Here Comes The Boom
Oh hell yeah! I miss the days when people would carry around boomboxes. These new fangled iPods with their tiny pocket-sized carrying convenience and ability to hold more than 6 songs per side of the tape. Bullshit is what it is!

I put a HUNDRED dollars down on the song he is listening to is Chaka Kahn’s ..”Feel for you” ……
September 8th, 2011
I LOVE that it has a shoulder strap!! Did he rig that?
September 8th, 2011
Holy Shit!!! It has a cassette player on it!!! LOL
September 8th, 2011
I love the fact that Wal-Mart put a security sticker on it, like they still sell these back in electronics. HA
September 8th, 2011
Apparently, not everyone is aware that Sugar Hill Gang’s Greatest Hits is available on iTunes.
September 8th, 2011
“This is my jam! Hold on baby, let me turn the tape over…”
September 8th, 2011
It even has a Walmart sticker on it!
September 8th, 2011
“what do you mean you don’t sell cassette tapes?? how am i supposed to record music?”
September 8th, 2011
Anyone else notice the walmart sticker on the left side?
September 8th, 2011
The boom box even has a walmart sticker on it!
September 8th, 2011
Hey …….at least he has headphones so we don’t have to listen to that “Rap Crap”.
September 8th, 2011
Ability to record my jams on the go. SMART! Only having 1 tape to record on. FAIL!
September 8th, 2011
This would make a good Mastercard commercial: Boombox… $50 Beats Headphones… $450 Walking around Wal-mart like you all that and then some….. PRICELESS!
September 8th, 2011
Dude is vintage! You know he has a 1980′s IROC Camaro or T-top Firebird in the parking lot!
September 8th, 2011
At least he has the common courtesy to use earphones. But electronics-fashion wise, he needs something twice as big, double the cassette decks & something a bit more metal-ish, not white. Perhaps he’s going for hipster points here.
Like the shoulder strap though.
September 8th, 2011
1986 called. They want their ‘fashion’ back
September 8th, 2011
It’s the Walmart sticker on the corner of the boom box that brings it all together.
September 8th, 2011
We should all be thankful that he is wearing his “earbuds”.
September 8th, 2011
I can’t hear you over the awesomeness of my honest-to-goodness, melt-your-face MoFo.
September 8th, 2011
I wonder what his Cellular Phone Device looks like…
September 8th, 2011
I like it. There is a certain sense of style missing with mp3 players. Color and style of boombox is kinda gay, though. Should have invested in the large-ass silver/gray “pump up da bass” boombox.
September 8th, 2011
Jeez…hasn’t this guys ever heard of a Walkman??
September 8th, 2011
What no 8-track – what a loser
September 8th, 2011
Didn’ t notice until now he has a smaller bag to the lower right. That must be for more cassettes. He’d fit right in peopleofurbanoutfitters.com.
September 8th, 2011
I hate it when technology keeps outrunning me. My last car (Alero) (Ya, those disappeared too) actually had CD and cassette both. Miss that.
September 8th, 2011
GROOVY MAN! LOL Gonna have SERIOUS BACK PROBLEMS SOMEDAY!! At least he’s wearing earphones and isnt BLASTING IT for everyone to hear! My favorite is when they’re riding their bike with no hands and holding on their shoulder blasting it for EVERYONE to hear their crappy music…and I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA! LOL
September 8th, 2011
Ghetto for sure just think how much he spends on batteries. D size lol
September 8th, 2011
i have noticed the he is lost in the 80′s even with his clothes
September 8th, 2011
He carries this around indoors so those who don’t get to hear his car stereo don’t feel cheated.
September 8th, 2011
My Walmart didn’t have those slick asterisk stickers the last time I took something in there! Just some ghetto old-school blank price tags.
September 8th, 2011
The iPod lacks the visual impact of the boom box. Big box equals big volume.
September 8th, 2011
I think the most amazing thing is that they managed to get a picture of the only Black Man in Wyoming.
September 8th, 2011
I personally like the head band holding the headphones on his head!!!
September 8th, 2011
could only imagine what the lady bhind the counter is thinkin….head down prob tryin keep from lmao
oh dear god were r the fashion police when u need them?
September 8th, 2011
The best part is that assuming this picture was taken recently, i.e., August or early September, it’s still warm enough in Wyoming that unless it was very early morning, it’s probably hot as hell for what appears to be 3 layers of sweatshirts!
September 8th, 2011
Ah, wait. I don’t see the white cord attached to the headphones. But then I obviously am older school than most of you. Doesn’t have to be?? Attached by the cords under his shirt?? Tiny squirrel in a wheel?? Actually trying to return the boom box and has nothing to do with the headphones??
Help me, Rhonda…..

A black guy in Wyoming???????
This has to be photoshopped.
September 8th, 2011
Pump up the jam….at the checkout counter at Wal-mart.
September 8th, 2011
language FAIL
September 8th, 2011
I promise that MAN is one hell of a lot happier between his two ears right now than I am between my two legs right now.
September 8th, 2011
This dude might just be so O.G. that he don’t know anything but tapes.. stuck up in the trap or pen his whole life.. lol..
September 8th, 2011
This picture had to have been taken in 1985.
September 8th, 2011
I wonder if he was short on cash so he brought his boombox in to Wal-Mart to try to return it for some quick cash. No matter that he bought it 25 years ago. You can return pretty much ANYTHING to Wal-Mart.
September 8th, 2011
head phones 20.00
jacket 25.00
booming at walmart priceless lol
September 8th, 2011
“I said D cells Mother F**Ker”
September 8th, 2011
Screw You…I would give anything for that cassette player…I haven’t been able to listen to my tapes in years!
September 9th, 2011
Me an’ Cher are in agreement.
September 9th, 2011
Ghetto Hipster?
He’s carrying around a boombox to play music over his headphones. Trying to be “ironic” or something?
September 9th, 2011
At least it has a CD player.
September 9th, 2011
is he wearing beats by dre?
September 9th, 2011
lol Why the heck did they even bother putting a walmart sticker on it. Was someone going to think he stay in the store for 20 years and was going to steal it now?
September 9th, 2011
Brother is kickin’ it old school! and what do you want to be that Geo-Mercedes on here recently belongs to him?
September 10th, 2011
Look very closely. There is a Walmart sticker on his boombox. Thats disturbing.
September 10th, 2011
IT’S GLORIOUS!!!!!!!
September 10th, 2011
Bwahahahaahh that is to funny I used to live in wyoming .. and this is the first i have ever seen this
September 11th, 2011
What song is he listening to? “Boom” by P.O.D.? “Here Comes the Boom” by Nelly? “Boombox” by The Lonely Island feat. Julian Casablancas of The Strokes? “Boom” by Snoop Dogg feat. T-Pain? Probably neither of the above.
September 12th, 2011
Take me to funky town this guy has the next BIG idea for Apple………. F the ipod, he’s got a ibox. Carry strap sold seperately. Or make your own
September 13th, 2011
Anybody that worked at the FYE in Cheyenne knows this man as conspiracy theory….too funny!
September 21st, 2011
I would just like to let the world know that this guy lived across the hall from me for over two years. I seriously could not stop laughing when I saw this.
September 21st, 2011
…”Excuse me, Sir, but your boom box has fallen from your shoulder”.
September 22nd, 2011
Holy shit, there are black people in Wyoming? (I’m black, so I can say that!)
October 4th, 2011
I just feel bad that as a black man he is one of very few in Wyoming,
October 24th, 2011
After he left the other associates and I could NOT stop cracking jokes. (Yes, this is my store.) Who knew something vintage could bring hours of entertainment!
November 18th, 2011
By the way, his “cellular phone” is in a big bag on the other side. He has to dial the tower first then the number! yeah, I hear the eighties calling him back. Maybe he is wanting not to look too outta place when he gets to his “Time Musheen” And back to the eighties.
