Tight Pants Ban Takes Effect In Indonesia
During raids Thursday, Islamic police caught 18 women traveling on motorbikes who were wearing traditional headscarves but were also dressed in jeans. Each woman was given a long skirt and her pants were confiscated. They were released from police custody after giving their identities and receiving advice from Islamic preachers.
"I am not wearing sexy outfits, but they caught me like a terrorist only because of my jeans," said Imma, a 40-year-old housewife who uses only one name. She argued that wearing jeans is more comfortable when she travels by motorbike.
Motorbikes are commonly used by both men and women in Indonesia.
another pitcher of tea and one of lemonade. Made more cornbread and that finished off the cornmeal and the Tabasco Jalapeno sauce. I've got still more beans soaking and think I am going to make biscuits later. Right now though, a new chicken recipe to use up some vinegar..
I see what I think is geek sign, I reach out, and I'm left blinking. ISTG I'm not that geeky, and then I hear the stranger repeating back to me my JLA collection plan…but seriously, it isn't that radical. Plus, Green Lantern will be SPARKLY.
Did you confiscate the shirt?
I got back from my councellor(counseler? I can't spell this word) and drank a liter of water in about a minute. And it isn't even as hot as it was on Wednesday.
Did you confiscate the shirt?
Heh. If ita ran the Geek Squad, that's what they'd be doing.
In a world with more latitude (mine) I would have the shirt and my co-worker's Jayne hat held over until they demonstrated they deserved them back.

This is totally me! Then I realize that I'm not just geeky; I'm uber-geeky.

I am victorious. The big bottle of red wine vinegar is no more. Balsamic is almost gone as is the dried oregano. Shelves are really starting to look bare. good times.

It's happened to me
every
time I've reached out at the office. And I swear a) I'm not uber-geeky (HONEST) and b) I'm only doing easy stuff to people who looked the type.
At my previous jobs they petted my head and brought me gifts. Maybe I'm aging out of it, because now I just get blank looks.
