The story

  • Not so long ago, my friend Kevin cleaned out his wardrobe, which, due to his pack rat nature, was crammed with clothes he hadn't worn in more than a decade. Among the discarded were 25 sweaters that can generously be described as "hideous." Or, as one critic put it, "Bill Cosby would not wear this." Kevin's defense? "I worked at Marshalls in North Olmsted, Ohio, during high school and got a 15 percent discount. It was cold. It was the late '80s." The horror, the horror. Click here to see them, but be warned. Your eyes. The burning.

Only two days til Christmas ...

Magnet... and if you haven't gotten anything, might we suggest a calendar, shirt, mug or lovely refrigerator magnet from Bad Sweater Guy's store? No, we can't guarantee holiday delivery. But a nice e-mail with a link here will fill them with such anticipation, they'll fall into a shock coma and not wake up until it arrives. Really. We've seen it happen. Happy Holidays.
