My legacy

Going out with a bang

I've put a lot of thought into my clothes for Monday, my last day at the Packet.

The way I see it, I have two choices.

In one, I dress in my usual tasteful business casual on Monday, and three years from now, this conversation will occur:

Packet staffer #1: You remember Brian Dearth?

Packet staffer #2: No.

The second scenario, also three years into the future, shapes up as such:

Packet staffer #1: You remember Brian Dearth?

Packet staffer #2: Hell yeah... he was the Web guy who wore nothing but a sportcoat and a towel on his last day. He set the bar pretty high, and even though many have tried, no one's topped him yet.

Although I did decide against following a certain IT drone's advice to respond to all reader questions by directing all of them to the same Web site. I thought maybe that might come back to haunt me.

Do this, and you will truly become a god among men.

But I expect you'll be wearing a polo shirt and khakis. Pussy.

Substitute the towel for some homer simpson boxer briefs or long pants with homer on them then wear the blazer with some flip flops. That would rock. Be sure to post some photos.

Actually, the original plan was Homer lounge pants or boxers. But the lounge pants were packed and the boxers were dirty. Ergo, the towel.

Dude, you need some bling to go with that outfit. It's totally working for you.
