No, it's not a scene from Napoleon Dynamite, it's a picture of me from Jaipur, India. Apparently this photo is much more humorous than I'd realized. I thought it was cool... there are persons who I will not identify who thought it looked ridiculous. So, I thought I'd put it up to a vote. In the comments section of this post, please submit your vote - ridiculous, or ridiculously awesome?

Ridicously AWESOME!!
Absolutely fan-tastic!
ridiculously awesome and edgy...glad the cobras are NOT looking your way because you are not making eye contact with them...
The photo is deceptive - they actually are looking my way. Don't worry though, before I got within 10 feet of them, I ensured there was no risk! Apparently they either remove the gland that produces the venom, remove the fangs, or both (the charmers' English wasn't so hot). I'm not sure how the snakes are able to eat, but I was assured that the people who depend upon their animals for an income (like the charmers and the elephant guy) treat their animals very well since it's their source of income.
I have a feeling their definition of good treatment is very different from mine, though. The elephant looked decidedly unhappy and kept trying to walk away, but I can't claim to be an expert in elephant psychology. I guess it's better than getting poached? Rationalizing here...
Gramma and I both would like to vote for ridiculously awesome!!
so rediculously awesome!
I applaud the free spirit and affinity for native experiences. Self-conscious reserve is an affliction that imprisons the modern man.
Ridiculously Awesome!
