Vote for your favorite photo (by number) in the comments below!

Hard to dicide.. I go for 19

Anonymous Anonymous said...

Picture number three is genetic. I can do it along with many members of my family. Some people find it disgusting, but, also because I can it do, find it funny.

___  
Anonymous Tangle said...

number 25 gets MY vote. But 44 is a close runner up- and jeez, I'd probably have an expression like that if I wore a dress which was giving me a mammogram all day.

Blogger Jesse said...

19!

Anonymous Anonymous said...

If you're including Photoshop fakes, then #4 gets my vote.

Blogger Anubis_Priest said...

I vote for #19: The expression seems the most spontaneous and almost unintentional in the photo. The balloon object seems like the main focus of the shot.

Anonymous Bunglebus said...

It's got to be no.25, that's scary!

Anonymous Anonymous said...

#4 is not a Photoshop as such. It's from a screensaver released by a UK ad agency a couple of years ago that randomly took different parts of people's faces to come up with an aggregate one like the one here. Wish I could remember the name of the company ...

#5 is from the 2000 U.S. Florida election debacle.

Anonymous Anonymous said...

19. He's got to be hired as an extra for the next big monster flick!

___  
Blogger Cor said...

I actually know #19. That pic was taken during a balloon-toss activity at a fraternity convention. I assure you he doesn't always look like that. :)

___  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Definitely 19. It's just so classic.

___  
Blogger WalkerTalker & Bronco610 said...

#19 is best... but I have to say #23 is kinda creepy although I can't say why? And if I was the kid in #31 I know I'd start wailing!
BTW, enjoy the blog very much, keep it up guys.

Anonymous Jamo said...

Number 35 looks like a young Farva (Kevin Heffernan).

Anonymous mr.gene said...

very nice pictures :)

fake or not - it's funny

___  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

#25 looks like a waxwork-type sculpture. Maybe at some sort of themed tourist attraction?

___  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

28 has quite the pimpin 'stache :D he gets my vote.

___  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

52 upper right leaves me laughing hard

___  
Blogger Johnny Crow said...

#19 and then #35

Both classic and in the moment, oh and HILARIOUS!

___  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Wow, so many good ones! 25 is definitely my top pick- it had me ROFL. 37's a close second though.

Anonymous Anonymous said...

57 got it beat!!!
