The funniest thing in this photo might be the 5 lbs drum of Redvines.
That was the first thing I noticed too. Freakin’ hilarious.
C’mon! It’s gonna be a long night! It’s going to take 5lbs of sugar to keep them going.
It’s part of their costumes.
we call this “tuesday” where Im from. Whats the big deal here?
Bet there is Mr. Pibb in those red cups.
Sounds crazy delicious.
Is it Sunday already?
pibb and cuervo, baby…
Pancho returned from the restroom eager to resume the yahtzee game with his compadres. To his horror he found them thumbing through his diary. He stroked his mustache and slowly unholstered his six-shooter…the legend was about to begin.
I love it!
Nice. I smell a new Coen Brothers movie…or at least a novel…
I wonder how tequila they drank before this picture was taken.
This is also very convincingly photoshopped.
Might I add, poorly photoshopped?
ditto
I’m definitely calling photoshop on this one. AFP should take it down! No cheaters on this site!!!
Hmm shadows are all right, might be Ps’ed
notice no reflection of any of the “ladies” in the window though the trees from across the street are reflected which means you know the light was hitting the window in a way that caused it to be reflective.
Thanks! I was just trying to figure that out.
Ya, pretty fake.
Once again these accusations are baffling. Paul, how do you distinguish between something that is “very convincingly photoshopped” and something that’s just a photo? It’s almost saying that it must be photoshopped because it looks legit.
Let’s apply Ockham’s razor. It’s possible someone found photos of three sombreros which happened to be at angles corresponding to the direction of the heads and happened to be lit correctly. It’s possible. But it strikes me as much less possible than simply snapping a picture of older women wearing sombreros.
You might want to call off the protest march, Jenni.
This. Photoshop is not the 3rd man on the grassy knoll, people.
Calm it down. At this point, people are going to cry photoshop for everything, as a JOKE, that you are just not getting.
Yes.. And this “poorly photoshopped” picture, was ironically done by a master of photoshop that knows how to deal with light, reflection, as well as shadows.
So even if it was photoshopped, which is neither here nor there seeing as though it is still a funny idea, this “photoshopped” picture would still have been done very well.
I’ve never been to a “wear a sombrero/fake moustache and balance your checkbook party!”
I’ve passed a few invites up…but after seeing this photo I may just give it a try.
Same here.but Hey,if theres redvines,then heck,lets go balance a checkbook with a sombrero on
Excellent!
Given the amount of red licorice they consume, it is no wonder they have moustaches!
Best..caption..ever!!
Eye carumba!!!
Best caption yet!
I wanna meet those gals. I’ll bet they’re a HOOT!
Yes we are!
Aww, I think this is adorable!
AGREED!!!
These are the kind of people I need in my life.
nice caption!
Monthly collection for Just For Men Mustache and Beard Black #2
And this is why I’m cryogenically freezing myself before I reach my sixties. Ole!
probably a good idea to wait til you’re dead, cloud
Maybe someone hypnotized them with that yellow and black spinning object.
Someone forgot to take her hormones…
MWA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!
i give them mad props for the red vines! yes!
I’ll bet they’re drinking Mr. Pibb. (The combo is crazy delicious.)
…que…?
hahahha notice the red vines
This photo isn’t awkward, it’s awesome!
Totally agree, couldn’t be less awkward!
Hahaha…I LOVE this!!! These ladies rock!!!
But just wait until they break into “My Little Buttercup”.
LOL!!
I hear next week the trio will be wearing Lederhosen and eating Milk Duds as they continue their salute to Cultures of the World.
Good one, Lily!
Hahahaha
Those hats are photoshopped on. The mustaches, too it looks like.
Kill joy!!
anyone notice the faint double exposure at the top left corner behind the green sombrero? You can see the transparent corner of a chair, a lamp, and a bit of curtains. Well I’m assuming it is a lamp, its hard to tell cause most of it is behind the chair.
I’m pretty sure you’re looking through a window there.
Dude, it’s called a reflection. If you look at THE REST OF THE PICTURE, you’ll see the ladies are on some sort of patio, and your mystery “double exposure” is a window at the side of the building. Eat some more red licorice and your perception will improve.
Yah Matt, good call on the double exposure eh.
Next one to mention the Redvines gets a compound bow.
all hopped up on Red Vines……shame.
Badges? We don’t need no stinkin badges!!!
Not awkward.
Let’s just hope Greg doesn’t see it!
I hope when I get really old, that I am just like these ladies. They look fun!
We are!!!
very funny but what’s with the licorice?
Gracias por ser un amiga
Amigas De Oro!
Lady #1: En St. Olaf, Halston Schnoopflavoraguen tene un grande pene. Los caballos eran envidioso.
Lady #2: !Ay callate, Rosita!
Lady #3: !Vamos a come cheesecake!
NICE!
Kenny FTW!
As long as your stars and stripes match, you’re set.
Not awkward. Sweet!
I’m not sure what the theme is supposed to be, but I have a feeling they have one of those old-school, horribly un-PC names for it.
I’m not really feeling the awkward nor the family in this photo. :/
The Golden Girls er boys hahahaah.
I’m afraid to ask what the devil the little brown thing on the corner of the table is…
Now that’s going to bug me. What IS that?
When I get old, I’m going to wear sombreros, eat red-vines, and walk around in fake mustaches. Just you watch.
Why wait? Last week we had a fake mustache & eyebrow kit, and they became soul patches, unibrow, sideburns, … it was awesum! My sides are still sore!
Gracias por ser un amigo.
Cinco de Mayo is a magical time of year at Shady Oaks Nursing Home.
HAHAHA!
This is cool!!!!!!
the women in left immediately got my attention with her star covered white capri pants. Oh! There’s a matching sweater too, didn’t see it at first. God bless America!
So this is actually a few of my great aunts, the story is that we always have another world holiday instead of the fourth of july (hence the stars and stripes outfit). To the person who said something about lederhosen, this year’s theme was Oktoberfest. Pictures are forthcoming.
These ladies are under hypnosis…check the spinning black and yelllow wheel in the background
Doris: We have to be in and out in sixty seconds
Ethel: I’ll grab the money from the tellers, you two watch for the cops
Gladys; What if the security cameras get our picture?
Doris: That’s where the disguises come in, they’ll be putting an APB out on three Mexican men
They made a run for the border but after 10 feet they needed to rest.
i hope my sense of humor is this good when i’m old and grey!
