Gary Spivey takes the biscuit.

Just what does that fuck heal?

Clown's pockets?

Yeah - of course "most bizarre" is a highly subjective pronouncement where these are concerned, but that one, yes...

The comments on Metafilter have some more links, including this OMFG one which made me larf for a full minute:



(Does this constitute child abuse?)

(There's also one guy wondering if maybe Gary Spivey = William Shatner, and another nailing it with "That Gary Spivey one is freaky. He looks like an enchanted, cherubic, lovable forest imp while also looking like someone from a registered sex offender web site."

One person suggests that perhaps the 80s should be off limits for being too easy a target (Kajagoogoo does provide ample ammunition for that argument.)

I'm sure we've had this pic before.

Look at the size of the woman's hands compared to her head, frightening!

My wife posted this picture to a forum once when asked for a picture of her family. Unfortunately, some people actually believed it was a picture of us.

Isn't it?


That Spivey chap is just begging to be met with an accident of the open flame variety....

Close. But, I'd never wear a shirt with counter-oriented pocket stripes.

Speaking of stripped shirts, I had a white one with red stripes, biz style.

Boy was that an unlucky shirt, everytime I wore it I had a shitty day, sometimes a really bad day, it went in the bin.

Then the missus bought me a casual shirt recently, on its first three outings bad shit happened, its now in a charity shop.

I'm not superstitious, but weird stuff keeps happening. I got a light green shirt, only worn it twice and both times I've managed to spill my (bright red) dinner down the front.

Anyone else have unlucky clothes?

I must have an unlucky wardrobe. Maybe I should toss all of my clothes and just run around nekid -- see where that gets me.

I once launched an entire plate of enchiladas onto a white shirt at a restaurant. I hit the edge of the plate with wildly gesticulating hands. The contents of the plate took a dramatic arc to my chest and then rolled into my lap. I had about a two mile walk to get back to the car. I don't recall what happened to the shirt, I doubt if it had a second chance at public catastrophe. Red chili, tomato sauce and grease make a pretty wicked stain.

Ferry to Nantucket island, 1978. Wearing white shorts, t-shirt. Purchased chicken hotdog on board. Errant downward squirt of mustard... Hello vacationers! (There's a reason I wear mostly black, at least below the waist.)

It's a good thing you explained about the mustard first.

So, J, you give an unlucky shirt to a charity store where even unluckier folks shop so as to make their lives less lucky? That's Cruel!

Err... I was working on the reverse law of universal causality, one man's luck is another man's poisen.

I may well have left a spectacularly unlucky pair hidden somewhere in the darkest recesses of your fine abode....
