Things Never To Do Under Any Circumstances.
Don't tug on Superman's cape
Don't spit into the wind
Don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And for god's sake, never EVER make fun of a man who is both wearing cableknit mittens and holding a shotgun.
Trust us on this one.

Greg Evigan? Is that you?

It's safe to make fun of his clothes AND insult his mother for knitting them. How's he going to pull the trigger while wearing mittens?
Posted by: Sheri | Jan 24, 2006 8:56:22 AM
Can he even pull the trigger with those bulky mittens on?
Posted by: Julie | Jan 24, 2006 8:57:36 AM
LOL Sheri - great minds think alike!
I was thinking maybe his wife put them on him to prevent him from scratching some icky rash. He looks pretty frustrated.

We've got this guy all wrong...He's not as stupid as he looks, literally. Those mittens prevented any gun shot residue from getting on his hands when he "took care" the little missus for insisting he wear this. It was August for Pete's sake! Why did she have to make him wear it out on the front porch? In front of all the neighbours? He was just too sick of it all. It was the very last straw...

Oh God I love this......

You can't pull the trigger with mittens on, never mind reloading.
Posted by: Kris | Jan 24, 2006 10:29:00 AM
I think I'm more scared of the moustache than I am of the shotgun!

Back. Away. Slowly.

Does he have tan pants on....or no pants on at all??
Posted by: Wendy | Jan 24, 2006 12:43:56 PM
The pants were not included, sadly enough. What you CAN'T see are the nugget warmers that WERE.
Posted by: Cidliness | Jan 24, 2006 12:58:41 PM
he's a pathetic little man whose wife/mommie dresses him funny...no matter wot is warmin the nuggies, they have still shrunk into oblivion
Posted by: d34dpuppy | Jan 24, 2006 1:08:02 PM
The scarf is so...pretty. I want it. Does it come without the guy?
Posted by: | Jan 24, 2006 1:33:55 PM
You don't even get to make fun of this guy if his cable knit mitts have a "dummy string". The mitts you see are to give you a "sporting chance" - you get a running start while he's pulling them off and he gets to show how good a shot he is when he blasts a couple of loads of double aught buck (or rock salt if he's feeling kindly) into you're scrawny arse. Only fair doncha know.
Posted by: Brent | Jan 24, 2006 4:43:37 PM
That scarf is pretty. That sort of shotgun would be easily reloadable while wearing mittens, but he'd have to pull the trigger with his thumb.
Posted by: Liz | Jan 24, 2006 7:57:47 PM
The only thing missing in the ensemble is the cable-knit ski mask for when he goes down to hold up the liquor store...
Posted by: Kathryn | Jan 24, 2006 10:26:22 PM
This was cute! Thanks for the laugh...I could use it today. ;o)
Posted by: Dorothy | Jan 24, 2006 10:36:12 PM
Totally repulsed but yet can't look away. I'm convinced that those are not tan pants. I think I see a small mole or.... blemish {{{shudder}}}

Slim looks fabulous in this pristine white sweater set. Must be the "post-bloody-pool-room-brawl" photo. Too bad the mounted head of Big Jim Walker wasn't ready in time for the photo.
You ladies make me laugh until it hurts. And I mean that in a GOOD way.
Your fan in Chattanooga...

I'm trying to come up with a "Jim Crochet" joke to go along with the song, but it just isn't working.
If only it weren't knitted fashions being featured!
Posted by: bb | Jan 25, 2006 10:14:34 PM
I think perhaps he knit these himself and he doesn't want you to think he's a sissy for doing so. I reckon there's a secret little hole in them there mittens for his trigger finger, so I'd be careful around this one... don't mess around with "Jim". A doot de dootde de doot doot-n doot-n...
Posted by: Marg | Jan 26, 2006 7:53:53 AM
So why does everyone assume that this is a guy?
Posted by: question mark | Jan 26, 2006 6:12:35 PM
To: question mark.
Gee I don't know maybe it's the MOUSTACHE or the FIVE O'Clock SHADOW??? So, like, yer saying this could be the "bearded lady" on loan from the circus??
Posted by: toiletpaper | Jan 27, 2006 12:38:03 PM
If these are meant for shooting why the hell didn't they make the mittens like those (I think) Swedish military ones with the one finger?
I think these is for sittin', not shootin'.
Posted by: severina | Jan 28, 2006 5:44:15 PM
What concerns me is that at first glance, I thought he was sitting in a living room or sun porch. INSIDE. With a shotgun. That spells unbalanced to me!
Posted by: allison | Jan 29, 2006 6:21:21 PM
It's been a long winter and the duck blind isn't working as well as he had hoped. He only hopes his wife will appreciate his new found skill.
Posted by: Matt | Jan 31, 2006 2:12:59 AM
At first glance, I believe the pants to be missing as well! This whole get up is disturbing in oh so many ways. As Dorothy stated, it makes me shudder too! Eweeee!

Obviously Tom Berenger's career had a very lowly start...
Posted by: lulu | Jan 31, 2006 10:45:48 PM
Yep, some Yeti hunters just do it for the sport of it. Some hunt them the meat. But in the spirit of our great Native American forefathers I use every single part of the beast -- including it's woolly white pelt..
Posted by: Inky | Feb 7, 2006 1:18:24 PM
With or without pants, he's still scrawny. Lookit those legs.
Posted by: jfasoga | Feb 17, 2006 7:40:53 PM
anyone know tom berenger's email address, i would like to send him an email because people are constantly telling me I look like him since 1994, its getting out of hand
Posted by: rick | Mar 4, 2006 2:19:54 AM
And you don't mess around with Jim.
Yeah. Another old timer who still misses Jim Croce's music.
More then buddy holly. More then John Lennon.
Almost as much as Harry Chapin.
