If this article which I just sourced is anything to go by, Howard may well have been making a statement with his pink shirt.

The 80's held no stigma. Just take a look at Don Johnson from Miami Vice.

I check this thread out again and people are arguing about the color of shirts? Interesting.

I used to live half an hour from Malaysia and went there all the time. No one cared about pink shirts.

He had an amazing knowledge of music and his tastes were so diverse that it used to amaze me. He grew up listening to so much stuff and what made it more interesting, is that he retained this wealth of knowledge rather than forgetting it like a lot of people.

But that's not an office/business style shirt, so it doesn't count.

You're only saying this because you have a pink head.

I think that having inane arguments about the color of shirts is sort of an unintentional tribute to Howard.

You know, I completely agree with this.

Carry on.

Y'know, I have actually changed my mind about this thread and realise it is a tribute to Howard as Batlord just said.

I imagine that Patrick was just his English name.

Yeah, I didn't want to say anything about that, but the fraudulent e-mails are from someone with the same name as Howard The Duck, operating in the same area of Malaysia for the same Law Firm and if that wasn't enough the other 'scammer' has the same name as his law partner.
