LOVE this. I go on chatroulette the odd time with the hope of coming across someone cool like this... but no. All I seem to get is male genitalia

I discovered Best of Chatroulette. There are some equally brilliant, disgusting and hilarious shots. See this. to witness the middle one of those

<mod edit: I've removed the link to the site, as some of the material on it is completely unsuitable. See point 5 in this part of the Forum Charter for details>

I sound so pretentious saying this but it used to be a really cool site before it got really popular/mainstream.It used to be dominated by 4channers and it was very rare to see male genitalia. I seen some strange sights like a man with 10+ guns, someone in a shanty town in brazil, band playing, group of people in anonymous masks and a range of weird stuff. Now the sites ruined! Same thing happened with Omegle, used to have some great stimulating convos on there, now you're lucky to get more than: ''Asl?, oh your not f and going to give me msn? '' *disconnected*

Well if a website has a rule stating "please stay clothed" it's probably wise to assume that there's going to be naked people.

Wow, that sounds pretty good. It just pisses me off now, it's either the genitalia or people holding up signs saying 'Show us yer b00bs'. Classy.

You mean signs entitled 'Show us your b00bs' doesn't work? I paid 20€ for that book 'How to pick up girls on the net' for nothing!

In all seriousness though; you'd think they would try a different tactic after that failing every time. Maybe asking politely ha.

Yeah, I got sick of it ages ago. I've seen too much for a guy my age. Besides sexual acts, some are just downright disturbing for other reasons. :-/

In other news, the "Ode To Merton" is because there's already a guy on YouTube doing it! I love this! :pac:

Ah, talk last night of Leaving Cert Art forced me to go one of my monthly Dalí binges. Drew the first two of these in my history of art exam.

(Somehow neither of them could claim to be the most absurd drawing I had to do in it. My friend challenged me to fit in some Alan Partridge references into the paper but I went one better and took advantage of the 'talk about a local statue / sculpture' question to create a sculpture of AP in air-guitar mode. )

LOVE Dalí. Went interrailing during the Summer and managed to pack in not one, but TWO Dalí exhibitions (in Prague & Bruges). I'm not a huge art lover but that guy is amazing.
