Awkward Family Photos

May 28, 2009

We All Have Them.

Ah, awkward family photos. We all have them, I’m sure. Remind me to show you some Christmas photos featuring myself and Steve O in matching mustard cardigans knitted by my mom.

They were cardigans. They were mustard. And they were matching.

This was also round about the time I used to get the shit kicked out of me by a local gang of primary school kids, who would regularly empty my wallet, and make me give off my pants, even on the coldest Winter’s day. Sure, I was 16 at the time, and should have felt utterly humiliated by this, but there were 8 of them, and one of them used to carry around a serrated steak knife that he stole from the local Spur.

Where am I going with this… mustard cardigan… bullied by younger kids… oh yes, awkward family photographs. Have a look at some of these corkers and feel a little bit better about the shit pics you were a part of at your last family reunion.

Grope your sisters inappropriately. Sure, it's a great pose.
