Why Are Plaid Shorts So Popular?

I guess plaid is a new fad. It is really cute, & it helps that every store sells them. Also, if you wear solid colors a lot, they are a great way to spice up your wardrobe. And between 10- 30 dollars, they are a good investment. It also helps that they have many sizes & colors & lengths available. If people want the latest trend, everyone can have them, you don’t need to be a size 0 to fit.!

“Ach, it’s all going like magic,” says Jock. “I’ve got everything organised already – the flowers, the church, the cars,

Archie nods approvingly.
“Man, I’ve even bought a kilt to be married in!” continues Jock.
“A kilt?” exclaims Archie. “That’s grand, you’ll look pure smart in that! And what’s the tartan?”
“Oh,” says Jock, “I’d imagine she’ll be in white.”

The Typical Stereotype Of A Father?

A man who likes watching too much football, beats his wife & kids.
The kids therefore scream for Mummy when Daddy hits them.
He eats the most & is extremely strong, strong enough to bend bars of steel.
He thumps the stairs when he walks & he is so heavy that he caused his wife to roll off the bed due to the displacement.
He forces his children to eat dinner, & they cannot leave the table until they do, even if it means starving to death.
They have to go to bed at 5pm & not get up until 10am.
They have to do all the house work for Daddy, otherwise he will get out his ‘black & decker’ electric drill & drill a hole in their heads if they don’t.
This is in a house with 70’s wall paper, an avocado bathroom & the smell of roast dinner that isn’t cooked very well all the time.
The kitchen utensils smell of chip fat due to not being washed up for so long, & the tray in the oven has to be cleaned with an orbital sander.
They continuously do bodge up DIY jobs & the children have to help or they are sent to bed for a month, & grounded for a year.
Daddy also wears an old fashioned jumper with diamond patterns on them, with tweed trousers & a white tartan type shirt that men in their 50’s usually wear.
He walks around with a crow bar & threatens the kids with it & drink larger all day.
The garden is a tip & you all live on a counsel estate, & the wife is threatening to put her husband on ‘Jerry Springer’ because he beat her until both her arms were broken.
Is that like your Daddy?

Charlie Brown Dress?

Hi, I found this Charlie Brown dress in the DFO in Essendon VIC but it was one size too small for me. The tag read “Lt. Commander Andrew Charlie” or something like that. It was a thick material with a tartan/plaid pattern in browns & golds, the neck was high & the hemline was slightly asymmetrical, falling just past the knee. Sleeveless. Anyone know where I can find one of these again in sz 12? Sorry, I don’t know which collection it is from. Any info at all would be appreciated. I have contacted Charlie Brown designs but nobody ever replies!! Please help. Thanks.

Obama Staff Says, “we Need More White People!!” Why?

According to the report, Michelle Obama was at a rally & the staff for Barack Obama was asking for more white people during the event….
Why did they want more white people?
Here’s what the article says in short:
The Tartan’s correspondents observed one event coordinator say to another, “Get me more white people, we need more white people.” To an Asian girl sitting in the back row, one coordinator said, “We’re moving you, sorry. It’s going to look so pretty, though.”
“I didn’t know they would say, ‘We need a white person here,’?” said attendee & senior psychology major Shayna Watson, who sat in the crowd behind Mrs. Obama. “I understood they would want a show of diversity, but to pick up people & to reseat them, I didn’t know it would be so outright.”http://www.thetartan.org/20
