That's it, I QUIT!
I don't see the point of this year's theme at all, I don't even like cargo pants!

Re: That's it, I QUIT!
You don't quit because of fashion. You quit in order to express your deep connection to the brown and oppressed.

Re: That's it, I QUIT!
I just heard from The Hat. He heard that OED isn't going, so he's going to change the theme to one we all loved....
NEBULOUS ENTITY!
(Now that was a theme with maximum suckage.)
BTW, Does anyone really notice the theme when they get to the desert????

Actually, I even missed the desert, much less the theme. I guess I was kind of out of it.

Re: That's it, I QUIT!
The only time I ever would have guessed the theme immediately was during 2008's American Dream, because there were so many flags (and constitutions, and bills of rights).Ugly Dougly wrote:I just heard from The Hat.

Re: That's it, I QUIT!
Pants? I thought this year was about celebrating the music of Men At Work?

Dammit, I was already working out plans for an awesome Dr. Hekyll & Mr. Jive costume...

Cargo pants make your butt look big. That is why they are popular in the Marines.

Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.
