This is actually a yoga position that is somewhat difficult to do! Now, doing it in your undies when you’re a grandpa still makes for a funny photo. But there’s no reason to hate, this guy is in shape!
the backstory is that he was actually superglued by the feet to the wall and was discovered 3 days after he’d booked into the motel by a chambermaid who took the pic – thank god he was a vegetarian.
I am familiar with this position. If you have the right environment it is a perfect position for expelling gas (or “farting position”, as my brothers called it.) You see, the air rises, and in no time you are naturally gas-free. No Beano needed.
The idea of anybody taking a picture of somebody doing a handstand in his underwear in a motel room leads me to one conclusion: there had to be alcohol involved.
The only shot that might have been even stranger than this would be a picture taken from just outside of this motel room of the shadow that gramps would be casting on the curtains.
They NEVER get changed or washed unless they are soaking wet or in some other way ruined. I was a hotel maid once upon a time so I know the drill – get in the room, throw off the spread, change the sheets and put the spread back on. Bleh.
Those of you posting disparaging comments; how many of you can do a headstand? Grandpa appears to be in pretty good shape; he can probably whoop the tar out of you young whipper-snappers!
This is my pic and I don’t have a story really. It’s my grandfather. I don’t even know who took the picture. He travels a lot with friends and traveled with my grandmother until she passed away. So it could have been a friend or my grandmother. He was very athletic when he was younger. He played and reffd football, played basketball, and was a trick waterskiier. I guess he was just showing out or being goofy. What’s funny is that he has no idea I’ve posted this but family will probably tell him. I’m gonna be in trouble. LOL
At the time, he might have been goofing around and not expecting someone to take his picture. And he most certainly wasn’t expecting this picture to show up in public. I think grandfather is going to be angry, ooh.

If it’s a picture of a family member, it’s legitimately a “family photo”. (Now if what you want is awkward photos of family, okay… but that’s not the name of the website).
Really? I mean, how put out are you, for real. It’s free to you, no one signed a contract promising you squat, and gramatically if someone has an awkward family and sends in a photo of uncle chester, then it’s all good and well.
You just gotta pray this was taken with a timer, anyone wittnessing this gent actually getting into that position is gonna be scarred, seriously scarred.

PawPaw, sing the Y.M.C.A. song for me again, pleeeeeeeeeeze……..
Oh.my.gosh!!!!! THis photo wins!!! Face down!
errr, I mean hands down.
Was grandpa doing yoga?
Eek. I never want the answer to “boxers or briefs” if the answer if “briefs”.
hmmm…I think he’d have an easier time on the floor, but go grandpa!
the backstory is that he was actually superglued by the feet to the wall and was discovered 3 days after he’d booked into the motel by a chambermaid who took the pic – thank god he was a vegetarian.
I think he looks kind of hot
OMGPLZNO!
I wonder what other people have done on those hotel bedspreads. This didn’t come to mind, though.
And thats how you keep “cigar” stains away from your undies
“Okay, the blood is rushing to my dome piece at sufficient velocity. Insert the salt lick so that I might heighten the effects of my meditation!”
I think this is my ex-husband…seriously.
Not possible. LOL There is only ONE Poppaw out there, thank God! He also wears short shorts, black knee socks, and brown tennis shoes to mow the lawn…

Yeah, ’cause leaning a little to one side and waving a magazine isn’t effective.
Touché.
Is Grandpa German or something. This is so something my overly athletic German relatives would do. And yes, in their underpants. Grandma, too.
Now he’s in position, Gramps will now drink a glass of water whilst singing the national anthem.
Don’t worry, Nikki! This picture just proves that Grandpa is a Rock Star! Tell him his peeps love him : )
Tighty Whities please stay tight, Tighty Whities please stay tight, Tighty Whities please stay tight, …
Grandpa’s packin’ heat!

“Up side down, boy you turning me, inside out – round and round.”
We’ll leave the light on for ya.
Well, maybe not.
Ha!
What creeps me out is that he is on what looks to be a Motel6 bedspread..Yikes! Warning:Don’t ever touch a motel bedspread.
They NEVER get changed or washed unless they are soaking wet or in some other way ruined. I was a hotel maid once upon a time so I know the drill – get in the room, throw off the spread, change the sheets and put the spread back on. Bleh.
Possibly the most disturbing cure for hiccups ever witnessed.
Uhhhhhh
Yeah, hey, does dad know?!

DeAnna, payback is HELL!!! ROFL!
Well, he must know what he’s doing…for a grandpa, he seems to be in prety good shape
Sirsasana. Not a very smart idea to practise on a mattress, though. Lack of balance, as figure shows.
awkward, you call this awkward? i call it downright disturbing!! oy vey ~

That’s too funny, Nikki. Thanks for sharing. But why in his underwear? Just wondering if he couldn’t have put on some pajama bottoms or something.
I have continually asked myself the same question since I found this picture. I’m seriously scarred for life…
At the time, he might have been goofing around and not expecting someone to take his picture. And he most certainly wasn’t expecting this picture to show up in public. I think grandfather is going to be angry, ooh.
I don’t think it would qualify as awkward if he had his old-guy jammies on….
On the bright side….at least he’s in good shape and his underwear aren’t torn or stained!!

Tighty Whitey Good God Almighty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nikki I can’t believe you put Poppaw on here. I’m tellin him
LOLOLOLOL!!!
We now return to “Road Trip with Ace and Gary”.
LMAO!!! “NOW what are you looking at?!?”
He must be a …tiger? … in bed!
Where is the family in this photo. I’m getting annoyed by the frequent awkward family photos sans family.
If it’s a picture of a family member, it’s legitimately a “family photo”. (Now if what you want is awkward photos of family, okay… but that’s not the name of the website).

Annoyed? Wow.
Seriously. Away with you, ‘lame’. Go grump up some other schadenfreude-fueled website.
I’m so very sorry that my extremely awkward picture of my mostly naked grandfather displaying his junk isn’t good enough for you.
I find that seeing Grampa in his scivvies is awkward enough…..
Thanks, Nikki. Can’t stop laughing. Hurts.
His junk?
Umm, I never saw nothing like that on Antiques Roadshow…
…just sayin’…
Nicki~ This comeback might be even better than the picture! Good job! Off topic~ has anyone else been inexplicably blocked from afp?
HAAAAHAHA! Love it.
Lame – and yes you are lame….there’s an “X” in the upper right-hand corner where, if you click on it, AFP will close. Sheesh.
It’s also the last time you will ever sleep without nightmares!
Well at least he’s in enough shape to do this!
Man, he is gonna hurt himself!
A recent photo of Jack Laanne? (he’s still alive, BTW!)
I think they call this “Yo-gag”.
HAHAHAHA!!!
wow. that was an epic fail response.
Could be worse…I mean, he IS wearing underwear.
Wow. I’m not sure I’d want you for a roomie if you took a picture of me in my undies. Put the camera away Nikki and let grandad do his yoga.
Not sure I’d want to be the roomie of someone who would do this with another person in the room!!
maybe it’s me but that’s just creepy
Obviously a homesick Australian ….
HA!
You just gotta pray this was taken with a timer, anyone wittnessing this gent actually getting into that position is gonna be scarred, seriously scarred.
You are right. YEEEEEARS of therapy will not erase that–I feel like I need therapy after just seeing the picture, much less being in the same room.
WTF*
Well, at least his underpants are clean!
AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL!!!!!
Downward facing OMG.
LOL!!
LMAO – better than the caption!
ROTFLMAO!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH yes def better than the caption
We neeeeeeeeed the story!!!
