First, a link to the Save the Images Organizational diary and the Save the Images boilerplate:
These diaries are archival, for the transition to WordPress. Please only comment to add images that match the group, or with added information about one of the images.
Once we are in WordPress, there will be no site Image Library. But you will be able to tag-search this group of diaries, select the category you are looking for, and click, download, then upload the image you want into the diary or comment you are working on.
If you do not wish one of your personal images to be included, please contact the diarist.

South Korea is the world’s 2nd largest Spam consuming nation, behind the US. Koreans regard Spam as a high-end delicacy. They’ve obviously never been on DKos at 5 am.
