Happy International Women's Day!

Here are some flowers for the ladies around here:

[Opsa]

They're lovely, thank you!

Would you mind washing the dishes tonight? We, the women, are pooped.

[Aggie]

Heck, I'll even make dinner! 

(actually, I think I'll be picking up my somewhat tipsy international woman from the pub tonight... so I guess I'll just make my own dinner and do last night's dishes).

[goat starer]

Who are these 'happy international women'?

How did they get their own day?

Is this not discriminatory towards unhappy international women, happy local women, unhappy local women, and indeed neutral women of all geographies and possibly men?

[Opsa]

I think Unhappy Local Men Day is on Monday.

[beagle]

Yep. Every Monday. Unless an international woman drops in to cheer us up.

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

But sometimes the local woman makes the day even worse.



Especially, when she finds out about the international woman that dropped in to cheer you up.

[Aggie]

I'd have quite the opposite problem!

[Griffin NoName]

How does one find out if one is an International woman?

[Aggie]

The sure test is to do something naughty...  if they deport you, then you qualify. 

Oh, forgot that you are in the UK... this won't work.

[goat starer]

I found out that I was definately not an international woman by taking my trousers off 

[Aggie]

We really need to set an official Toadfish International No Pants Day.

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

Which date would be suitable?

I think it should be during Summer of course.

[Aggie]

Provided it's warm enough for the Antipodeans.. but it should be.

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

What about July?

Why not make it a whole No Pants month?

[Opsa]

We may have to make a seperate Toadfish no-Pants Day for the southern hemispherians. July's got to be mid-winter for them. Still, they're a pretty tough bunch.

[Aggie]

Ach, we've been pre-empted!

And they even had pirates taking part in it.

Well, we have two choices now; either get along with the date they have set up, or make up our own "Toadfish No Pants Day".

[Aggie]

May's not bad (fall in Oz, better than picking a total summer/winter date)....  to encourage wider participation, though, I'd like to see kilts included, plus skirts and shorts - shorter is better!  Also, even though it's not as funny (esp. for students) moving it to a Saturday would help a bit.

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

We should make our own line of shorts and underwear for that day.

With toadies and pirates on it.


(What's wrong with Friday as the No Pants Day? I don't care for the day, I can even go with Monday if necessaery. And I'll need to get myself a kilt)

EDIT: I have found quite nice skirts for men on-line, but they're way to expensive (200 CHF and above) 

[Aggie]

I guess it's just because the weekend is my traditional 'no pants time'.

Based on this morning, maybe we should schedule a 'Naked Salsa Day' on a Friday. 

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

I guess you'll just have to extend your no pants weekend by one day.

And I don't even want to know about the "Naked Salsa Day", the pictures I got when reading it are horrible (and they don't want to leave).

Btw, I was reading about the No Pants Day on wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Pants_Day) and it seem that skirts and kilts are not welcome:

In addition to pants, the wearing of other conventional leg coverings, such as skirts and dresses, shorts, and kilts is also discouraged.

[Aggie]

Yes, that's one item I have issue with, mostly from the perspective of actually getting people to participate.  There are a limited number of folks that will wear their underwear about....

I forgot that the University of Calgary has a rough equivalent... Bermuda Shorts Day, which is BIG 'round these parts (mostly Uni kids, though).  It's the last day of classes every year in April...

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

Let's have a "No Pants, But You Can Wear Skirts Day" then...

Or "No Pants, Just Skirts Day".

Although people are still a lot homophobic in these parts and me wearing a skirt might be misunderstood.

[Opsa]

Naked Salsa Day sounds dangerous. You don't want to get any Salsa on your ...erm... tamale. That would really smart. Then what would you do? No margarita's gonna help that.

[Aggie]

Oh, I was talking about dancing, not food!

Just to clear that up.

[Opsa]

Naked Salsa dancing may be even more dangerous that getting hot sauce on your what-not.

[Sibling Chatty]

No Pants Day had better allow nightgowns...

If all goes right, I will be recuperating from my clinical trial, and will be hanging about in my nightgown a LOT.

Ummm, sorta like I do now.

(Shorts, gotta be able to wear shorts, bike shorts or boxers!)

[Griffin NoName]

Hmmm shorts huh! Was going to suggest a baby doll nightie but couldn't actually visualise you in one !!!!

[The Meromorph]

All I have to say about that is...

Depp.

[Griffin NoName]

Yes, where IS Teripie?
