GottaHaveIt

While the artistry of photographers like Richard Avedon, Annie Leibovitz, and Yousuf Karsh provides the images of the powerful that will go down in history, TSG actually prefers the work of some more obscure shutterbugs. We’re talking about the countless clerks, cops, and sheriff's deputies who handle the impromptu photo shoots with the rich and famous who’ve landed in the pokey.

Without the aid of fancy lighting, makeup, and wardrobe, these little works of mug shot art--taken with Instamatic, Polaroid, and digital cameras at law enforcement agencies nationwide--are perhaps the most candid photos of celebrities (and other public figures) that you’ll see.

Along with the starlets and superstar athletes, we've included some of TSG's favorite mug shots, images of the not-so-famous that chronicle the rich assortment of American misbehavior.

GottaHaveIt

JeffreyDJ

Is that the Tornado you installed in your intake, or the crazy windy type?

JeffreyDJ

what is that.

future9er24

somday, i hope to have a sitcom based on my own life....

how cool would that be. it'd be like "the Cosby Show"

except will call it "the Sexy Arin Afro Show"

now what station could i get to air such a quality show? hmm


FOX! it'll be on every sunday after niners games!

JeffreyDJ

I was in Walker, texas Ranger. Isn't anyway an Afro show is gonna match that.

future9er24

i'll admit Walker, Texas Ranger was a good show, but c'mon

Chuck Norris <

period. dont argue

JeffreyDJ

Don't be messing with me man. I'll jump an 18 wheeler and land on your II. With only one hand on the wheel.

future9er24

and then the 'fro will absorb you. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!!!

Budders

Family Guy comes on sundays after football games! As great as the sexy arin afro show would be you can't just boot Family GUy out!

EleanorsMine

I'm not a family guy fan... Its just Okay...

Ponderance of the day:

Last night I decided to try a new mexican place(Habaneros, it sucked too saucy not enough cheese) because the kids were gone and I was tired.

Am I the only person on earth who does not think other peoples brats are cute? The banshees were running around like the devil and the parents were like ooooh they are sooooo cute.. WTF?? I keep my kids to myself and don't subject the public to them!

THEN I went into Walmart for some supplies because its like Old Mother Hubbards house in here.........
I went to check out- the brat with its Mama in line in front of me SCREAMING
I WANT A CANDY RING over and over and over.I wanted to throttle them both.

When It was my turn to check out the cashier said- Wasn't he precious? I spoke the truth- I said If that was my kid I would hang myself. Can you believe it pissed off the cashier?

hispony

I'm with you April. Nothing is cute when it's screaming it's head off.
We see this all the time at the store, restaurant, wherever. Employees have been told not to be confrontational, so they can't say anything.
You should see the looks we get when we make a comment about "turning that thing off" regarding a screaming monster.

Scothew

April, which Habaneros did you go to? Everyone i've ever been to has been awesome.

JeffreyDJ

She went to the one with too much sauce and not enough cheese. You know the one.

mizanin

Just Okay??? Are you insane... oh wait, forgot who I was talking to

So you keep your kids in cages. There have been a rash of kids being kept in cages here in C-Town. Seriously, its been on the news. Unbelievable what some people do... I am a firm believer that there should be forced sterilization of people who are too stupid to know how to raise kids. Plus there'd be some good side effects... less stupid people to deal with in everyday life, and the schools would seem better. (Is it just me or do stupid people seem to breed faster and more often than everyone else?)

Well at least you weren't standing in line behind my mother while she was holding me as a kid. I was a hitter, not a screamer. People would say "Aww, aren't you cute?" and I'd punch 'em in the nose. I've always been able tell when people were lying to me

Knight

The show cops doesn't count, they blur your face!

EleanorsMine

The New one in Alabaster. I hate Saucy Mexican Food, and that was more sauce than cheese.

Gimme el Poblano And Del Toro- All Cheesy Good

EleanorsMine

Today was the coolestest day ever.......

The Vp Gave me speakers and Internet Access so I could plug in my Xm online connection

Then he said to get up for a minute so he could put in a zip drive...When he got done, I didn't have a Zip drive, but I did have Eleanor(my) Wallpaper.

What bums me out is I simply adore it there, but so far its still a temporary job

freebass55

My job is only temporary also. Another 25 years and then I have to go.

JeffreyDJ

So, April, can you surf the internet at work now?
