Most cell phones allow you to link an embarrassing photo with all your contacts.  Most of these pictures feature your friends picking their nose or shocked by the camera flash.  Those are the few you remember to actually get a picture of.  And if you’re a straight guy trying to get pictures of your other straight guy friends, well, weird.  Using this guide, you can put your geekiness to good use and come up with some creative pictures to use for all your contacts.

Star Wars

Only the geekiest of geeks can make put the Star Wars Universe to good use by humorously linking all their friends and contacts with the images of Jedis and CGI icons.  And best of all, if there are people you really don’t care about, there’s always Stormtroopers.

80’s cartoons

Some of your friends are Transformers, some might be Smurfs, and the best of them - Care Bears, of course.  If you have exciting friends, maybe spring for some G.I. Joes.  And cat-lovers are easy - Thundercats.

Super heroes

Why limit yourself to Marvel or DC.  Is one of your friend’s overly wholesome - you’ve got Superman.  Wisecracking class clown?  Spider-Man or Iceman.  Billionaire playboy?  Iron Man or Batman.  And also put him on speed dial, billionaires have all the fun.

Locations

Why do people have to represent people?  Animals can get a little insulting, so settings, whether real or fake can really speak to a person’s strength (and weaknesses) in ways only you know.

Politicians

Best for research nuts, there are 435 members of the House, 100 Senators, 50 governors, and presidents and candidates of all stripes (mostly white men) to pick from.  So get to screening for policy stances, beer drinking capacity, and skeletons in their closet.
