The Lion Does Not Concern Himself With VGA Cables

Description

A vertical photo of a home desk setup gone feral: the back of a monitor on a wooden desk with its connector shell removed, and a fat bundle of bare multicolored wires (yellow, orange, white, purple, green, black) running exposed from the monitor's port area down to a stripped connector soldered or jury-rigged directly onto a port on an old beige/gray PC case below. Black power cables snake across the desk, and a red tool handle peeks from the left edge. Overlaid white meme text reads: 'The liom does not concern himself with vga cables' ('liom' being a typo of 'lion', riffing on the 'the lion does not concern himself with the opinions of sheep' quote format). The humor: instead of buying a VGA cable, someone hand-wired all ~15 pins of the analog video connection bare-metal - peak hardware hacker hubris and EMI nightmare

    The lion fears no connector, only crosstalk on the sync lines.
