Bespoke tailor barely scraping by in New York
Although no one wants to hear about a bespoke tailor struggling, I have to agree with AC and others - it would seem there is more that can be done to improve the situation. It's not like the guy is living on welfare, but yeah, things could improve. It's up to him to make that decision. Hard work... -

Buzz Aldrin Strikes Back!
I am also concerned but perhaps not for the same reason. If kids are being cynical to fit a fashion, then it's a shame. Being cynical for its own sake only sours the pot. I have one question though. Why does it seem like so many people are questioning every little story the US government...- Undertow

A maximum total of zero, which is not altogether unusual. -
Buzz Aldrin Strikes Back!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems two seperate issues are being discussed here. 1. No one is above the law, regardless of title or pedigree. 2. Harrassing someone, stalking them, getting into their personal space, verbally abusing them, etc. is unacceptable and a reasonable person might...- Undertow

Buzz Aldrin Strikes Back!
Right, exactly. Even when there are easily defined, easily researched and corresponding facts, history is still fickle. If history were simple, murder mysteries wouldn't exist. And then where would that leave Sherlock Holmes? Playing violin and beating everyone at Cribbage, I guess. ;) I...- Undertow

Buzz Aldrin Strikes Back!
I agree Butte. It's one thing to hold these beliefs and an entirely different thing to start attacking someone over them. Sure, if we were talking about someone's livelihood, or a cover up for thousands of deaths, or something of that kind of weight, getting in someone's face would make sense...- Undertow

"You know, I've been waiting for an orchid!" What does THAT mean?
Wow. Seriously. Lizzie, you regularly make my day. Just remember that there is some hick in Iowa who reads your posts, pulls off his cotton cap and says, "Well ain't that something?"- Undertow

Buzz Aldrin Strikes Back!
Let me step in as Devil's advocate here. When you're growing up, your teachers tell you that our buddy Chris Columbus came through, discovered a godless piece of rock we call America, straightened out a bunch of simpering savages, and was a hero to us all. We don't learn about murder...- Undertow

Your First Fedora
Two Biltmore Senators; one in chocolate, the other in navy. Purchased from a relic called Bond's of Beaverdale (old men's suiting store open nearly 100 years) in 2007. Two weeks later, the store was closed. A year later, the building was demolished and replaced by some cheap brick facade for a... -
Two-tone spectator search
Good to see you back Sam! I've been meaning to get out to Marty's when I'm up in MN. I'll be getting married in April of 2013 in MN as well, and I'm sticking with patent leather lace-up captoe oxfords. The fact that they're not plain toe is enough to drive me insane, but I'd rather have a...- Undertow

Cotton-rayon: what have I been missing?
No kidding? That's strange. What kind of odor? Rayon doesn't typically retain odors, but cotton might. Does the odor leave after washing the garment?- Undertow

Cotton-rayon: what have I been missing?
Just did a quick search on Walmart.com: Rayon Blend Shirt 1 $8 Sears.com: Rayon Blend Shirt 2 $8 Macys.com Rayon/Linen Blend Shirt $18 In case you were looking. I'm not sure what the blend ratio is on the first two. Hopefully cotton and not poly. Rayon blend shirts are easy to...- Undertow

Bic pens "for her"
Call me a paranoid cynic, but this smacks of "guerilla" and "viral" marketing tactics that have been adopted/emulated by big corporations. Rather than spend any money on traditional advertising, a company such as Bic creates a splash with a bogus product, or Twitter post, or Facebook post...- Undertow

Price of Gas
We are living in an era of Corporate Nationalism, unfortunately. Shareholders, CEOs and upper management (aka The Great Pyramid Scheme) are more important than the nation.

Bic pens "for her"
I don't know what all the hub-bub is about. I guess it's "sexist" to have a "For Her" product. I get it. This is just a stupid marketing gimmick that obviously worked. I don't know what's wrong with women having pastel colored pens "just for them". I guess it could be taken as a condescending...- Undertow
