Those of you with small, nimble hands will be on dashiki weaving duty for the Glorious Revolution.

I challenge my fellow Pandagonians to speed dashiki production fivefold!!
My little brother (well, the tiny tot below turned 40 this year) can now hand his threads down to his new son.

You laugh now, but you won’t be laughing when you and your fellow suburbanites are displaced under Kelo to make room for 40 acre farmettes. But, people can profit from the forthcoming long-delayed push for reparations by entering the fast-paced, exciting world of mule breeding.
Okay, not a Dashiki, but we’re getting in the spirit anyway.
What? Pam started it with the baby pictures.
If I choose not to wear the dashiki, will I be forced to wear a white square on my clothes identifying me as unrepentant? Or will I have to wear the dashiki AND the white square?...

Actually, Rust Belt cities like Youngstown and Pittsburgh are finding that tearing up the old abandoned suburbs and neighborhoods and planting community gardens is a winning strategy. Pittsburgh in particular is hepped on reclaiming brownfields by growing non-food biofuel plants like sunflowers on them; the plants leach the industrial pollution from the soil, trap CO2, and can be used as fuel. Win-win-win.
Can I wear a dashiki and a kaffiyeh at the same time, or do they clash? How about a Nehru jacket? Mao collar? If I dye them all commie pinko, does that cancel out any pattern clash?
I want to be stylish for the revolution.
There’s no sense in having a revolution if you cannot be stylish as well.
Personally in honor of our new Terrorist Appeasing overlords, I have chosen to wear a Pakistani Salwar Kameez to work today.
I’m actually not joking.
Well, I mean aside from all that stuff about the terrorist-appeasing.I really am wearing a Salwar Kameez today.
Jesse, I have to say that I’m thrilled that you’re back.
I also have to say that honestly, I didn’t remember you having such mad skillz at slinging teh funny.
Amanda, Pam, Auguste, Michael and the return of Jesse: *DREAM TEAM*, I sez!!!
But who’s that “Admin” guy???
Oh, dear. I’m not worried about having to wear dashikis, but dear sweet ghu, I just realized that the next President of the United States (I hope) will be 10 years younger than I am. I need to go lie down for a while.
MKK—tottering off leaning heavily on cane
Since I started the baby picture dashiki theme, here is my new nephew who will inherit the dashiki. And to be fair to my brother, he’s aged a bit since that first pic upthread.

Oh, these kids today—they simply have no respect for the classics. Captain Goto, I bring you this gem from way back in 2002, courtesy of the Wayback Machine. To this day, some people consider it the funniest thing ever written on the Intertubes.
As a white male of working age, and a newly minted second-class citizen, I have a question: will I be sent out into the fields to pick cotton before the reparations/reeducation camp, or after? And will they send someone around to collect me, or am I responsible for my own transportation?
And will they send someone around to collect me, or am I responsible for my own transportation?
We will send nice eco-friendly biofueled buses to pick you up that run on the hour.
Dr. B., I thank you.
Not for the way-back machine link, high-larious as it was.
Rather, for “these kids today”...granted, when ‘Tupac Noonan’ published that particular joint, I was actually still in grad school. But I’ll bet a few quatloos that between the two of us, ‘kid’ is closer to the truth for thee than for me.
Not that it ain’t a stretch in either case, mind’ja…
Opoponax: that’s pretty goddamn cool. If i was a woman i would so wear that.
That’s the first dashiki joke I’ve heard made. How weird is that? In any case, it’s money. Welcome back.
