The above photo is of an item for sale in the window display at Value Village next to our office ($6.99). It includes one frame, one 8×10 glossy of Jeff Poulin “IFBB North American Champion” (not signed, year unknown), and one pair of rather soiled neon green underwear (prior owner unknown).
UPDATE: If you’re planning on leaving work early to purchase this package, I regret to inform you that staff photographer Kelly O has already acquired it.
I’m struggling to find the right words…
A nightmare in a frame.
No doubt. AMAZING!
How about:
A bargain at any price.
or
Won’t that look lovely on the mantel!
or
I wonder if it is my size?
Even Marcel Duchamp would be envious.
Bodybuilders are a unique species.
Why does the update not surprise me?
Ew.
my guess is that somebody had a very memorable time with jeff and this is their memento
Is that “staff photographer” or “staff pornographer” Kelly O.?
I’m gonna guess that’s some kind of bodybuilder bronzing wax on that there garment.
Yeah. That’s exactly what that is. It must be.
I was just there today and I somehow missed this treasure.
you fucking tease!
If the ridiculously overpriced green and white sofa painting of ships in a harbor is still in the window at Value Village, it would make an awfully nice present for me.
Just saying……
for the love of men…. seek help
@1 The word you are searching for is “leotarded.”
@10: You are aware that Kelly O. is rather well-known for being the porn aficianado at the Stranger, right? So, if you intended that remark as some kind of burn…
Dude! Is that a skidmark in that banana hammock?
Kelly dear, everyone likes a little naked times, but I think perhaps you need to redirect some of your energies. Maybe that accordion would have been a better choice. Think how jolly it would be if you could favor us with a nice polka at the next sloghappy!
Why gee, Lee, I had no idea. You see, I just discovered this blog a few days ago, and defer to your superior wisdom and experience. I just hope it doesn’t turn me into a shit-for-brains peckerhead like you.
@20: Yeah, you’ve been trolling long enough to know who Kelly O. is. My point was more that your comment was dumb.
“shit-for-brains peckerhead” is another good one.
Seriously, if you’re 14 years old, I get it. After that, if that’s what you seriously believe me to be, you need to move on to better opponents. Otherwise, it just sounds like you’re trying to hurt my feelings and aren’t terribly clever or good with “words.”
Looks like someone forgot to wipe.
@18 and 22
It’s artificial tanning paint. Bodybuilders lather that stuff on before a show.
ew ew ew ew ewewewewewewewewewewewewew.
Gross. You couldn’t pay me to touch that thing.
But if it were a picture of Sandow…
best slog thread ever. (sorry lindy)
For the record, I am the staff pornographer, I love polka music, and I do actually now own this amazing piece of art. It should be noted that a little piece of green thong is trying to escape out of one corner of the frame.
@27: And we love you for it, Kelly.
Still, ew @ that “art.” 🙂
