These 24 Animals Would Have Been Voted Most Photogenic At My High School

Picture day only comes once every school year, but the results can haunt you for the rest of your adult life.

My best friend and I spent the other night looking through old yearbooks and began mocking just how un-photogenic we were. Despite prepping days in advance, picking out the right outfit and posing in front of the mirror, without fail, when it came time to say cheese, something went wrong.

Wearing glasses in high school always meant that my photos came with the added bonus of a reflective glare. But not everyone can be so lucky to be remembered as the squinting guy that looks like the sun’s in his eyes. In fact, most people are quite a bit more photogenic than they think. Even their pets can pull off better school photos than I can.

With that said, here are 24 animals that would have surely been voted most photogenic in my high school’s yearbook.

1. Every freshman during their first school photo of high school — bright-eyed and fresh-faced.

2. His mother threatened him for a good school photo, after he wasted his other eight lives.

3. Picture day means sporting your hottest outfit.

4. “I just pulled an all-nighter, so if you could hurry this up, that would be great.”

5. This dignified pooch practiced his poses in the mirror before stepping in front of the camera.

6. *Please don’t go cross-eyed, please don’t go cross-eyed.*

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCI1_BTF’); });

7. She had a hard time deciding which dress would make her eyes pop.

8. #2COOL4SCHOOL

9. “They said to dress nice, but this is all I had.”

10. “CHEESE!”

11. The mid-sneeze photo is the worst.

12. Someone’s having a bad hair day.

13. That head-tilt, though.

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCI2_BTF’); });

14. “I can’t believe my mom made me dress up for this!”

15. This hippie pup made sure to accessorize for her school photos.

16. “Can I take this stupid thing off yet?”

17. “I’ll pose for this picture, right after I finish finding that bone I buried.”

18. “I’m ready for my close-up.”

19. She spent all that time perfecting her hair, only to blink when the flash went off!

20. Is this a school photo, or the movie poster for a “Dances with Wolves” remake?

21. This brings a whole new meaning to teacher’s pet.

22. Straight up cheezin’!

23. This kitty’s perfected the smize.

24. This pup brought some serious swag to his school photos.

Since high school, I’ve stepped up my selfie game a bit, but after looking at these photogenic animals, I think my posing could use some work.

Larry the Cable Guy speaks to critics angered by Obamacare jokes [video]

Comedian Larry the Cable Guy was on Fox News with Sean Hannity where he made some jokes about Obamacare, and he obviously got some backlash.

Larry tweeted a couple of the jokes last month, and Twitchy covered them, but today he repeated the jokes just to show his Twitter followers the kinds of things that get under the skin of the Left:

Here’s a brief clip from Larry the Cable Guy’s appearance on Hannity:

Larry later engaged a critic who was first concerned enough to warn him that he was in danger of shrinking his fan base because of his jokes about Obamacare (according to polls, Obamacare is the one with the shrinking fan base, not Larry the Cable Guy).

And it’s not against the law to laugh at the jokes either.

‘Ever heard of these guys?’ Rep. Mica has some advice for Secret Service [photo]

http://twitter.com/#!/jmurd911/status/516993041077633025

During today’s House Oversight Committee hearing with Secret Service director Julia Pierson, GOP Rep. John Mica asked a question:

John Mica now holding up an ADT sign at the OGR hearing on the Secret Service. "Have you ever heard of these guys?" he asks Dir. Pierson

"Ever heard of these guys?" Rep. Mica asks USSS Dir. Pierson as he holds up an ADT security sign suggesting it'd help protect the WH

— Alex Moe (@AlexNBCNews) September 30, 2014

John Mica just suggested an ADT sign and "inexpensive vegetation" to boost security at the WH.

— Simon Maloy (@SimonMaloy) September 30, 2014

Can’t be any worse than the security they’ve got now, right?

@John Mica holding up at ADT sign and making the @secretservice look incompetent.

Well, to be fair, the Secret Service has done a pretty good job of that on their own. Still, though, it’s hard to pass up an opportunity to pour more salt on the Secret Service’s gaping self-inflicted wound.

Rep. Mica: ever heard of this guys? holding ADT sign lol priceless
