not only do you not need to refund money, i owe you on this one.

i like to keep track of which item in a series finally pushed me into wheeze mode. i mean, it isn’t just one photo; i have to give props to the photos that were in the build up.

so dude wore a tie for nothing, the above featured purvis family (caption critical), gorgotha and “nothing says 1973 quite like denim and helmet hair*” win my shoulder-shaking prize.

those serious/mirthful montages were close runner-ups.

happy new year, dave. thanks for the mockery.

*see the noggin on that baby girl? there is no hairstyle that will be unhelmetlike on her. or the boys.

Definitely 100% awesome. So many favorites that it’s hard to choose. I’m partial to the third wheel, picture day at the asylum, and the damned.

Yeah, “Third Wheel” is just creepy. I’m sure I have a few of these Olan Mills photos in an album somewhere.

I remember one where I was resting my arm on a big wagon wheel. I think it was elementary school (4th or 5th grade).
