View submission: What's the weirdest compliment you've ever received?
Standing in line at a baseball card shop, getting ready to buy some cards. The gentleman standing in front of me turned and gave me a quick look. Than *double take* snaps back and says, " You look like you just stepped out of a comicbook"
That was nearly 30 years ago. It still makes me smile when I think of it.
So, my wardrobe at the time.
Bottom to top.
Bowling shoes I had stolen from a Bowling alley, with a 9 on the heel.
Camouflage pants. (I stole these too. From my father)
A multicolored, base red, shirt with a grey flannel button up over shirt.(got both of them from a buddy in rehab)
A five hundred dollar pair of REVO sunglasses that looked like goggles. (Yes I wore them inside. No they weren't stolen)
A black baseball cap with a skull and a potleaf on the skull.
Long hair down to the middle of my back. Both ears with multiple piercings. Long dangling hoops and studs...
Standing 6' 4" weighing around 170 pounds at the time.
He smiled and was genuine in his complaint. The clerk behind the counter nodded and when he spoke he told me, "He is right. You definitely look like you stepped out of fiction."
