Yes, after nearly two years in their nefarious clutches, Rimpy Rimpington, has managed to extricate himself and is holding the Freakin' Green Elf Shorts Caption Competition!
Here's a little tease of his photo:
For those not in the know or who may need a little reminder, the Freakin' Green Elf Shorts were inadvertantly conjured up by Queen of the Elves, Andrea Knapp back in 2004.

As to why anyone in their right mind would want to be violated by the detestable polyestables, the 'Shorts insidious mind control powers made otherwise rational minds turn to mush and crave the feeling of unwashed polyester against their nether regions, thereby perpetuating the 'Shorts bid for world domination!
Uh, anyway, here's the latest version of The Freakin' Green Elf Shorts Travel Map so you can see where in the world has been tainted by the 'Shorts (and, therefore, which places to avoid):

For more details of The Freakin' Green Elf Shorts' terrifyingly long-lived reign of velour terror, please refer to the Definitive History of The Freakin Green Elf Shorts by the Official FGES Historian (retired), The Very Mistress, and The Continuing History of The Freakin' Green Elf Shorts by current Official FGES Historian and Commissioner of Clones, Rimpy Rimpington.
Could you be the next unlucky victim host of the 'Shorts? Get yourself over to Rimpy's and leave a caption to be in with a chance of joining the very select few wearers of
The Freakin' Green Elf Shorts!
* How many customs officers have worn - or been worn - by the 'Shorts, I wonder?


"Could you be the next unlucky victim/ host of the 'Shorts?"
ReplyDeleteNo, ta. Jx
But green velour and golden bells could be your theme for next year's Pride!
DeleteBleurrrgh! Jx
DeleteI don't know why, but I have entered the contest. If I win we won't see another contest for at least 10 years - I mean, they could end up going to the grave with me!

I have yet to make it over to caption yet...but if I keep losing weight, I have no idea how they will stay up if they'd end up in my clutches again. And to think, the shorts have gotten around more than some of us.
ReplyDeleteI have just paid a visit to Rimpy to view the fabled Elfin Shorts and am excited to see where the journey takes then next.
