So apparently people have been doing this sort of thing for a long time, as evidenced by the existence of the site Jowler, but I just learned about this over the weekend so I’m going to write about it like it’s news.
I threw a BBQ and we played a game called “Shakeface” where you make your face go slack, shake your head as hard as you can, and then take a photo. What you end up with is a picture that looks like what you could look like had you been born with some sort of serious retardation. It’s the best game because it is completely and totally headache inducing and pointless.
Below is my Shakeface.

More after the jump. Photos by good friend Kyle.

matthew: I’m pitching it as a documentary to hbo
But I’m giving you credit
me: hahahaha
matthew: Erin w’s shakeface

me: a documentary about people who got brain damage from drunken shakeface
matthew: Yes
me: sounds awesome
i’ll be the star
matthew: It is
me: and parapalegic now
i’m not and
matthew: You’ll be in it
matthew: Howq big a role you have
Depends on how brain damaged you hget
me: like, 98% of the movie will be dedicated to my struggle
because it gets progressively worse
bc i KEEP DOING SHAKEFACE
matthew: You need a lot of brain damage
me: i cant stop spreading the joy
matthew: Your manager tries to talk you out of doing one last shakeface
me: that’s cool, i’ll shakeface until i’m no longer sure what i’m doing is still shakeface, till i just do it bc it feels right
matthew: For the children
me: exactly!
matthew: But you can’t let them down
And so you wind up a hipster vegetable
Indeedy
me: yeah, instead of a hospital gown i’ll wear amer appar gold leggins and an oversized mickey mouse shirt
matthew: Made out of a hosptial gown
Its pure gold
