I Have Questions

Aug 21

I apologize in advance for the content of this post.  I am shaking my head while I type this, but I can’t stop myself.

While texting with my neighbor/friend earlier today about random goings on in the neighborhood he sent me the following picture, which left me with many, many questions.

First of all, why?  Why are two scary-looking tatted men sitting together in a bathtub, one backed up to the other?  Why is one almost smiling and the other looks more fierce?  Are they naked or wearing swim trunks?  Are they father/son, neighbors, BFFs, cousins or lovers?  Is there water in the tub?  That looks like bubble bath in the background; do you suppose they used it?  Who took this picture and why?  Were they told the picture would be deleted immediately?  Was this a gang initiation?  Did they know they would end up on the internet?  Do they know they are on the internet?  Do you think they killed the photographer?  What weapon do you suppose they used if they did?  Have their mothers seen this?  What about their children – if any?  Do you think they belong to an a capella group and the tattoos and hard looks are fake?

I Googled, “Two Mexicans in a bathtub” and I was brought to epicfail.com.  It got 7,343 fails and 1.6k Facebook likes.  I don’t even know how much 1.6k is!  Surprisingly it only got 26 Tweets.  What?  I would totally tweet it myself if I wasn’t blogging about it instead.

So now my question is, what does this picture/post say about me?

    I am going to focus on the white tile, which is surprisingly clean. Yes, that is me judging. Judging that men decorated with tattoos would keep a tub clean. The underpart of the sink has a bit of mold, but – honestly, I’ll cut them some slack, because – again, the tile in the tub doesn’t look too shabby.

    *shudder* Where is the ‘Unsee” button? For the love of all that brings sweet dreams, where is the ‘unsee’ button??

  2. It says you didn’t grow up hanging out at gay bars when you were under-aged. But that’s okay – I’m still fascinated after all these years. Thanks for asking…

  3. OMG !

  4. What’ the problem here? Am I the only one that thinks this would make a great Holiday Card!

    You know what would make that photo worse? If you knew one of the guys.

    Which I don’t.

    Just for the record.
