In case you missed the annual Fremont Summer Solstice Day parade, in north Seattle...Seattle PI for slideshow, and more.
This guy had a real 'simple' costume! First he consumed a quntlity of JACK DANIELS and stripped! ......Second - he painted himself in a gay array of SUMMER BODY PAINT COLORS! . Third- he 'adorned ' himself with ONLY TWO TIED ON PICTURE FRAMES below his Belly Button and across his REAR! And - Fourth he ENTITLED the 'Front Frame' Top - and I quote - CHENEY'S.... and the 'Rear Frame' Top - and I quote- BUSH'S ...... I have to say he was a SHOW STOPPER! There were many Kodak Moments spent on this guy! A winner!!
Euphemisms have been used to "soften the language" when it comes to the condition in combat where a soldier's nervous system has reached the breaking point. In World War I, it was called "shell shock." In World War II, it became "battle fatigue," definitely less harsh-sounding, though two syllables became four.
