A Delusional Moment

“Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.”

—John F. Kennedy, 1961

In the fog of war, I had forgotten to cleanse the hard drive of any incriminating evidence. Heather has found and published this photo. If I were a smarter man, a less haughty and proud man, I would have the courage to stand proud in my in-case-of-nuclear-attack gear. It’s hard to do in workout shorts and a rain slicker.

    That picture is just… priceless. I may have to switch over to the dark (Dooce) side.

    Why can’t I get the Devo music out of my head???

    What cracks me up about that photo (and the entire war altogether) is that my husband and I approach “conflicts” in the same way — trying to goofify them (yes, that’s a real world) as much as possible because a marriage without mutual mockery is not a happy marriage. heh.

    There exists one of me where I’m mid-home-hair dye experience that my husband threatens to publish whenever I mock him publicly. That’s true love.

    I’d like to know what you’re doing with all that chicken in your pants.

    No seriously, the jacket is what offends me. Yellow. Bad. Reminds me of bile — after a night on the tiles.

    those are some skinny legs, man.

    but from the waist up, you look like you could be in one of those ebola-disaster movies.

    the lyrics “chicken man, chicken man, chicken man, hold my hand.” come to mind… simply clog-a-licious!

    http://​www​.clogarmy​.com is available Jon. I would suggest starting a movement. I would gladly enlist.

    I think this could be used for your polital objectives as well. You know, something like,

    “Clogs Not War”

    OR

    “Who needs guns when you can have Clogs!”

    Etc.etc.

  • Brahm

    You should look into getting a cameo in the next Beastie Boys video.

  • daveyr

    Make Clogs no war.
    This reminds me of Richard (& Judy)‘s Ali G. Anyone else getting this vibe*?
    Still, this could be a deadly, dirty battle. Yellow protection suits may well be needed.

    Long live the Clog! (repeat, chant-like)

    OH.… SNAAAAPP

    Ouch!

  • stelawho

    um, yeah… hot, that’s what I was going to say, too.

    actually, I like the numbers on the wall behind you, can we see more of that??

    yay, clogs!

    A yellow rain slicker and clogs … Heather’s a lucky woman.

    That photo strengthens my resolve as a Clogger Army secret operative.

    John, that’s pronounced Slick-uh. Just so we’re clear, chicken legs!

    You know, Photoshop may be your best friend. A nip here, a bulge there. Work those calves into something special in no time.

    Just a thought. ;)
