I am proud to announce two things:
1. That we have a winner for the ugly sweater contest!
2. That I have such a great eye for ugly that I predicted it.
You see, I bought my favorite ugly sweater at the thrift store before I decided to make a contest out of it.
I went back this weekend, and I was saddened (in more ways than one) to find that ALL of the sweaters from my poll had already been purchased.
Note: My friend Vanessa honestly liked the furry Santa pockets one and wanted me to get it for her, For The Reals. Here is our e-mail exchange:
Vern: Dude! The second one with puff balls and mitten pockets is not lame. It’s amazing! I want it so bad.
Me: I could pick it up for you to wear to the Christmas party if you want. I think it was about $1.14.
Vern: Amazing. Yes! Will you? I would owe you my life … or a similarly awesome Christmas sweater.
Me: If it is still there (HIGH PROBABILITY BECAUSE, um….), yes.
In light of that, it is a good thing the sweaters were all gone. But sad, once again, that someone else is sporting their fists in Santa’s noggin.
Anyhow, I am elated to present to you…….
And for a close-up on the buttons:
OK, now go rinse out your eyeballs with isopropal alcohol.
