My Funny Valentine: WEDDING PICTURES

 

 

My Funny Valentine: Couple kisses mid-handstand and a llama photobombs newlyweds in hilariously awkward family photos

 

Love is patient and kind according to the famous Corinthians verse, but love is also strange as evidenced by the portraits on AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com.

In addition to the run-of-the-mill awkward group shots, many have submitted their own relationship-themed photos to the site from weddings, engagements and lovey-dovey mall photo shoots.

The photos show a spectrum of weird relationships from a man biting his girlfriend's ear in one professional shot to newlyweds tossing chicken carcasses in their wedding shoot.

The photo set is hilarious, and endearing at the same time - proving even weirdos can find true love.

It's supposed to be the happiest day of your life, so what better way to celebrate your wedding than by posing as centaurs to demonstrate your love? Or riding a giant swan? Or perhaps fleeing a fire-throwing Transformer?

From the crude, to the rude, to the downright bizarre, these Russian newlyweds certainly know how to put the fun in wedding function.

Many rely heavily on post-production, whether it's shrinking a bride or blowing up a church, while others are just forensically choreographed happiness.

And when the special day is over, they will take their places in family albums so future generations can know who their ancestors really were.

Cars feature strongly - in one picture the couple's faces are superimposed on the wheels as they begin the journey on the family road to happiness.

Design and Construction of Flying Aircraft Carriers with SWARMS of ‘Gremlin' drones My (BWB) blended wing body circular design will make it look like a flying saucer with hull and wing thickness of 25 inches or more making it indestructible in heavy seas, unlike the Russian design.  A pro totype was even tested in the 1950's, but today with computers and light materials of construction  we can build huge air ships more than 600' in diameter. Project 1794 is from the early 50's, by the United States Air Force and AVRO Aircraft. It used to be secret, but in 2012 the information has been declassified. I was really hyped when I found these two reports online at the National Archives, placed a link on my IFO site so that others could find it, but it didn't really get picked up. Kind of understand why: on the National Archives these pictures are not that easy to view, and they didn't color correct the scans. The video I made here is ...

KOREAN WAR 1950-1953: INTO THE FIRE

  KOREAN WAR 1950-1953   ( AP) The war that began in Korea 60 years ago, on June 25, 1950, a ghastly conflict that killed millions and left the peninsula in ruins, became “The Forgotten War” in many American minds. To a shrinking corps of aging men, however, the soldiers of Korea 1950-53, it can never be forgotten. It damaged many physically, scarred many mentally, and left men questioning their commanders’ and their nation’s wisdom. They fought many enemies – not just the North Koreans and Chinese, but also the heat, the killing cold and the cursed hills, the thirst, hunger and filth, the incompetence and hubris of their own army, and the indifference of an American homeland still fixed on the “good” war, World War II, that had ended five years earlier. In a wartime arc of desperation, triumph, retreat and final stalemate in Korea, no U.S. division sacrificed as much as the 2nd Infantry Division, losing more than 7,000 killed, one-fifth of total 36,516 U.S. dead...
