When: May 1999
Where: Some hotel lobby in Chicago, IL
Had to pull this one out of the vault. It's just me and some high school buddies displaying a sampling of the butt rock t-shirts we amassed over the course of a few years. No need to fear, though. This was the only time I wore the shirt in public.
Unless, of course, the following are considered "wearing in public": Wearing it to all school basketball games that I was a fan at; underneath my soccer jersey my senior year (good luck...duh); to various school dances; to all major Science Olympiad competitions* I competed in, etc etc.
In all seriousness, I want you to appreciate the composition of this photograph -- the symmetry, the raw emotion in our expressions. This should be hanging in a museum somewhere.
This photo is also serving as a primer for tomorrow's blog post. Make sure to come back and check it out.
*I know, I know.
4 ideas preached:
oh i have always loved that shot.. yes it is an uncanny replica of one i did see in a museum actually... stunningly captured. wish that credit could go to you. and i love that the caption names the shirts not the boys. seriously, what's important anyway?!
You were right...I most definitely LOL'd. Well done. I hope this photo doesn't come back to haunt any of you who might have future political ambitions...this kind of indiscretion could kill a shot at public office...
I was wondering where you found this photo of a bunch of douche bags, and only when I read the verbiage did I realize it was actually of you. You might want to make it more clear up front.
You're right. I should take advice on how to lay out my blog posts from somebody who posts as "Captain Nefarious" and uses words like "douche bag." How negligent of me.
