All the world's a stage.

I have very mixed feelings.

It looks like they had fun--as I did when I wore plus-fours and a bow tie for the Q Putt-Putt Open! But honestly they don't look very Edwardian (the gentlemen especially), and even if Edwardian they're not dressed for croquet, and the factory doesn't look like a very good place for croquet anyway, and I wish that the pictures in their photo set didn't include quite so many shots of them taking pictures of each other.

I'm not ashamed of my sartorial Putt-Putt hijinks, but I doubt they'd be of much interest to the world as a whole. If I were one of this croquet crew, I might be a little annoyed at having my and my friends' whimsical stunt (or Grand Gesture or whatever you call it) featured for the whole world to discuss on Boing Boing.
