Have I mentioned that I still have no idea how to tie a necktie? Well, I still have no idea how to tie a necktie!
Just recently, my grandmother died, and I had to be a pall bearer. I went out and bought a zipper tie .. I used to own a few back in the early 2000's, but I have no idea where they went after a move like 15 years ago.
So yeah, somehow I've been able to function somehow as an adult without having to have learned what I'm sure most guys would consider is a basic guy thing. I will make the argument that as a lefty, it's SO MUCH HARDER to tie a tie, but I'd also like to mention that I HATE any sort of shirts with collars. That is probably why I never really learned how .. and that I've been able to "adult" for quite some time without wearing shirts with collars!
Anyway .. here's a caption that sort of slipped through the cracks almost 5 years ago. Unless you are Ian, (and if you are, why the hell haven't you commented here in like 5 years?!?) this probably will seem new to you!
Made this about a month ago for RMP aka Ron. He's always been big on girls in men's clothes or school girl outfits with the ties and all that. There is never a shortage of pictures from those 2 subsets, and I haven't run out of things to say with them either!
The premise is based around the thought of amnesia and/or waking the sleepwalker. I have no idea, and honestly don't care to look it up at this point, whether this is sound medical advice anymore .. just that it is in Pop Culture enough that people have a good idea what I'm implying in the caption.
I also like that it is still vague as to what the wife is getting out of this. Maybe she wanted a daughter and is living out that fantasy. Yes, the person talking to Mom could be a guy. Now that I am really looking at the picture, there are ear buds there! Look out Son! You could end up being twins! Nice to see a layer in a caption I didn't notice a month ago! I am actually wondering now if the wife had an actual say in her husband becoming a teenage girl! Looking again, it's a phone or iPad charger. STILL though, that could be the link to prove it was all her doing from the start!
Or, my original intent was that Mom was kind of kinky. Maybe with some latent lesbian tendencies .. and it IS her husband in there, and it is still his body, though changed. Maybe Dad gets turned on by being surrounded by catholic school girls as well as being aroused at being one?
What do YOU think?
And that question still stands, almost 5 years later. Please give me your thoughts. I have a new theory, but want to see if anyone else has the same conclusion that I am thinking might have happened. Also, I am not that big on the background being so distracting. It was supposed to mimic the necktie she's wearing, but it's way too busy I think. Oh well!
I don't know what to say, apart from the fact that I want to say it, about being a pallbearer. I hope it went as well as these things can go and wasn't too hard, if you see what I mean. Basically, you have my best wishes and metaphysical supporting gestures that you feel are most appropriate.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, the fact that you've managed to get this far without learning how to tie a tie is nothing short of inspirational! I was taught how to tie one for school, when I was about 11, and have thus always known, like riding a bike. Doesn't mean I have ever enjoyed wearing a tie (well, maybe a bit unfair, I have a couple of ties I like... but... wearing one...).
As to the Q, I think it's pretty clear that the wife had a hand in it and that the child asking the questions is squicked out that parents have a sex life. I get the impression from the slight smile in the image that the husband *already* kinda knows what's going on as well, and maybe isn't turned on by being at a Catholic school so much as aware how much his wife is getting from it, so endures the rest safe in the knowledge that there's little risk for him involved.
I have no doubt that my theory will be inferior to your own concept - but that's why you are such a prolific captioneer and I comment. :)
Honestly, I forgot what my new theory was. Probably something along the lines of Dad faking most of all this. Right now I am thinking of Mr. Brady dropping a briefcase to prove that a whiplash victim in court was lying.
DeleteBut this brings up a broader point .. that often when I'm making the caption, I had ideas in my head, but I don't usually have an endgame in mind. That people can have their own ideas about what I wrote, and interpret things their own way has been quite enlightening. It's why I often ask people to comment on what they see and understand to be "the truth" on the caption. Their truths are often not what I was thinking of, and maybe it's a bit more of a read on their own thoughts, and not a projection of my own.
