in which life imitates fiction

My company has declared next Wednesday to be "Hawaiian Shirt Day." SRSLY. With a colorful little clip-art, emailed memo. I am informed that grass skirts are optional. Also: fresh fruit and a chocolate fountain in the kitchen.

Monday is "Mexican Shirt Day" (with chips and dip). On Friday, we have a more free-form "summer attire" experience, rounded out by ice cream.

So if grass skirts are optional... ;-)

And me without a coconut bra. More's the pity, eh?

I had a friend that I worked with at Sprint - he was much bigger than I - who came in one day with a grass skirt and coconut bra on (over his clothes, but still). I think he had lost a bet, but I can't remember for sure - but it was right after our manager got back from her wedding/honeymoon in Hawaii.

Um...you know we could fix you up with the coconuts and grass skirts from the last God Auction, right?

Let me guess. Floggings will continue until morale improves?

What do you suppose constitutes a 'Mexican shirt'?

Alternately, I have a really pretty Mexican dress you (Saff) can borrow if you like.

oooh. That might be nice! May I have a peek at it this evening, once the ritual is done? If we remember. :)

The mind boggles. Perhaps I could wear something laced...and leather pants, a la' "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" -- that'd be fun.

But do you have a short cape to go with it?

I know, Not Helpful!

No. I can't accept it.

You have got to be kidding. The grass skirts must be mandatory.
