If you’ve never read the site Go Fug Yourself, I need to explain what a scroll-down fug is. It is an outfit that when you look online at the picture of the person wearing it, at the top you’re thinking, “This isn’t that bad,” but by the time you scroll down to the bottom of the picture you may see any manner of things, including peeking bajingos and you’re thinking, “Dear God, WHY?!”
In the most recent SEEN over at the P-G, we are treated to our very own Scroll-Down Yinz Fug:
Do you see what happened there? You were at the top and you saw the hair and the eyes and you said, “Cute girl.” Then you got to the mustache and you said, ” … or, guy …” And then you scrolled down to the shirt and you said, “… who’s dressed like a silky pirate …” and then you got to the hot pants/skirt/I see a bulge there and you said, ” … um, a cross-dressing pirate …” and then you got to the hairy legs and you said, “… what the frickity frack am I looking at in one of America’s Great Newspapers?! …” And then you got to the bottom and you said ” … Did his horse steal his pants, maybe? I quit. Where’s the eye bleach?”
Scary how I read your mind isn’t it?
As reader jennviolet, who brought the picture to my attention wrote, “I love Pittsburgh.”
That’s church.

Do you think the other guy in this picture was thinking those same thoughts or was he all “you look hot!” to his friend?
This has my office laughing out loud…..

I had forgotten to grab my PG before I left for work this morning, so when I went home for lunch, I grabbed it out of my mailbox. When I got back to work, I took out the Magazine section and was greeted with that picture.
So, in the immortal words of Nancy Kerrigan… “Why! Why! Why!!!!!!”

Wow, it takes a lot of balls to wear that outfit.. I guess in this guys case maybe not so much balls.. LMAO!!!!

I just can’t wait until this person’s defenders start posting on here.
I can just read it now….
“hey, c’mon, YOU don’t even KNOW thommy conroy. first it was pigeons, then it was steeler penises, and now you talk trash on thommy. how DARE you. I mean, thommy is a burgeoning fashion ICON, and I just can’t understand how you all can be hatin’. I mean, sure, the lines for drinks were 20 miles long and the valet parking situation sucked. but, he is STILL a “super creative ‘event architect’”. I mean, there was HONEY TASTING! how can you bust on that? and, he spells his name with an unnecessary “h” — how many of you would have the COURAGE to even do that? have you no SHAME?”
-
Ed P. Says:
Can you arrest a guy for abusing Chuck Taylor’s?
-
toni Says:
I think Thommy should stand on a Pittsburgh street corner dressed like that for G-20. The terrorists would either run like hell or stand in line knee deep for a date with him. And we’d save the 8 million descreency Lukey and Danny are arguing over.

I held this picture up at my lunch table today and said, “What is going on here?! Why is the Post Gazette printing this?!” I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed the crazy.

If it wasn’t for the shadow behind his head I would swear it was photoshopped on there! I can’t decide which is funnier – the original post or the comments. Made my day!

Um, my mom and grandma came running when they heard the noise I made at this picture. They thought I’d hurt myself.

Hey! He stole that shirt from Prince!! I don’t know where the hot pants came from, but they need to go back there.

these 2 certainly beat Lamont and his BFF who starred in the the tanning trials for darker skinned Burghers chronicled by PG (pronounced PittGirl) in PG’s post Oh, Lamont
the hair isn’t better, though the entertainment value of the fashions is.

Donncha wins.

Alert to thommy, pittgirl called and she wants her do-me boots back.
Uh, cancel that.
Nice tie, same color X-Gov. Ridge sports (not to be confused with Gov. X). Trendy.

Angie :-) Says:
I LOVE that right next to the picture- in the article are the following words: “…That’s especially true if they’re young, hip, well-dressed and engaged in making this community a more interesting place.”
I SRSLY hope they were NOT talking about the drag queen pirate outfit.

noside15212 Says:
hopeless and ill-conceived notion of hipster pittsburgh –even for a 40 something gay artiste/event architect. it’s as if the image of our city doesn’t even matter to him. his fashion aesthetic is so downright reckless that one must assume that in addition to hating himself, he absolutely loathes pittsburgh. why would he so purposefully try to hurt pittsburgh? the damage to our city’s reputation is incalculable. . . and i hate him for it.

Special Ed Says:
They remind of T&A

Linda Says:
I think they’re adorable.
But not in the newspaper. One of America’s Great Newspapers needs less attention to their new web adventure and more to editing. Editors don’t run a picture of two citizens in the paper, purportedly to show what’s “young, hip, well-dressed and engaged in making this community a more interesting place” when they are obviously doing one of the following: 1) secretly snickering about holding said citizens up to ridicule, 2) demonstrating their own bizarre taste because they sincerely believe the “young, hip, well-dressed” part. This choice was either mean or clueless and neither strikes me as very “Pittsburgh.”

What, he didn’t shave his legs??? Looks like the shirt was part of the decor and made of drapery material.
Sweet.

Is this THE Thommy? c.1980 seems a little odd…

I had that same exact outfit planned for Casual Friday, but given the negative feedback from the posters on here, I guess I’ll have to take it back to Goodwill.
