Talk To Us Tuesday ~ Should smuggling grapes be illegal?

If you are here for another week of TTUT with my wonderful friend and co host IA thanks for coming by. I failed miserably last week making the rounds, I only visited a handful of you and I'm sorry. I do however have an excuse, the girls were off of school and it was my hubbies birthday. As far as having an excuse for not making it by the rest of the week I have nothing other than I suck, please forgive me! 


I am sick with what I feel to be another sinus infection but Dr. Quaksalot says it's just a virus. Whatever! I filed a complaint with the office manager about him and asked the girls Pediatrician, who I adore, for a recommendation for a new primary care provider for Babe and I. Anyway, I just drank half a bottle of NyQuil in hopes of getting some sleep tonight and then ran crawled upstairs to put together something entertaining for y'all. Please forgive me if this is only funny because I just downed more than the recommended dose of cherry flavored moonshine! 


While I was staring at my computer in a total NyQuil stupor I watched as my screen filled with random pictures over the past 6+ years. Then I saw it. This picture is the freaking golden ticket. Who needs Willy Freaking Wonka when you have a picture like this? 




You.Are.Welcome! 

Speedos. Banana Hammocks. Grape Smugglers. Whatever you choose to call them I call them wrong! 


It was 2005 and the triangle had a trip planned to Key West. The big joke leading up to our vacation was that Babe was going to bring his Speedo. He did not have a Speedo but what he did have was a wife with a twisted mind and his very own sick sense of humor. Which for the record makes us the perfect couple! 


I purchased a Speedo, two size too small for my then big boy, and packed it for what would become one of the most memorable moments of our trip. While our friends changed into their suits and jumped into our private lagoon pool  Babe slipped into his electric blue show-stopper. 


They were relaxing in the pool when we came out, my camera in hand, Babes Speedo tucked beneath his board shorts. While I distracted them he dropped his drawers and did his best Captain Morgan impersonation. 


I do believe this picture is proof that a picture can be worth a thousand words. 


Any guesses as to the words spinning through our friends heads?


Sadly, he was not the only man on Key West who packed a Speedo. I'm just glad he had the good taste to leave it hanging on the hook back at the house. 





This Speedo made another appearance 2 years ago when a friend of Honey's asked to borrow a suit from Babe, as a joke Babe presented him with the Speedo. This kid was so excited to wear that stupid thing that he asked if he could keep it. The Speedo Surprise has graced another generation and I couldn't be more proud!


You are linking up with us today right? You know we'll love you long time if you do!

Look at all the serious speedo people! WOW! Do they know how ridiculous they look?

Amanda said...

who is the hunk with the shaved head and is he single? Not even the speedo could distract me from him. :)

Liberty said...

Bawahahahahaha!!

Ha
Ha
Ha!

I Love that he would actually do that! Mind would rather die a slow painful death.

Nadine Hightower said...

My hub had a speedo but it was cute pair of regular swimtrunks. All our friends were in fear of what might show up whe we said, he was comin' and would be wearin' his speedo. Only to see speedo stitched across his butt. Lots and lots of laughs!

Thanks for the early am giggle.

Mom in High Heels said...

Ugh, you should come to Europe. A speedo is costume de rigueur at beaches and pools here. I can deal with topless beaches and pools, but speedos are just too much.

Stacy Uncorked said...

My laptop almost got bathed in coffee. That. Is. Hysterical! I love that your hubby shares your sense of humor - I bet you guys would be a kick to hang out with!!

Thanks again for hosting - have a great week! :)

Non-School Snow Day and School Non-Fun

I love how men think that look actually flies. Unless you're an underwear model, probably not!

becca said...

omg that too funny we have a running joke in our family with my mom every year we go to disney and we hit at least one water park and wouldn't you know that every year we manage to find the guy that is either to big or too old for a spedo following us. it's karma i tell you.

Heather's Happenings said...

LMAO!!! I love the WTF look the bald guy has!

VandyJ said...

Honestly the only body a speedo looks good on is the built high school swimmer's body. Not that I've seen on in a very long time. However if Turbo continues to swim, I may get to see some eventually. Hey appreciating a nicely cut body is not wrong.

missy. said...

haha that is fantastic. loved it!

kourtney said...

OMG hilarious!! I love that you bought it smaller too...extra huggin on those parts!
As for the other perpetrators,ewww! The guy huggin his woman...he has to have borrowed her bikini bottoms. Nast-ay.
J jokes about having speedo undies. I may just surprise him...

Myya said...

I love that you took that pic, I love the look on everyone in the pools face... Priceless!

MiMi said...

That bald guy in the pool!!! LOLOLOL!!!! His face; he's horrified!

Lourie said...

Speedo's...should be called speed-no's. hahahaha. Too funny.

Amy said...

Johanson Family said...

Probably why I keep watching the LMFAO Sexy & I know it Video... its so wrong but I still watch! hah

Date Girl said...

Banana hammocks everywhere! Yes he is going to kill you for posting this. Hehehe.

Hope you feel better soon. I swear by lots of garlic when I'm sick. Helps knock whatever it is out of my system. Get well soon!

Emmy said...

Lol! That is hilarious. Love the reactions- too funny!

And yea, unless you are a competitive swimmer, please don't wear a speedo.

angel shrout said...

BWhahahah Gene wouldn't do a Speedo but he has put on one of my nighties before ahem. I laughed till I nearly peed myself

Suzi said...

Absolutely priceless!!! Don't our friends bring out the best in us? Some of our groups get-togethers lead to the best stories!
(li'l jam hands)

Xazmin said...

Bahahaha! That. is. AWESOME.

But seriously - speedos are gross. Like, super gross.

Especially when you're at the county pool with a bunch of 1st and 2nd graders for a end of year partay, and there is a 60 year old guy in a speedo that is so "worn" thread-bare in the front that you can almost see through it. Not that that's ever happened to me. Sick.

Connie said...

That's awesome!

So glad that Babe has a good sense of humor!

Vivienne @ the V Spot said...

Thank you for making me pee my pants a little...

KL said...

More evidence why Americans are viewed by the rest of the world as being ignorant and stupid.

Shawn said...

KL

Ignorant and stupid you say! Let me ask you do you mean Americans as a whole or just little ol' me, the author of this post? Your choice of words are a little harsh don't you think?

I would love to thank you personally for your less than kind words but it seems that you like to hide behind the screen of anonymity. You also have no email linked to your profile, I'm thinking it's because you like to stir the pot but aren't man enough to hand what comes your way in return. As a result you have left me no choice but to reply here, oh and next Tuesday on the front page of my blog because this is a perfect TTUT post!

If you wanted to play nice I would simply say I'm sorry I offended you but it seems that you don't want to do that. So I'll leave it at this, you my dear KL have no sense of humor! Maybe it's because you have the personality of a dry piece of toast or that you lack the ability to fill out your own beloved speedo making this no laughing matter in your eyes, either way I really don't care.

Clearly, or maybe not so clearly for some, this was meant as a joke. My advice to you is to lighten up or buy your next Speedo in the next size up!
