In summary, Moonbear is considering wearing a clown suit to his graduation, and is also considering wearing a straightjacket.

I'm starting to understand why schools stick with those graduation robes and dress codes. It saves kids the anxiety of trying to plan some outrageous outfit 4 months in advance! I know a few people who went all out on dresses for graduation, etc., but most of us just dug through the closet a week ahead and found something that met the dress code.

I'm just thinking about the other people who have to sit next to you during the ceremony. Do you think they want a clown or pimp next to them in all their pictures? You're not the only one graduating that day. You could wear a proper suit to the ceremony and change into anything you want for the parties after. If you must have something a little goofy, wear a wild tie and suspenders with the suit.

I am shocked and disappointed! Never did I dream that something so mundane would escape your keyboard. (Not even chaps?) :-p

:smile: This cracked me up.

unfortunately, you've shamed me out of my own graduation outfit plans now. :redface: Three words: SpongeBob SquarePants costume. Or is that 5 words?
I was still going to wear the cap and gown - just over the costume.

Sorry to disappoint, but while I have no objections to people expressing their individuality, there are some occasions when it is appropriate to respect the others who are present. Every single person graduating that day is the center of attention for their family, and making a spectacle of the event is unfair to the others who take it more seriously. If it was an event ONLY in his honor, such as a post-graduation party with his family and friends, then if he wants to arrive dressed as a clown, that's fine. Though, I wouldn't stop him from wearing a dress either, as long as it was a tasteful one that any girl there would wear to such an occasion.

gourd Maybe you should wear one of these

yeah.. that's a good idea

Although remember: Linear expansion is due to heat, and linear contraction is due to cold. Dont lose the wood or you'll feel the cold :rolleyes:

Maybe some two sided sticky tape would be in order?

Can't say that I've had the pleasure. Heard a couple of things about him and saw his picture, but that's it. Sounds like a splendid fellow.

Well with any luck you will. :smile: I can immagine the clashes you two will have.

I don't think clashes will be a problem. I'm more worried about what will get detonated and how far the damage will extend. :biggrin:

Hmm, tibdog just got a faster connection right? Somebody check the porn sites.

Of course... if he doesn't like sheep, we might have been looking in the wrong places.

:smile: That would turn some heads.


You certainly wouldn't want it to come up behind you without turning around. :biggrin: :-p

I sent him a PM last night. I'm truly getting a bit worried about him. He had this habit of seriously injuring himself even in the most mundane of situations. The last job I heard about him working on involved dynamite. I dunno..

This wasn't a bridge-clearing operation, was it? Hey Ivan... see any Trib-like bits floating along with the truck parts? You might have more of a rebuild on your hands than you were anticipating.

I was thinking to do the same, but if he has PC problems...

Maybe we should form a search party...Janitor? Moose? Check the melon section, and then let's do a 25 mile radius from there! And perhaps we should start a tribdog PC fund (You can send the money to me according to instructions under the "...Funniest thing mankind has ever done" thread).

Seriously, though, since you've sent a PM I won't, but I do hope all is okay with him...
