Wow, let’s see…
* Santa
* S&M mask
* Steelers fan
* Soviet Union t-shirt
* What look like Mardi Gras beads
* Moxie. Lots and lots of moxie.
It’s Steampunk Yeti. I have seen it before …
Of COURSE he’s wearing a CCCP t-shirt.
The only thing that would make that shot even better if it was shown that he was wearing zebra stripe Zubaz pants.
Worst of all? He’s a Communist!
Santa being a big fat Russian guy that tries to reinstate Communism by handing out things to children actually makes sorta sense.
“Santa, no!” made me win a price in an advent calendar, where the objective was to provide a funny link to a website. I feel slightly dirty now.
