After a amazingly long round 7, here's round 8. :P This shouldn't be nearly as bad... I hope.

Your goal in this game is to figure out what I searched for to come up with the image I provide to you guys. It's similar to 20 questions, but there's no limit on the number of questions. Here's the rules:

1) Using Google Images, I searched a specific phrase to get an image from the first two rows (8 images) of the first page. I searched with safe search completely off as well. Your goal is to guess EXACTLY what I searched for. Word order is irrelevant. The phrase will always be in English, but may include unusual contractions or slang.

2) You may ask as many yes-no questions as you want. For example, you can ask something like "Is 'handprints' one of the words?" and I will answer either "Yes" or "No." I might occasionally give a little more details.

3) To win, you just need to post a correct guess of the phrase I searched. It doesn't have to be in a fancy question form or anything. Guessing a phrase that produces similar results does not count. The words can be in any order.

4) You may ask up to four questions per post. You may post again once I or another member has replied.

5) Everyone who competes will receive 5 points when someone wins the game. The winner of the game will receive 50 points. For every question you ask that has a "yes" answer, you will receive 1 point as well.

6) After a certain amount of time, I will give out a few hints.

So here's the first image:



Good luck to everyone. :)

There is either 3, 4, or 5 words in the phrase.

Computer is one of the words.

Keyboards and hate are not any of the words.

There are 4 words, not 5.

Excluding the word "computer," the words are not uniquely related to computers.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, but I feel the answer is 'no.'

By 'medium' I mean TV shows, music, film, etc.

Is the phrase grammatically correct?

Does the phrase contain any proper nouns?

Does the phrase make reference to an animal?

Does the phrase contain any internet slang?

No relation to current affairs.

No relation to food.

At least one of the words is an adjective.

At least one of the words is used heavily in casual speech.

There are two adjectives.

I'm not sure how to answer this, as I could see the amount varying depending on whose definition of "casual speech" we use. I will say 2 for now though.

It does NOT contain "the."

It does NOT contain either "a" or "an." (So, basically, it does not contain any articles.)

We did establish it was four words, so this is not it unfortunately.

There are no other nouns.

There are no pronouns.

I believe it is entirely present, simple tense.

There is at least one word that is 2 letters or less.
