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.

What Is This, Miami Beach?
Once again, I have to preface this by saying South Dakota snow stories are much more impressive, I'm sure. But here in DC it doesn't get much heavier than this. A couple of feet in a two day period left a lot of snow to be shovelled out of the way. Go »Dumb Criminals And Other Court Type Stuff
Small potpourri of MENSA reject criminals, frivolous lawsuits and just dumb laws. Cupcake Burglar; Cheeseburger Lawsuit; Drunken Sock Eater; Saggy Trouser Law; and Goofy Streaker. The most shocking story to me is this last one in which a victimized Kirsten Dunst had her room burgled and items stolen including a $13,000 handbag. Go »Creepy Halloween Lodgings
These creepy places to stay during a Halloween vacation may be too late to consider this year but they're not going anywhere soon so keep them in mind for the future. You can't stay in all of these places but for those that you can, there's that extra layer of creepiness. The Haunted Hull House in Chicago. Go »Hair's The Thing
I just got back from getting a haircut. I sat in the chair at a local salon and reminisced about my childhood and accompanying my father to his weekly hair trimmings. We went to a pretty old-fashioned Mayberry barbershop in suburban DC that was the Italian version of Floyd's. Go »Oscars 2012
Now that I can make no further changes to my picks, I'd like to hear about the categories people wrestled with most. I struggled most with costume, documentary and even adapted screenplay. Goodl luck everyone! 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.
