Does anybody know what we’re supposed to be seeing in [this](http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/images/a/a5/Mindfuck-woods.jpg) “you’ll shit bricks” picture? Don’t worry, it’s just a .jpg. I always make sure it’s not a screamer before I start looking. 🙂

Thanks!

Maybe the Munchkin actor hanging himself off to the right?

(or maybe the joke is that there is nothing there, and it is inducing people to waste time staring at it for no payoff)

That has crossed my mind, but I see this posted in so many places I was hoping it might be more than that. The one with the guy peeking out from the far left of the frame scared the hell out of me.

> Another variant is the Mindfuck shit bricks post, where OP will post a seemingly innocuous image in which something of a brick shitting nature is concealed or not apparent at first glance. The thread will then evolve into a guessing game of sorts as /b/tards respond with their best guess as to what it is in the picture that would cause the shitting of bricks. Most of the time, however, there is no it and the thread will be overrun with “I’m not seeing it” posts which -in turn- leads to a nasty case of shit brick constipation.

Sorry for the confusion, Boyo. Your post slipped in there.

An Gadaí may know what the reference is, or be laughing that I’m mentioning something that only exists to fleece Yank tourists.

(I was going to mention The Galway Hooker, but only because I found the name amusing.)

I can’t find the danged thing now, but it’s a black and white picture of a crawlspace/basement looking area with pipes and boilers and stuff. It’s very dark and it compels you to peer into the distance in the center of the frame, but at the extreme left edge there’s a rather spooky looking guy looking at the camera. What’s so startling about it is that once you see him you realize he’s been there looking at you for however long you were looking everywhere else.

Anybody recognize this description?

I asked because that is my real last name in your post, and there aren’t too many of us, especially with that spelling.

I’d never heard of these but a little googling reveals that some of them at least do contain things you have to look for. I saw 2 with guys looking in the window at naked girls and 1 T-Rex that may or may not have been a scene from JP2.
