The great slide deck scavenger hunt!

Welcome to the great slide deck scavenger hunt!

I'm terrible at coming up with illustrations for slides, and I'm running out of time getting my slides together for my next talk. Alternatively, I am very lazy; that explanation works too. Anyway, I'm crowd-sourcing.

Below is a list of themes I need illustrations for. If you see one you know the perfect funny/poignant/memorable image for, please post it in the comments! Attribution hints are helpful too.

If I use your suggestion, I'll give you $5 your next purchase at my store (excluding RubyTapas; I don't have the ability to generate coupons for that yet).

I'll be adding more entries over the next day or so, so check back if you just can't get enough. I'll also cross off ones that I've picked an image for.

Without further ado, the themes:

  • Feeling isolated
  • Doing it all wrong
  • Been there, done that, got that t-shirt
  • Talk to the duck
  • Stay on target! (This one is pretty obvious, but hey, if you've got something more fun than Porkins...)
  • A fresh perspective
  • An experiment
  • A gap; a gulf; something people have trouble traversing
  • Navigator and Driver (Han and Chewie?)
  • A diverse ecosystem
  • Issuing a challenge
  • All you have to do is ask
  • A welcome mat
  • Feeling lost
  • moral support

All you have to do is ask. Although you might get Pyconized:

Challenge

The most obvious would be Samuel L. Jackson with "I double dare you", but this may be more amusing a challenge:

Monty Python's Black Knight

Feeling lost

Gandalf at Moria is the most obvious being lost example on the Internet novadays. But maybe "Go home, you're drunk" search will yield something, for example:

Drunk boat

or

Jumanji

All you have to do is ask

Overly attached GF

Experiment

Science dog

or

Patrick

I think "I have no idea what I'm doing" is the very definition of an experiment :)

Welcome Mat(t?)
