I was on a train coming from Long Island into NYC. I was wearing a BLACK FLAG T-shirt and a very large knife strapped to my leg right above my right boot.  It wasn't hidden, either. I wore it on the outside of the pants I was wearing. It was one of them things with the compass on the handle. I bought it in Michigan at a flea market. I was real f**king paranoid because I got in so many fights on LI. Nobody even looked at me twice. I felt real dumb after I got to Port Authority...I took it off. I stuck it in my duffel bag.

You have to understand the state of mind I was in at the time. I was p**sed at the world, listening to speed metal and punk rock. I was not drinking or smoking a lot at all. Oh, I drank if I had money. I never smoked pot or did any other drugs.

Well- ever wore anything stupid in public?

In college a couple of times I pierced my ear with a thumbtack and walked around with it, leaving the blood trickles.

I also once stuffed a banana in my pants, went to a dance, and walked around saying "ich haben ein grossen banana!"

Alcohol was involved in these choices.

Oh cheez and crackers!  That doesn't quite sound like the stupidest thing you wore in public as the stupidest thing you DID in public.   :thumbup: :teddyr:

I used to have this pair of golf shorts that I swear were made of flannel - and they were pink, turquoise, and black PLAID!
I would put them on, along with a bright yellow, orange, and green flowered Hawaiian shirt, black sneakers, and white socks, then head out the door to go to class.  My wife usually tackled me and made me change, but once or twice I got past her and wore them on campus.


Good times . .  .

Not even close to the stupidest thing I DID in public.  :wink:

I once wore a "f**k the IRA" tee-shirt to a Celtic pub in Glasgow.

Back in the 1980s, I wore pants like these in public a few times. I had 2 pair: one was black and purple and the other was black and bright orange. What the hell was I thinking?

^ Wow. Just...just...wow.  :buggedout:

When I was about 11, I had a pair of these... I may have wore them once or twice. I HATED them.

The summer I was eleven and my cousin just got her license, she took me to Spencer's with her and picked up a t-shirt and went, "This would be so cute on you!"

I believed everything she told me, so when she bought me the shirt and said to put it on in the restroom, I did, and we walked around the mall all morning and later as we were driving over to see her friends she said, "Be sure everybody sees your new shirt."

Well that made me feel important!

So we got over to her friends' and she kept drawing attention to my shirt and some would look at it and roll their eyes or snicker, I noticed, and some really laughed hard, so after a while I demanded, "What?"

"Oh, nothing," people there would say, just before laughing some more.

"Don't pay any attention to them," my cousin said, "it looks great on you, El."

Now, I may have been slow out of the gate but I started clueing-in to the fact there was something about the shirt I wasn't getting though I couldn't put my finger on exactly what since it was just a plain white tee with a cartoonish bikini-clad great horned owl on it, with the seemingly silly caption "I'm Hornier Than A Hoot Owl!"

Yeah, I spent half the day around town wearing that shirt before someone took mercy on me and explained it.

When I was about 19 or so, my friend's boyfriend (now husband) worked at a super hip record store next to a mall.  I thought it would be hilarious if we went to the mall and bought some bargain bras and undies from Victoria's Secret and wore them OUTSIDE of our clothes and went into the record store to ask to meet him.  She got a hot pink bra and I think polkadot undies and I don't remember the bra I had but I remember I had underpants that said "Hug Me" in rhinestones.  It was cold so we wore them on the outside of our coats which I thought was even funnier.  We giggled all the way to the store thinking it was going to be the most epic prank ever.  We proudly paraded around and asked other employees to fetch her boyfriend.  He was neither embarrassed nor amused, he just acted like he didn't notice.  No one really cared.  I don't know what's wrong with people!  That should have been a hoot!

I had on a t-shirt when I walked into court-drunk too- for public intoxication. The shirt had a picture of Charlie Mason on the front that said, "Remember kids, Charlie Loves you!" On the back it said " A role model for today's youth".
I spent 30 days. Gee, su-prize su-prize, suprize!
