blackUnicorn says:

God, it's like, we knit these awful embarrasing clothes for children that they regret later in life, and that's kind of okay because everyone has some kind of childhood humiliation story like Aunt-Hilda's-clown-sweater-from-when-I-was-th ree. But this, this is an ADULT SIZED MONSTROSITY. I fear the knitter who made this.

You, sir, are a good sport.

I'm not sure which I enjoyed more, the sweater (though I also fear clowns), your expression, or the back story you provide: "Allow me to retort, in a vernacular you may understand. 'Your leik so right! I am a such a looser!'"

Thanks for the laugh.
