stuck there.
