Funny mugshot of flexible faced man

This fellow is named Robert Morin. There's a warrant out for his arrest in Lewiston, Maine, where he's been charged with domestic assault. According to the Smoking Gun, a jail administrator said that when Morin "removed his teeth, he became very flexible." Fortunately, there's another mugshot available where Morin doesn't screw up his face in such a fantastic way.

Thanks for this :). I actually have an Uncle Bob who lives in Maine, and I'm going to enjoy sending that mugshot to my relatives.

I do believe the official term is gurning. it was a popular cut-down in the 80's. I remember being quite thrilled at finding the source of the term. kinda like geeks being chicken head biters. fun stuffs.

...Well, now we know what happened to Swee'Pea when he grew up. Just more proof that adopted kids *can* take on the physical characteristics of the foster parent if adopted early enough!

Hooray for Maine! This is what, the third thing you guys caught on there this week? You've been missing some great stories, let me tell you. My friends seem to think they're not "appropriate conversation" but whatever.

Little Green, gurning goes back to long before the 80s.

This fellow needs to get himself to the World Gurning Championships in Egremont, Cumbria, England.

What the hell are the admins thinking, scrambling posts??? WTF?? What small-minded pettiness!

[#13 posted by cank, January 31, 2008 7:24 PM]

Scrambling an innocuous comment like the one I made above is pretty lame. It's especially lame considering how many posts Cory Doctrow makes per day about various freedoms on the internet being compromised.

Fucking A. And his best rejoinder when people point that out is 'don't complain about free ice cream'

I imagine this post will exist for like twenty minutes, but whatever

Yeah, I grew up in that town and looking at the second picture I've definitely seen that guy before. I miss Maine :)

I know the term gurning is as old as the hills. Big side show attraction in the 30's. I just meant that I remember the term being thrown around as an insult in the 80's. I don't hear it anymore, but I don't hang out on the playground as much anymore either.
