Old-School Fashion: Never In Fashion

21 Jan

January 21, 2014

I usually hate to admit that there are other websites out there. There’s Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride, The Christian Science Monitor, and lots and lots of naughty naughty sites. But I have to be honest, sometimes, just this once, and say that yes, I do go to other sites. For example, I followed a Facebook link to Awkward Family Photos. The best I can say about them is that they used to be a lot funnier. But I was bored and around the fourth of fifth page I found this old article. (No, not an old-time article “ye,” but a newspaper article.)

Wow, remember when little televisions were cool and state of the art? And an AM/FM radio too? Awesome! But the sasquatch on the left? Never in style. He is clearly wearing a dog on his head. And the rest of the outfit? Obviously from the Herb Tarlek Collection at Mr. Polyester.

Laugh if you will, but that style is not limited to real or imagined newsmen.

A Thanksgiving Public Service Announcement from Allan Keyes

keyes1.jpgYeah, turkey is kind of bland and dry, and unless it’s accompanied by a large side order of football, kind of boring.  And yeah, EVERYTHING deep-fried is delicious. So it follows logically many will try to deep fry their turkeys this Thanksgiving.  Why is this a potentially bad idea? I’ll let Fireman Freddy (NOT his real name!) explain to you:

So if you must have your turkey in deep-fried goodness, please do it responsibly! We want all of our readers to be back here next week complaining about how their creepy uncle got drunk and inappropriate  and the bratty kids ate all the cranberry sauce that you were planning on throwing onto your gigantic “thanksgiving on a bun” sandwich that you always have for breakfast the day after while everyone else is in a deep food coma, and how the freakin’ Lions didn’t cover the spread AGAIN….I mean all they had to do was kick the field goal instead of trying for that touchdown! WHY MATTHEW STAFFORD? WHY?!!!!!!!!!!! I LOST ALL THE CHRISTMAS PRESENT MONEY ON THAT GAME OH NO……..NOW I HAVE TO SELL MY BLOOD FOR PRESENTS AGAIN…..*deep breath*

Now lest you think me sentimental, let us all laugh in horror at some deep-fried turkeys gone very, very wrong. HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! Special bonus at the bottom of this post!

SPECIAL THANKSGIVING DAY PRE-REQUISITE BONUS!!!!!
