Not a problem. Under my plan, you'd be specifically targetting strangers... Plenty of them wear underwear. (At least, I've rarely been disappointed...)

Originally it did catch my interest, but I hung around a moment to see if they'd tackle him, but alas, as soon as he got near Dennys, it was over. Another day in the Matican. I wasn't looking for a pretense to smear the church, although I'd jump if the opportunity arouse.
The pink shirt comment. Friend of mine filmed his two male friends who were wearing pink shirts. They were walking around holding hands on the Main Street Plaza (owned by the Morg). Neither were gay, it was simply for fun. It was great to see all of the looks. There were no less than six men in black who were shadowing them, at a distance. Hence my pink shirt statement and my MIB references.
Were you not looking for the least pretense to smear the Church, then it is unlikely that you would have posted this thread, and even less likely that you would have posted it by characterized the Church in such a demeaning and cartoonish way. Be honest with yourself. Your slip (of religious prejudice) is showing--pink or otherwise. ;-)
Thanks, -Wade Englund-
Yes, I walk around the Matican each day hoping to find something that I can smear the LDS Corporation with.
And in five years I haven't found it yet.
Wait, I saw a crack in the 12+ foot wall somewhere!

Saturday I took a break and walked down to temple square from the U. Actually, I was on a mission for a Pineapple Rum bar from Backer's Bakery on South Temple and the sugar rush just propelled me onward ; ). I passed a lively wedding in progress at the Cathedral of the Madeline and was pleased to find another wedding in progress when I got to the Square. What a contrast! And before anybody thinks I'm anti-mormon or anything, I'm not saying it was a bad contrast, just a stark one.
I don't think I've ever been strolling through the square and seen people, well a family posse of about 50 people, frolicking right up next to the temple! Kids running riot around the sacred edifice! Infants bawling! Old folks a-sitting on benches! Looking through the bars at this sight is the closest I'll ever get.
I admit it roused my mischievious nature and I so wanted to yell...something. But what? "Shop at Hendrickson's Home Plus?" "Adam is God?" "Strangites Rule?"
My insulin levels must have subsided because the only actions I took were snapping a photo for some asian tourists and handing a few dollars to some homeless people...
Well, next time you're down there, gimme a ring and we'll have lunch. Even though the great Corporation in the sky has demolished all of the prime eateries, there is still Gandolfos, Pier 49, or even a couple of pubs where you can get a tasty beer and some fish & chips. Just let me know.

He was screaming across the street at a man in black, wearing a black suit with an ear piece. I recognized him immediately as Morg security. These guys are everywhere around the Matican - dark suits, smug faces, cop haircuts. Then I noticed there were five following him, two on the corner, and five more walking down the side towards me. Coming out of the West entrance of the Matican were three more.
So as I passed them I sung aloud, "Here come the men in black ..."
The man was obviously distressed, screaming "Quit your G&*D lying!". I think they were waiting for him to step foot off the sidewalk and onto Corporate property, where they could then promptly detain him. Perhaps even try and excise the demons out of him, who knows.
I've never seen so many at the same time, except that one time I was in a pink shirt holding hands with my friend walking across the Main Street Plaza. /smirk

Forgive Englund for he has no clue: if you look at Infymus's face it's pink. If he had a rusty brown suit and a tie to match his eyes then he would be set.
Yes...and a flowery lavendor parasol and mauve purse would no doubt compliment that ensemble as well. ;-)
Thanks, -Wade Englund-
actually a brown leather bag wouldn't be so bad. A brown parasol and some sunblock would be a good thought to block the rays from Kolob.

Perhaps your right...though the heat from the rays in that outfit may make him sweat a river--like the one in Lehi's dream.
Anyway, as long as the suit is double knit, and the tie is wide, he might fit quite well, sans excessories, in a remake of Hee Haw.
