    The final Episode: Sopranos -Spoilers Everywhere!

    I agree witht the first paragraph and argue that Chase knows exactly what the rule is and why he's breaking it. the story has been long and in it's comings and goings it has been not unlike life and an ending in that context, where strings are tied up neatly, may not have been appropriate. it...

    Pleats cuffs plains and hems

    There is a strong tendency not to cuff plain front trousers, and to cuff rather than hem pleated trousers. Is this a "rule"? can anyone provide remarkable exceptions to this rule, especially of a vintage type? Cheers.

    The final Episode: Sopranos -Spoilers Everywhere!

    I think Brian Sheridan's answer comes closest to what I think of it. The show has dealt with death for 6.5 seasons, sometimes it was handled as tragedy, sometimes as comedy and sometimes as - feh - just one of those things. The end of the series is just one more way of treating the theme of...

    Father's Day

    I just want to hang out with my little guy and have fun. I wish my dad was still alive so I could have him over as well, like we used to. Presents are neither here nor there.

    Are Classy Restaurants Lowering Dress Code Standards in Your Area?
