lord of the seas Posted August 28, 2005 #26 Share Posted August 28, 2005 That reminds me of President Kennedy's speech at the Berlin Wall, when he said "Ich bin ein Berliner" which means "I am a doughnut" (a "Berliner" being a kind of local pastry) instead of "Ich bin Berliner" which means "I am a Berliner." If one is an Arabian, then one is a kind of horse; if one is Arabian, then one is an Arab. LOL I think that either an Arabian or an Arab wearing green plaid slacks would be a sight worth seeing. I should think that a Purple Cow is quit a sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameron Posted September 5, 2005 #29 Share Posted September 5, 2005 :) country club casual refers to a mode of dress nothing else.It means no black tie evenings.some men where jackets in the grand dining room which I think is preferable,but others wher just shirts.

sandbag7 Posted September 5, 2005 #36 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I feel somewhat equivocal about this whole business. I think the formal nights on many cruise ships is an attempt for the pseudo cruise royalty to "party like it's 1899", when cruises were primarily Atlantic Crossings, and cruisers were strictly categorized on Class lines. This I find so unappealing and totally unrealistic. Today however, things have gone so far the other way culturally that you don't have to wear a coat and tie in almost any restaurant in the US, and many in Europe, but I find on the occasion when I'm expecting a great meal that I would prefer to wear a suit. Haven't felt this way on a cruise ship though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandbag7 Posted September 5, 2005 #37 Share Posted September 5, 2005 BTW, a purple cow is quite fashionable. We had exhibitions of street art in Chicago and then New York City several years ago which featured various Cow permutations, including I believe, a purple cow.

desirod Posted September 13, 2005 #38 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Thanks for the info. I will bring a few button down sport shirts, dark shoes, and slacks for dinner. The suit is fun to wear but a pain to travel with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had exhibitions of street art in Chicago and then New York City several years ago which featured various Cow permutations, including I believe, a purple cow.Cows on Parade! They've visited several cities and I collect the miniatures. My latest acquisition is, indeed, a purple cow, albeit wearing a red hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandbag7 Posted September 14, 2005 #40 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Yes, Cows on Parade (as opposed to Bulls on Parade by Rage Against the Machine) ANYWAY, is your purple cow in the Red Hat Club? I saw one of their meetings in Fort Worth last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandbag7 Posted September 14, 2005 #42 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Jane: It's a ladies club (usually 50+ years old) in many U.S. Cities; they wear Red Hats to their dining gatherings; that's all I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andee Posted September 14, 2005 #43 Share Posted September 14, 2005 There is a poem that begins something like, when I am an old woman I shall wear purple....that, I believe, has inspired Red Hat Society groups all over the place. The women wear purple clothing and red hats, and are mostly 50+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaPeaInn Posted September 14, 2005 #44 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Red hat clubs are also doing cruises now. You will see them soon. They have inspired a mens club also, called Romeo's. An acronym for "Retired old men eating out". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druke I Posted September 16, 2005 #46 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Just off Regatta's 8-31-05 Baltic run - and Country Club Casual worked just fine - saw only one tux during the cruise - most gents wearing collared shirts and slacks, with a smattering of sports jackets or blazers, and of course, some gents wearing ties. Ladies were similarly well-dressed. Still amazed at the number of men wearing baseball caps indoors and to the lido. I was always told no hats indoors unless in uniform, on duty, and armed. Guess I am really an old fuddy-duddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druke I Posted September 17, 2005 #48 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Finely Nope - most of the baseball cap wearers were well into their 70s, and in my opinion, should know better than to remain "covered" indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaudiaF Posted September 17, 2005 #50 Share Posted September 17, 2005 :p Finely Nope - most of the baseball cap wearers were well into their 70s, and in my opinion, should know better than to remain "covered" indoors. hat manners 101 :o Indoors, a man should always remove his hat, (particularly in a home, church, courtroom or restaurant) except: (1) in some public buildings or public places such as railroad stations or post offices; (2) in the main parlor area of a saloon or general store; (3) or while seated at the "lunch counter" of a diner or cafe; (4) in entrance halls and corridors of office buildings, or hotels; (5) in elevators of public or office buildings, unless a woman is present; (6) if carrying packages, parcels or bags and both hands are occupied upon entry. (7) If the man is an actor or performer and the hat is being worn as a part of a costume or performance. so perhaps they were all actors?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
