You know what, it did not disappoint.

Seriously, the only thing this picture is missing is his Nikes.
-
Not having heard the show yet, this is all wonderfully bewildering.
-
I know absolutely nothing about Joe Paterno, but that story and this picture make me so happy.
-
Finally, the truth comes out about the real life inspiration for all five National Lampoon's Vacation movies. I want to meet that dad!
-
Oh lord, this is hysterical.
-

He is one of those great stories that make me enjoy sports. He is insane. MASTERFULLY. And I think about 45% titanium by this point.
-
Its as awkward looking as I dreamed it would be. Great Job!
-
I love how Dad isn't even in the picture.
-

Yeah, seriously. haha
Oh man, I loved this story. It is all very RL Clark Griswold, it's true.

Why is Mom still in her pajamas?
Is anyone else experiencing retina strain from all that stone washed denim?
-
Why is Mom still in her pajamas?
Good catch, B_B. The answer: she was roused out of bed by her husband! "NO!! We need to go NOW! The kids are already dressed! Let's do this!" What an incredible image.
-
I wonder what Joe Paterno would think if he ever found this page.
-
That story was the pinnacle of an overall classic best show episode. Thanks Jckinnick & neilnumberman for sharing this here!
-

"What a great group," obviously.
Or, as a somewhat longer shot, "Joe! Joe! Joe! Joe! Joe! Joe! Joe! Joe! Joe! Joe! Joe! Joe! Joe!"
-
That picture is truly amazing.

Sounds like a deleted scene from The Great Santini.
-
Hot Mom.
-
OH how wonderful
-
Help, I'm being oppressed.

My mom is mortified by those pants. We are all horrified by that pic. One of my favorite parts is Joe Paterno's awkward arm reach around my little brother in the front.
-
Thanks for sharing the incredible story and picture CathWO!
I'm pretty sure I had a denim jacket exactly like your little brother's.
-

You're not being oppressed, Trembling Eagle. But I don't feel like turning this into some thread where we're going to discuss the personal appearance of someone who was gracious enough to allow this picture to be posted here.
Since you're so gung ho on talking about how I look and how she might look as an adult, when are we going to see the pictures of you?
Tom.

Yes! And his left hand is making a weird claw-like gesture. And why is he titling to the left? Wind? Uneven legs?
-
bloody hell
I meant "repressed".
I best leave the comedy to the pro's.
-
This photo+story is the greatest thing ever.

Because he's old..
And yes this is one of the funniest things I've heard/seen in a while.

Glorious

Nary a living room in my part of Pennsylvania that doesn't have a similar JoePa pic on the mantle. He just acts like it's a hassle for him.
-
I cant tell if the daughter is wearing a jean jacket as well? If not thats the only thing this pic is missing.
-
Thanks for sharing this story & picture. Best first call ever?
-
My little brother just pointed out his self-done haircut. Check out his bangs.
-
The pockets on mom's jacket look like oven mitts.
-
I love how her brother on the left looks soooooo unhappy to be there. Very Rusty Griswold. LOVE IT.
-
favorite picture, favorite story, CathWO.

Yes. Great story. Great picture. Thanks for sharing.
-
Oh man! Thanks for posting this pic!
-
Wow. Just wow.
-
Couldn't even bother to give that kid's shoulder an open-handed cup, JoePa? What's with the crumpled, failed judo-chop half-fist? And just for the heck of it: Hoggle.

I'm going to be at the Rose Bowl and will try my best to get an awkward picture with Coach Paterno.

I hear he responds well to "Hey Coach!"
-
I'm rooting for COACH! because he's a standup guy and because mutants from USC make the Red Lion an unbearable place to be.
-
wow.

This is one of the worst stories to come out in years. Of course, Paterno did attend Newt Gingrich's birthday party in 1995.
Best new fact from this article:
"The local district attorney, who for unknown reasons decided not to press charges, disappeared in 2005 and was declared legally dead in July."

Oh, man, I laughed really hard at this. You know he totally did this just so he could hide behind a nearby gravestone with a fedora pulled down low, listening to everything his friends said about him at the funeral.
