That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 15, 2020

Tyrolean are very secure in their masculinity.

Seinfeld’s puffy shirt meets Monty Python’s lumberjack meets Chiquita Banana.

Cumberbatch’s early career: stripper at We’ve Got All Night.

Tobias took fashion advice from too many people. It didn’t catch on.

There’s no way I’m pulling over for this guy.

“A little over the top? Okay, I’ll ditch the black tie, but the hat stays!”

Poor Peter, his mom kept dressing him even though he was already over 30 years old.

“No, I haven’t had much luck in the romance department lately. You must be psychic. How could you tell?”

Tradition costume coming off in three…two…one…

My name is Carmen, and I’m here to read you your Miranda Rights.

That would do it.

away from his public persona of big man on campus biff secretly loved to play dress up…

Justin Trudeau’s official portrait as Prime Minister of Canada. He was not going to be outdone by Michelle and Barack Obama from that little country south of the border.

Too soon, Steve…

Just in time.

Ach du lieber! That outfit is Tyrol-ible!

Ohhh, I’m a lumberjack and I’m okay…

San Francisco?

Franz! stop stealing your mother’s hat!

Are you a boy, or are you a girl? With your long long hair, you could be a girl…….

A young Napoleon tries out for ‘Sound of Music’?

“In your Easter bonnet….”

His gender is somewhat in question/ and he suffers from indigestion/ but his fruity chapeau/ true courage doth show/ for he’s open to any suggestion…

Hans posing for his portrait for the elite Verwirrtheit corps, which the Germans dropped behind enemy lines in WWII. Although quite effective, they were outlawed by the Geneva Convention because of their general creepiness.

Helga sure fooled a lot of them, many fraulein had lost their innocents.

Hello Mr. Bucket.

It’s pronounced Bouquet.

Defregger, eh? I’ve got 10 disk drives for you to sort out!

Hans’ audition for The Sound of Music seemed to go very well. The Director told him he had a very specific role that was right up his alley.

In 1939 no one wondered why the Austrian army fell so easily to the forces of Germany.

they can slap the cuffs on while the perps are doubled over with laughter

I was in Iceland in 1976 and they dressed the cops up like toy soldiers, with double-breasted uniforms and brass buttons. Also, driving a taxi was a very respected job and the drivers wore suits and ties.

Hans was devastated when he heard Oktoberfest had been cancelled. He had worked so hard on his outfit.

He still has a 10mm pistol with 15 rounds and 2 spare magazines.

“Super Fly”..the original design.

“Now young man, How many drinks did you consume? Please don’t lie.”

male drag queen trying on new outfit for gay pride parade, sure to be a big hit.

Why … yes … the cummerbund needs to be this high, or it will stick out.

I’m wondering if the feather was deliberately added to the hat, or if a bird became hysterical with laughter and fell out of the sky, landing on the hat.

When Tony Miranda stole his sister Carmen’s hat, he added a feather to show he was a guy.
