Exclamation end of the hawaiin shirts?!?


No, dont worry, my dad will keep on wearing them. But it was a close call. He had been set up to be on the TLC show, What Not to Wear and had even been approved by the producers to be on. His so called friends and co-workers had gotten approval for it, but the producers pulled out of the DC trip and multiple DC shows at the last minute. If you havnt seen this show, they send fashion experts to evaluate your clothes, give you advice, throw away some of the clothes they dont approve of(hawai'in shirts and junky old t-shirts would definately have been lost), they give you $5000 to buy new clothes, and you get basically a make-over(end of "the hair"). Just thought the CD community might get a laugh out of this.

No way. Get out.

Well, he would be a good candadate, with the hair alone!

JUST KIDDING DAVE!!

I'd pee my pants if this is true.

NO WAY!

I watch that show all the time -- I would totally flip if I saw Dave on there!

I can picture myself sitting on the couch at home ...

Re: end of the hawaiin shirts?!?

I watch that show at times too. That would have been something to have seen him on that show. I'm sure they would have kept the "My other car is on Mars" shirt. There's no way they could replace that!

Re: end of the hawaiin shirts?!?

I think that TLC would be bombarded with so many angry letters and phone calls from FIRSTers, it'd be one of those banned episodes.

I wonder what their stance is on robotics shirts...

Re: end of the hawaiin shirts?!?

I like Dave.

I dislike how shows like that shove some homogenized idea of "style" and "fashion" down your throat.

If something like this were to happen, that is when you know the government has failed.

I would be extremely shocked if I saw those Hawaiian shirts go. *tear *

Re: end of the hawaiin shirts?!?

As long as there are Hawaiian shirts and Dave is breathing my guys will be outfitting him. I already have a Dave Lavery shirt ordered for this season.

And wouldn't it be neat if they went into Dave's closet, kept the hawaiian shirts and threw out the rest of his clothes?


Hawaiian shirts- Pele's gift to FIRST- and the official outfit of Raider Robotix Team 25

For a great source of Hawaiian Shirts see www.gorhc.com -Royal Hawaiian Creations, Honolulu, long time outfitter and friends of Team 25

Re: end of the hawaiin shirts?!?

Funny, but I always pictured Dave as being Queer Eye for the Straight Guy material... just kidding... probably...

I don't care enough about fashion to have ever thought about setting up a friend for a show like that, however I have seriously considered Scare Tactics...

Re: end of the hawaiin shirts?!?

I'd be upset if someone threw away my robotics shirts. Because then I'd have no shirts.

Re: end of the hawaiin shirts?!?

Great, now they are talking about my wardrobe...

Yes, it's true. I just found out yesterday that I was within about a week or so of being ambushed and forced to clean up my act on national television. My "friends" had worked it with the NASA powers-that-be, and they were all set to go when the production company waved off on thier trip to DC. Whew! Coming between me and my Hawaiian shirts would be like trying to get between Dean and denim.

But just to show they haven't got to me yet, I am wearing one of my favorites to work today (which can be verified on the Amazing DaveCam!). Just in case this is one of the last times I can get away with it, I figured I would make all my co-workers enjoy (suffer through?) the shirts as well!
