Mankini: Its NOT MINE! Honest!
This message was on my computer today. Be glad it was not on yours. Be VERY glad.
Well . . firstly, I didnt buy it. Really, its not mine [Austin Powers voice] but my teenage son really did bid on it and apparently won.
Secondly, it hasnt arrived but when it does, I will let them know that it took too long to arrive. We don't get many sunny days around here so you have to take advantage of them when they come.





wow...there are no words (other than "wow")

Blame the son sounds very similar to blame the dog. Fess up - it's yours.

Wonder what the odds are of your Mankini episodes making the newspaper like this bloke -

Hey just a thought... pretty random after what i just saw.... it will take me weeks to get that image out of my head!
ummmmm why not put out the dialogue with John Crowder and Mike M--- from mike's blog. It's reallllllllllllllllllllly good! - as you know... but it would be cool to get it out there more. I talked to Mike- he wouldn't mind. I really think that there is gonna me more of this stuff coming up and out.... and John's response was and is amazing. (then again- you know i'd love it anyway)

Looks like it is time for a serious, man to man, heart to heart, conversation with your son! ;)

You should def. model it... I sense a new banner image coming up! You could also reverse-engineer it and sell them in the Sorting Room, could start a new Orcadian Fashion Craze! Especially if you keep your hat on for the photo!
