I will NOT wear a hijab

Unbelievable that they would force women to wear this crap and on top of that if they don't they might be arrested.

Bunch of dummies.

So you were originally planning on playing in the womens' WCC?

your SO right.  wearing a hijab would make me look vaguely creepy.

I WON'T wear one! and neither should you.

with the advent of gender changing surgery/treatment...

would it be profitable?

Do you like
hijabs and ham?

I do not like them,

(Sorry, I just couldn't resist...)

Im going to find a card board box, cut it out so it looks like a robot head.  Im going to wear it in Reno and if somoene complains im going to threaten a law suit.

Esh

I would pay Real Money

to see Hijabs and Ham

set to zany animations ....

I like this. Those in Reno, and the rest of the country, need to stop infringing on our harmless attempts to live in Synchrony with the Great Mechanism (blessed be every Tooth of its Gears).

Is this the thread where we state what we will &/or will not wear? At least the other thread was specific about what to wear to bed - not that it was a good thread ...

Oh what the hey - I will NOT wear underwear unless I'm working out.

If I play in Iran, I will play only while dressed as a candy raver with a cowboy hat.

PLUR, y'all!

And I'm getting a babaji tattoo

I'll get a giant one of Pikachu all across my back.

would going as a nun be ok ?

hypocrisy isnt it , to get so worked up about another cultures traditions , the tournament is for a short time the dress code is a minor thing to bear to get the chance to play your best fighting chess

but islamaphobia is nothing new , asians have been putting up with it from their lighter skinned brothers and sisters for so long now

there  have been a lot of weird clown sightings in the U.S. All these random clowns running around scaring and threatening people. I wonder if clowns in Iran have to wear hijabs. Or would they be forbidden to wear hijabs. Or to practice clowning?? just musing.....

by the way. did you know that there quite alot of concerns that maybe some of these "clowns" will be shot?

don't be a thoughtless prankster.  some of these good "country folk" are not to be mocked or pranked.

on the other hand, if you DO dress up in a clown outfit.  a Hijab is recommended.  everyone knows america's sharp shooters aim for the eyes.
