CARNIVAL OF THE PAJAMAS #6
Dressing up in costumes,
Playing silly games
Hiding out in tree-tops
Shouting out rude names
-
Peter Gabriel
That sums up blogging pretty well, I'd say.
Of course, I don't have much in the way of tree-tops or other arboreal splendor around here, but COSTUMES...
That I can do:
Tiffany of Blown Fuse has trouble choosing between schoolmarmish and sweatergirlish. I don't care which one, as long as I get to stay after class.
VW Bug of One Happy Dog Speaks can't stop bragging about the gorgeous Florida weather. Warmth & sunshine & low-80's temps that let her get away with wearing this form-fitting little number while Northern folk like me are setting fire to our keyboards just trying to stay warm.
Matty O'Blackfive must do his tanning at the same place as John Kerry, or else I'm otherwise lost at explaining his freakish skin tone. And judging by the teeth, I'd say he's got a little hillbilly in the family tree.
Sally of Whimsy Capricious was too busy fending off attacks from her dapper-dwarf neighbors to actually post the picture herself, but she DID show me where she bought her outfit. Suddenly I'm thinking that letting women in the Navy wasn't such a bad move after all.
Teresa of Technicalities is sporting firey red silkies this week. I'm obsessed with undoing that top button.
Anathematized1 of Rivers of Blood is wearing... well... I'm not really sure. It kinda looks like she just finished some sort of kinky 4-way with the Blue Man Group, but I could be wrong.
Contagion of... um... nowhere yet... insists that despite the rigid pole and comely wenches, there is NO symbolism in this picture:
(click to enlarge)
Pam of Pamibe shows off her son-in-law, who - I suspect - has been to one too many Alice Cooper shows.
Boudicca of Boudicca's Voice has both her and her husband taking the red pill. Who can argue with black leather? Although I can't for the life of me understand the need to wear sunglasses indoors.
Eric of Straight White Guy proves all three quite handily by showing off his brief stint as a millionaire playboy.
Didja ever notice that women always seem to go to the bathroom in groups? That's just weird. Why don't they do FUN things in groups, like... well, YOU know... *AHEM*... Anyway, Tammi of Road Warrior Survival shows us that blogging can be a fun group activity, too. If you dress for it.
Although she's a little shy about posting her own picture, RWS of Right Wing Sparkle hesitates not a moment to reveal the looks of myself, Matty O'Blackfive, Greyhawk of Mudville, Andrew Sullivan, and Jeff of Protein Wisdom. (If you have trouble seeing the pictures, try hitting "refresh". Or just click on the vertical lines)
Father O'Johnny of Closet Extremist gets ready to hear your confessions.
I (Harvey of Bad Example) am going to the sunny shores of Jamaica next week, so I thought I'd try on the swimsuit I bought the last time I was down there:
(click to enlarge)
Whether it still fits, I leave for the reader to decide.
Johnny-Oh's entry made me realize that the ladies need to help us indulge our Catholic school girl fetishes next time:
Since I'm going on vacation, the next Carnival of the Pajamas will be posted on November 20th, but the same rules apply:
Post a picture of yourself (or a professional model whose picture you copied off some web page - like I'd know the difference anyway) in your favorite blogging attire. Leave a permalink in the comments to this post, send a trackback, or e-mail the link directly to me at harvolson-at-charter.net.
If you have trouble hosting images, you can send me the picture, and I'll post it for you, along with your description.
If you don't have a blog, but you're feeling particularly creative, same as above.
Entries due by 12pm CDT, Saturday, November 20th, and I'll post the round-up Saturday afternoonish.
And if I missed your entry, give a holler in the comments or to harvolson-at-charter.net

Woo-hoo! Who ordered the stripper? ;-)

Not me. But I see the intoxicating liquors and chocolates are out on the table. I'll have a dry red wine and some chocolate.
Hmmm. A glass of Merlot and a chocolate pe-nis. Interesting.

I think it's the perfect time to pull out my swing. I just got it.
Ain't it cool?!? I've wanted one ever since I've been to New Orleans.
Where should I hang this thing for Maximum Swing Potential?

Whoa. That is so cool. And did you see the stripper? I think you ought to hang it such that it gets REALLY close to him.

Damn, Tammi, I didn't know you could buy a swing like that at Drugstore.com!
You might want to try one of
these out - a little safer.

All of that plus eating some chocolate and drinking some wine, especially since I'll have to be served... hmmm. I'll have to think this over.
Anyone want anything while I'm over at the intoxicating liquids table thinking about this some more?

Ok, a game of Suck and Blow and some Readi Whip. This ought to make it definitely more interesting.

CARNIVAL OF THE PAJAMAS #5
Clean shirt, new shoes
and I don't know where I am goin' to.
Silk suit, neck tie (neck tie),
I don't need a reason why.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.
-
ZZ Top
Well, the girls ain't gonna be runnin' very fast to THIS blog, because the Carnival of the Pajamas is all about the sloppy, comfy (and occasionally sexy) articles of clothing that drape one's body while blogging. The Legacy Media thinks it's all about the pajamas. Some folks have other ideas:
Not Tiffany of Blown Fuse, though. She's wearing ACTUAL pajamas. At least on the bottom. You can find out for yourself what's going on topside. As for the extra sleeve?... well, I have heard that blogging causes spontaneous limb growth in laboratory animals.
Back when he used to be a woman, the Bartender of Madfish Willie's Cyber Saloon used to make his OWN blogging attire from ordinary household objects. Is it just me, or is Lincoln actually smiling in that picture?
RWS of Rightwingsparkle seems to be having some hosting issues with her picture, so I left a link to it buried in her comments. She might have it updated at some point. Speaking of points, mine is that, while I don't have her ability to pack a pair of jeans, I do have the same T-shirt. Except the bottom line of mine says "Reddi Wip".
VW Bug of One Happy Dog Speaks has the shot we've all been waiting for. Legs! Legs! Legs!... um... I mean... she models this comfy-looking shorts & top combo. I must admit that I was very surprised to discover that she's a Vorlon.
As for me (Harvey of Bad Example), well, I like blogging in my shorts & T-shirt, but sometimes it just gets a little warm in the ol' computer room, so Mr. Shirt needs to come off:
(click to enlarge)
By the way, that thing on my left arm is NOT some sort of freaky tattoo that I picked up while stone drunk in a Bangkok whorehouse. That's a left-over from Beloved Wife's enthusiastic follow-through on the racquetball court.
Either that, or it was punishment for not getting the dishes done in a timely manner. I kinda forget which.
Anyway, next time, I'd like the ladies to admit that they actually wear stuff like this when they blog:

Same rules for next week's round-up:
Post a picture of yourself (or a professional model whose picture you copied off some web page - like I'd know the difference anyway) in your favorite blogging attire. Leave a permalink in the comments to this post, send a trackback, or e-mail the link directly to me at harvolson-at-charter.net.

Actually, I was going to ask you if you took Karate. *grin*(ref the bruise) I've got some nasty bruising on my arms... but it is not typically on a bicep. It's usually on my wrists. Yeah, doesn't look good.
Nice bod, Harvey. I take it Beloved Wife took the picture so she knows that all the women out here are drooling over you? *wink*

CARNIVAL OF THE PAJAMAS #4
Time once again for a look at the fashions making a splash around the blogosphere. I hear Donald Trump is firing people for screwing up projects like this, so I better do a good job.
Jacqui of Enviropundit shows off her belly-dancing street cred with this number. Stick around after the Carnival, she'll be telling fortunes in that little tent over there.
Anathematized1 of Cleanse the World; Rivers of Blood had this one in last week. It got it in late, so I'm making it up to her by including it again. Besides, I have a thing for kitties with riding crops.
Teresa of Technicalities would probably claim that this little black number is NOT a metaphor for light B & D. Teresa would be wrong. Meanwhile, someone hand me a pair of scissors.
Jeff of Au Fait is kickin' it old school with a bit of retro cowboy cool. I must admit, he looks good in stubble, in a "Fistful of Dollars" kinda way. Note to Michael Moore - when you're over 300 pounds, stubble just makes you look like a hobo.
And we all know what happens to hobos in the blogosphere, right?
Boudicca of Boudicca's Voice does a little cross-dressing... not that there's anything WRONG with that... Nope. Nothing wrong at all.
Goldie of Drama Queen says that she'd wear this little bit of nearly nothin' with glee. May I suggest wearing it with some Reddi-Wip instead?
Tammi of Road Warrior Survival is actually wearing pajamas to the Carnival of the Pajamas. Girl, that's just weird!
Finally, I (Harvey of Bad Example) have a picture of what I sit on while I'm blogging (hope this doesn't look TOO washed-out. I had to boost the gamma so you could see the legs):
(click to enlarge)
Maybe next week I'll show you the chair. Anyway, Bug, does THAT make you happy?
And I'm gonna have to get those shorts in a larger size. That waistband was miserably tight.
Anyway, speaking of next week, my general request for the ladies is something along these lines:

CARNIVAL OF THE PAJAMAS #3 (UPDATED 10-10-04 11PM)
How many times have you stared into your overflowing closet, thinking to yourself, "I don't have a thing to wear"?
This is tragic enough when it happens right before the office Christmas party where you know your promotion rides on how well you can suck up to your boss while he's stone drunk & open to suggestion, but it could be worse.
You could have this problem right before your precious blogging time.
So as a public service from COTPTM Industries, we offer the following suggestions for the perfect blogging outfit:
UPDATE 10-10-04 11PM: Anathemetized of Cleanse the World; Rivers of Blood has her favorite blogging outfit. Naughty little kitty... actually *I'm* the naughty one - please correct my misbehavior with your precious riding crop...
VW Bug of One Happy Dog Speaks submits this little green number that just goes to show that it's never too early to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
Johnny-Oh of Closet Extremist shows off that boot he's always promising to put up my ass if I don't treat him with a little more respect. All I've got to say is... hey, girls, that thing about a man's shoe size is a myth.... Meanwhile he should have the ladies fainting with these 5 money shots.
Tammi of Road Warrior Survival has the perfect outfit for blogging on the beach. Is anybody else rooting for a stronger wind from the left side of that picture?
Teresa of Technicalities has a comfy-looking little night shirt, and... OH MY GOD! She's not wearing any pants! I just hope her office chair doesn't have a vinyl seat. Especially when she sees some of the guy pictures coming up.
Lurking blog-reader Contagion of... well, nowhere, yet, but maybe I can talk him into getting himself a soapbox, which would be cool, because then me & life-partner Graumagus would have a THIRD blogchild... breaks his silence by grabbing the cutting edge of blog-fashion with this versatile combo that's good for playing both football AND bagpipes. Possibly both at the same time...
I think Susie better sit down before she looks at this one.

Michele of Letters From New York City proves that it's possible to simulanteously reveal nothing AND leave nothing to the imagination. She can eat with my chopsticks anytime.
That 1 Guy of Drunken Wisdom, while too shy to actually display the pictures, does provide links
to shots of his variously garbed manliness. I think the chicks will agree that excessive alcohol consumption is a shorts-worshipping girl-blogger's best friend.
CrankyBeach of Coffee With CrankyBeach wears nothing but a red tank top and a pretty smile when she blogs. Oh, and glasses. And possibly panties, but it's hard to tell from the picture if she's wearing any.
Cowboy Blob of Cowboy Blob goes old school with his one-piece Mad Jack 1850's underalls. And you GOTTA love that hat. Yet another step is taken toward bringing male headgear back into style.
I (Harvey of Bad Example) admit to a lie. I don't really wear these boots to blog. Those are my rubber-bottomed fleece-lined boots that I wear to keep my feet warm & dry in the winter while my snowblower & I engage in a tag-team cage-match-to-the-death with the fearsome combo of my driveway and Old Man Winter. However, Machelle DID ask to see a boots & shorts combo, and I DO actually wear those shorts a LOT when I blog.

That'll do it for this week. I will say that I think the ladies owe us guys a little payback for this week's studly hair-fest. I recommend something along the lines of this:

or maybe this:
For next week, the same rules apply:
Post a picture of yourself (or a professional model whose picture you copied off some web page - like I'd know the difference anyway) in your favorite blogging attire. Leave a permalink in the comments to this post, send a trackback, or e-mail the link directly to me at harvolson-at-charter.net.
If you have trouble hosting images, you can send me the picture, and I'll post it for you, along with your description.
If you don't have a blog, but you're feeling particularly creative, same as above.
Entries due by 12pm CDT, Saturday, October 16th, and I'll post the round-up Saturday afternoonish.
And if I missed your entry, give a holler in the comments or to harvolson-at-charter.net

I can't believe you actually posted that picture. I see your readership dropped off. bahahaha. And yes I've worn that exact outfit to work, so that is not an unusual outfit for me.
As for me starting a blog, uhhhh. no. I'm gonna be an internet hobo. Thanks tho.

Contagion cracks me up. What a great outfit!
As for you... I can't believe you posted another chest shot. OMG.

I can't believe you men. Where in the hell where all of you when I was single?
Damn Harvey you have set my heart a fluttering with that photo.

I'll have you know, that tank top is hot pink, not red. As for the rest... I'll never tell.

yes I agree with susie. *drool*
next week I'll have to remember to work out some jim-jams for you Harv - I've been neglecting you severely!

Hmmm - looks like the entire male side of the family are very good lookin' guys... whew yes indeed they are!
Oh yeah, Contagion - what do you wear under your kilt??? Hmmm???? *grin*
Posted by: Teresa at October 10, 2004 10:35 AM (nAfYo)

Contagion: You were wearing the wee kilt and you didn't flash your "Packer panties"???
That's a first. Bahaha
Posted by: Graumagus at October 10, 2004 11:54 AM (sfDS/)

Teresa: There is nothing worn under my kilt, I assure it is all in fine working condition.
Grau, That's my father you're thinking of. Although yes, I'm wearing my modern kilt.

Harvey - I was thinking about this after my class this morning.....with the way the flash is in the last couple pictures you posted, it reminds me of that neighbor on Tim Allen's show - you know the one where most of his face if covered all the time?!!
I laughed my ass off....you should have seen where that went in this creative imagination of mine!!! ;-)
Posted by: Tammi at October 10, 2004 01:55 PM (UOdfZ)

I'm sorry, Harvey, but I keep clicking on this pix to enlarge, and I'm just not seeing the boots, love. *grin*

I'm thinking that he might be a little intimidated. What if his boots don't "measure up" to mine? I'd hate to give my blog-pappy a case of "Insole envy." :^)

At Boudicca's request, I humbly submit the link to my pic. (I was just going to complain and pout a lot if I wasn't included in next week's CotP since I wasn't sure if Harv got my response to his email.)

"I'm gonna be an internet hobo"
Uh, Contagion.... you DO know what happens to hobos on the internet, right???
Seriously, dude, if you can post a comment, you can blog. It's THAT simple. Talk to me. Whatcha all shy about?
Anathematized - sorry I didn't get to that right away. I was away from my computer. I'll include it in next week's too, just in case someone missed it this week. ME-OW!
Jacqui - I'll have you in next week, like you asked.
CB - Hot pink? Hmmm... have to adjust my monitor :-)
Bou - I'll see if I can get a better boot shot for you next time :-)
By the way, does anyone else have any pose requests?
Posted by: Harvey at October 10, 2004 10:58 PM (ubhj8)

Rear shot... I want a rear shot!!! oops, make that a back shot... from the neck to the thighs. :-) Though if I see one more goodlooking male family member, I may head up to see my Husband at lunch today. Contagion, Harv, T1G, JohnnyO, ahhhhhhhhh.... You definitely have my attention. Thank you for making my day.

Harv, I don't mean TO pee on your parade....O.K yeah i do, if you become an internet hobo would evil Glenn try to kill you and how would he do it??
O.K. i'll just put this one back there with my "does time have weight" theroy.

Was that boot shot or 'bootie' shot? *wink*
Seriously, no requests from me. I don't want to have to pay back... paybacks can suck and my folks read my blog.

Bou - maybe you should get your folks' pajama pictures posted. Technically, your DAD's a blogger :-)

Harvey, uhh no.. no blog for me... even though technically I have one, but that's only a joke so I can post on other peoples blogs on blogger.
I like being an internet Hobo.. no place to call home, just drifting from blog to blog, site to site... It's nice and relaxing.
Posted by: contagion at October 13, 2004 08:02 AM (Q5WxB)
24
OO! What's the "technical" URL of this thing?
Sure, YOU'RE relaxed. But what about ME? What about MY needs? What if I want to track you down and pummel you about the head & shoulders with crude, manhood-impugning insults just for the pleasure of having you crack right back at me twice as hard and three times as good?
Curse you for harshing my mellow, vile hobo!

dude, you have some serious issues you need to work out. I'm a selfish man, it's all about my needs!...
Harshing your mellow.. WTF is that?
Posted by: contagion at October 14, 2004 07:54 AM (Q5WxB)

Contagion - um... I'm not sure where it originated... It's supposed to be what hippies say when you do something that messes with their groovy good times.
I picked it up from Mike of Cold Fury, whose tagline is "Harshing Your Mellow Since 9/01"

Bou - come on, it's not like your parents have never seen your naked breasts.
Sure, it's probably been 30 years, but still, that's not NEVER :-)

CARNIVAL OF THE PAJAMAS #2
Time to stroll around the blogosphere, peeping through virtual windows & keyholes to see what bloggers are wearing. Is it REALLY pajamas like the cranky, guilt-ridden, increasingly-unwatched, legacy-media types believe?
Mostly no, as we shall see:
Matty O'Blackfive looks dapper and thin in his pajamas & smoking jacket. Yes, quite a thin man indeed.
SarahK of Mountaineer Musings is a woman of many moods. What will her attitude be today? One can only wonder, as one gazes upon her beauty.
Teresa of Technicalities is usually a cheerful lady, but today, she's feeling a little blue. Probably because, as far as I can tell, she doesn't have a THING to wear... under her dress.
Michele of Letters From New York City has an outfit that's probably more adorable than practical. I mean, I can't imagine that it's possible to stay inside that top if you're typing more than 20 words per minute.
Tammi of Road Warrior Survival... well, if she's gonna wear something like THAT, it's a damn good thing she lives in Florida where it's nice & warm.
There's a lot of conflicting evidence about what Tiffany of Blown Fuse wears. It's either sandals, Old Navy shorts, or some sweet ass-huggin' jeans. Possibly all at once.
Pam of Pamibe must be one of those nekkid bloggers, since she proudly posts this "full-moon" shot.
As for me, well... Boudicca wanted to see boxers & bare chests, and Susie wanted to see a nightshirt. So I compromised and here we have me in a light flannel bathrobe and my Dr. Suess "Grinch" boxers. That should please everyone.
(click to enlarge)
And I apologize for the glare. Beloved Wife ain't home, and the mirror was the only way to get a shot.
That'll do it for this time around. We'll give it another week & see if the pajama meme survives the abuse.
For next week, the same rules apply:
Post a picture of yourself (or a professional model whose picture you copied off some web page - like I'd know the difference anyway) in your favorite blogging attire. Leave a permalink in the comments to this post, send a trackback, or e-mail the link directly to me at harvolson@charter.net.
If you have trouble hosting images, you can send me the picture, and I'll post it for you, along with your description.
If you don't have a blog, but you're feeling particularly creative, same as above.
Entries due by 12pm CDT, Satuday, October 9th, and I'll post the round-up Saturday afternoonish.
Final thought... Guys... I could really use more male participation. If we want the ladies to keep tossing out the cheesecake, we have to reciprocate.
Oh, and if I missed your entry, please give a holler in the comments or e-mail to harvolson-at-charter.net

I'd post a picture but A) I don't blog, 2) the fish belly white of my "keg" would scare away your readership D) I don't think anybody really wants to know what I wear, or don't wear when I'm on the net.

" If we want the ladies to keep

I usually post bare-chested. If I post a picture of that, the women will be tossing their cookies instead.

Hmmmm, after my posting about my bumpies on my blog, I'm wondering if I should do a bare-chested shot....*musing*
Nah...I'll just stare at Harvey and swoon - among other things.

Ok, I got a picture out there for you. She's a great looking girl (ahhh woman - god I feel old sometimes). Enjoy!
