Schadenfreude
by Steve West on May 29, 2008

Is it wrong to laugh at goofy-looking mugshots? Probably on some level. I mean, the circumstances that led to these photographs being taken had to be well, criminal. Their misfortune shouldn't be fodder for my amusement, should it? Not sure, but I laughed anyway. Funny commentary, too.

I guess it all comes down to personal taste, but I think someone would be remiss to exclude the following gems:
All these years, he's been saving that mullet for his 20th high-school reunion.
"Jesus" is right...
shame over arrest, or buyer's remorse for tattoo?

deja-vu
(Note from TSG: The gentlemen on page #2 were arrested four days apart and, best as we can tell, do not share a wardrobe.)

Ha ha! I was inspired to review some Smoking Gun photos also but missed a lot of those. Cool.

We Were That Close
Brenda and I looked at a house a few days ago and were very charmed by it. It was a ranch style home with four bedrooms, a large fenced yard and was selling at a reasonable price. Brenda was a little unsure of the size of the bedrooms but agreed to go back and specifically measure them with a tape measure and if they met her minimum standards, she would agree to make an offer for the house.

Christmas Post #19: More Weird Plushies
First came The Godfather horsehead pillow; next came virus plush toys; now there's road kill. Yes, nothing says warmth and comfort like road pizza cat although I'm a little disappointed that none of them appear to be the scratch-and-sniff variety. Go »
Christmas Post #16: A Hillbilly Christmas
My father was born and raised in North Carolina. Throughout my childhood we would make the summer trek to my Granny and Grandpaw's house in the middle of the state. Many a summer night passed listening to roosters (they crow all friggin' night), the occasional gator grunt, and my hillbilly cousins fart and scratch while playing cards. Go »
Speaking Of Tattoos...
"She Who Must Be Obeyed" (my wife) has graciously allowed me to alter my flesh by getting a tattoo. Much thought has gone into this. David Spade put it well after getting a Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes tattoo on his shoulder. Go »
Shadowlands
As much as I admire the shadow creations, I know I wouldn't be able to stand having the pile of trash responsible sitting in the middle of my rec room. Seriously, how many have a "gallery" in their home. Go »

Priceless. No idea how the author could put them in any ranking order, though... how on earth do you decide between an Oompa-Loompa and Badger-Lovin' Beavis, or Cameron Diaz and the Leprechaun???
I just don't know.
