It’s Go Time!

It’s Go Time!


An unusual phenomena in the boys wear section of 70’s catalogs is the “fight picture” where they have two boys posed as if they’re about to throw down. The example above is a good one, I used to feel such things were happenstance, just two models who didn’t get along but now, I’m beginning to think it’s deliberate.

Check out Davey and Goliath here, is the sight of your son standing up to actor Jimmy Baio supposed to inspire ugly jacket purchases? Dammit, I need to know!

    I think it’s the eye contact that kills me. Look out! Those young bucks are going to lock horns, I picture people crossing the street to avoid the throw down.

    The first picture kills me. It’s Dirk Diggler and Napoleon Dynamite in a battle to the death!

    what happens is: neither has been shown a mirror and don’t know how they’re dressed; so each wants to beat up the other for being dressed like an dork.
