A tale of 2 fleeces.
As a man of limited sartorial splendor, I got excited when my wife asked if I needed anything from the Boring Clothes Store. “Oh yes!”, I replied, “I want another zippy fleece shirt, just like this one. Maybe one in black. Can you get me one in black? It’s so warm and fuzzy”.

Warm, zippy, fuzzy. |
A short while later Elise returned. As the BCS bags were opened, out rolled the ugliest fleece I had ever seen. “That doesn’t look like black”, I casually mentioned. “They were out of black”, she snapped, “so I got this color.” “What an ugly color!”, I blurted, realizing too late the horrible words I was saying, “but…um…I mean that in a good way. It’s a nice ugly color.”

I’ve worn the babypoo colored fleece for the past 3 days hoping to prove how much I love it. Tomorrow I’ll “accidentally” spill grease/paint/bleach on it, and then it will be my new favorite ”work shirt”.
gotta admit..that’s one fugly color. but at least it’s warm.

I don’t think it’s so bad. And I think you have kind of blown your cover by posting your plan on the internet. Have the Bond villans taught you nothing?

Nah…I haven’t actually been DOING anything for the last 3 days. I’m gathering my strength for winter break with the kids.

You know, it’s not really THAT bad. It could’ve been much worse! Think of another color you dislike even more the brown!
I hope you are having the happiest of holidays. I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!

Honestly, John. Do you have nothing better to do than photograph yourself? I have a kitchen that needs cleaning…

Did you photograph yourself in your… BATHROOM?!?! A level of intimacy that I’m not ready for.
