Monday, July 16th, 2007I usually rely on Don Asmussen’s Bad Reporter for my unPC funnies but sometimes This Modern World works nicely in Asmussen’s absence.
and, if you must, Sarah O posted a photo of the dress on her flickr

whats going on? what next? technicolour cartoons with pretty flowers and “i”s dotted with little hearts or stars? glitter? or worse stupid text that is impossible to read with a mix of upper and lower case? I don’t think i could handle that.

jesus christ, all I did was buy a dress!
i mean, yes, next is flowers, dotted eyes (Dotted with hearts!)
and i hope that crack about upper and lowercase letters isn’t a reference to my real handwriting, since that’s what it is. but you’l handle it. YOU’LL LOVE IT, dammit!

Yup, age be catching up with you.
something about getting older, all of a sudden ripped up shorts, chain wallet, and some random t shirt with obscure reference just didn’t look right anymore. instead of looking cool, i started to look like an idiot trying to relive his misspent drunken youth…
enough about me…

No i wasn’t making a crack at your handwriting, just at that annoying text you get when you hit the “next blog” button (or any random blog finding button) and stumble on something written by a pink sparkley teen girl.

haha pe,
that’s true, but remember that boots, old khakis/jeans, random t shirt with obscure reference, and dickies or flannel work shirt == cool uncle (or dad)

Julia’s dress lasted only a few hours, at which point her long dormant female glands activated, sending twelve years of unmenstruated periods sliding right into the seat of the new dress. The dress could not be saved, and despite everyone’s earnest attempts, the blood clot baby could not be brought to life with household electricity nor improvised incantations.

Julia’d make a sexy midwestern schoolteacher.

Can we see the pic of the dress?

OK, color me stupid. I missed that part of the news post. Ignore previous post.

Michael,
that is so very true… I miss flannel… my nieces and nephews, too into todays trendy “words on the butt of your sweatpants” to understand the fashion free world of the early ninety’s… I remember when goodwill was cooler than dolce and govanna (sp?).
Julia, love the dress … way to rock the chucks

Isn’t that the dress from the “retarded” photo? You don’t look “ooo” enough in the first panel. Maybe more like panel 2 from “Whiny” except with the pupils of the eyes diverging a bit to show how you were losing it there for a moment.
Please don’t hit me!

PE,
come on man it was as much a fashion then as anything else before or since.. kinda like a blue collar DIY thing, but still a style.
I see lots of kids rocking the thrift store goods even now though.. at least in my neighborhood.. it’s fun.
Really though, it doesn’t really matter as long as you enjoy it and you don’t have some billboard on your ass. i just wear whatever any given day. anything from polos and khakis to jeans and t. being an old curmudgeon, i just can’t be bothered to “dress the part” anymore
btw, the dress looks pretty sweet, but julia looks like she would kick anyone’s ass that called her cute….. her legs are freer so she can execute spinning back kicks to the head.
