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...

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

These guys think that "I'm With Stupid" shirts are just... stupid.

(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.

Public Service Announcement
For those of you who will be pulled over by the police and asked the inevitable question, "Because I'm smokin' hot" is not the correct answer to "Do you know why I pulled you over?" Live and learn. Go »
Just As I Suspected...
A panel of experts (a group of listeners to Britain's BBC 6) have determined the worst duet in history. Obviously this group has no credentials or necessarily any credibility and history is such a long time. But that's a pretty good vote if schmaltz makes a song bad. Go »
Bad Jobs
I've had a few jobs that were pretty bad or at least aspects of them. We've probably all had crappy jobs like working in a kitchen or stuff that's just unpleasant or had difficult co-workers. The worst thing I was required to do was when I was working at the Department of Agriculture. Go »
Happy Halloween
Back when I was about ten, I went trick or treating as a witch doctor. I got to a house that I didn't know who lived there and was greeted by a kindly looking old lady. When I routinely and without much enthusiaism stated, "Trick or treat," she responded by handing me a piece of religious literature. Go »
Christmas Post #2: I Can See Clearly Now
Flashlights. Useful when the power goes out to help me find where I put the friggin' candles after the last time I lost friggin' power. They won't save the contents of my refrigerator but I can watch as the milk slowly curdles because I don't have TV or a computer. 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.
