I changed into it during lunch break and wore it to my afternoon classes. Stired up quite a bit of controversy, the reaction wasn't quite as bad as I expected, although I suppose a good number of people wouldn't mind hurting me now, I really expected it to be a lot worse. :rolleyes:

Did you shave the hair off your legs too? :-p
 
No I didn't I realized that after I'd put it on. :-p
 
:eek: :smile: no
 
Does this mean you're coming out of the closet, or that you lost a bet? :-p
 
Neither, I was making a fashion statement/rebellion against the status quo/judging peoples reaction/ect.
 
takes more than a dress to stir up a reaction.
I went to the store the other night in my pajama bottoms. I had shoes socks and a shirt on. It was raining and I ran from the truck to the store and my penis popped out the slit in the front of the pjs. It dragged in the puddles, then I tripped over it and... okay that's not true, I did pop out though. the official walmart greeter saw a bit more than she was expecting, but I was able to cover up and reinsert myself quickly. Should have bought underwear while I was there.
 
lmao tribdog, you're stealing my thunder!

Sorry to inform you, but wearing PJ bottoms is already out of style. That was in a few years ago. Though, I only saw college women wearing them, not men, so I'm not sure if the fly is supposed to get sewn shut first. Can't be any worse than the kids with the pants around their knees and their boxers showing.

If you want to do that, wear a suit and tie. A dress just isn't going to cut it to get a reaction on a college campus anymore. :smile:

And did wearing the suit get a bigger reaction?

umm.. Smurfy.. that sounds kinda dangerous. :frown: I am very familiar with redneck high schools. You be careful, ok?

Smurf, you do know that you are gay don't you? I'm not saying there is anything wrong with being gay, but don't kid yourself into believing you wore a dress for any reason other than because you wanted to look pretty.

Oh, now I get it! You were just looking for an excuse to use the nunchucks on a redneck! :smile:

1.)you are allowed to carry concealed weapons in your school?
2.)I would never fight you, I like you, but if we were to fight I would have your butt kicked while you were still trying to unzip your backpack. nunchucks out of reach are nonechucks.
3.) I love that shade of nail polish you are wearing, what's it called?

Did it involve wearing a dress and dirtsurfing while eating hotdogs in Tennessee?

1 + 2: When I said "in" I should've said "attached to", it's not zipped up, if I need them I can just reach around and yank them out, it's not concealed either and I've brought them to school on 4 or 5 occasions and never had any trouble with them before, so as long as I don't attack people with them...
It's mainly a deterant :cool:

3: You mean black? do you want some?

I saw a thin wasted guy with long hair and black nail polish wearing a long black laced dress with platform shoes a couple of days ago in the subway. So that was you Smurfee :eek: :-p .

I think you're learning that a lot of men get uncomfortably hot at the sight/thought of bloke in a dress. Then they have to figure out whether their raised heart rate signals fear, hate, or excitement. I would guess that most hillbillies will go for option 2 in front of their buddies, and options 1&3 over dinner. Anyway, Valentines Day is coming soon, which might be interesting this year. :biggrin:

What did you wear today, smurf? (In addition to your strategically placed nunchucks, which I find go well with any ensemble, but are very well suited to chiffon jumpers and patton leather pumps.) :biggrin:
 
  • #34
If you really want to shock, you could go naked except for the nunchucks.

First of all, no one in their right mind would mess with a naked guy with nunchucks.

Second, think of the comments you might get, such as "Hey look at the guy with three nunchucks!...oops my mistake, only two." :biggrin:

Black Jeans, black shirt, brown leather jacket, steel-toed nazi-like boots that I borrowed from my sister (she's "punk" :smile: ), and I hung the chucks from my belt instead with this sort of L shaped clip thing I found in my closet - No Idea what its off of.

Overall I thought I looked quite tough.

I plan on going in full camo gear first day of the second semester. Not as much 'shock' value, but I already have everything.

My self esteem's not quite up for that yet, it's a big school. Besides they'd probably force me to put on some clothes.

Where the heck do you go to school? Columbine? Try assimilating, it's so much nicer to fit in than to go for shocks.

I never thought much of assimilating. Being yourself is good, though being a different person every day is a bit extreme. Smurf, you might want to pick one "look" and just stick with it. It will save you the trouble of having to meet with the school psychologist when the teachers start calling your parents about your sudden changes in behavior patterns. :biggrin:

I say assimilate. Nothing wrong with being normal. I'm not saying you shouldn't do what you believe in, but c'mon, a dress? How could you possibly have benefitted from wearing a dress to school? If you did it simply to annoy everyone that makes you an a-hole. If you did it to prove a point what was that point and did you gain anything? I've done tons of crazy things, but there was usually a benefit of some sort as a result (or I thought there would be a benefit). I just don't see how you could benefit from wearing a dress or from carrying nunchucks to school. When I was in school either one of those actions would result in you being labeled a loser. I'm sure you don't care what you are called, and don't care what people say, but if you don't care why dress up in the first place.

You're starting to sound like a grown-up! OMG! What have I done? I think I've ruined you. :frown:

OMG, what the hell's happening to me? Get this thing out of my butt. I've got to go do something young and idiotic. Hey, don't throw that electroejaculator away. I'll do it. just set it down over there.

Nothing could be more against my beliefs
Nothing wrong with being normal.
When were you in high school tribdog? Just for my own curiosity so I can get a general feel for what experiences your relating to. It's impossible for me to respond to this without knowing what angle your coming from.
How could you possibly have benefitted from wearing a dress to school?
I've learned a lot about people from this experience, it's amazing how different people react when confronted with something like this.
When I was in school either one of those actions would result in you being labeled a loser. I'm sure you don't care what you are called, and don't care what people say, but if you don't care why dress up in the first place.
Actually the in word today isn't "loser" anymore, but "fag". No, I don't care what those stupid rednecks think of me, but there have been many positive aspects to this, for example I can easily tell the people who I would get along with now because they're the only one's who will still talk to me :smile:
And before you ask, yes, one of my friends pretended she didn't know me that day.

Smurf, tribdog was in school a LONG time ago. Oh crud, I just checked your profile...I think he graduated high school the year you were born! You can safely ignore his advice, he's being an old person tonight. I think I went too far with my experiments. We're working on an antidote. :smile:

Does that mean fixed (like when broken).. or "fixed"?
As in "de-gendered".
