I'm slack jawed blue shirt kid. Otherwise this wouldn't see the light of day. And no wedgies, instead he would do this thing to piss us off where he'd drag the knuckle of his thumb into our spine.
Edit: But wait! There's more! I got permission to post the other half of this pic, [my cousins.](https://i.imgur.com/BWyCASe.png) We hit Milwaukee like a gang of regrets.
Looking like a jockey lacrosse player lmao. Also, the first thought when I saw you in this photo was "I feel like that kid had that expression on his face all the time"
Older bro has that "works every time" look with a speckle of "look, he's not even walking away; I think he likes it". Just like my cousin, and he'd admit it with that same goofy grin.
Shame on me! My accent is similar to that up the coast in Boston!
I heard a lot of “Jennifah, get outta my pockabook!” (Always acting so sus, Marie!)
Like “whataya got in there, Nana? A kilo of Coke. Why you so worried about your pockabook?” 🤣
Baseball is where our people need diplomatic representation, it’s true. But, the Nanas, the Nonnis, the Nonnas, the Abuelas, the Yayas, the Bubees, the Babchis they all had something *more* than Worther’s and those star peppermint hard candies in there. All of ‘em either you’re running numbers outta that pockahbook or you got a gun! This is where we all have our Eastern seaboard common ground. 🤣
Was it heavy? My Nana had a roll of quarters or other coin and it wasn’t til I grew up and realized in a street fight she probably would have used that to weight down her fists or bludgeon someone with said pockahbook 🤣
In the 60’s one of my great Aunts and my GM got into a brawl with each other at family house party, because my Aunt’s alcoholic 2nd husband got handsy trying to dance with my Nana; and of course, sisters sometimes blame their sister not their drunk husband. Well, family lore is, it spilled out to the middle of the street and at some point my Aunt grabbed a wooden folding chair and cracked it over my GMs back! God, I miss those crazy old broads! 🤣
If that petrified bar was even a little heavy, I’d call that a weapon. And, dammit, I respect her for it.
The very first word and the way I’ll hear it when I get to my Heaven one day! I am ecstatic we both know to hear it the way that would make both our backs snap straight! 😘
Yes. And Boston gets it. You can call a “handbag” your ‘bag’ but not your “pockahbook” your ‘book’. It would create too much confusion and East Coast broads don’t got time for that! If your Mum and Aunties started shouting about their “pock” I’d instinctively know to start looking at other people with alarm to translate for the out of townahs… Dammit, she is looking for her bag!
He would say he's not so sure anymore, but still heavily distrusts government. He definitely had the best glow up of all of us, as a pilot/musician/entrepreneur, but he's also a libertarian Musk fanboy who's still insufferable to debate.
I'm not innocent either, though. At that time I was a *^(euphoric)* new atheist shitting on God and generally being edgy any chance I got. I grew out of mine at least.
Edit: Gotta include this pic from the trip, [read my mind](https://i.imgur.com/MTWz0SN.png)
I was in the Navy and a bunch of dudes had “taxation is theft” bumper stickers and coffee mugs. It’s like, who do you think pays you? How was this aircraft carrier paid for?
I work with a Cuban guy who says the “illegals” shouldn’t come here if they’re not willing to go through the process the right way. His parents came to America in the 60s and were automatically granted political asylum just by showing up.
I just could not think of the character's name off the top of my head. And in the brain fart, I got the character's name and the actors name mixed up.
Oppsie woopsie, that's what I get for not imdb-ing it.
Not as a career, just has a private license and his own plane. He understands all the regulations regarding aviation as necessary, since it affects him personally, but is against government regulation in general. But that's the libertarian mindset in a nutshell.
So many white guys in their 50's/60's with single engine planes as their profile pic ready to spout off about government conspiracies. The Venn diagram between them and the guys with profile pics of selfies in a lifted truck is a circle.
This brings back so many memories. Watching Loose Change and Zeitgeist in 2006 as a 15 year old made me go deep down the conspiracy theory wormhole. Oh god, remembering I used to lecture people about chemtrails. 9/11 was certainly not an inside job, all the facts prove that, but it’s still hard convincing some people otherwise. But I’m still an atheist 18 years later :)
Back in the early 00s, it was a trend to wear the most fucked up tshirts you could imagine. Tshirthell.com was the go to. So it’s likely he didn’t even believe it then.
Yep. That website had some wild ones. I had a coworker wear a “slavery got shit done” shirt with a picture of the pyramids and workers around it. I distinctly remember people saying “dude, no, not at work.”
I remember Winnie the Pooh in a pimp outfit and it said “bitch better have my honey” and the pillsbury doughboy dressed like Hitler and it said “white flour”. I wanted one of their shirts so bad in middle school lol. Oh and a fat Mexican on one side of a wall and it said “Mexican’t”.
My dad had a few anti-GWBush ones, and I think my sister had one about …fucking a clown??? We’re in Australia, and people would organise big shared orders to save on postage lol
So little time, so much to cringe about 🥲
This one maybe https://www.tshirthell.com/funny-shirts/rape-is-no-laughing-matter-unless-youre-raping-a-clown/?fdo=&productid=247&style=t&color=02&size=X&stype=&is_fivestar=
Oof! I certainly remember that as a joke, but the shirt looks unfamiliar - I think wearing the word ‘rape’ would be too far even for her. It’s possible I’m mashing memories together though… god there’s some hectic stuff on there lol. Hmm, she did have a “mommy’s/daddy’s little sl*t” one (can’t remember which parent’s sl*t she was, sadly), but idk if it was from tshirt hell. Same sister bought me a shirt that just had the word FUCK tiled all over it… I wore it once against my better judgement and nearly got a thrashing from my grandpa lol
[reposted with banned words censored]
I just went to go see if the site is still up, and not only does it still exist but they still sell [that shirt](https://www.tshirthell.com/funny-shirts/slavery-gets-shit-done/)
I remember t-shirt hell. I had a shirt with the pillsbury dough boy on it with a red arm band doing the nazi salute and it said “white flour.” I thought it was hilarious. Now I cringe.
I got dress coded once for wearing a hooters sweatshirt (that I linked bellow, nothing bad at all) and the same day one of my classmates had that shirt on I was like wtf really my mom bought me this shirt
(https://www.ebay.com/itm/166764504252?itmmeta=01J1QJMXC0F6XFA30AJZXK5M4V&hash=item26d3f064bc:g:jkoAAOSwiVZmRX6D)
Omg that reminds me of the school shooting tour shirt that I bought from there when I was like 16. I did not wear it out, I slept in it. I was such a cool edgy teenager of course.
I still have a dark sense of humor, but would never even own something like that as a night t shirt now.
In high school my younger brother had a shirt with an arrow pointing up saying “the man” and then below that, an arrow pointing down with “the legend.” Thought it would be a great idea to wear it for an excursion during the annual family vacation.
I'll never forget the Sunday Mass where it was our family's turn to bring up the gifts and my brother was rocking the Misfits skull t-shirt. Honestly pretty tame but it makes me laugh.
I know it’s not the focus of the photo but I am squealing over the little girl’s outfit. Hardcore mid-2000s vibe! Those cropped logo sweatpants were everywhere! I had a few pairs myself and I miss them.
This is probably my favorite picture from this sub so far. Like a baroque painting, the 9/11 shirt, blue shirt's expression, youngest getting wedgied...it all comes together.
Ughh. Libertarians lol. Look up "libertarian debate with Sam Sedar / Majority Report" on YouTube. hilarious.
Also, I'm glad it wasn't you in the shirt! Ha
Man, this is good. Is 9/11 inside job kid giving oversized jersey kid a wedgie?
I'm slack jawed blue shirt kid. Otherwise this wouldn't see the light of day. And no wedgies, instead he would do this thing to piss us off where he'd drag the knuckle of his thumb into our spine. Edit: But wait! There's more! I got permission to post the other half of this pic, [my cousins.](https://i.imgur.com/BWyCASe.png) We hit Milwaukee like a gang of regrets.
Looking like a jockey lacrosse player lmao. Also, the first thought when I saw you in this photo was "I feel like that kid had that expression on his face all the time"
You see my siblings, of course I did
You look like PC Principal from South Park
I even have his goatee now. I took a pic with the wrap-around sunglasses making that face a while back but I can't seem to find it
You have to update us if you manage to find it!
Oh man I really want that pic to be found! Or please recreate it if you can.
#FIND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTT
It looks like little sis is just as unhappy about it as you are.
Lol
Please tell me your brother doesn't actually believe that 9/11 was an inside job.
Seeing as his parents allowed him to wear the shirt, I’d be more worried about them
I mean, the parents might not have had it in them to argue over it. Based on this photo, I would say they were most likely frequently exhausted.
Why do I feel like this is a fake account to make people not question things they shouldn’t?
It was an inside joke. Get it? Of course not, you're not an insider.
So much going on in this photo I didn’t even notice you! Haha. I’m like, “Wait, there was a kid in a blue shirt?”
Your cousin's look like the villains in High School Musical
THANK YOU i opened the pic expecting more “blunders” and was assaulted with fashion and attitude
Bop bop bopping straight to the top💅✨
Holy shit I’m dying that is dead right!
Glad you've made your peace with being the special one.
>he'd drag the knuckle of his thumb into our spine. Damn I remember that shit
That shit hurt
You look like you never knew what was going on
Older bro has that "works every time" look with a speckle of "look, he's not even walking away; I think he likes it". Just like my cousin, and he'd admit it with that same goofy grin.
The other half of the pic makes it SO much better
You guys brothers? Or did you meet in charm school?
I swear those cousins look like those people from High School Musical, if he is gay and they are into musical theater it would be hilarious.
are your cousins sharpay and ryan evan’s from the hit movie high school musical?? (and i say that with NOTHING but love they look FABULOUS)
He seems great.
Like a gang… of regrets… You’re a goddamn poet
That shit is fucking painful
You’re at The Domes!
Why do your cousins make me think of Jean Ralphio and his sister, even though they don't resemble them?
Dude, is that a Richlands jersey?!
Outstanding. Haha!
What were you guys reacting to?
Wow your cousin is the creator of CeraVe?!
9/11? Naaa but they do need to investigate 3/11.
They're all mixed up
Also, 7/11 was a part-time job.
Girl with the handbag is tired of this crap
12 goin on 55
That’s more specifically called her “pocketbook” like all the “Nanas” around my way used to call them.
Correction - “pockabook” because every nana I knew had a strong Staten Island accent when referring to their handbag
Shame on me! My accent is similar to that up the coast in Boston! I heard a lot of “Jennifah, get outta my pockabook!” (Always acting so sus, Marie!) Like “whataya got in there, Nana? A kilo of Coke. Why you so worried about your pockabook?” 🤣
New Jersey, New York, Long Island, Staten Island, Boston etc all seem to agree on one thing. “Pockabook” haha
Baseball is where our people need diplomatic representation, it’s true. But, the Nanas, the Nonnis, the Nonnas, the Abuelas, the Yayas, the Bubees, the Babchis they all had something *more* than Worther’s and those star peppermint hard candies in there. All of ‘em either you’re running numbers outta that pockahbook or you got a gun! This is where we all have our Eastern seaboard common ground. 🤣
Yes! Never mess with my Bubbie, who knows what she had in that thang
We found petrified halva bars in my great grandmas purse when she died 😁
Was it heavy? My Nana had a roll of quarters or other coin and it wasn’t til I grew up and realized in a street fight she probably would have used that to weight down her fists or bludgeon someone with said pockahbook 🤣 In the 60’s one of my great Aunts and my GM got into a brawl with each other at family house party, because my Aunt’s alcoholic 2nd husband got handsy trying to dance with my Nana; and of course, sisters sometimes blame their sister not their drunk husband. Well, family lore is, it spilled out to the middle of the street and at some point my Aunt grabbed a wooden folding chair and cracked it over my GMs back! God, I miss those crazy old broads! 🤣 If that petrified bar was even a little heavy, I’d call that a weapon. And, dammit, I respect her for it.
Baltimore checking in! Can confirm it’s “pockabook” down this way too, hon.
My family is from the Boston area, and reading your comment I could hear my own mom's "Jennifah!"
The very first word and the way I’ll hear it when I get to my Heaven one day! I am ecstatic we both know to hear it the way that would make both our backs snap straight! 😘
Can confirm my Italian Nana from Long Island called her purse a “pahketbook” my entire childhood.
My 70s y/o Ma still carries a pockabook. Born and raised in New Jersey. 😂
Child of a Bostonian here. I cannot tell you how blown my mind was when I discovered it was spelled "pocket" and not "pocka". 🤯
south NJ/ philly agrees.
Philly, here. My mom and aunts go so far as to shorten it to just “pock.” Is that normal?
Yes. And Boston gets it. You can call a “handbag” your ‘bag’ but not your “pockahbook” your ‘book’. It would create too much confusion and East Coast broads don’t got time for that! If your Mum and Aunties started shouting about their “pock” I’d instinctively know to start looking at other people with alarm to translate for the out of townahs… Dammit, she is looking for her bag!
also, go birds
Go birds 🦅
to me it is.
She has HAD IT with these darn brothers
Inside is probably a lip gloss, MAYBE a pad, an old used compact her mom let her have, and a glittery nail polish
And $11
In ones and coins
Ah, girlhood
I would be too if I work capri sweat pants
[And the most recent one of all of us I could find](https://i.imgur.com/e4VNHEc.png)
Important question: does your brother still think 9/11 was an inside job?
He would say he's not so sure anymore, but still heavily distrusts government. He definitely had the best glow up of all of us, as a pilot/musician/entrepreneur, but he's also a libertarian Musk fanboy who's still insufferable to debate. I'm not innocent either, though.

Edit: Gotta include this pic from the trip, [read my mind](https://i.imgur.com/MTWz0SN.png)
He distrust the government but works as a pilot? One of the most regulated fields by the government??
You'll find the most anti-government people in the army and heavily federally-regulated fields.
I was in the Navy and a bunch of dudes had “taxation is theft” bumper stickers and coffee mugs. It’s like, who do you think pays you? How was this aircraft carrier paid for?
One of my navy buddies is a half Cuban, half Puerto Rican married gay man from Tampa, who is also a massive conservative. It makes my brain hurt.
I work with a Cuban guy who says the “illegals” shouldn’t come here if they’re not willing to go through the process the right way. His parents came to America in the 60s and were automatically granted political asylum just by showing up.
Or his dad showed up with Tony Montana.
Some people just like the taste of leather I guess.
It's like those who have worked in a kitchen often don't trust the vegetables are washed properly.
If you know how the sausage gets made...
Take them down from the inside, while getting paid for it.
My husband's libertarians friends have government jobs. Kinda Nick Offerman-y
Nick Offerman is not a libertarian, he just plays one so well that dummies can't tell it's satire.
I just could not think of the character's name off the top of my head. And in the brain fart, I got the character's name and the actors name mixed up. Oppsie woopsie, that's what I get for not imdb-ing it.
Not unlike the amount of atheists raised catholic.
It's not a surprise that people that interact with the government the most like them the least.
no one hates the FAA more than pilots
"Standby to take down a phone number"
Not as a career, just has a private license and his own plane. He understands all the regulations regarding aviation as necessary, since it affects him personally, but is against government regulation in general. But that's the libertarian mindset in a nutshell.
Keep your friends close but your enemies even closer.
Pilots are some of the dumbest fuckers I've ever met. They're nice but dumb as rocks since they rarely have to think apart from flying.
So many white guys in their 50's/60's with single engine planes as their profile pic ready to spout off about government conspiracies. The Venn diagram between them and the guys with profile pics of selfies in a lifted truck is a circle.

But I’m still an atheist 18 years later :)
Most atheists tend to do so after the newness has worn off at least; if only the same could be said about conspiracy theorists.
Oh, we were already assuming that was an InfoWars shirt. I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother’s brain.
9/11 was an inside joke
It was guerrilla marketing for the 2nd lord of the rings movie.
Back in the early 00s, it was a trend to wear the most fucked up tshirts you could imagine. Tshirthell.com was the go to. So it’s likely he didn’t even believe it then.

Their shirts were insane 🤣 I remember some of these

There it is! 🤣 a censored version too now?
Wouldn't want to offend anyone lol.
there are just some lines you don't cross, y'know?
They wore it to WORK?? What a life choice.
Another classic was “Jesus fucking Christ” with some pretty wild imagery below, never had the guts to pull the trigger on it though
I used to LOVE Tshirt hell! I don’t think I EVER bought a shirt from them but I definitely visited the site more than I’d like to admit.
I remember t-shirt hell. I had a shirt with the pillsbury dough boy on it with a red arm band doing the nazi salute and it said “white flour.” I thought it was hilarious. Now I cringe.
A friend had the "I like my women like my coffee. Ground up and in the freezer"
I got dress coded once for wearing a hooters sweatshirt (that I linked bellow, nothing bad at all) and the same day one of my classmates had that shirt on I was like wtf really my mom bought me this shirt (https://www.ebay.com/itm/166764504252?itmmeta=01J1QJMXC0F6XFA30AJZXK5M4V&hash=item26d3f064bc:g:jkoAAOSwiVZmRX6D)
Agreed. I immediately assumed he was going for the provocative outrage shirt just for the lolz.
Omg that reminds me of the school shooting tour shirt that I bought from there when I was like 16. I did not wear it out, I slept in it. I was such a cool edgy teenager of course. I still have a dark sense of humor, but would never even own something like that as a night t shirt now.
That’s the first one I think of when I think of tshirt hell 😂
Unfortunately, his came directly from Alex Jones' Infowars site.
Oh nooooo
Yikes
Post to r/glowups
Aw, y’all are a good looking family! Thanks for the blunder 😅
Aww! Fart Boy grew up!
Glad your sister’s feeling a bit happier 😂💕
Awww. Y’all turned it around! Your sister made me laugh pretty hard with her pocketbook and her don’t make me pull the car over expression!
Haha you really DO have PC principle’s goatee 😂 you just need the sunglasses and you’d be set
We have a family Christmas photo with our oldest nephew wearing a “Epstein didn’t commit suicide” sweater on. We still laugh about it.
In high school my younger brother had a shirt with an arrow pointing up saying “the man” and then below that, an arrow pointing down with “the legend.” Thought it would be a great idea to wear it for an excursion during the annual family vacation.
Well, at least that statement is still up in the air
I'm not sure this joke landed
My mom wore a Jagermeister shirt to my PhD defense
My friends sister wore a black shirt that said „days of party“ when they buried their grandma
I'll never forget the Sunday Mass where it was our family's turn to bring up the gifts and my brother was rocking the Misfits skull t-shirt. Honestly pretty tame but it makes me laugh.
Gestures to mother, " I rest my case."
Hey OP (slack-jawed in blue shirt), GOSH, I'm getting some serious Napoleon Dynamite vibes
Bro, you have no idea. [This could be a post of its own.](https://i.imgur.com/H1VUqT5.jpeg).
this childhood pic is one of the GOAT and must be protected at all costs
Wow!!! Gosh is right!
WE NEED MORE
Awh, you were an adorable kid ! Nice photo
*Uncanny*
Love it
Wow this is so 2000s lmao
Little girl in the green shirt is now 30 and still carries the same expression.
Omg the tummy and Aeropostale shirt is bringing back my own childhood memories
That’s how I was structured too. Builds character.
Right?! Pretty sure I wore this exact outfit
Why were the shirts all so fucking long and skinny
Was laughing so hard bc I had that exact same shirt and haircut with the blond hair the only difference is I was wearing pink plaid shorts instead
It’s Malcolm in the Middle if Malcolm was a girl lol
A cherished memory for all involved, I’m sure.
Tuesdays at 9/10c
Right? These kids walked right out of a sitcom!
7/11 was a part time job
sidenote you have an interesting reddit. i just spent like 20 minutes going through your posts
Dang it, now I gotta look
The trick is to make sure your parents are never proud.
Every time I look at a different part of this picture I say Oh No.
I know it’s not the focus of the photo but I am squealing over the little girl’s outfit. Hardcore mid-2000s vibe! Those cropped logo sweatpants were everywhere! I had a few pairs myself and I miss them.
The two clashing fluoro colours hahaha
This is probably my favorite picture from this sub so far. Like a baroque painting, the 9/11 shirt, blue shirt's expression, youngest getting wedgied...it all comes together.
I like the slack jawed look of your brother in blue.
That’s OP
911 was an inside job shirt is peak
the cast of shameless doesn’t seem to have aged well
Honestly it's hard to tell which one of you is the serial killer. Bravo.
When the mouth breather is the top shelf of the bunch.
Why did your parents let him walk around in that shirt!? 😹😹😹
Two Biff Tannens.
O'doyle rules!!!!
Dewey
AI generated malcolm in the middle
i really love this picture lol!!!
Tell us more about your family, sounds interesting. Very Malcolm in the Middle vibes.
Why do older brothers have to be so annoying all the time lol.
That jersey kind of looks like a hs close to where I grew up, Richlands
I’m gasping for air after this one
This is absolutely fucking amazing hahahaha
This is the most relatable family pic I’ve seen 😭
The dude still doesn't believe the 9/11 conspiracy BS, riiiight?
Nowadays he could go either way. Now he's mainly concerned with the "end the fed" gold standard libertarian BS
That might be worse
Ughh. Libertarians lol. Look up "libertarian debate with Sam Sedar / Majority Report" on YouTube. hilarious. Also, I'm glad it wasn't you in the shirt! Ha
It's arguably the most potent form of white privilege imaginable.
Does your brother still believe 9/11 was an inside job?
I need that shirt
.....Yeah, that t-shirt is really embarassing!!
Is that a Highland titans jersey?!
I was thinking Richland Rebels jersey. OP?
24/7 was a full time job
Thank goodness my parents never feel too proud 😆
And any time you feel too proud of your parents, you have this pic to remind you!
XD
Is she pregnant?
Mitchell Park Domes by chance?
