Phil: Recovering Leprechaun

"Hi, my name is Phil, and I'm a recovering leprechaun. I wanted to play hockey, like all my friends.  My parents hated me, so they put in figure skating. The entire freaking universe hated me, so that particular year I was required to dress up as a leprechaun. Please note the lovingly crafted tin foil buckles on my skates. Also note the fact that a seven year old should really be able to look to his parents for protection, not as the source of many many years of ridicule to come. Sadly, I was never in figure skating long enough to get babes; all I ended up with was beats from my hockey playing friends. Thanks mom and dad. When you end up in the nursing home, guess what you're wearing?" --Phil

After the jump: Phil today...

You're still wearing green though, man. I am loving the baggy pants and ill-fitting vest with... is that a glue-glitter shamrock? YES!

I am at work. When I read this I burst into laughter - now everyone thinks I'm crazy. This is the cutest, funniest thing I've seen in a while. Awesome.

Thanks for the giggles - I think I was a bunny on skates once but it wasn't pretty. Your Lebrechaun takes the cake!

Hilarious! I think your leprachaun photo is the absolute best of the "before" photos! You turned out GREAT, tho!
