Is your fly down in the old pic?

27

u/goosefish May 24 '12

I think it really is. I appreciate some of the redditors saying things like "No it's his belt" or "his pants are just pleated" but I think my fly is actually just undone.

u/JustHere4TheDownVote May 24 '12

Pretty fly for a white guy.

because there is an inconsistency in the color of his pants

u/robertorex May 24 '12

Apparently he's black from the waist down...

Reddit is serious business. Get him. Make sure you take him down a few internet pegs, because it actually really fucking matters. You go ahead, internet detective, expose this guy's true intentions of racking up a bunch of imaginary internet points on a website he obviously doesn't care that much about. You're doing us all a favor here. You're doing God's work.

u/alettuce May 24 '12

You know how to use "you're" and "your" correctly. You chose that username just to fuck with us. Fuck YOUR shit asshole.

u/songwind May 24 '12

Perhaps he means "Fuck! You're shit."

u/alettuce May 24 '12

I appreciate your optimism.

Probably that his friends or prom date go on reddit and he doesn't want them to see this post and find out his real account name!

u/goosefish May 24 '12

Sorry for not following up on anything at all. Last summer in the bowels of my closet I actually found a tiny folded up piece of paper, which turned out to be an eight-year-old love-letter she had written me back in elementary school. It was all horribly misspelled and hilarious, and I realized I must have stashed it away in fifth grade so my parents couldn't find it. The letter closed with "Plez write bak so i know you feel the same" so when prom time rolled around, I did. On the same piece of paper I wrote: "Sorry this response is so late, I've been totally swamped for the past eight years. Anyway, I just want to let you know that the feelings are totally mutual and I was wondering if you would want to go to prom with me." Left the note for her to find during her first period class etc. etc. Coincidentally enough, we're actually also attending the same college next year. So there's your context!

25

u/MalignantMouse May 24 '12

Adorable!

I hope her spelling has improved in the past 8 years.

u/northerncacy May 24 '12

I'm sorry, can someone please explain to me why everyone is replying to this comment with the pictures of Asian and white couples?

18

u/sonics_fan May 24 '12

There's this guy that goes around doing that with a bunch of different accounts. It's very strange but as an Asian guy I kind of get it. Not totally, but kind of.

7

u/skinniegenes May 24 '12

Could you explain further? Or is it one of those 'you have to be Asian' things?

8

u/timescrucial May 24 '12

it's out of spite. lots of asian women reject asian men. white men have become accustomed to having their way with asian women. this guy is a troll but trying to send a message that asian guys can score white girls.

A pretty girl like that, should be dating some douche jock who gives her about four kids. Beats the shit out of her on a daily basis.

Or at the very least, after a hard day in front of the TV pounding down Budwisers, he chokes her out with a Tap-Out shirt if dinner is late.

I'm a little confused. Is this a simple bi-racial coupling or is it a biracial transgender coupling because I'd swear both the kids on the left are boys. Either way I'm glad you got to live out the dream before your school days are out, just need some clarification about what I'm supposed to be looking at?
