A few years back I mentioned that I had a John Cleese t-shirt - and y'all lost your shit! OO OO lets see the John Cleese t-shirt!
So today, finally, in an act of shocking revelation, I will reveal a rumpled, poorly-taken photo of myself wearing that selfsame garment!
But first, a little backstory.
I really wanted a Cleese t-shirt. First I hit up Mr. Cleese.com, of course - only to find out that yes, Mr. Cleese sells swag, but Holy Fucking Shit it costs a fortune.
Clearly he is not wealthy enough.
I was a bit peeved by this.
So what I did was, I searched Gleegle images until I found a picture of him that was super, extra cheesy. I saved it, and then I went to Walmart.com and had them make me a t-shirt. You just shoot them the image you've saved - any image you want! and the size you need, and they do the rest.
Except they got the size wrong.
My John Cleese t-shirt is quadruple extra large.
As you can kind of see, it fits me like a deflated kiddie pool:

Tight buttocks and big hair!
Extra Mod set - check!
So here you go, my darlings:




Love John Cleese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have all of Fawlty Towers on DVD. I am currently watching episodes Hold the Sunset. He is a fun actor. He was recently here a few months back for a talk and interview with our public tv station, but I couldn't make it. I was bummed.
ReplyDeleteAt least you can say he held your tits up for that price dear.
And don't think I missed the bit about wearing Crocs. CROCS!!!!!
DeleteI'm going to need to see you missy out behind the shed........* as I stare at you like Joan did Christina*
I saw him in Seattle a few years ago and he was WONDERFUL. Holy crap quitg looking at me like that. Put down those metal mittens! NOT THE COATHANGER!!!
DeleteI was going somewhere with this information, but I forgot where.
ReplyDeleteThis is me, every single day!!!
John Cleese is indeed skint - too many divorces, or something. He'll come after you for that T-shirt.
Sx
But you see, that's the genius of my evil plan! He can chase me until I let him catch me - and then I'll take him for a bundle too!
DeleteYou are sure that's Cleese on your t-shirt ? Looks more like the friendly mafioso down the street.
ReplyDeleteWho said there's any difference? Oh and hey, once again Wordpress is preventing me from viewing or commenting on your blog. And I want to! So how does that happen????*sob*
DeleteNo sobbing, heaving bossoms, dripping mascara ...

Just use the blue button with the envelope. No need to login.
That Aretha clip is every kind of fab-u-lous!!! Respect? Too fucking right!
ReplyDeleteCleese is a genius, but he's becoming a bit of a curmudgeonly old git lately. Well, I say becoming one... Jx
PS I think it might just be the camera angle, but on first glance I thought that loaf of bread was a footstool 😮.
From all accounts he's always been a bastard. The stuff he's holding forth with these days is about what I'd expect from him. But I love him and always will!
DeleteAnd hey - YOUR bread looks like a footstool. HA.
I need (knead?) to start making bread again...
ReplyDeleteHey now. Don't get saucy. XO
DeleteI had no idea could make Tees of my fav Images, must check that out now. I've got some Frida Kahlo Images I'd like to have on some. You spend more on incense than moi, we are indeed kindred Spirits I think. Except, you Bake Bread... and... I don't Bake anything... but I have been known to hit the Local Bakeries often, does that count?
ReplyDeleteYou're off the hook - from everything I read over at your place you barely have time to hit the Ritz, much less dick around with bread; geeze!
DeleteMr Cleese is quite gangly so perhaps Walmart had to print onto such a big t-shirt to fit all his arms and legs in?
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of t-shirts: Starfleet Academy!!* [I've only seen the first ep, but it's better than I expected. Unfortunately, it's been cancelled, apparently. There is a second season on it's way though, but that's that :( ]
* I'm ignoring the Croc horror as I see Maddie's already punished you.
Love the shirt, if you can print another one in the right size. I bet you could sell these shirts. Who the hell doesn't like John Cleese? No one I'd bother talking too! Mmmm, sourdough bread. At least you have one cool place to rely on for helping to keep you distracted and sane.
ReplyDeleteJohn Cleese! Fawlty Towers, A Fish Called Wanda, and absolutely all things Monty Python!! I love your shirt, sweetpea. Like IDV, I shall refrain from any commentary of the dreaded Crocs. xoxo
