2. How Can You Look That "Doofusy" In A Tux?

A black tux makes everyone look somewhere between "cooler than they actually are" and James Bond.

Not these two.

Just kidding! I did say black tux though. I remember prom too. Lot's of guys had some really garish colors of triple layer foam polyester. Of course, it was the early 70's.

I did black pants, white DB dinner jacket, and black bowtie. I actually thought i was James Bond for a minute. Then i remembered i was just this high school kid.

I even got a haircut for the prom so the pictures would look nice, and the girl i went with wasn't a girlfriend, just a friend i had known for a dozen years or so. I had broken off things with my girlfriend a couple months before, and she had broken up with her boyfriend around the beginning of that year.

So, we're talking and just decided it was ok for the two pals to go to prom together. She bought the tickets to her prom, and i bought the tickets to mine and we went to both on the same night. Then i paid for the dinner, but she bought lunch the next day went we went up to Galena to the state park for the day.

And, the pictures turned out good. Come to think of it, damn it, i did look like James Bond!

But this picture looks badly Photoshopped to me.

Fucks up the message when you have to distort reality to make your point.

Strangely, the Getty Images watermark has confused people into believing that the altered image might be authentic. But, of course, it’s possible to photoshop things with the watermark still on them. It’s not clear if Anthony Bourdain realizes he’s passing around a fake.

I reedited the image twice to put the quote on it because it looked like I had accidently pasted the photoshopped one when i was done but no it wasn't.

Compare to the REAL original, below.

The one you posted is a gently tweaked PS variant, including slope left eye for Eric, and smeary lips for Jr.
Extra chins on both. The Eric eye is what got me looking.

But I liked the quote; didn't bother searching further

Check the link to Jim Jeffries here, btw

Quite effective, depending, I guess, upon what one's feelings about hunting....or obnoxious, entitled dush buckets.....might be

Hopefully, but I doubt it, he goes to jail for foreign entanglements in the election. It is as stretch.

A wonderful, wonderful stretch that I hope is made

That is AWEsome!

Tell your friend to check out "Leap,"
by Terry Tempest Williams

She spent several years studying Garden of Earthly Delights, and the book is mindbending

She'd sit for hours studying the original in the Prado, often reaching semi-hallucinatory states

fascinating read:
