Default Internet: Google Image Whack Competition

This is similar to the GoogleWhack competition but I want you to find images instead.

What, you may ask is a GoogleImageWhack :-? :?:

Well I was wondering what new competitions we could have at Siliconhell and I remembered how popular the Google Whack competition was. I suddenly realised that we could do the same thing with images :idea:

A Google Image Whack is where you go to the Google Image Search and enter 1 or 2 words in the search box and only get 1 result returned.

As I think its relatively easy I'll offer 10 tokens for each member who uses one word and finds and posts the word for their Google Image Whack

I'll offer 50 tokens for each member who uses two words and finds and posts their words for their Google Image Whack

Rules
  • The words must be English and found in the Oxford English dictionary
    The website containing the GoogleImageWhack must not be your own.
    Don't use any lewd or rude words as you will probably get banned from the forum
    Don't post anything that returns unsuitable images as you will probably get banned from the forum
    No more than 5 entries per member per day


Please ensure that your Preferences are set at "Use Moderate Filtering". This is the default behaviour so don't worry about it if you have never changed it ;-)

Have Fun, Don't waste too much of your time ;-)

Booyah! I found me a whole gaggle of 'em...(Yeah, I know - too much spare time)

1. lime harmonica
2. tuba wombat
3. treacle hamster
4. hamster reagent
5. preposition banana
6. lime deposition
7. triumphant elk
8. unhappiness acorn
9. respectable lupin
10. charisma apostrophe

I like the way that the words ALMOST work together to make something plausible...but not quite

Sadness is just another word for not enough coffee...

I tried those 2 again and got 1 result for each, but I think I know why - I'm using Google Australia here, and there must be a slight difference between UK and Aussie Google. (I guarantee if you go to google.com.au, they will come back with 1 result each)

I think you need to use the link that it in the rules, it takes you to Google.com Image Search ;-)

I'll add the Tokens to your account

As this challenge is too easy so I have reduced the amount of Tokens further winners will receive, otherwise I'll go bankrupt :-?
