    faux trouser cuffs

    Yeah, my Mom has done this to some trousers. The only question is whether it looks good or not. Sometime it do, and sometime it don't.

    That's pretty funny! And evil. I like it.

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    This semester I have been teaching an ancient history course at San Quentin Prison. My students there really like my outfits and gear and they say it. One said about a month ago "I miss dressing up." Often they say I look like a "gangster" but at least they don't say "gangsta." I thought about...

    Just how "sacky" would a sack suit have been?

    Eh. I'd leave it alone. It has a vest, so who cares?

    Bizarre Vintage "Heat Massager"

    The shape of the instrument is awfully phallic.

    Bizarre Vintage "Heat Massager"

    Not marketed as such, but surely (one guesses) used as such by the lonely. Yes, a converter is very cheap.

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    Speaking of ebay, the expression "gangster" to describe a suit annoys the ___ out of me. Now THAT is an annoying expression. Combine with "killer gangster" and you have a most annoying phrase.

    Nazi deserters have reputations restored at last

    With all due respect, I must pick at this assertion, for it is not at all true. Fifth century BC: Herodotus, the first historian whose work has survived intact and who in fact coined the phrase "historia" to describe a chronological narration of important events (from greek "historie" meaning...

    Two-tone your own shoes. Tutorial

    I think the point about the dancing that Mueller makes is that the PAINT will stay on through repeated USAGE. Dancing is an example of USAGE. I do not think his point is about those PARTICULAR shoes. Mueller, thanks for the instructive thread. Surely we will all agree on the following...

    I mean ... I mean ... not that I want to USE that weird thing, just have it on a shelf for novelty value (turns beet red; FADE OUT.)

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    Egad, that's horrible. Why do people say this? Do they enjoy saying horrible things like that? That one was trite as soon as it came out of the box. Ugh. I am happy to say I have never used it (as far as I can remember).

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    "I was just going to say..." and "I just think it's interesting that..." Here are two that I have heard while teaching undergrads a lot. Grad students have moved past these, thank the gods. 1.) Student raises hand; I call on him/her and s/he begins by saying, "Well, I was just going to say...

    Black shirt under a white coat

    Sinister can look striking. I have a few black dress shirts, and I used to have more. I wore them all the time with light gray suits, once in a while with blue suits, sometimes with brown suits. They make a lighter tie stand out well. If they look slightly sinister in some vague way, I like...
