Famously curmudgeonly author, blogger and general old fart (and our good friend) Old NFO is legendary for his salty Navy crustiness. However, I think I've found the way to his heart - and just the thing to fill his Christmas stocking.
Those of you who know and love him, feel free to nominate your favorite among those above in Comments. (I think he might look absolutely fab in the red-and-yellow one on the left, don't you?) I'll see if I can get him to model the majority favorite for Christmas!

My wife has threatened to make something for me, but she stays busy making baby blankets for family, friends and coworkers.
ReplyDeleteThat might be taking the Jayne Cobb hat concept just a little too far...?
ReplyDeleteProbably not quite the intent when he has been described as "crotchety".
ReplyDeleteI say the black number.
ReplyDeleteTime to update the spam filters, Peter! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I guess you want OldNFO to fill your mailbox with dog poop or something :D
I will not show the wife this entry. She loves to crochet and I don't want her to get any ideas.
ReplyDeleteThere was a time when sailors were noted for their needlework skills. And the grommet, ah, garment on the grinning dude at the right looks like it would make a nifty paraglider.
ReplyDeleteCrimson and gold, on a Naval aviator? I better start making popcorn now, for that scene.
ReplyDeleteThe virginal white, just like the ice cream dress whites. Just add some brown sandals.

The garment in the far right image resembles some Native American (is that the current correct term?) garments I saw during various travels. Isn't that cultural appropriation?
ReplyDelete/sarcasm off
The red and yellow is spiffy, but the yellow/blue/green is pretty sporty. I like the white with yellow stripes the best, though. The blue/gray/black might make a pretty good camo outfit, though.
ReplyDeleteHey Peter;
ReplyDeleteThe "Aqua" looking one 2nd from left just screams "Old NFO" since it is aqua, it has that crusty nautical theme down pat., LOL
In the Navy we have a saying: Paybacks are a Bitch...
ReplyDeleteJL may just have found the name for his Buckley if you know what I mean :-)
Disgusting abomination. Not humorous at all. Makes me angry. Sorry to ruin the mood.
ReplyDeleteOh, hell no!
ReplyDeleteThe blue/green farmer johns and gray-banded combination both look OK. Make them in wool and they might actually be warm.
ReplyDeleteThe red/brown robe and the white thing both have too many holes to be more than art pieces....
you might have to shoot jim a couple times before you dress him in that.
ReplyDeletePeter, it should make you nervous that NFO hasn't commented, yet....
ReplyDeletePraise the Lord and pass the Brain Bleach, please.
