"Show us your 'Ugly' mug"

edited July 21, 2006 in People
I've noticed lately that way too many pretty people and beautiful photographs have appeared in the "People" forum.

I propose a thread for, "the rest of us". A thread for those poor unfortunate wretches who have both a camera and a face capable of wrecking it.

There's already a thread for "Show Us Your Mug!", but they are way too demure for my thinking.

I'm not proposing for anything truly gross or vulgar, unless your were born that way or life changed you.

Making faces, OK.
Bad Lighting, OK.
Bad angle, I don't have a good angle.
Silliness, absolutely!

This is a joke thread, so let's keep it light. Other than that, I'm open to ideas.

Right now, I'm looking for my old Drivers License to scan.

    Well, I couldn't find the DL image I was looking for. I did find my HS Senior ID card, and here is the image from that. (I hope you aren't eating.)

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    Forget it Giselle. This is the wrong sort of contest for you to enter :D

    You have seen some of the butt uglies around here (myself included). You don't stand a chance in an "Ugly Contest"....Laughing.gif Ziggy may even have included you in his "all those pretty people pictures" comment.

    You can shave your head, grow a beard...lol, and make all the dorky faces you want. It won't help. I know it may be difficult to swallow, but you just have to accept the fact that you will never be ugly rolleyes1.gif

    Not to worry, most of us have had many years of practice in perfecting our ugliness lol3.gif

    Actually, if I'd successfully robbed a bank, I'd be shooting with better glass and with a d200 Nikon right now. :giggle

    So far it's been interesting, but it hasn't gotten "ugly".

    Let's review:

    First I offered my own sad image, which I won't show again. It's just too painfull. The ugly girls used to hang around me to look good.

    Giselle, sorry darlin', not even on a bad day (... or a morning after.)

    70403858-D.jpg

    John W (any relation to George Dubya), kind scary, kinda spooky, can't tell if you're ugly.

    70403469-D.jpg

    Samir, If you have somebody like that hangin' off your shoulder, you're not ugly. By the way, is that a camo' suit she's wearin'? 'Cause she's not hidin' much?

    70403466-D.jpg

    Mike, Your neighbors called me. They're moving to the "other" side of town. (Not because you're "ugly" tho)

    70403457-D.jpg

    Matty, You're just too funny to be ugly. (I almost lost my lunch from 2 days ago.)

    70403462-D.jpg

    ====================================================

    I'm sorry folks, I just don't seem to have any competition. Keep 'em coming. There has to be someone, or someone's dog's backside, uglier than me.

    I think it's time for some Rodney Dangerfield wisdom:

    Are you kiddin'? I know I'm ugly. My mother breast-fed me through a straw.
    I have good-looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheats on me.
    I told my doctor I wanted a vasectomy. He said, with a face like mine, I don't need one.
    I was so ugly... When I was born, the doctor slapped my mother!"

    ===================================================

    You're trying to get us both banned for life, aren't you? rolleyes1.gif I just about experienced "the edge of wetness" with that post. I almost laughed out a lung. rolleyes1.gif

    I wonder if Letterman or Leno would be interested? For the sake of all that is good with the world, I'll abstain.
