    What's your 'national dress'?

    Some (high school) students today asked me why I never wear my 'national dress' to work. Students and teachers typically wear traditional clothing on Fridays and it's quite a nice change of pace, actually.


    I responded that I did, nearly every day...pressed shirt and trousers, necktie, belt and dress shoes. They said nope, too generic. I asked what I should wear instead to be more representative of the USA, and the answers were quite humorous: cowboy, cheerleader, astronaut, basketball player, soldier, rapper, etc.


    It got me thinking, what the hell is my 'national dress' anyway?


    wife beater and jeans with a backwards baseball cap...?


    cowboy, hipster, goth, prison inmate, biker gang, frat boy, mass murderer armed to the teeth...?


    People of Walmart...?


    fat suit...?


    I dunno.




    HOW ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY?

    Philippines: Tank-top, shorts, flip-flops, and sometimes a baseball cap - preferably with the logo of a US ship. That's for flips. For me, same minus ball cap.

    The best food I had in Manila was a place called 'Army-Navy' they sold heavy arse yanky food - burgers etc, the burritos were pretty good and they home delivered.

    I don't see how flippos can have their own dress when they don't even have their own identity.

    Those chicks are seriously beat. Is that the best your country has to offer?

    I'd hit the Scottish ones if they came as a package deal and all deep-throated...

    Yup, they've been up in dem pastures all summer eating good stuff. They are spoiled silly. But produce good milk, cheese and meat - so no compaints.

    British and American dress is the international dress.
    The rest of the world copied out attire , for both formal and casual ,and then have the cheek to say we haven't got any culture.

    will google some cow-pics from before the war... would be interesting to see, if they ever looked like their asian sorry-butt-counterparts...

    partially, i dont really understand the thing... as they eat grass and that is even in asian countries quite available... a european cow outweights 2 to 3 asian cows...
