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?
"Make sure you get my good side..."
I'm betting this guy was arrested for throwing chairs...
"Sexy"'s cousin
diehard UF fan???
help me out with this one... the words escape me
arrested on the set of Trick My Trucker
They must use a Dark Crystal on some of these police cameras -- Podling essence, anyone... hmmmm???
Sexy, you scamp, is that you again?
Don King's twin sister... separated at birth
more from Extreme Makeover...
These guys think that "I'm With Stupid" shirts are just... stupid.
"Look into the Crystal, dammit!"
I wonder... does this poor guy habla?
takes one to know one...
just doing her part to "go green" with paperless invoice
poor girl... can't afford the glitter
tan lines are sexy!
Santa's freeloading younger brother!
Who's his daddy?
the coveted black Beavis vote
"Gelfling!"

(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.

My Favorite Memory
Yesterday, we held the memorial service for my father-in-law. There were approximately 100 people attending and afterward about 1/3 gathered at his home for a small meal and sharing remembrances. I chose to share my memory of the time, twenty years ago, when I asked him for his blessing for my planned proposal to Brenda, his eldest daughter.

Another collection of dumb criminals/lawsuits. Over-salted burger; anger management irony; the writing is on the wall dope; porn = pain; and finally, from the "What Did They Expect?" department, Unwanted donation . Go »I'll Have the Seven Deadly Sins Combo
Funny chart that shows the resultant interactions of each of the seven deadly sins. Go »I Know His Name Was Bob (Thanks, Amy)
Prom pictures that are (to be blunt) not good. I think I come closest to number 3. Number 9 is definitely my parents. Go »Pass Out Drunk And Still Be The Life Of The Party
I haven't passed out drunk since my brother's bachelor party 25 years ago. Thankfully nobody cared enough to torture me like these guys. I experience schadenfreude seeing photos of this nature but still laugh my silly ass off. 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.
