A moment of silence?

Post by SummerByTheLakeside »

Alfred Shaheen, who upgraded and helped to popularize the Hawaiian shirt, has died at the age of 86.
Although the company is defunct, vintage Shaheen shirts can sell for $1,000 or more, said David Bailey of Bailey's Antiques and Aloha Shirts in Honolulu, a well-known emporium that stocks about 15,000 aloha shirts.

As Arthur, the textile professor explained, a Shaheen garment "is like a piece of moving art."
Damn. That's an expensive shirt. :o

I would never wear it.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.
