SpecTACKular

Brent and I agree on most things. The exceptions tend to be things like Alison Krauss … and Hawaiian shirts. I don't care for either one.

There's something about Hawaiian shirts that just buries the needle in my "tacky-o-meter". Don't get me wrong. There are times and places for most things. Hawaiian shirts are fine – if you're Hawkeye Pierce. If you're not physically "wasting away in Margaritaville" you shouldn't wear Hawaiian shirts. And oh, wait… we don't drink so Brent will never be in that situation.

Maybe it's because he's colorblind. He tends to like things with high visual-contrast because he doesn't see colors the same way most people do. He likes inlaid wood designs with light and dark woods. He likes to paint the walls in our house different colors.

But I've got to draw the line at Hawaiian shirts.

I am with you on this one. The Hawaiian shirt is like the vacationers camo. Tourists wear it to fit in, but it really makes them stand out. Sorry Bret, the Hawaiian shirt may feel like the hip choice, but it actually is not. Try going with something a little more subtle like a rain jacket equipped with Hawaiian lining! Now that is fly!
