Green Shirt Thursdays
I don't remember if I ever made a thread about this or not, but GST is pretty awesome. And it's important to me. And I've managed to instill it in the minds of a few ScumChatters, but I found out today that depressingly few of them uphold the tradition.
Anyway, GST was a tradition started by a handful of St. Louis University High cross-country (SLUH XC) guys back in 2001. For nearly seven years, they've been wearing Green Shirt Thursdays mostly for its own sake. When these students graduated from high school, they took the tradition with them to college, and at UD one such student got.... nearly a hundred of us, I'd say... involved in GST. We even had shirts made and everything. And to this day most of us still uphold the tradition. We spread it around, too... I got everybody at my old coffee shop to wear Green Shirts on Thursdays, and I would tell customers about it when they saw my GST shirt and asked.
You can learn more about GST by checking out this website (which also has archives of weekly GST messages sent by JMK to everyone he knew via AIM): http://greenshirtthursdays.blogspot.com/
So, um, yeah. Wear Green Shirts each and every Thursday. They give you awesome superpowers, incredibly good luck, and they just might save the world someday. You never know.Last edited by Glork on Thu Feb 28, 2008 9:10 am, edited 3 times in total.- Thestatusquo

If there is a medium, hit me up.
Also I wrote a song. To the tune only of Friday I'm in love.
Code: Select all
I don't care if Sunday's blue Monday's grey and Tuesday too Wednesday I don't care about you It's Thursday, I'm in green Sunday you can fall apart Monday, Tuesday break my heart Oh, Wednesday doesn't even start It's Friday I'm in green Saturday, wait And Sunday always comes too late But Thursday, never hesitate... I don't care if Sundays black Monday, Tuesday - heart attack Wednesday, never looking back It's Friday, I'm in green Sunday, you can hold your head Monday, Tuesday stay in bed Or Wednesday - watch the walls instead It's Thursday, I'm in green Saturday, wait And Sunday always comes too late But Thursday, never hesitate... Dressed up to the eyes It's a wonderful surprise To see your shoes and your spirits rise Throwing out your frown And just smiling at the sound And as sleek as a shriek Spinning round and round Always take a big bite It's such a gorgeous sight To see you eat in the middle of the night You can never get enough Enough of this stuff Cuz Thursday, I'm in green

Now, when you say "green shirt", what does that mean, specifically. In the UK, "shirt" implies starched collar, button-down, cotton or linen; male office wear. If, on the other hand, you mean "top" by shirt, I have green tops I could wear on Thursdays; t-shirts, cowl-neck jerseys, a cardigan...
Would that be acceptable, must it fit into "t-shirt, shirt or blouse" or must it be full-on button-down collar whole nine yardsy?- Thestatusquo

There's, of course, many different subcategories, such as t-shirt, Polo, turtleneck, etc., but they're all just shirts. Things that you wear over your shirt, like a jacket, aren't a shirt, but things that you wear over an undershirt (another type of shirt!) are shirts.- PokerFace

I'm like Rogueban, I own alot of green as it is. And IIRC i did where green yesterday. If I feel like it I can easily support this tradition.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga
Now I test lottery and gambling software as my job. It's funny how my life has turned out. Somewhere a Time Traveler is laughing madly- mikeburnfire

Maybe we should post pictures of our green shirts next week. I have four green shirts. I could do this.
Although, two of those shirts have Smurfs on them. I don't know if I'm going to wear those."It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill with rope and a slim majority."

Like Shea said, "shirt" covers just about everything that covers your torso/chest/ect.Adele wrote:Then what's the term for a cotton/linen (nonstretch) button-down collared shirt (usually white or pastel) such that men wear to the office?
I have two green dress shirts for work, a few green t-shirts, a green pullover, a green sweater, and a few more, in different styles.- Fritzler
