A little something different for a (hopefully) lazy Sunday morning. Possibly a regular Sunday feature – Your Weekly Question Of The Week, in which I’ll pose Your Weekly Question Of The Week Question. I’ll throw out a question for you to mull about, and then maybe you leave your thoughts. We share, we laugh, we grow.
Sounds good? Let’s give it a go.
Your Weekly Question of the Week Question for the Week: You meet someone for a first date. What item of clothing are most hoping they’re not wearing?
"Well met, fair lady! Art thou prepared to sup at PF Changs with me this fine e'en?"

Underwear!

I should expand on that one. A decade ago when I worked for the State AG’s office we had some server problems so there was myself as I.T. Director, my networking guy, and my web developer doing our best to resolve the issues with a clunky web server.
I don’t know how it came up, probably my network guy. But mention was made that the person was going commando that day, to which both I and my web devel also echoed that we too were going commando.

Probably wise to clarify that answer.
November 15, 2011 at 6:49 pm
Yes I should also elaborate, that my network guy was male, my web devel was female. It was a pretty funny moment.

How about: hockey gear…
November 14, 2011 at 5:25 am
I’d pretty much go with “a hockey mask” myself!
But not, y’know, actually go wearing one myself. Not for my dates, anyway . . .
November 14, 2011 at 6:06 am
Between you and Brain Rants, hockey players have it tough out there! Them and Jason Voorhees.

An Iron Maiden t-shirt. Or an Iron Maiden. Camo complete with actual leaves and face paint. a beer bong, or a “Rick Perry 2012” campaign button.
November 13, 2011 at 7:58 pm
The t-shirt would be concerning. The actual Iron Maiden would be downright alarming. Impressive, but alarming.
November 13, 2011 at 12:51 pm
A dickey. (Think Howard Wolowitz on Big Bang Theory)
November 13, 2011 at 1:42 pm
Handcuffs or an electronic tether.
November 13, 2011 at 1:48 pm
A “Who Farted?” t-shirt.
November 13, 2011 at 7:59 pm
The “I Farted, That’s Who” shirt. Better, or worse?
November 13, 2011 at 3:51 pm
Well, I have a number of items. In no particular order:
1. White socks
2. A wedding ring
3. A tee with the words “I’m with stupid”
4. A kilt (do you know what they are not wearing under that thing?)
5. Crocs
November 13, 2011 at 5:49 pm
A mullet or rat’s tail. Or yesterday’s lunch.
November 13, 2011 at 6:29 pm
A pinky ring.
November 14, 2011 at 5:03 am
Easy. Big, white sneakers (specifically New Balance, Reebok etc.). I fricken hate them.
November 14, 2011 at 6:04 am
Jerry Seinfeld will be crushed.
November 14, 2011 at 9:45 am
Depends
November 14, 2011 at 3:37 pm
My first thought in response to this question was, “I don’t think I care what they’re wearing or not wearing, as long as they don’t use the word panties.”
My second thought? “Leather chaps. Definitely no leather chaps.”
November 14, 2011 at 4:21 pm
What is it about the word “panties” that just sounds perverse? LIke just saying it in earnest means you shouldn’t be allowed within 1000 feet of a grade school.

Headgear that accompanies braces. There would be NO WAY I would be able to focus on anything he was saying. I would be too worried that his face would conduct some sort of lightning storm.
November 15, 2011 at 7:10 pm
I’d just keep thinking of Joan Cusack in 16 Candles. The date would wonder why I just keep bringing up John Hughes movies.
November 16, 2011 at 2:47 pm
A wedding ring. D’oh!
A toupee. Own the bladness!
Flip flops.
November 16, 2011 at 2:47 pm
That would be ‘baldness’.
November 17, 2011 at 6:15 am
I assumed. Though “Blandness” or “Badness” would have worked surprisingly well, too!
