First of all, this is not me.
If this was a picture of me, there would be paramedics on the way before the pixels were dry.
This is a shot of my nephew Aaron in one of his many impromptu contortions -- and after drinking his own body weight in rum [or whatever else was being handed out wholesale] at my niece's wedding.
If this was a picture of me, the next frame would show split pantaloons.
And again, ambulances and things like that. Much blood. Possibly exposed entrails.
But I include it here in this weekend's Saturday Snapshot to remind us all of how wonderful it is be young and agile and half-insane [and drunk].
Aaron is a wild child, the youngest son of my brother. At yet another wedding, I will never forget him entertaining us all outside of the venue with a rendition of his alter-persona, which he calls "Professor X".
I laughed so hard, again -- it very nearly required a 911 call on my behalf.
I think the kid is schizophrenic.
Vive le youth!
Thank you Alyce, for hosting this terrific Saturday Snapshot meme @ At Home With Books.

He's pretty flexible! Looks like it was a fun party.
Nothing like a bit of rum courage!
He would enjoy Book Savvy's Oktoberfest too :-)
Being young he probably woke up without a hangover either!
Pretty amazing indeed.
Aaron may be flexible, but you caught a great photo. Good job getting him in the air like that. Here's Mine
Goodness, how very athletic! You've really caught the movement, and the feeling of exuberance. My Snapshot is at http://goo.gl/DncFP
Good capture!
Aren't weddings fun?! I used to be able to do cartwheels, but not anymore . . . maybe after some rum, though? ;)
Ah for the days of youth, agility, and temporary insanity. Fun!!
Thanks for sharing...and here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
LOL, you can start an album called "wedding shenanigans" and this picture will be perfect :) Sounds like a fun party! Book Savvy Babe
He sounds like quite the character!
The affection of the agile kid's uncle seeps through the post. Sounds like a memorable event.
Can one live precariously while living vicariously?
Off topic:
Now don't be stingy, Cipriano,
and publish the blogroll with pixies. ;-)

Vive le youth indeed.
He appears to be having a wonderful time!
Haha! Does he remember 'striking a pose'? Nothing like a good family party to break down the inhibitions!
Great capture♫ Happy week end♫
Ah yes, I used to be young and agile too.
Thank you, one and all, for visiting my blog.
