"Ah'll bet some pimp is wearin' it right now." 

[Forty Rod]

No they ain't.  Pimps got a code and they wouldn't even wear that.

Some if y'all will be happy to hear that Ford is reintroducing the Pinto with a hydrogen fuel cell. 

Supposed to be calling it the Hindenburg.

Will there be rebates and a Tax incentive?

I think I found one of them code uniforms for Trinity,  some body turned it in over to lost and found.

[Forty Rod]

Now that reminds me of an actual incident when I was stationed in Iwakuni, Japan in '74.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Helped a customer from Branson MO yesterday, he tolt me he has a bright yaller Nudie Suit, now that would be cool.

[Trinity]

Maybe.... in the 1960's

[Forty Rod]

Nudie The Western Tailor on Lankershim Blvd. in L.A.

His suits are timeless....bad taste always is, but lord they were glorious.

[Delmonico]

Where would Hank the Father, Porter Wagner, Little Jimmy Dickens and others been with out him?  Dressed really tacky like most on CMT today.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Here's a couple of possible hats!

[litl rooster]

Always wanted a "Nudie" suit............and his Cadillac>>>Now a days I'd settle for a Johnny Mack Brown shirt, with piping maybe som Flowers

Well?

USMC.

Iwakuni, Japan, Mid-1974.  Young Lance Corporal named (right hand to God) William King Henry the Eighth Banks, Jr.  African-American, about 6'3' and maybe 165 lbs.

Indian custom tailor outside the gate at Five Corners makes LCpl Willie a lime green zoot suit, brighter green shirt, canary yellow tie, belt, and 4" platform shoes.

LCpl Willie goes to town up in Hiroshima, gets to drinking with the locals, and gets into a fight.

Local cop tries to break up the fight, grabs Willie from behind, and Willie cold cocks the cop, breaking his nose and cheek.

Willie panics and heads for the West Hiroshima train station, buys a ticket for a train back to Iwakuni in about fifty-five minutes and tries to hide in the crowd...of mostly grey or navy suited Japanese businessmen, none of whom are over maybe 5'8" tall.

Cops take LCpl Willie to Hiroshima jail and lock him in a 6' x 8' concrete cell with a 12' ceiling.  Door to the cell is 3' x 3' and the sill is 2' high and 2' wide...can't jump a guard from  that position.

We get call three days later to come and see Willie.  We can't have him back, but they'll let us visit.  Willie is in boxer shorts, a tee shirt, and socks, and Willie is (a) freezing to death, (b) starving to death, and (c) scared to death.

Food is one meal of fish, one of pork, and one of "mystery meat" each day, all the rice, tea, and water you can drink, and some vegetables and noodles.  They are also working poor Willie harder than the Corps ever did.  He's digging the basement for a new wing of the jail, along with a hundred or so other prisoners, using a sort handled (for him) shovel.

No labor sortage and little unemployment in Japan.

Willie was there for about a month before a panel of judges found him guilty of assaulting a cop, fined him about a gazzilion yen plus actual damages of a badillion yen, and threw his buttt out of japan forever.

You taxpayers picked up the tab for that.  Willie was actually a pretty good Marine and was allowed to re-enlist so he could repay the government.

He may still bein the Corps for all I know.

I still have a picture in my mind of him tying to disappear in the West Hiroshima train station, shining like a neon green beacon with yellow flashes.. all alone in the middle of the main floor.

[Trinity]

 

What an image!  Especially knowing how reserved the Japanese are.  I'll bet that provided quite a sight for them too.
