what would a cfc party be like?

[Lohrenswald]

I'll take away all the sandwiches

 

[LucyDuke]

I'll set your tail on fire.

 

[Narz]

Oh God if there is only one girl there & everyone is trying to talk to her at once pathetically I would shake my head & find a better party.

 

[BirraImperial]

Ok, let's find out!!! Next CFC Meeting will take place at my home in Costa Rica!! Come on, it's not so expensive for Americans CFCer's (Don't be fooled by thinking Liberia is in Africa, there's a town here named Liberia as well)...

Well, if even one shows up, that should put to rest the "Girls don't play Civ!" nonsense that some of us have had to put up with on this site.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Nope. I'm wearing a man disguise. Some of you are creeps.

Well I guess we could randomize the avatar buttons and if folks don't remember your pictures, then you could be anyone you wanted, even Perfection; I'm guessing he would be a no show even if it was all expenses paid. Or you and M. Sanger could switch places

Hey! We could have a talent show as one evening's entertainment.

 

[ummmm........]

I'd bet you're all actually very civilized and polite irl . . .

 

[Gucumatz]

Party pics would definitely hurt Downtown politically the morning after

 

[Borachio]

Will silly hats be obligatory or optional? I rather suit a silly hat, imo.

 

[azzaman333]

I would assume it'd look like an academic/political conference, except less civilized

Hopefully less hawaiian shirts than the typical academic conferences I've attended.

 

[Phrossack]

I think the only people who wear Hawaiian shirts are American spies hoping to look so obviously like American spies that nobody would suspect that they are American spies.

That, or people trying to spoof the stereotypical middle-aged American tourist. I mean, people can't really be wearing those things in normal contexts, can they?

Hmm... if I were going to this hypothetical party, I'd either wear one of my I Can Has Cheezburger? hats, or my Fourth Doctor hat.

Or I could wear my Majipoori court headdress, but I'd need the rest of the costume with it or it really would look silly.

Dachs isn't in this thread yet, so hope remains.

Oh wow, now thats an offer I just might actually have to take you up on!

Next winter? I haven't been anywhere tropical since 2002 (south coast of Mexico) & haven't even been on a plane since my daughter's been born.

Every person I know who's ever been to Costa Rica raves about it.

Well, if even one shows up, that should put to rest the "Girls don't play Civ!" nonsense that some of us have had to put up with on this site.

I for one would like to see you there. (make sure you get a good cat sitter)

Costa Rica is on my list. Should be cheap enough to get to..

They're breezy and comfortable, they tend to have sizes cut that fit my fat gut, and I like bright colors. I don't even like the beach, but shorts and a Hawaiian shirt, some sandals for breeze, some socks on there so my feet stay notsweaty and notsunburnt, ahhh, the comfort is amazing.

 

[warpus]

Yeah but why do they need to be so flashy and colourful? What do you gain by that, exactly? I mean, I can understand it if your fashion sense calls for bright colours everywhere, and palm trees, and dolphins, or whatever else. But I don't see guys who wear hawaiian shirts wearing super flashy shorts or socks or shoes or hats or drive cars painted with penguins holding pina coladas on it or anything like that. So why not just wear a shirt that's exactly like a hawaiian shirt, but doesn't call so much attention to you via colourful imagery?

 

[Farm Boy]

Because why not? They're so whimsy. Like a wonderfully bad tie. Or an English hat.

 

[Cutlass]

Back before local radio was entirely bought out by corporate suckiness there were a couple of fat guys who did the morning show on one channel who hosted events called Hawaiian Shirt Fridays. So a bunch of people around wore them.

Spoiler :

So it's basically a "Oh what the hell, I don't care what I look like today and all my other shirts are in the wash" type of move.
