PHOTO STORY - UNCLE DIRTY

Uncle Dirty is an 86-year-old former bodybuilder who spends his days watching TV, making model trains, and creating DIY porn. Oh, he also sews his own thongs, which he stuffs with various objects and parades on the beach (until the cops ask him to leave). Despite these disturbing antics, Uncle Dirty is really quite endearing, mainly due to his devotion to Auntie Alga, his 91-year-old, mentally handicapped wife. See photos.

Alga is almost completely unintelligible. Uncle Dirty can understand her, but few other people can.

He has to hold his eye open to see in detail.

This is what he would look like if he was a kid again. "I saw a guy on the beach with nipple rings… It looked quite manly."

He told me to come take pictures of him vacuuming the floor in his thong. I'm not sure if he left these images on the television on purpose or if it was truly an accident. The images on the screen are videos of himself taken by himself.

There has always been a joke in my family about Uncle Dirty's "mysterious bulge" When asked about this Dirty assures me, "What you see is what I got!"
