"Jowling," (sometimes known as "slap n' flap") is a little hard to capture well, but always fun to view.
How do you do it? Get your subject to relax their facial muscles completely (to the point that they have no facial expression). Then, while staying relaxed, have them open their eyes and mouth (and try to keep them open) and shake their head from side to side as fast as they can. Start snapping (use a flash and fast shutter speed to freeze the 'action')!
Well at least someone finally entered something to match this theme that takes on an artistic perspective and and doesn't just look like they're suffering from a stoke. So far, you got my vote for the win. GL!
Thanks for the compliments everyone I was trying to figure out how I could do something different, it took quite a few shots to get it right and of course I had to do it in B&W
@ Karaflazz and Itsmymoment, you two are my pxl idols so I'm very happy that you approve!
Haha! nice 1! Definitely getting high marks for originality. GL!

Thanks Jaws...I really had to work to even get this one...he was less than cooperative and it took almost an hour of waiting for "the moment" to happen...
