| It's the palm tree shadow in the foreground that I'm hoping will draw your eye in this photo. |
One day we ran out of pennies and had to find some other way to occupy our time at the mall. This was done by dressing me up in a Suicidal Tendencies t-shirt, sunglasses, tight jeans, a long wig and those knee-high moccasins that were the style of stoners, f-dudes and burnouts of that time period. We went to the mall and fooled many, many people into thinking I was cool. One woman was particularly fooled. She came and sat next to me and began running her fingers through my wig and telling me what exquisite hair I had. Honestly, I had no idea who this woman was or why she would do such a thing. When she didn't immediately stop telling me how much she liked my hair and when, 30 seconds later, she still didn't stop, I began to get terribly uncomfortable and in my distress I told her it was a wig, by lamgun! And I ran out the door. I'm not sure where Paul was when this happened. He was probably off buying junk at that magic shop. When I told him what happened he thought it was the best thing since slurpees and wanted to do the f-dude charade again. I told him that he would have to be the f-dude from now on cause I wasn't having any more of it. Me dressed as an f-dude is my raison d'etre. Paul, how in the name of Lamgun did we get our hands on those leather moccasins?
The best part was your strut.
ReplyDeleteThe moccasins...they were probably Gordon's or possibly Marriner's. They wre pretty RN, though.
If you want to get enraged, go to La's blog. I'm wondering if she's dumb. I'll give her a crotchkick for you.
I was gonna skip over it and just read the text, but then that shadow caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteThe best part was when you kept leaving me to sit around by myself while you went off with other people you knew for half-hours at a time. Do you realize how authentic I looked? I was in danger of being rounded up with the other f-dudes (the ones that hang out at the mall... y'know) and taken out back for a smoke.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling the wig looked good and believable.
ReplyDeleteIs it a very fun social experiment (a worthwhile social experiment, by the way) when you're left to be the freak all by yourself? I don't mean for your comment section to be the forum for our marital discord, but LAMGUN, Paul ALWAYS does that to me. I so enjoy being at a social gathering with people I don't know while he goes off and leaves me by myself! I have to beg him to stay with me before every social outing we have. It's nah.
While I immensely enjoyed the lovely palm tree shadow, how's about some REAL pics of the Paul and Joel of yesteryear? Really. It's time.
Your wish is my command. After many hours of intense searching I have found the negatives from the trip to the mall. There's only one small (but kinda huge) glitch: It's on Kodak Disc film which is no longer manufactured and seldom processed by anyone. One website I found says they will scan disc film for $65 a roll. That's an RN BARGAIN.
ReplyDeleteSo, anyone who is interested in seeing actual photos of verifiable occurances in the past of Paul and Joel should help me to find someplace what'll scan kodak disc film to CD (or DVD, I suppose. The point being I don't want prints, I want the photos in digital format) at a reasonable price.
K - I didn't try very hard, so I'm thinking you already looked at this, but it's worth a shot. Have you looked at:

I'm not sure what condition the film is in or how many discs you have. Are they any cheaper? Was that a very good choice for film? ha But I'm glad you have those pics at least. That's awesome. And we'll pay half!
