jowlingYou’re walking around thinking you’re all cool because you’re in the loop on all the fucked up shit in the world, then suddenly someone walks up and jowls right in your face. That’s what happened to me a couple of weeks ago at the Knitting Factory gig.

After our set, I was mingling with friends. My old buddy Joe (my college roomate) walked up to Momo and asked her to take a picture of him. As she framed up the shot, he started shaking his head violently. The flash went off and this was the result (the pic on the left).

Joe explained that it’s a goofy trick called “jowling”. There’s even a website devoted to it - jowlers.com. Here’s how it works: grab a camera, make sure the flash is on, aim the camera at your face, loosen up your lips and shake your head side to side, then take the pic.

Don’t say I never taught you anything.
