Wing + Ill-Advised Pullover = Crush Of Over A Decade, Shit-Stomped

Submitted by on September 21, 2010 – 9:34 PM14 Comments

Wing: I am still LOL at that photo. It’s the lead image for my new game, “High Or Head-Injured?”

Sarah: I like to call it…The Crush-Killer. And the hair, WTF. ‘Sup, Methy?

Wing: I mean, dude. Don’t make that face EVER, never mind when there’s a camera pointed at you.

Sarah: And the half-zip sweater. It just subtracts any hint of genitalia. Also, my grandfather called. He would like his GIANT EARLOBES back.

Wing: Yeah, I don’t care if you are at Sundance. If you don’t have a real cardigan, at least cover it up with a scarf.

Sarah: And pull it up over your face. Buntsy is dying inside. …I’m wearing my Wonder Killer shirt today, actually. How fitting.

Wing: Aw.

Sarah: I’m also totally reproducing this convo on TN. “The Crushed Film Festival Presents: …No.”

Wing: Caption: “Hurrr durrrr!”

Sarah: Okay, I’m going to get a haircut because I’m starting to look like Dukes-era John Schneider, but we will continue this later. Can’t stop giggling.

Wing: Still got it!

Sarah: Unlike Ron Eldard!

    So not being sure if that was the dude in the Helen Keller CSI show from a few years ago (…not at ALL what it was called or its premise), I threw his name into the Goog and the Very First Picture was this:

    It’s just his face! Not a passing moment of hurrr-durrriness! Oh, the uglimanity.

  • Rachel says:

    Oh, Ron. No. I sat through Drop Dead Fred three times IN THE THEATER for you and this is how you repay me? Not by getting better-looking as you age, OH NO. By… looking sweaty and not quite all there?

    Nice.

  • Maria says:

    Sars, I’m so sorry for your loss. May your memories of good times past provide you with peace in this difficult time.

  • SarahW says:

    Oh how horrendous! Nooo, Ron Eldard, Noooo!

    I still want TN to do Mystery, Alaska in the Crushed Film Festival though, at least then he was still hot.

    *tears*

  • Chris says:

    SarahW beat me to the Mystery, Alaska reference, but yeah, what once was hot. . .

    That’s okay, Ian Somerhalder lives among us, and that is good enough for me.

  • ferretrick says:

    WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE THE LOVE CHILD OF DEREK JACOBI AND A HOBBIT?

  • LunaS says:

    That’s Ron Eldard!? I never had a huge thing for him, but this is like finding out that cute, cool older guy you admired in high school went on to become a drunken douche.

    A part of me is in denial and wants to believe that picture is of some random dude who’s partied a little too hard.

    I have never been so happy to not know who someone is. This is the definition of Dorktastic With A Side Of High.

  • Stella says:

    Laura, do you mean Sue Thomas, F.B. Eye? Haha – I get reruns of it on CBC

  • Carolyn in CT says:

    Aw. Just had a GBC flashback. Miss that.

  • Smyth says:

    Goddamn! This was at Sundance? I thought for sure it was a mug shot.

  • Jaybird says:

    @ferretrick: I humbly thank you for the best, hardest laugh I’ve had all day. I didn’t know the photo was Eldard until the very end of the article. My first thought was “Son of Gilligan…?”

  • Sandman says:

    Yes; well done, ferretrick. No Child Left Behind, except for Cadfael Took, pictured above.

  • Jaybird says:

    And the distinguished, mysteriously-gritty gentleman also wins a prize.
