reesetee commented on the word hawaiian shirts
What? That's crazy talk. I have a whole wardrobe of them.

I 'spect he has. After all, that's how you show that you've been to Hickalulu!

Sorry about the caps down there. Hawaiian shirts should come with a volume control.

chained_bear commented on the word hawaiian shirts
Reesetee, clearly you must be the one to adopt this page.
October 16, 2008
reesetee commented on the word hawaiian shirts
Me? Why, I've never adopted a page before . . . that I'm aware of.
Well, okay. In the interest of all the orphaned Hawaiian shirts out there--what the hey. :-) Unghost it!

oroboros commented on the word hawaiian shirts
Done!

mollusque commented on the word hawaiian shirts
Darn, just missed it for my former ghosts list. I have book on Hawaiian Shirts, although mine is bound with a different shirt.
October 17, 2008
reesetee commented on the word hawaiian shirts
Ha! I think I gave that same book to my dad--the original Hawaiian Shirt Guy--as a Father's Day gift many years ago. I wonder whether he still has it.

trivet commented on the word hawaiian shirts
Can't believe they were left out of Dad School. Or is it the plural?
Edit: nope - Hawaiian shirt is a ghostie.
October 17, 2008
reesetee commented on the word hawaiian shirts
Not anymore! But they definitely belong in Dad School. :-)

"I have book on Hawaiian Shirts, although mine is bound with a different shirt." Beautiful, beautiful. My week has just climaxed.

smrtrthnu commented on the word hawaiian shirts
i used to live in hawaii, and hawaiian shirts are purely a stereotype of true hawaiian style.
October 17, 2008
reesetee commented on the word hawaiian shirts
That may well be, smrtrthnu, but I don't give a rat's ass. I wear them because of my father, not to conform to true Hawaiian style. :-)
Bilby: Yes, that book comes in a variety of shirts--or at least it used to. You could buy several copies and own your own shirt-book wardrobe.

Does this Hawaiian shirt make me look fat...?
October 17, 2008
smrtrthnu commented on the word hawaiian shirts
maybe
October 17, 2008
reesetee commented on the word hawaiian shirts
Uh oh. *looks at watch*
The Pattern?
October 17, 2008
chained_bear commented on the word hawaiian shirts
*sigh* I would hate to think it's The Pattern. I really would.
Dontcry, this Hawaiian shirt makes you look flowery and festive. But does my fat ass make my ass look fat?

Prolagus commented on the word hawaiian shirts
Well... it's a more parsimonious option...

asativum commented on the word hawaiian shirts
smrtrthnu, don't be silly. Next thing you'll be telling me Parisians don't put French dressing on their salads or send French letters. Or that Alaskans aren't making baked Alaska all the time.
October 18, 2008
smrtrthnu commented on the word hawaiian shirts
maybe, but hawaiian shirts are a creation of tourism, sold as souveneirs. no true regard for the culture at all.
October 18, 2008
Prolagus commented on the word hawaiian shirts
I love pizza. And pasta. (But I don't play the mandolin.)
October 18, 2008
smrtrthnu commented on the word hawaiian shirts
i must admit though that hawaiian shirts are a good addition to a wardrobe.

bilby commented on the word hawaiian shirts
You know, I went out to dinner last night and in the restaurant, which was not themed at all, the entire staff were wearing Hawaiian shirts.
Wordie is making things appear in my life. Should I be worried?
October 18, 2008
dontcry commented on the word hawaiian shirts
Did you think any of the wait-staff looked, you know, a little heavier in their Hawaiian shirts? I'm convinced that those shirts add pounds to the wearer. Kind of like video. And I think I know why. It's the pattern...

asativum commented on the word hawaiian shirts
I once attended a luau in Alaska. It was held by authentic Samoans; they even wore skirts. But not many of those in attendance seemed to have Hawaiian shirts.
Maybe we should call them something else, given that Hawaiians apparently hate brightly colored garments with amusing pictoral patterns.
How about Old Retired Geezer shirts, or Midwesterners in a Festive Mood shirts, or even Florida Toll Booth Worker shirts?
October 18, 2008
dontcry commented on the word hawaiian shirts
Maybe we could call them, "Hawaiian Flowers & Colors (or Colours) & Patterns That May Make You Look Larger Than You Really Are And Real Hawaiians Would Never Be Caught Dead In Them Shirts" ?

Reesetee - wow... that was harsh.
October 18, 2008
bilby commented on the word hawaiian shirts
You're right dontcry. I came home 2 kilograms heavier and that was just from looking at them.
October 18, 2008
dontcry commented on the word hawaiian shirts
That's all I'm saying. *wonders if they make an all black one...*

Sorry, pleth, that's a Dry Tortugan shirt.

oroboros commented on the word hawaiian shirts
Huh! Well, I had an ancestor on the Mayflower that wore the first Hawaiian shirt(s). So there! Unfortunately, he didn't survive the trip...I'm told. Good thing he wasn't my only ancestor. Or, if he was, I'm just a Wordie fig newton (always a possibility--see solipsism or solecism).
October 19, 2008
reesetee commented on the word hawaiian shirts
What was harsh, dontcry? That I like pineapple?
*feeling sleek in my totally faux Hawaiian shirt*
October 20, 2008
dontcry commented on the word hawaiian shirts
Pineapples are extremely high in citric acid.
