Strange Garb by rongo rongo, Listener, bunny dragon

April 8th, 2008 7:28 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Go somewhere dressed in unorthodox clothes.

For instance, you could sunbathe at the beach in a three-piece suit or go to work in a kimono. Use your judgment: for instance, if you're somehow a modern geisha, then wearing a kimono to work wouldn't be so unorthodox.

Take photos as proof.

The one issue I have with Boston is that there is no nearby Arby's. (And yet, there are usually at least three Dunkin Donuts visible from any given point.) So I declared a plan to visit to the nearest Arby's and dress inappropriately. Look at the pictures to see how it goes.

The interesting thing about all these dress funny and go somewhere praxes is that the consistent thread through all the reports is that nobody else ever gives much of a crap what you guys wear :>

We're in Boston.

New England? C'mon. We're *masters* of the "nod and smile... nod and smile" approach to Not Asking About That Strange Thing.

Well, unless we're flipping out about terrorists installing Lite-Brites on our bridges. Lite-Brites is serious business, after all.

*cough*

Actually, one guy did come up and compliment Listener on his outfit. But he didn't say anything to the rest of the group.

Actually I don't think that's true, Scienceguru. It isn't that people don't care, it is that people don't usually speak up about it. In today's society it is deemed most polite to quietly tolerate even the strangest of goings on. They don't express their opinions, generally, even when things get ugly.

Try making strange and menacing sounds... hell, even be abusive... on the bus sometime, and watch the people around you. It is clear they care. They have opinions, but they won't approach you or share their feelings... they'll just go on their merry.

What's needed in tasks like these is confrontation (and I don't necessarily mean that in a negative way). If you confront others directly with your magically dressed self, you'll get plenty of response. You just can't expect them to share of their own accord. It ain't polite.
