PAPOY 2012, now with .35% less creepiness!

[opebo]

New Model UN conference means new Facebook profile picture means new thing to shove in here.

You went from looking like you were 14 to looking like you're 30.

I don't look Hispanic at all (I am) .

I don't know, the velvet dog painting looks pretty hispanic, Snalker.

What is Papoy?  The Tagalog for 'photograph'?

[opebo]

I have a jacket made in GDR (peace be upon them). Still in good condition.

Can you please show a photo of this jacket?

American clothing used to be much better quality as well, before 'free trade' and globalization.  I used to have quite a lot of clothing with a 'union label' in it, but not sure where its all gotten to.

On a mission to do laundry.  (*Need* to get a real camera).

Why are your clothes too small, wormyguy?

[opebo]

A few new ones from this week with friends

Wow.  Where did you find a girl that slim in Ohio?

[opebo]

Kalwedgjit - nice jammies!  It would be a wonderful world if we could all just wear pajamas all the time.

Lewis - you look like a neanderthal in the forest!

[opebo]

Christ man, did you ball the girl in the Barbarella costume on this one:

When in Hollywood, do what the Hollywood people do and find yourself pretty friends.

Simfan would never wear jeans.

Oh no, I do.

Does that mean you are closer to the peonage than I?  I never wear dungarees, only slacks or in chill weather corduroys.

[opebo]

The man in the suit looks interesting.  Which is more than one can say for the tacky oppressors above.

[opebo]

For some reason I think you look like Tom Waits.

Don't be so mean!  Tom Waits is one I quite like.  He looks like a more dastardly Johnathan Richman:

Torie, liking the polo

Yeah!  Me too, good point afleitch.  Torie, this look is a huge improvement over the muscle shirts.

[opebo]

Aw, you two are so cute!  Quite a catch there, lovely girl.

[opebo]

Which one?

[opebo]

Those who wear flat-billed hats are the Nazis of our times.

Wonderful analogy.

I thought farmers wore those.

[opebo]

Which one?

He is in this pic.

I see.  I like the overall look, the dark slacks, and the boat shoes, but I'm a bit skeptical about the T-shirt.  Tweed, is it nowadays impossible to find the traditional 'thrift store T-shirt' - such as a summer-camp shirt, or soft-ball league shirt, or amusement-park-employee shirt, something along those lines? 

I believe I can remember they had gone from being a $1 find many years ago to by the time I left the Bad Place a $15-20 re-sell at the small hip shops. 

[opebo]

I've noticed a weird development - all you youths are wearing t-shirts with slightly 'v-ed' necks.  I never really saw this when I was last in the USA a few years ago.

[opebo]

I don't think I own any non-v-neck t-shirts. Mine are a lot more "v-ed" than those posted on the last two pages though.

yeah I have a no objection to an old fashioned v-necked undershirt - my father wore those all the time.  But no one should really wear a t-shirt, v-necked or crew-necked, alone in public.

[opebo]

Is this the winner for creepiest photo?

Merry Christmas from Mr & Mrs Republic.

Jeebus Christmas, how much did those set you back?  (he said enviously)
