He's just got back from a funeral. I bet he has. Look at his clothes and his expression.

Man..the 70's were such a tacky time,Too many drugs in the 60's.

Matt in my cubicle
VERY, VERY 70's. I wonder what he's drinking. My money is on scotch and soda.

What's hanging in the jock strap behind him? It looks like a midget bodybuilder.

Kelsy, take another look...that's a plaid sport coat he's wearing (and a godawful plaid, at that). I know customs are different down under, but surely one doesn't wear plaid to a funeral!

Unless it was the funeral for his interior decorator...early 70's tacky, right down to the floor lamp. Yeesh.

a bird in the hand
Whoa. I'd love to know where this was found...that room looks just like the dining room in the house I lived in from 1984-90. (In Simi Valley, CA.)

I love this pic.....more importanly, who took it? It's a pretty cool moment captured on film.
A guy wearing a suit walks in the door, pours himself a scotch and is relaxing for the night.....but I dont think he's watching TV, the TV is right behind him.

I certainly wouldnt have thought of taking a picture at that moment! But I am glad someone did

There is a marionette and a picture of a panda hugging flowers on the wall behind him.

christiatric in tromaville
*laughing at the marionette and panda picture Tom just pointed out*

The caption makes me sad. It makes the man seem really vulnerable.

He should put on that crazy hat behind him (if that is indeed a hat by the window) because that would cheer him up.

I don't see defeat. I see a head and torso.

Is he doing what I think he's doing?
+ September 08, 2008 12:24 PM +
random in credibleness
That would be a no, Flargy, because he just got back from synagogue on Saturday morning and is disappointed about the lack of respect for the Jewish community in his small town. I can almost smell the tallis..

I think that story popped to mind because of a photo of my grandfather looking the same way and, according to my mother, thinking the same thing.

Va l'eau in West Virginia - NOT Western Virginia
It looks like that clown in the background just hanged himself.
Good Lord it's weird.

Alvacado in the fridge, rotting, in SOUTHWESTERN Virginia
@Dudley--that, my friend, was one of the few times I've laughed out loud reading this site. Thank you.

Nothing wrong with Western Virginia, either! pPPBT!

I see a man, who's politician didn't get elected president, or something along those lines.

But maybe that's just because the media is saturated with presidential election right now...
