I don’t know why I have such a soft spot for animated Gifs. Small things amuse small minds, I suppose.
Or maybe it’s got something to do with those old billboards that used to blow smoke rings or that two storey cowboy in Vegas who did nothing but wave 24/7. They just get your attention.
God knows, every time I tack one up here, the visitor traffic spikes.
It might have something to do with a life spent at the movies too. Watching those strings of still pictures magically being brought to life. The sweet “I could so be on Jeopardy” twinge of recognition or the distillation of the essence of a film captured in a snippet of frames.
Or maybe it’s just that they’re a lot of fun.
Fun that can be multiplied with the creative use of sound and pop touchstones. It’s always amazing how two or three disparate elements can be combined to get you giggling about what has become a cultural reference to something else.
You may not like or even “get” all of what follows. But I guarantee you’ll find yourself laughing out loud a couple of times.
Maybe it really is that “small things amuse small minds” thing.
Enjoy Your Sunday.
