Time to play another game of NAME THE CRIME FOR THE MUGSHOT, with pictures courtesy of MUGSHOT DU JOUR.
The game is easy – look at the mugshot, then determine what the crime the person is being accused of. It’s fun for the whole family!
Here’s something for you to do at your next family reunion – you know all those old childhood photos that you have lying around the house or in some photo album buried somewhere?
Now that you have all the participants together again, why not try to recreate the photo in as close to place, pose, and outfits as you can.
Then, post those photos up at THEN AND NOW PHOTOS. Join the party!
If you have kids and want to laugh at other parents’ misery, you will want to check out ONE GOOD THING’s HUMILIATING MOMENTS IN PARENTING blog, if only for this one classic part of the post:
For hands-down humiliation, however, I haven’t yet been able to top my neighbor’s misery, when his three year old daughter interrupted his poker game by running naked into the room and screaming with a joyous voice of discovery, “DADDY! DID YOU KNOW? I COME WITH MY OWN POCKET! AND IT CAN HOLD A PEN! LOOK!”
Have you met “Ray the Computer Guy”?
He posted an ad (since removed) on popular Internet classifieds site Craigslist offering TO FIX COMPUTERS IN EXCHANGE FOR SEX.
His payscale was pretty basic: for guys, he’d only take cash. For women, he’d leave it up to their discretion.
Basic repairs that were done in 15 minutes, he’d take a foot massage.
Do you know what HOUSEBLINGING is?
It’s the art of decorating a house for the holidays with the gaudiest, brightest, tackiest displays of… well, stuff.
I’m talking about the stuff that would make a house one of the regular stops on your family’s annual Tacky Light Tour drive-by.
We’re talking lights that can be seen from orbit, they’re so bright.
A light display that puts the Las Vegas Strip to shame.
Yeah, buddy – we’re talking about your house.
Ever wanted to pull off your own viral Internet hoax?
The Internet has made coming up with new and original ideas easy. Check out THE MUSEUM OF HOAXES for a list of stunts that have already been pulled off, and then think about putting your own unique spin on the event.
Still, trying to come up with a unique hoax idea or wacky news item that hasn’t been done before has been made more difficult by the proliferation of those forwarded emails that everyone must have received at some time or other. Just because your friend has sent you an email with a news item in it does not mean that the news item in question is true. As is often the case, the person forwarding the email may not have checked their facts before sending it. Remember – even though you were sent that forwarded email from a trusted friend or family member, they could have been duped somewhere along the way. You should always check your sources as well.
Have you ever seen something in the newspaper or heard something on the news that just didn’t seem right to you? News reporters are supposed to check and double-check their facts before reporting things, right?
Just ask The New York Times and ABC News anchor Peter Jennings what happened to them in the winter of 1999, when they had a report on mistranslated Chinese movie titles.
