You roll’d up the sleeves on account of you are ashamed: They are French, and the French are, as every red-blooded American knows in his heart, gay.
Plus, the shot unsettlingly casts you as a benign but drug-addled father wheedling a perfunctory hug from his already-damaged toddler.

No, your fat makes you look fat!
@ 2:44 pm on March 20, 2009
The unsettling part being that the viewer is pressed into service as the toddler.

No. Not driving a Bugatti Veyron when given the opportunity makes you look fat.
@ 2:50 pm on March 20, 2009
Pop your collar, fool.
@ 2:53 pm on March 20, 2009
nobody believes it is that big!
@ 3:17 pm on March 20, 2009
No, but it does make you self absorbed, just for asking that question??? Would John Wayne ask that question? Hello, to the metrosexual age. God Help America!

Are you a manorexic?
@ 3:35 pm on March 20, 2009
I am a little bit concerned about the angle at which this photo was taken. No, make that very concerned.
@ 3:40 pm on March 20, 2009
When did you start tucking in your shirts?
@ 4:01 pm on March 20, 2009
@ Eric
Is that a cub scout belt?
@ 4:04 pm on March 20, 2009
I didn’t think men were even allowed to wonder this out loud…or that french cuffs were allowed to be worn sans jacket much less rolled up, if at all *flips to the index of the Male Rulebook*
@ 4:12 pm on March 20, 2009
the fact that you ARE gay makes you look gay.
shirts don’t make people gay. just the alcoholic homos that wear them.
the french cuffs are only gay eric because they help keep unwanted pubes out of your way at the paris book store…which is where i will see you in about an hour. room 17b
knock twice.

Dude get some sleep eat some food and enjoy yourself.
@ 4:39 pm on March 20, 2009
Forget the shirt, it’s the out-of-date buckle.

Why is this picture flipped? Look at the material in the background (a Dixie Chicks cover of Spirit magazine, some “Pink” thing, and an old cover of The Met (along with a letter of response from then mayor Ron Kirk)). Tell us why you flipped the image, Eric. I suspect that in your answer, we’ll find unmistakable evidence of your gayness.

Tim,
For once…just once, offer something of relevance. Just once. Please.
Eric,
The shirt doesn’t make you look gay. However, the extra sock stuffed in your pants does.

The caption should read: “Eric remonstrating with a new intern, ‘This was clearly spelled out on the job app. You can’t very well get squeamish on me now.’”

I am so tired of all the self obsession going around.
@ 11:10 am on March 21, 2009
Nope. Your big fat ego makes you look fat. To say it makes you look gay is an insult to gayness.
@ 3:47 pm on March 21, 2009
I’m no Cougar, but as I’ve mentioned before, Mrs. Celeste is a lucky lady.
But why the concern?
@ 5:01 pm on March 21, 2009
Yeah you look fat because it looks like a two-year-old tucked in your shirt!
@ 5:38 pm on March 21, 2009
I don’t think the question was “Does this shirt make me look gay?” Ghost and Oh Yep. It appears to be, “Does this shirt make me look fat?”
@ 8:37 pm on March 21, 2009
No. Your face does.
@ 11:58 pm on March 21, 2009
You need to get a tan.
@ 7:50 pm on March 22, 2009
I saw a comic in Arlington years ago who said something apropos:
“I asked my wife, ‘Do these jeans make me look fat?’ She said no. ‘It’s your ass that makes you look fat.’”

32 commnents and not one asking if you’ve ever heard of a collar stay?
While you’re stocking up on collar stays, grab some v-neck undershirts as well.
It’s evident the fashionistas of Dallas never leave ShopTalk.
