I just got an email an hour ago with the following link. That’s all, nothing else. Just the link.

I say in quick response:

“MY GOODNESS THAT IS OBNOXIOUS.”

Then I pester him about the Amazon box and if I can open it to check if we got hoodwinked on that Banduka or whatever it’s called. “You didn’t buy anything but gifts for Shane right?”

I get the following back:

“I bought him a DVD with all the Old 40’s superman cartoons on one DVD
should be coming today cost 4.99”

So I can open the box?

“Yes, and I think that’s the most bad a** E.P. T-Shirt ever by the way”

“Is that a Christmas Hint?”

(Excuse the language and at least the symbol-replacements are his – but he’s Navy. I think foul language is a job requirement at times – but he’s a good boy at home. Most of the time. 😛 )

**"Its an “I’m F#@!ing begging you for Christmas”!!!

P.S.
Its also a “please order it now so it will be here for Christmas” **
:eek: :bigyikes: :whistle:

Now what am I going to do?

Ohp this just in:

“Size Large”

I know it’s all a matter of taste but my taste specifically says: "this shirt can only be worn in one place: that is an “all you can eat buffet in Las Vegas – downtown. Not even the strip – Downtown – kind of shirt.”

Now I love Elvis, I do, we have a large painting of him in our family room (it’s tasteful) and I like campy Elvis stuff too, the kids recently broke the Elvis Statue’s head off. We’ve been to Graceland, we’ve been to Tupelo. We own just about every piece of music he ever recorded. We LOVE Elvis.

But this shirt?

Over-the-TOP.

How do I get out of going out of the house with him in that shirt? 😊 Ahhh but it would make him so happy wouldn’t it? I feel like I am stuck between a rock and an obnoxious Elvis shirt here.

I suspect I better go get my credit card.

Yeah, of course I’ll take a pic. Bet he puts it on Christmas Day. He’s not wearing it to church though – I’m drawing the line.
:rolleyes:
 
get him a gift card for Golden Corral so you know you will have something to wear that is appropriate

lets wait and hear Bama’s advice
 
KC… that shirt is horrible!! LOL… I noticed you have made the trek to Tupelo. I lived there for 8 years or so and my mom, stepdad and sister are still there. (Along with several high school and college friends 🙂 ) Soooo I have to ask…Did you guys go to the McDonald’s while you were there and check it out? 😛
It is amazing how many places incorporate Elvis into thier decor!!

Can’t wait to see the Christmas morning pics of an “Elvis Christmas!” 😛
 
**That’s hideous! LOL… reminds me of something Paris Hilton would put on one of her pocket-dogs, lol. Hey, tell your hubby THAT! Maybe he’ll change his mind and your dilemma will be over;)😃

And if not, always keep your perspective (a la’ Bama)… your hubby could have bought YOU the shirt and expected you to wear it to the next big outing.😛

Hey, I think I just named Bama’s book, if he ever decides to write it!

A LA’ BAMA! **:clapping:
 
That shirt is too funny! LOL. I’m very shy so someone would have to owe me big time to be seen with him in that shirt.:rotfl:
 
So I just sent this (my last ditch effort to get out of buying this shirt):

"sigh really?

You did see it has “gold glitter accents” right?

Are you sure?"

He sends this right back:

All the better!🤓

It’s hopeless. My husband wants gold glitter accents. 😊

I am thinking of inserting a prayer request here, but we all have bigger things to pray about. 🤷 We do. How bout you all just laugh at me instead? Or him? Or both of us? Yeah, this isn’t prayer-worthy but it sure is hardy-har-har-worthy.

sigh

gold glitter accents!! What is he THINKING?? Did he leave his taste on his pillow when he got up this morning?

The only way he would get me in that shirt would be to, well you know, make arrangements with an undertaker. I am not saying that lightly – I mean it.
 
I can’t believe it! They make a pretty shirt like that and the largest size is only 2X? That wouldn’t even fit the King himself!
 
OK I lied. I am still trying to talk him out of the shirt, he’ taking it really personally. Him:

"There’s nothing wrong with my shirt darn it! "

So I write back:

"Three words:

Gold Glitter Accents

I suspect you are right though – I mean I was just thinking how it
could possibly be worse, and the idea that it could have LIT UP entered my mind. Lack of LED lights is a good thing me thinks. "

To which he responds:

"Im stealing that idea, patenting it and selling it to EP estates. I’ll
have the first one off the press’s! Light up Elvis shirts…S&*^ hot idea."


For the love of humanity is right.

I think I better shut up now, this is only getting worse. Here I go giving him ideas.
 
He’s right! There is nothing wrong with the shirt he wants! Go on - buy it for him. He’ll love you for it! :clapping:

I tried to find a WORSE clothing item so that I could say “At least it is not as bad as THIS” and couldn’t, so yes sir, that is one awful shirt.

Just find a gadget to distract him with, something like … this 🤷
 
Are you sure he is serious about this? Yikes :eek: .

Okay, so all you will be out is the $22.00 + s&h. Look for a really cool sweater to wear over it - come on, it is a t-shirt and I know even SoCal gets cold enough that a t-shirt could be too cold, just let him know you didn’t want him to be too cold when wearing the shirt so you got him a sweater to wear with it 😊.

It’s great – but it’s out of stock! You may as well have suggested Bakugan!!! :rotfl:

Sadly Brenda, he is serious. Then he’ll get it – try it on, see how SILLY it looks and never wear it again. So I’ll be spending $22+s&H to add to my clutter problem. :rotfl:

But then again, maybe my kids could charge their friends admission into the house to see the world’s most obnoxious t-shirt? 🤷 👍
 
Dang.

Just buy it, wrap it up, and see what happens. Tell him you
ll get it, but he can’t tell ANYONE who gave it to him. Let the folks think HE bought it. I dunno what you’re gonna do if he wants you to walk around with him while he’s wearing it. OMG.

Your in a little different situation then Debbie was with the salad dress, cause I thought I did good. If she had been with me when I picked out she coulda told me, “look Guy, I’m not gonna walk around looking like I just came outta deer stand, this dress is green camoflauge.”

Just so you know, I passed through Tupelo often on my way west to California. I stopped and took this pic of the Elvis home place, but I didn’t take the tour LOL
 
OK Bama, I see you are viewing family life – and you have nothing to SAY? :eek:

Did DH actually find a t-shirt that might render you speechless?

If I did I am writing this on my calender.

(Man CAF should have had a “who can render Bama speechless” contest!!!)
