Remember waaaaaaaay back in November when Mr. Farklepants snapped that lovely photo of me sleeping on the couch? And how I accepted his obvious challenge of: bring it?
I present to you: the bringing of it...
Well, hello there Midlife Crisis. I see you've met my husband.
This is Mr. Farklepants stuffed into an antique his US Festival t-shirt. Which he brought home after spending three days at our generation's version of Woodstock. In 1982. I was nowhere near the event considering I was, oh, ya know...just finishing fifth grade and perfecting my cursive handwriting skills. [An aside: I always thought the cursive capital letter "Q" was dumb. End aside.] This shirt winds up in the I'll never part with this pile when we're purging our closets. With good reason; it's authentic vintage shit, yo.
The pose really just sets the whole thing. Hey Honey! You got your chocolate in my peanut butter Your pose says 70's and your clothes say 80's. See kids? This is why you should never drink and combine decades. You could end up with a PWI - Posing While Intoxicated. And you're unaware that a PWI checkpoint is up ahead disguised as a: Canon 20D.
Back off ladies. This one's aaaallll mine.
P.s. Can I have the shirt?
P.p.s. No, really. I mean it. Can I?

The cursive Q was dumb.
But revenge? Awesome.
I bet if you wore that shirt for him just once, he'd totally give it to you. The shirt! I meant the shirt, people. Geez.
Awesome. I hope he's learned his lesson. Totally love the shirt though, 3/4 sleeves rock.
Is it sad, that I kind of want that shirt. He should let you do a contest and winner gets the shirt.
That shirt is SO hot. Very vintage thirty.
How funny. Mr. Farklepants looks good in his 3/4 sleeve baseball shirt. I had a similar one in the early 80's but it had "I'm with him" printed on it. I have some 80's pictures I've posted on my blog as well!
I can't decide which is sweeter - the shirt or the revenge... I say it's a win-win!
And I totally agree with the letter Q thing,that poor letter Z has enough trouble holding it's own in the American language and stupid ol Q comes in trying to steal it's glory!
In my "never part with pile"...concert t-shirts from REO Speedwagon and the Police, circa 1982. I covet his shirt.
And what about the cursive S? Pfft!
I'm sorry, but I don't think you are quite even yet. You need to do at least one more humiliating post. Cause you still aren't even. Yeah, that. Not because this was freakin' hysterical and I want more, because you're. not. even.
High waisted pants on the man! High comedy!
Excellent!
Shawn Cassidy would be so proud....well done!
Awesome form of revenge!
Wow. I haven't seen the fitted arm sleeves in quite a while. Hawt. BTW - aside from the chins, which anyone would have in that position, you really did look quite cute - I had a photo taken of me sleeping open mouthed on a boat with a fly going into my mouth. Awesome. And I always sleep with my eyes half open. My siblings always thought I was a zombie. Now THAT'S hot.
Totally hilarious. I wish I still had my concert t-shirts from the '70's and early '80's. Dummy me, got rid of them years ago.
And you're right - what's with that capital cursive "Q?" I mean, have you EVER seen anyone use it before?
Hate the Q, love the shirt.
Heh. What comes around goes around!
HILARIOUS! Drunk pictures are better than sleeping ones!
Don't forget to enter my twilight giveaway by tomorrow!
I smell a framed picture as an xmas gift in someone's future. At least, that's what I would do.
awwh, he looks so very proud in his antique t-shirt. So very, very proud.
That shirt would look WAY better on you. Way. Oh and John Travolta called, he wants his move back.
That's hilarious.
Knowing the certainty with which this moment was coming, you'd have thought he'd be more on guard.
Those shirts were so hawt when I was in 7th grade.
Yes, we can, Mr. F! Yes, we can!
The sad thing is (but somewhat good for me) is it looked 10 times more ridiculous in person (not that the photo isn't ridiculous enough). This picture actually somewhat hides just how small the shirt is and just how fat I am.
I thought the camera was supposed to add ten pounds.
Too too funny! I'm actually 5 years older than my sweetie, so no fun photos like that yet! That's a great shirt though, I love it!
Mr. Farklepants, your camera adds ANOREXIA, remember. I remember that from Tootsie's Mothers Day post.
Also, do they still teach the cursive Q. No one ACTUALLY writes the cursive Q. I wouldn't even be able to recognize it.
KEEP BELIEVING
Oh, lord. i just found a few old snapshots of my husband from the beginning of our relationship.
Did he really look like that?
I think you got him. Where are his elephant-legged bellbottoms?
He'd only look more pretty with a rainbow stretching from one 3/4 sleeve to the other.
It does kinda look like he shopped the 8-16 rack at Sears...
very nice, very nice.
I think you win. Because your sleeping pose was accidental whereas dear Mr F there obviously knew what he was doing.
First of all - he's hot.
Secondly - what is on that shirt...a picture of Xanadu (remember Olivia on roller skates?) or something?
and lastly - I always thought the cursive capitol Q was much more '2ish' than 'Zish'.
Payback is a bitch!
I'm more weirded out by the fact that they are teaching kids a combo cursive/print these days - but yes. Q was odd.
I couldn't stop thinking Duran Duran lyrics while staring at that picture. It was just all wrong.
payback. she is a bitch. and her name is tootsie.
also? Q, 2. that's the same right?
A superior lesson on PWI, thank you. Nice payback :D
I hope he's got painter's pants from the Pants Corral on with that rockin' shirt.
Oooh...he's sooo workin' that shirt! LOL
Mr. Farklepants, 1
Tootsie, 1
Game on.
Mr. F's PWI pictures are far more attractive than the ones taken of me on vacation. I couldn't hit delete fast enough.
What's the line from that cheerleader movie?
"Bring it? It's already been brought'en!"
Amen on the cursive capital Q!
The payback challenge has begun. I look forward to future installments.
Dude. He's SMOKIN' hot. You are ONE lucky lady.
That is hotness. And THANK YOU for pointing out that his pose was 70s and his shirt was 80s. If you hadn't, I would have.
Alright look everyone... that pose is not 70's! At least not in the way you are thinking it. That is not the John Travolta "Saturday Night Fever" move I was attempting. if it was it would look different.
Specifically that is the Official Sears catalog "We're just regular guys standing around in our new slacks and polo shirts and I am pointing (with a smile) at some random thing" pose!
cause I was modeling clothing! Get it?
Come on! no one recognizes that?
That's because you aren't doing it right. The Sears models don't have their arm extended like that. Their arm is bent at the elbow and held in front of them...then they point. Almost like they're reaching up to pick their nose.
Do that. I'll take a picture.
Sorry, but I only really remember the Sears mens underwear ads..."let me just put my chin on my fist and look off into the distance and make men want to buy these underwear."
I wish I could find the pictures of my hub doing his Freddie Mercury impersonation (he also does Mick Jagger, but if he's in his long-john underwear, then it's Freddie).
I'm thinking that this has the possiblity of getting really nasty...but fun for us!
Bring it on!
:-D
Wow, fine looking specimen of a man there.
You're a very lucky girl.
I was going to die of jealousy that Mr. F was there to see the Crue and my boyfriend Vince Neil. Then I realized that it was 1983's US Festival that the Crue was at. Unless he went to that one also.
