I was in Home Depot yesterday walking behind three employees. One of them was emphatically describing pushing a woman under his car and praying the police didn't appear. Another of the employees saw me and told the story teller, "Hey O.J., chill out."
Something clicked and I had to figure out what O.J. was thinking when he led a commando style raid in Vegas. Obviously, a partial thought was, "I hope this actually stay in Vegas." I figured if someone were to read his most recent mugshot, they could compare to the famous O.J. mugshot and see the different in "facial attitude" for a glimpse at his thoughts. He went from stern O.J. in the 90's to a happy go lucky look in his most recent shot.
Likewise, Mike Tyson went from serious in '04 to sticking his tongue out in '06.
This made me think about how I want my mugshot to look. I don't plan on being arrested any time soon, but the possibility is always out there. What kind of a mugshot do I want to be remembered by?
Here are a few choices, of course it depends on the charges I face (I wouldn't want to be smiling in a felonious mugshot).
If I get arrested on serious charges, I think I go with my best contrite look (look up Senator Craig's mug or the "Young O.J. mug), but if it's a charge like jaywalking or scalping tickets I could go for the Mel Gibson, Kimora Simmons, '07 O.J. or Rush Limbaugh smiling look.
