Friggin' Macho Man Savage wannabe. Lame.
Ok.. this photo made me laugh! The peace sign looks like it was added as an afterthought.
Go hop into your bass boat, you bad boy you, and go terrorize some fishies.
He's a monty python fan, obviously
His stance contradicts his shirt.
Freon,YOU made me laugh!
I really, really hope this was meant facetiously.
hey this guy stole kanye west's sunglasses!
Ohhhhh.. so that what happened to all the homosexual hippies after the 60's they became trailer trash and take pictures of they're "macho poses" in there backyard with there old clohes on..... sounds like fun!!
Oh man. I'd hit that. With my car....
Oh, Okies. Hook 'em, Horns!
No way! It was totally tie-dye day at my school today, quite excellent that this find fit with that.
a little fiber will clear up that posture, but that outfit...
Give this guy a break. He's probably just your everyday working stiff, just trying to unwind after hard week of work. He probably invited some buddy's down for a drink, got trashed and dressed up in his kids dress up clothes. His buddy's, equally trashed, thought this would make for a interesting picture. With that being said, we shouldn't look at him with and awkward eye, we should envy this man for his ability to step up out from the stresses of life and get a little crazy.
B. Hendrixs
i think hes sexy
He's just trying to correct a hellacious case of jock creep.
Dad?
a bit of a white theme ... the shoes, the socks, the sunnies, that fetching head scarf, even a white car ... probably doesn't mean anything, I mean, it's Oklahama, right?
Jan: jock creep is....?
Lets not analyse this too much. Its clearly a man in his prime.
He has three different looks going on... nineties hippie on top, Tour de France in the middle, and high school football coach on the bottom.
This is Rex Winsome, acting!
Love the dazzling white soxx.
I just love that it was found in a hutch. That picture needed to be contained!
I googled our rind and came up with this:
http://www.gpss.com/aboutMeetOurStaff.php?name
He is from PostSecret
Who wears short shorts?... Not you thats who! You wear tight manly shorts so that we all can behold your mighty man plums.
This guy owns a Speedo, too--which he actually wears. And thinks he looks cool in.
BTW-- What IS that contraption in the background?
He is a buffet of styles! Who would have thought to combine a skull cap,knee socks,stretchy pants,tie dye, and white sunglasses?! He's been so busy fine tuning his fashion that he hasn't gotten around to boating.
I think I use to date this guy.
haha, the brown spot behind him on the ground, looks like he's crapped.
That guy is AWESOME.
Oh dear God!
Now that guy looks like a real wiener!
I mean "Winner!" Winner! He looks like a real winner.
I'm just so embarassed for him right now.
Each morning at sunrise, Earl Jackson of Elgin, Oklahoma and his cousin Jimmy stroll the 15 acres of their family cabbage farm where he tends to his 8 cattle and 13 chickens. Earl is a modest man, he never asks for much. Born to 2 free lovin' hippies in Austin in the 1960's he never really appreciated the value of work. That is until 7 years ago when he inherited his grandpa's farm and learned what it means to be a workin' man. He started saving the money he made from selling cabbages from his pick-up truck at the town market. Earl finally earned him enough to buy himself a boat. It was a fine boat too, with Twin Evanruder engines. One spring morning Earl asked his cousin Jimmy to take a picture of him in front of his prized possession. He kept this taped to his hutch as a source of inspiration when he awoke each day to tend to the cabbages. It reminded him of home and all he he accomplished. That was until two years ago when sadly Earl's boat was repossessed by creditors, his farm foreclosed on all due to cousin Jimmy's meth addiction and NASCAR gambling ring. Now Earl and Jimmy sit in the State prison for doing a string of armed robberies in the Muskogee Area.
Looks like me making a raspberry with his mouth.
Sean S., spot on.
Living in Oklahoma (the good part, not that part), I can safely say that this guy would probably try to beat up anyone named Landon for being "a goddamn sissy-boy". Sorry Landon.
scrub is, until you said it, I didn't even notice it. Now that I see it, I think the picture was actually staged this way to make it seem as though he had laid a huge mound, if you will. Now that's all I see. Like the FedEx logo, in between the capital E and the x, it forms an arrow. Now whenever I send a FedEx, all I see is the arrow...
I can't stop staring!
i could never look at that hutch the same again after finding this in it and imagining who owned it before.
I think someone has pumped too much air into their Halloween lawn decoration. They should let some out, or it might pop!
(PS - the guy looks like a lot of fun. His pose is silly on purpose! However, his outfit is silly by accident.)
I really think this might be my brother. I haven't seen him in a long time, but I believe this is what he was wearing the last time I did see him.
Dang Scrub! You beat me to it!!!
Awww maybe it's because I'm a backwards southerner, but I think this guy looks like fun. He looks to me as if he was going for the nerdy look on purpose, hence the cool pose for the final touch.
Something about that just isn't right.
remind me never to use my real name and location if I ever submit a find. you guys are bloodhounds.
That said, this pic immediately reminded me of a 70's pic of my ex-step-dad wearing only cut-off short shorts and sporting a perm. Embarrassing and should have remained hidden. Yet, strangly, the guy looks like he thinks he's just the coolest.
Snap into a Slim Jim! Oh Yeah!
omggg this is hilarious!
i can see some of those pusedo-biker guys try to pull this off and think they look cool!
looks like a crab shack shirt
Why don't men understand that pulling up their socks like just makes them look like idiots?
Don't get me wrong, that is the LEAST of this man's problems...but I am a woman who happens to think that a man's calves are rather attractive...and considering the unfortunate choice of 'shorts' and shirt this gentleman chose...the least he could do is scrunch down those socks! Gimme some calf-eye-candy...ANYTHING to detract from the rest of this mess.
HAHAHAHA! Birdy?- scrunch them down??? LOL! Yeah, like that's really going to make this getup look so much more appealing. I don't think I've scrunched down socks since I was like 11 and that was in 1988!!!
hahahaha thats freakin awesome!
MAN PLUMS! HA! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
also. landonn sells stainless steel, he doesn't work for found.
sidenote: anyone know why my ibook (which is a. silver, and b. charging) just made a loud lawnmower-like noise? SUPER SCARY! seriously.
(scary like homeboy's outfit)
I bet he's posed the exact same way for every photo since his 1984 varisty football picture whe he was All-County!
He would be dreamy if only he was sporting a mullet!
Yes, I know Landon sells stainless steel, I googled it. I was just saying one of his favorite sites is postsecret.com and not FOUND for some reason. I can't believe Turbo got us on this kick of googling the finder. It's truely creepy. We should really stop.
I think this was taken at the WWF Training Camp...
OR
Dude could be feigning defication.
Just my thoughts...
Peace Love and Straining
Jonathan doesn't know what he's talking about. I've never seen this picture before in my life. I swear it. (how the hell did it that hutch get to Oklahoma?) Nope. It's completely foreign.
my neice is a freshman at o u and this seems about right for oklahoma.
Yeah you guys go easy on Rex in MKE. When he was spewing messages of Hate yesterday he was only imitating this find:
http://www.foundmagazine.com/find/740
No i wasn't. that space baby is creepy. We better hope that our sun doesn't provide him with super human abilities, cuz those eyes plus laser vision is not a force for good.
Come on Lizard Bits, Texas and Oklahoma have basically the same hillbilly/redneck ratio per capita.
And Rex, we all know the hutch was in Oklahoma looking for starsky.
I mis-read WWF training camp as WTF training camp.
Oh well, same difference, right?
Are you kidding? This our own Jonathan in his Peace Team rugby uniform ready to kick Real Madrid's butt at the World Rugby Championships. If you mess with Jonathan, you do so at your peril. He's all mine!
Jonathan, is that a Firebird tatoo on your left arm? Or perhaps a Rite of Spring?
XX,
Vivi
L, that is SO funny! My first thought on seeing this picture was also, 'Dad?'
He would have even been about the same age when this pic was taken, which was *hopefully* about 15 years ago
any megadeth fans here? (peace sells, but who's buyin'?)
Any bets on what kind of car that is just off-camera left? Camaro? Mustang? Prius?
I can't stand the way the peace sign is not alligned over the center of the tie-dye. It is really irksome to me. Stupid hippies can't even center the screen print!
And, horrors! It looks as if the sleeves are fringed and possibly even embelished with beads!
Landon, practicing parrothead.
I have been drunk now for over two weeks,
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks,
But I've got to stop wishin',
Got to go fishin', I'm down to rock bottom again.
Looks like he's trying to rip a hole in his spandex so he can get some relief for his genitals.
Ouch!
i think it's two different guys...his face is tan, but his legs? fish belly white...
it looks like a biker dude, hippie, bicyclist, coach
HUTCH MAN to the rescue!!! doo doo doo dooo
This is perhaps the awesomest picture in all of the internets.
I think it was Jo who first started googling finders.Jo in aslut.
Just loved this picture, and all the posts!
Anyway, if this is two men, then my husband must be two men too. Tan face, tan arms, tan from the knees to ankles and white everywhere else!!!
too funny.
I know Jo, and she is a world-class whore. A lonely cat lady with nothing going for her but a mere amount of sarcasm and shitty attitude. A classless drunk.
cool guy: I am almost certain that the vehicle in question is a truck, as detailed in my story of Earl Jackson (seen above). If you look closely to the left side of the picture you will see a trailer hitch poking out just barely. I am assuming this is used to haul his fine watercraft. I believe it's a Chevy S10 or Ford F150 because the rear bumper has a flat platform in the middle for standin' on to load cabbages. A fine truck it was until it got repo'ed. =(
I too know Jo, and she is a charming and upstanding lady. She lives in Oklahoma with several adorable feline friends and is quick to share refreshments with visitors when they stop by. She always speaks highly of everyone and everything, except for one neighbor who spreads ugly rumors about her. Don't think I don't know about that connection, you impudent whippersnapper!
I knew a girl who could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.
(I didn't know Turbo was into whips and snappers!)
Turbo may be into whips and snappers early in the day, but by the time he's drained most of a fifth of Southern Comfort, he's all velco and zippers. At least that's what Jo told me.
velcro turbo jo vivi.
Look who's spreading ugly rumors now....Vivi!
I heard Vivi's got Jonathan's bassoon tattoed on the inside of her thigh...
Jonathan's babboon tattooed on the inner eye?!?!
I've been up too long....
Freon, you're hilarious. :-) Holly's just jealous.
Mmmmmm... Did you know "Bronco Sonatas" is an anagram for "contrabassoon"? Ride 'em, cowgirl! Aaron Copland never sounded so good.
Morning, all!
But I shaved that beard off in 1984. And my socks ain't never been that white.
Playing the contrabassoon does things to your nuts though...
Loved the anagram!! xx
What's Chrome doing on a trailer hitch? Naughty girl.
My goodness, worth every penny; that hutch!
Don't hate on the Okies.
I've been stuck here forever. [sadly]
If you have nothing to do like us.
You'd be entertaining yourself like that too. ;] Ahahahahaha.
i'm willing to bet that the car is a dodge spirit or some kind of pontiac sunfire. really what other car would this bloke drive?
Yes, it's definitely an American model car (too low to be a truck?) because superdude here is obviously a union guy. Maybe in this photo he's gearing up for the picket line. Regardless, I dig it, and I believe in his cause. Buy American!
i love this. it just made my day about 999% better!
I enjoy the fact that everyone seems to think this man was being serious with the pose and the outfit. :)
I saved this picture. It made me laugh.
hmm..
uh oh, this is definitely something my dad would do.
haha.
okay, so i was in school when i got a text from my aunt saying to check out this website on this exact page. i was curious so i did...turns out the person you bought that hutch from, was my other aunt(not the one who sent the text). this is her husband-they divorced some time ago. This is quite possibly the craziest thing that has ever happened to me. If you all would like, i have the exact same photo somewhere in my house, and i can post it for you as proof. let me know. hahahaha, i cannot believe this!!! i'm sending the link to the person in this picture as we speak
Dear Oh Wow: that's great! Please, please, put the details on the 'Hey That's Me' column on here (click on 'News of the Found' above, and then follow the 'Hey that's me' link on the right). You should be able to post your photo there too.
(Divorced, huh? Now there's a surprise...)
PS -- I just had a look at 'Hey That's Me' and I can't figure out how you post stuff on there. Maybe you just e-mail FOUND HQ [info@foundmagazine.com] and tell 'em?
I was trying so very, very hard not to laugh as I perused this find... But then my co-worker poked her head over the top of my cubical and asked "are you whimpering?"
Apparently my laughter-containment was not successful.
