Signs of the Impending Apocalypse: #1,546

Photo of me in my monkeysuit

What's worse, I actually own it.

I thought about making this a caption contest, but you guys are too ruthless.

Awesome!

Was that what you used to wear to work when you were the el jefe at that now defunct oil company you slaved for?

Looking good my Texan friend...Looking good! :)

Very nice! When do the nice folks from the Ian Fleming estate get in touch with you about saving us all from the tyranny of Daniel Craig?

Now we just need some dancing video.

(And Tim owns one too. Cause in my addled little mind I thought if we spent the extra to buy one then I could guilt him into actually, you know, wearing it. So far? Not so much. But hey, it's in the closet.)

Are you going out for coffee? ;-)

Posted by: gwynne at July 17, 2007 08:36 AM

Janie, it was worse than that – this was our "casual Friday" dress code. ;-)

Thanks, Rach. I guess everyone in NZ dresses like this, though.

Beth, don't hold your breath waiting for the video. Well, you can hold your breath, but it won't do any good. As funny as I look in this photo, it gets even worse when I'm not standing still.

Gwynne, our S$s are very toney, doncha know? ;-)

Oooh lala!

Very nice, indeed.

You clean up real good!!
Are you going to wear that to the Reunion??

Posted by: Aunt Dorothy at July 17, 2007 10:38 AM

WOW!! I'm impressed! You pass muster to escort YLB!

Posted by: Phyllis at July 17, 2007 11:10 AM

Thanks, Jen. (I didn't know you spoke French! ;-)

Dorothy, I'm just trying to live up to the standards set by Uncle Bud.

Phyllis, I had a photo of her, too, but if I had posted it, no one would have noticed me.

Say...why is it that the only people commenting on this are women? (Not that I'm complaining, mind you.)

Eric, your dad and I think this picture reveals just how handsome you really are.

Posted by: Mother at July 17, 2007 12:43 PM

Eric, you look a lot more like your Dad in this picture. Good looking! Everyone needs to get 'pretty' once in a while.

Posted by: Allie at July 17, 2007 01:54 PM

Dude, is that a carbon fiber cummerbund?

You're bulletproof!

Good to know I'm not the only Texan who can't be arsed to learn how to tie a real bow tie.

Posted by: Scott at July 17, 2007 06:54 PM

Brian, sharp eye! The tie also converts into a throwing star. ;-)

Scott, you got that right. I have enough trouble remembering how to tie a regular one.

Posted by: Eric at July 17, 2007 07:05 PM

Daniel Craig should be sweating bullets about now.

And I'll put in my vote for the dancing video, too :)

Posted by: Denise at July 17, 2007 08:45 PM

Denise, stop it. Not really.

I mean it; it's embarrassing. I love it.

Posted by: Eric at July 17, 2007 09:52 PM

Um, WOWZER...Dashing...quite dashing. Where ya headed anyway? I'd love to see what MLB was wearing.

Posted by: julie at July 18, 2007 09:19 AM

The occasion was our wedding anniversary, and we were headed first to The Garlic Press for dinner, then to a dance at the Petroleum Club.

MLB was stunning, as usual, in a little black number.

Posted by: Eric at July 18, 2007 01:13 PM

Feh. You look quite dapper. Now... wanna see something really scary?

Posted by: Foo at July 19, 2007 08:15 PM

Nah, that's one handsome guy. But who's the fellow in the tuxedo? ;-)

Is that a bolo tie? I can't really tell.

Bolo ties are strictly verboten at our dances. Can you imagine such a thing in west Texas?

Posted by: Eric at July 19, 2007 09:14 PM

I know I'm way late, but when did you meet Charles Lane?

I can't decide if that's crueler than it is absurd, or vice-versa, so please disregard.

At least you can fit into your tux, which for us old-timers is a worthy objective!
