Clam Digger? Yeah, you're buddy Tyrone calls you up, you know - in the game - and he says "I can dig more clams than you, stupid!" And you gotta say "Nuh-uh, boy," And y'all gotta race down to the beach with your buckets and your shovels, and the object of the game...is to find parking.
Jeff, You and I must be long lost brothers. One of my biggest pet peeves in life is dressing up. But even worse... is TUCKING IN shirts. I can't do it. I'm not comfortable and I get very moody when I have to do it for work (meeting clients). Everyone I know thinks I'm a wierdo, especially my co-workers. They laugh when they see me in a pissy mood b/c I have to wear chinos or khakis and a dress shirt at work b/c I have to meet a client. Usually it's a polo shirt UNTUCKED, with roomy jeans. I hate tucking in!!!! and I detest dressing up!!! If I could wear my standard khaki shorts and polo, short-sleeve shirts everyday, I would be in heaven!
In the product group, the dress code is very loose. Even the VPs of engineering that report to the CEO (one of the richest in the nation ) are seen wearing jeans and sneakers. I guess that's just part of the corporate culture here. But you're right about having employees dictate the dress code. It opens the floodgates for fashion faux paus like jorts, hawaiian shirts, flip flops, etc.
I present you: Kelvin Sampson, men's basketball head coach, University of Oklahoma. The champion of the "jirt."
I think the annoyance of refs always calling them "Jirts" is what makes him so whiney during games. He's standing on the court, not to complain about calls, but to tell the refs that the proper name isn't jirt. God, I feel dirty just typing that word, I can't even make a proper shot at Sampson's on-court antics. I'm frazzled, I'm worthless for the rest of the day - I may need medication to deal with this. Like M&Ms. P.S. Jean Shirt. You make "The List".

It's one thing to have a hullabaloo over who's going to be the next leader of the free world. It souldn't happen when you're talking about jorts. list of things to do today: work hullabaloo into conversation-check
Is it just me or am I an unoriginal, no-vision, hack with a pathetic puppy dog follow-the-leader personality. list of things to do today: work unoriginal, no-vision, hack with a pathetic puppy dog follow-the-leader personality into conversation-- check.
Well, I am certainly miffed that this guy already was talking about "jirts" before me! list of things to do today: work miffed into conversation - check.
Frickin fashion police..... I L.O.V.E......absolutely LOVE to wear stuff that people think is tasteless..... in the summer around here....I live in jean shorts(to the knee of course)....and yes..you can still buy them...easily... kudos to Pued for speaking for all of us that dont feel the need to conform with the "acceptable clothing brigade" hell.....in honor of this thread....I shall wear my jean shorts with a tasteless concert shirt and some nice white and black vans.
I don't know if this thread qualifies as argle bargle, or fooferah, but people who work in an office environment and have a problem dressing like grownups shouldn't be allowed to vote or own property or drive cars. NAYYYYY I get to wear shorts to work NAYYYYYYY!!!!!
