Title: Lei'd
Post by: dazie on December 09, 2006, 04:41:01 PM
Tim has a formal tonight, and we were not thinking far enough ahead so we didn't order a corsage for his date.  Then we thought "OO!  He should give her a lei!"  (He's wearing a "formal" Hawaiian shirt with black slacks)

Do you know that it is impossible to find a real flower lei in Lawrence Kansas?

So I made one.  :)  It's hot pink and white, with rose leaves between the flowers.  I got the leaves for free, which was a bonus, and the flowers cost $12.  I think all told it cost about the same as a corsage would have, and I can guarantee she'll be the only one there with one!

Yeah.  She was going blind there for a bit, but she's ok now.

Woop!  The date dug the lei.

Tim has absconded with my camera, so I'll post pics later.

For a minute I thought that was his date.  Was her hair always that short?

No.  She got it cut short early this year. 

Well, the lei was the hit of the dance.  Evidently I'll be asked to make more for the next one.  *lol*

I'm not sure why Tim is doing the Frankenstein thing, but they're having fun.

Size 13 so far...  But narrow.  He's got freaking skis for feet.

maybe it was sprayed with pheromones!!!


you would get this is you saw Snakes on a Plane, however none of you actually SAW SOAP, because while it seems it is cool to talk about seeing Samual L. Jackson battle reptiles in an aircraft, it isn't cool to actually SEE Samual L. Jackson taser his forked tongue foe in a flying apparatus

Interesting.  I was talking about the dance with a woman at work and you'd have thought Tim wore a thong speedo to the dance and gave his date a necklace of live snakes.  "Well, all the OTHER boys were in TUXEDOS!"  and there was kind of a sniff at the lei picture.

Um, no, not all the other boys were in tuxedos.  I have photographic proof if she wants it, but I don't really care.  Tim looked nice, his date was pleased with the lei, and anyone who wants to play dress code police can just stuff it.

Does she own the tux rental business in town?

No.  She works here and raises pigs on the side.

Do her pigs wear tuxedos?
Title: Re: Lei'd
Post by: dazie on December 11, 2006, 02:36:31 PM
Not that I know of.

Much of one of her pigs is in my freezer at the moment.

She sounds like a bitch.

My dad wrote a song for us when we were kids called Take Your Pig to Lunch. 

Take your pig to lunch, take your piggg to lunch.  Dress him up in his best tuxedo, and take your pig to lunch.

She can be unpleasant at times.

I think she might have been out of sorts because she'd gone to the dentist this morning.

Oh, and I don't think her daughter went to the dance.

Ursus pointed out something...  Tim WAS dressed formally.  Shoes & socks, plus the kukui nut lei he wore is considered to be a "fancy tie" in the Hawaiian culture!
