...I think it's safe to say that Meredith and my TEAM UGLY FACE prevailed. The best thing about "UGLY FACE" is that it usually always leads to you making friends with people who overhear you laughing and are like "Yo, what the FUCK are you guys doing?" And then after you explain their like "Oh..."

Miriam's ugly-face! Pretty good for a first attempt! Color me impressed!
ugly face
My ugly face! (Hahahah. Jesus. I know I've done this face like a million times and I should be used to it...but even I've got to say that this particular instance is shockingly ugly!
ugly face
Then things got U-G-L-Y! Here's Miye's ugly face.

Meredith (who is totally touching her lip to her nose in this photo. Success!) and her baby cousin Hank.
ugly face
Hahahah.

On Thursday night Ellen came over to hang. We did the yoosh. Watched TV, made stupid faces.
ugly face
Not too bad, though.
ugly face
I tried to get her to make a really ugly face for me, but we were in a tiny, crowded restaurant and she was too shy to really give me something ugly.
ugly face
And this one. Eric George in the higgity, yo.
ugly face
All together now!
ugly face
Nice!
ugly face
I asked Scott (aka - the MisShapes photographer who took most of the photos that ended up in the MisShapes book!) to give me some uggz.
ugly face
Chubb-neck!
ugly face
Hahaha.
ugly face
Excellent use of the "floater eye!"
ugly face
Hahaha.
ugly face
This is her best ugly-face. (Pretty disappointing if you ask me).

Two of Jack's lady friends that were there also wanted in on the action. I took a bunch of pictures of this girl, and this is the ugliest one she managed. (Boooo!)
ugly face
Jack came into the back room where we were all holed up and was like "Uh, there's a party going on, dudes. Why are you all hiding out in my bedroom by yourselves?" So I explained that we were busy taking dumb pics of ourselves making ugly faces and didn't want to impose our lameness on the rest of the party. Then I showed him this face.
ugly face
Jack was immediately like "Sweet! Let me me try!" This is a pretty excellent first attempt at an ugly face! He even managed to make one of his eyes drift off a bit. (Unless he's not doing that on purpose - in which case, I'm sorry for mentioning it, Jack). And thanks for inviting us to your party!
ugly face
I made my trademark "disappearing chin" face and Missy was awestruck by the wrinkles of skin that were bunching up around my (missing!) jawline.
ugly face
Then a mythical creature showed up and confused everyone into no longer making faces.
ugly face
...fierce kitty-cat deathmatch!
ugly face
It was a monkey verses...
ugly face
Grant upped the ante and busted out his famous "check out my skull" move...
ugly face
...and when Ellen countered with the same face, it was clear that was turning into an "any ugly face you can make I can make better" SHOWDOWN!
ugly face
Grant gave his own interpretation of Ellen's "diagonal mouth" and reversed the direction!
ugly face
Then, Ellen made this face and a full-on "make the ugliest face you can" contest broke out!
ugly face
Just because you don't want to willingly participate in an ugly face contest doesn't necessarily mean that you're off the hook. Hahah.
ugly face
Grant gives Missy "pignose."
ugly face
I don't even remember if any of us even knew this guy - but that didn't mean we weren't going to welcome him to join our private, face-making party in the back room! Come one, come all! Show yer vampire face!
ugly face
Gurj's vampire face looked a lot like her David Brent face. "Mmmmm. Shame."
ugly face
...another stupid face contest broke out. If I remember correctly, this one was about making your best "vampire face." Here's mine.
ugly face
Here's Leigh's. (You have to imagine the loud hissing noises we're each making as you view these.)
ugly face
HISSSSSSSSS!
ugly face
Liz's ugly-face.
ugly face
And here's one I call "Dr. Shit-Teeth."
ugly face
Grant and I busted out some cake-related ugly-faces. Here's one called "the messy eater."
ugly face
Amanda's ugly-face.
ugly face
Jen brought it back to 3rd grade and busted out the classic "Boar Face." Mad props, yo.
ugly face
I love how Gurj goes from looking like an Oompa Loompa when she does smoosh-face to looking like...
ugly face
Hahahaha.
ugly face
Then I showed off one of my old favorites. This is the stretch-face with a floater-eye thrown in for good measure. Ok ladies, your turn!
ugly face
Here's me showing the girls one of newer, experimental faces. I call this one Dr. Dry Lip.
ugly face
I can't remember if this photo is an attempt of Gurj and Ellen's friend to join in the game or whether she just really disapproved of how lame we were being. Hahah.

With the warm-ups over, it was time to make some ugly faces. Here's Ellen going for the classic "I smell dogshit" face! Nice!
ugly face
...and Ellen countered with a severe "I'm a Level 64 Night-Elf and I also L.A.R.P. on the weekends" elf-ear! That's some advanced shit!
ugly face
Gurj went for a more modern interpretation of the "pushing a big dook" face.

....old school Missy Elliot when she does stretch-face. Hahahahahaha. (Gurj, you even have the right earrings on!)
ugly face
No, more like THIS! Hahaha.
ugly face
I was trying to explain to Leigh and Meredith that making your chin disappear into your neck is a pretty surefire way to produce and ugly face.
ugly face
Ellen looks like the grinch when she makes her ugly face! Hahah.
ugly face
David's brother did pretty good, though.
ugly face
David's shake-face doesn't look all that much different from David's normal face.
ugly face
Yours truly!
ugly face
Grant! Hahah. Bonus points for managing to maintain eye-contact with the camera!
ugly face
The ugly face game quickly gave way to the "shake your head back and forth as fast as you can and take a picture of it with the flash on" game. Here's Fatty's rubberface.
ugly face
Meredith's.
ugly face
Amanda's shake-face.
ugly face
Of course, everyone there was happy to show off their ugliest face. Here's Grant's.
ugly face
Amanda's! Which inspired Grant to...
ugly face
The Fatty's.
ugly face
...re-do his.
ugly face
Mandy adds to the Ugliest Face collection!
ugly face
Saturday night I ran into Amber and when I asked her "What's the ugliest face you can make?", this was her answer!
ugly face
After everyone had given it their best, I busted out my showstopper. Just when I thought I was the undisputed champ...
ugly face
This guy was a friend of Sarah and Karen's and here's the two of them helping him out with his face! Haha.

Jenny Penny started out a little weak...

Jessica was there and she got in on it!

...Andrew Borin shows up to the party and pulls out this masterpiece. First he ends up rocking the entire Landmark Theater with the "Top That" rap and then he wins the ugly face contest? Christ, what can't this kid do? (This was almost as big of an upset as when Josh Teixeira won the "Matt Weiner Ugly Face Contest of 2002").
ugly face
Karen's wasn't all that ugly so I had Sarah take a picture of me giving her some help. Hahahah.
ugly face
Here's Meredith's. She definitely didn't need any help! Hahaha.
ugly face
Then I started showing off some of the advanced techniques I used to subtely sabotage "glamour shots" (because you can't always make a totally ridiculous, over-the-top face). Here's me demonstrating how, with a little practice, you can learn to cross just one eye a tiny bit and make it look like you have a floater-eye!
ugly face
Here's Sarah's. And the pupil (no pun intended!) surpasses the teacher.
ugly face
Here's Karen's.
ugly face
After Teen Witch, Meredith and I went over to Orchard Bar to dance and say hi to Sarah and Karen and I immediately started challenging people to make the "ugliest face possible." Here's Sarah's. Hahahahah. AMAZING!
ugly face
Then we made our sexy faces.
ugly face
David and I retired Blue Steel and decided to spend the night taking pictures pretending that we'd both just caught a whiff of fresh dogshit.
ugly face
Hahahaha.
ugly face
Ellen has a pigface.
ugly face
I guess that's it for February 2005. Woot woot!
ugly face
Eureka! This one's perfect. Holy shit we're fucking ugly. No wonder neither of us can ever get laid!
ugly face
Mine's even better in this pic but Siege is looking downright cute. That won't do at all!
ugly face
Outside Siege and I tried to make the ugliest faces that we could. Pretty good.
ugly face
..their ugliest faces. Pretty, pretty, pretty, pret-ty good. Haha.
ugly face
This isn't from New Year's, but it was one of the pics that Katie sent around with the other pics she took of the night and I thought this would be as good a place as any to re-post it.
ugly face
First ugly-face of the year!

Then kicked it into high gear and made some really stupid faces.
ugly face
Hahahahah. Holy fuck. Who knew Justin Timberlake had a brother with Down's Syndrome?
ugly face
That evening we all put on our most festivest Christmas sweaters (check out the bright green v-neck I dug up in my dad's closet)...
ugly face
Smoosh-face Jamie.
ugly face
Me, resurrecting my impression of Ricky Schroeder with Down's Syndrome, and Jen.
