I love this one.

LOL! The friggin flashlight! That's too much!

I had a budy who had a trike and we'd hit the streets during the snow storms. His wiring was a mess and his front light was less than reliable. (We eventually fixed it) So he would be visible, he duct taped a mag light to his bars. :lol:

Totally agree! There were a few that I looked at and didn't think much of the picture until I read the caption. :lol:

do you really think they got peoples permission like they are supposed to??? Doubtful. Would get killed if they approached some of these folks.

I sense a new "reality show" in the making.... these guys are gonna get rich - no limit to the material!

I had to stare at the "what's out of place" for a while before I got it:

How could you ever, ever, ever ever ever, E…V…E…R. think this is appropriate to wear in public? WOW!

I'm thinking that if you subscribe to that particular idea, then it is, by definition, appropriate to wear in public. On a magnitude scale it's off the charts, but conceptually, it's not much different from wearing a t-shirt with a donkey or an elephant on it, or a cross or star. The intention of any of them is to express an opinion and (theoretically) invite discourse. Of course, with a swastika you're really inviting a butt-whoopin', even in Walmart.

Either way, the person who would wear that is either a total idiot, or a Nazi (which, by extension, implies a total idiot).

You already know that some people just want to provoke or annoy others. It's not necessarily the message, some people are just general jerks. There was always a guy at the high school dance or bar that was just looking for a fight out back. "What you looking at?". That's the caliber of people you are looking at here.

Apparently he likes fat lazy people.

Speaking of....

After my wife's ACL surgery, she found it easier to get around large stores (Wal Mart, Depot) with one of those carts. We were dumbfounded with how difficult it could be to get one of those carts. It was down right annoying when someone who was morbidly obese, but mobile was slowly rolling around the store on one.

It think it's wintertime and the woman far in the back had a bikini top on.

That's what the caption indicates, but there's nothing else that I see that makes me think it's winter. The woman in the foreground is wearing shorts and a t-shirt, doesn't look like she's dressed for winter either.

Bad taste? That pretty much pales to anything GSS ever did. That it would cross your mind to begin with is telling.

I disagree. No one was calling anyone a Nazi. I think it was clear that he meant that certain people would wear that shirt just to get attention, even though they're not a Nazi or even close to it.

I guess I can see how some people would take it the wrong way, which is why I'm going to delete the posts.

I also deleted the pictures of the woman wearing shorts with questionable graphics on them.
