Friday Funny 37: Two Outfits

I have 2 great ensembles to show you all. Yes, I said “ensembles.” Sue me.

Outfit #1: Blogger buddy Brian sent me an e-mail about 2 weeks ago. The gist of it was that he had some short shorts that he thought were TOO short. He wore them once, and thought he’d never wear them again:



He said that it was either send them to me, or donate them. I told him I’d GLADLY take them. They arrived in the mail a few days ago along with a note that said “Wear them in good health.”



They’re really not that short. I think my grey and blue running shorts I wore for my 5 miler on Wednesday are shorter. THANKS BRIAN!!

Outfit #2: I received another e-mail at about the same time from someone who does PR for SUGOi. (How do you pronounce that company? Sue-Gwee? Soo-Goi? I dunno...) Get this: they wanted to send me a new SUGOi Volocity Tri Suit to try out! SWEET!!

So guess what came in the mail recently?!?





It was harder than I thought to get in to! I do NOT have hips, and I had to “work it” over my hips! It fits well!

I thought I’d get a feel for it around the house. Here I am working on my porch in my new tri suit:



Here I am taking a poo in the suit. (Well, not IN the suit, you sicko):



Then I went outside to hang out with Kermit and Ella. Yes, out cats are in our backyard on leashes. They LOVE it. Really. Don’t judge me.



Then we all thought we heard a squirrel in the distance:



Turns out it was just a rustling leaf. No squirrel.

Thanks SUGOi!! I think I’ll give the Tri Suit a dry-run at the Apple Duathlon tomorrow! Then I hope to be able to wear it at the Liberty Olympic Tri in 3 weeks. In the meantime, I need to harden my ass for the small chamois in that suit!

  1. awesome 'ensembles'! the red shorts do look short, but who loves short shorts? steve loves short shorts! the tri suit looks fancy from the back, are those pockets or just a TRI-bal design?

  2. Maria, Pharmie and I ALWAYS joke about that!:

    Who wears short shorts? I WEAR SHORT SHORTS!!

    Ha!

    And those are 2 pockets for gels in the back of the suit. It's all pretty sweet!

  3. You are so the tri-fashion plate.

  4. I barely classify those as short shorts. Brian needs to suck it up.

    I wear shorts half that length to the grocery store just because, and I don't even think twice.

  7. HA - those pictures with your cats (and you on the can) are pretty much the exact reason why your blog is one of my favorites..... if not my absolute favorite! TGIF

  10. I LOVE the last picture of you and the cats looking for the squirrel! I couldn't stop laughing!

    Hilarious that you wore your tri suit for just hanging out around the house.

    This may be my favorite Friday Funny so far!

  11. I don't know what is better, you in the tri suit doing home repairs or you in a tri suit scoping out animals in the wild. Wow Steve. Just wow. I love it.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Didn't anyone else yearn for a pic of Steve actually walking the leashed cats while wearing the tri-suit?
    I did......

  13. I... don't even know... what to comment on... Too... many... CHOICES!

  14. that's a sweet tri suit. nice grab! i've got to get one of those one day.

  15. Cool score on the Sugoi suit! With all those lines in the back, it looks like maybe you can somehow get your butt out to use the toilet w/o taking off the whole thing. That's the main reason why I don't like those one-pieces. Can you???

  16. My God you're funny. Those pictures of you in the getup around the house are hilar. Good luck this weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  17. The possible squirrel picture is great.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Good to know the Sugoi works in sitdown mode.

    That will come in handy at the Porta Potty camp at your next Tri.

  19. Glad to know that it covers your arse while working on a ladder. Should be perrrfect for a race. Small chamois means be careful peeing on your bike - not lots of absorption there.

  20. Great new outfits. You are the new chic runner. and cats on a leash. WOW.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Oh My God.

    Toilet picture.

    Can't. Stop. Laughing.

    :)

  22. I think that tri suit is pretty cool! If you have an in with them, tell them that us long waisted gals need longer tops. I don't need people to see my belly (and they don't want to see it)! Good luck at the Du tomorrow!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Both outfits are cute! Sorry I'm sure you wouldn't call them "cute," but I think they are!

    ReplyDelete
  24. sue go ee
    say it fast
    it's Japanese for "great", kinda slangy

    Man, I wish my neighbors would leash their cats. it's not like my dog is allowed to wander around the 'hood messing up everyone else's front yard. Why do cat owners feel so entitled??

    ReplyDelete
  25. I like your poo pic!!

    Too cute!!

    And the cat pic looking for the squirrels!!!

    Your hilarious have a great weekend!!!

    ReplyDelete
  26. so brian doesn't look much taller than you (if at all) so why do the shorts look so much shorter on him then on you?? and it looked like he had them hiked to his chest practically. nice of him to send along the top too though.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Kick butt tomorrow. Either way you'll be looking sharp in the fancy tri suit! Smokin'

    ReplyDelete
  28. OMG, this totally made my day awesome. So amazing, all the incredible things you can do in a tri-suit. It makes me want to do tri's just so I can get the suit, and watch for squirrels with my cats (fyi I have a harness for one of my cats, awesome). Incredible!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Haha, that's great I love the pics! I always wondered how to pronounce Sugoi as well and the tri suit looks super high tech. Good luck!

    ReplyDelete
  30. yep...i'll admit it. water came out my nose at the picture of you and the cats stalking the leaf.
    hilarious.

    ReplyDelete
  31. You look hott in that Tri-suit! I'd wear that suit to work, church, grocery shopping....whatever!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Man, I'm getting beaten up here. You need to post a side pic to show the side of the shorts. Can we trade? I'd take the sugui stuff. they make great stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  33. HAHAHAH! You are killing me, Steve! This was the funniest thing I've seen in quite some time! HA! Thanks so much for sharing with us :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Sugoi rocks! Even though I have NO idea how to pronounce their name, I buy their stuff whenever I can. I have a bike skirt that I LOVE - not that I'd recommend you run out and get one. :D Can't wait to hear about the duathlon.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I pronounce Sew-goy. But I'm not sure. love love love their stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  36. The "squirrel look out" picture is a classic!

    ReplyDelete
  37. OMG! You are freaking hilarious..that tri suit has so many possibilities..LOL

    ReplyDelete
  38. It is a toss up between the ladder pic and the squirrel look out pic that had me laughing.

    Sugoi was going to send me some gear as well and it has not come yet. I don't want to pester them about it, but I think it is not coming. They promised it a few months back. Oh well, I will just assume that they sent it to you and you are getting great use out of it.
