Peculiar Fashion Choice

When I dropped Eryn off for camp at the Minneapolis Institute of Art on Tuesday, there was this guy standing outside as I left that had on a white shirt, overalls, and a severe bowl haircut, with everything below the bowl shaved tight. It immediately brought to mind Ben Stiller in Tropic Thunder as Simple Jack. I found a picture of Simple Jack just to be sure I was remembering it correctly, and except for having slightly darker hair, this is how the guy was dressed, and this was his hairstyle.

Based on his location, I wonder if they're doing Simple Jack as a play for the Children's Theater in 2011.


Given the whole "full retard" controversy this created when the movie was out, this is a bold move by the CTC. I hope they know what they're doing.

Makes me think of Laurence Olivier in "Henry V". But you clearly have better taste in movies.

At Conner's t-ball game on Tuesday, there was a mom wearing shorts so short her red undies were visible and a somewhat sheer, white tank-top with a definitely-not-supportive-enough black bra underneath. She stood out a bit among the more conservatively dressed St. Paul hippies....of course Dan didn't see anything wrong with her attire.

Katie, did I ever mention I'm a big fan of t-ball? Maybe I should hang out with you and Dan at Conner's t-ball games now that Jonny's t-ball season is over...

Thanks for the post Scott - it reminded me that I still haven't watched Tropic Thunder yet.
