I see the dupe.....

The band teacher -in her wisdom- has decided the band needs a "more professional" look, and so has decreed they must all get black long-sleeved dress shirts in time for the concert in two weeks.

1) It's mid year. We all already purchased white dress shirts because that was the uniform and there has been one concert already.....

2) Long-sleeved black dress shirts are considered Winter Wear and as it's March, nobody has them in stock. Unless you are tiny or huge -and then there are some great deals to be had. Even the second hand stores are selling off long-sleeved stuff and have only toddler and 3XL sizes. With stains.

3) it's March. Every single sport and academic activity has state championships etc right now. Who has the time to hunt down a cheap black shirt and who wants to pay big $ for a shirt that will be worn once for a 7/8th grade band concert?

But yeah, they have to find someplace else to go before they can be thrown out, for the kids at least.

JFC! Apparently we do live in a different universe down here. Shit, down here the evicting landlord could probably just shoot the unpaid tenants as squatters and have a good case defending himself.

Could you dye the white ones black?

I have a few items to put in that thread. Lemme know if you find it there in HLJ's list.

HungLikeJesus · 03-07-2012, 09:29 PM

That's what I was thinking - just use black bleach.

ZenGum · 03-07-2012, 10:18 PM

Bleach the kids, so the shirts look black.

I could, but I fear the outcome...... Even "100% cotton shirts" often used polycotton or poly thread for the buttonholes. And the buttons don't dye. And i damn well shouldn't have to.....

I think we should petition UT to make a new sub forum between nothingland and Home base for all the What...? threads.

monster · 03-08-2012, 11:56 AM

you could have the photo comp forum......

HungLikeJesus · 03-08-2012, 12:36 PM

You cannot petition the lord with prayer!

footfootfoot · 03-08-2012, 04:35 PM

How about sanctuary? can you give me some of that?

HungLikeJesus · 03-08-2012, 05:58 PM

To summarize, we need sub forums for: driving, maths and "What's ... you today?"

How much is all this going to cost, and is HQ going to fund it?

infinite monkey · 03-08-2012, 06:03 PM

Headquarters, or henry quirk?
