Ah, but I carry a gun and camouflage it under a Hawaiian shirt for defeating MACRO-aggression. And I didn't appropriate the shirt, I PAID for it. If the Hawaiians don't want me to have it, they shouldn't offer it for sale. :nono:
I always get a chuckle when I see the word 'appropriation'...

Being a Marine, our ethos are such that we don't lie, cheat or steal. Over in the gulf war, we 'appropriated' anything we needed that wasn't nailed down or sat on by a soldier...lol. The First Shirt said we weren't stealing it, we were 'appropriating' it...lol.

In the back of my mind, I see that word used like it is nowadays and wonder how it is that I can possibly 'steal' someone's culture???

So I'm sitting at the front desk at the Communication building this morning covering the information table for Judy. This wierd guy wearing a huge Hawaian shirt brings his kid in. The kid wants to know where the computer lab is, but his dad stays by the doors and won't come in. I told him to come in so we could talk like normal people and he tells me he's carrying a gun. Thank God for those new no gun signs they put up. I told him he should stay out. What kind of paranoid lunatic takes his 15 year old kid to campus with a gun? Take that as a lesson - you never know when someone with a gun is walking around. Without those signs, who knows what he would have done.

I could totally hear her side of the story in my head. Fun writing the other side. Eh eh.

That huge Hawaiian shirt would just be a target...triggering some youngster with that kind of fashion feau pas is not wise...
