The presence of Kelly halfway through the list makes me wonder if the writer didn’t get taken for a bit of a ride. ---

How can something be so full of fail, yet, so full of win? 😃 Thanks for sharing. ---

I’ve never heard of Kelly or Liam Sullivan, but looking at his wikipedia page, he must have gone to high school with my brother (a few years behind me). Huh. I’ll have to ask my brother if he remembers him - Sullivan seems like the memorable type. ---

Maybe for square folk. I don’t know anyone my age who’s not familiar with Shoes and the comedian has been in various mainstream productions. ---

These are great, I love the mullet family about halfway down. That kid’s mullet could change _lives_. I know it’s changed mine. ---

OK. I’m glad that Kelly person is intentionally hideous. It makes me hope the same is true for some of those other people. ---

> [@Munch](#): > > That’s a pretty loose use of the word “famous”. He was in Weezer’s _Pork and Beans_ video, that’s famous by Internet standards. Right up there with Tay Zonday and Chris Crocker! As to “her” being in the Daily Mail’s article. All media, not just low end stuff like the DM, are getting really sloppy on vetting their pics. My favorite recent example was People Magazine showing a pic of another astronaut in their tribute to [Neil Armstrong](http://www.wcpo.com/dpp/news/science_tech/Wrong-photo-published-in-Neil-Armstrong-tribute-in-People-magazine). The DM doesn’t even do minimal copy editing of their articles, forget researching anything. (Saw one today where they had an unmatched single quote in the title and a sentence that broke off midway thru.) ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > [Oh my.](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2138816/Heres-happens-glamour-modelling-goes-wrong-.html) From the very first pic, with its subliminal message of “…hmmm. Now, what can I cut off first…?” this just got better & better. I liked “Mossberg Girl” for its daring “…the gloves maybe be for the CSI team, but this 12-gauge is for You, babe!” boldness. My only disappointment was that I thought that all of these people had been turned into mice & killed at the end of “[The Witches](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100944/)”… ---

Anyone else notice anything wrong with Mr. M-16’s rifle? :smack: And Gun Girl has gloves I suspect for trap/skeet. Shoot a thousand rounds a day and see if you don’t put some on as well!😉 ---

> [@ducati](#): > > Anyone else notice anything wrong with Mr. M-16’s rifle? :smack: It works great for those fancy trick-shooting upside down shots. 😉 “Hey, you sure the barrel is supposed to spin around like this?” “Of Course! It shows its the classic original 1966 version. You just load that clip & I’ll be down in the bunker with beers for after you’re “done”…” > [@ducati](#): > > And Gun Girl has gloves I suspect for trap/skeet. Shoot a thousand rounds a day and see if you don’t put some on as well!😉 Well, to be fair it was summer, but none if the people I saw had gloves. Or long sleeve shirts (it gets hot). But 1000 rounds? Thats 40 boxes! Now I’m picturing her showing up on a date with her 12 gauge while dragging a duffel bag of shells. And after, when she leaves, carrying her 12 gauge while dragging a gooey dripping duffel bag… :eek: ---

I’m not Russian, but I know an AK-47 when I see it. The front sight is upside down. I’m assuming that this is a prop gun since the front sight is securely mounted to the barrel on the [real thing](http://thegamershub.net/wp-content/uploads/M16_asg_w.jpg).
