The Royal Ugly Dudes don't like it if you find Iron Maiden to be excellent.

Heh... Reminds me of the time when I was contracting for United Parcel Service (which has a rather strict dress code, even for their coders who never see the light of day) and I came in on Halloween wearing jeans and a Ministry "Jesus Built My Hotrod" tee shirt.

The hot-and-haughty girl from my floor dressed as a Disney princess asked what I was dressed as. I responded "a cranky contractor."

I wear my tour shirt from Vancouver at the office all the time. Fortune fifty company too.
But really I just want to csb that I saw Nicko walking the streets of downtown Vancouver and stalked him for seven or eight blocks trying to figure out. Way to buy him a beer that didnt sound all stalkery.
Now when I wear my Maiden shirt to my local big town hero sammich shop they give me straps cuz they are all up the irons too.
I hope they do the Maiden England tour next year like the rumors suggest...
Want to stalk Nicko again ;)
/saw Harris downtown too but he was with his family so we stayed clear.

To be fair, Iron Maiden is one of the best damn bands ever.

So you stalked him in order to figure out how to not seem like you were stalking him?

I just wear my loin cloth. It's part of my heritage. I wear animal skins too, as that is also part of my heritage. My lunch is a big partly cooked leg of some animal.

/But those people who wear torture emblems around their neck's... Are nasty filthy deviants of society.

"A Conservative MP and music fan was not able to completely fulfil on his pledge to his Hove constituents to wear his Iron Maiden T-shirt in the House of Commons."

I'm definitely not voting for him after this.

Speaking of Cradle of Filth (new window)

I'm a huge metalhead. My workplace has changed a lot since I first started working, but my first couple of years, it was awesome and I loved coming in to work every day. I knew it was going to be great when the guy that did my job interview came in wearing a Cannibal Corpse shirt.

He was one of those "lovable asshole" types. Sadly, he died in a car accident.

And yes, Maiden is one of the best bands ever and if you don't agree, you're a raging pussy.
 
2011-12-16 08:11:50 AM
Ya know what? I understand the concept of "dress for success" but I believe people should be allowed to wear whatever they are most productive in, unless it is a safety issue.

It's nice to have the Filth to come home to after another disappointing day.

Maybe he should try a Clash t-shirt instead?

He could have worn it under his shirt, tie and jacket. That would have met his promise to "wear it". Never said it would be visible.

Only if he stood up in the middle of the session and ripped his shirt open, Superman-style. That would be awesome.

My ass if he new the truth.

Arkanaut: Maybe he should try a Clash t-shirt instead?

Why would he want a Clash t-shirt from the era where they sold out and started writing pap like Train in Vain or utter crap like The Card Cheat? This kicks London Calling in the nuts and laughs about it:

Henry Holland: /Love The Clash, just think London Calling is WAY overrated

I still don't own a copy of it or know every song on it as well as my actual favorite albums. It is a bit overrated.

I just thought it appropriate given the events in London (and some other parts of the UK) over the summer.

When the TV cameras are rolling they make MPs of no particular importance sit behind the Front Bench looking busy. I would dearly love to see an MP in an Iron Maiden t-shirt behind the front bench, making the Sign of the Horns with both hands and sticking his tongue out or holding a sign up that reads "Hi, Mum!" or something.

What do you think? Photoshop contest?

Make my dream come true. Photoshop this Parliament.

Bonus points for making Cameron and his Caitiff Crew look Comical or Absurd.

I'll get right on it.

You're almost certainly right. There would have to be a lot more guys with knives in the Prime Minister's back.
