Well I could understand the need for protection… people that wear tacky sweaters often suffer from other’s jealous rage. Broad shouldered girls could probably help you lessen the blow as they try to rob you of your attire. Makes perfect sense to me. AND… I’ll be patient, but am still expecting a shot of this “sweater”.

Tall-y McTall Tall and Hott-y McHott Hott are now officially in my vocabulary. Thanks for the additions, they will be widely used except on girls (cough, or guys) with delicate shoulders. Oy.

I like to think a girl has massive shoulders because then she can beat up bullies for me – but if she has regular shoulders? It’s back to seeing danger, kicking blindly and then running.

Ok I just looked and I couldn’t find the pictures from when I was an old school golfer for halloween (I wore that ugly sweater). SO, a picture will have to wait til next time I’m at my folks house (where the beast currently resides).

A friend’s little sister in high school called me “tall-y” … which then turned to “Tall-y McTall Tall.” So I like to label girls as hottie mcHott hott.

Well … unless the girl has delicate shoulders, in which case what a loser.

What a let down… you’re looking forward to massive, square-shaped shoulders only to realize that there was padding there the whole time. Probably going to want to feel a girls shoulders up before you agree to date her. Can’t let the fake shoulders lead you on.

If I saw you in your sweater (well I still have to see it, but if it’s as good as you say it is then…) I would not only say “cool” I would run you down and demand you tell where you got it so I could go out and try to hunt down one just like it. I probably would have laughed until I wet my pants and it would have made my day. Still keeping my eyes peeled for the photo.

Hottie McHott Hott. I’ll add that one to my repertoire of nicknames. It can go right next to Megs, Meggy, Stout, Klutz, Amazon and Beast. Which of these names is not like the other? Haha!

Shoulder pads! Za-zing! It’s so misleading though … I mean you see a girls ample shoulders and you think ‘oooh la la’ and then it turns out they’re padded!? What a let down.

Picture coming … at some point … my sister and I made some awesome t-shirts when I was home so I’ll post pictures of those. I feel like with your humor you’d be one of a select few to see the shirts and say ‘cool’ instead of ‘what does that mean?’

And thank you!

And seriously, hottie mcHott Hott.

I’m thinking your ugly sweater may be one for the books… picture please. I think it’s hilarious that she wasn’t down with the ugly sweater… good thing you “politely” informed her. I probably would have been like “What!? What?!! I’m not wearing a sweatshirt when I have the option to rock this bad boy” and then walked away. And, for the record I’m a HUGE fan of your stupid stories, make me laugh out loud every time!

Merry (quite belated) Christmas to you too!

Hi Megan’s mom.

BOO YAH!

haha

Ok, now for my per usual stupid story …

On Christmas Eve my family goes for a walk around the neighborhood to look at lights and everyone in the neighborhood puts out luminaries (candles in bags). We live in the desert (Phoenix-ish) so we can go for a casual Christmas Eve stroll.

But it was somewhat chilly, so I decided “ooh I’ll put on my favorite hideous sweater!” (it’s like a scene all over the sweater … it’s a golf course with hot air balloons floating overhead … I’ll post a picture sometime). So my brother’s girlfriend saw me and said, “There’s a hoody in Tim’s (my brother’s) car if you want to borrow it.”

I looked behind me because of course she’s not talking to me, this sweater is AMAZING.

Then my cousin started to laugh and I realized … oh, she doesn’t get it. She doesn’t get how if something is so ugly it becomes awesome.

I politely informed her I deliberately chose to look that bad.

Merry (belated) Christmas!
