2009 was yet another year filled with events that amazed, saddened, and excited the world. I compiled a selection of the best Pictures Of The Year 2008 last year, and this year I’ll do the same, starting with the same tag line:

Unlike those flimsy Forumla 1 cars that cannot handle a bit of rain (i.e. Malaysia), these Turffontein Racing Snails don’t just have the speed, but also the grip!

I took the following picture during the South Africa vs. Australia Cricket Test Match in Johannesburg, South Africa.
During the lunch break, the pitch is open to the public, and the green arena becomes the playground for kids, parents, drunkards, and random dress-ups. Whilst walking back to my seat, a young couple came walking towards me, dressed up as a priest and what looked like a prostitute. They saw my camera and started posing, when suddenly the lady in the immoral prossy outfit asked if I’d like to see how the Pope spanks a Hooker. I agreed to this, lifted my viewfinder towards my right eye, and witness a holy spanking in the middle of Wanderers stadium!
I took this picture because I was intrigued by the subject matters – the combination of the young woman smiling and waving a Chinese fan, and the old, mafia-looking geezer chilling behind her…
However, after editing the pic, and uploading it to flickr, I noticed an odd looking chap in the pic – I swear the dude looks like Napoleon Dynamite!
Location: Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg, South Africa
I came across this mysterious Vintage Polaroid iPhone Photo, of what appears to be Elvis Presley and a Pimp. Any guesses who these two dodgy characters might be?
