Well, since my handle is based on the word "spode", which my friends and I coined as a derogatory term for a vacuous moron whilst in junior high (only later to find out that it was in fact the name of a renowned family of china makers), I searched on that. The most interesting thing I found (besides gazillions of photos of awesome porcelain ware) *does* have a picture, but is more meaningful if you actually look at the whole page, http://jubal.westnet.com/hyperdiscordia/spode.html , which I find to be eerily appropriate.

I also discovered that there are crazed backcountry motocross free-for-alls called "Spodefests" in Idaho and Utah, and some trio of female musicians that have something or other to do with the word 'spode'.

Really, though, the most interesting single image I found was the one below, which depicts the Spode family tombs in England.
