    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    "Airplane" is on right now. Yeah, so I'm sitting around at noon, sue me. Anyway, in the Peace Corps "teaching basketball" scene Ted Striker has the safari jacket / shorts thing going on. Couldn't find images though.

    Check out the pop on the tie, the jaunty angle on the lid. That guy has style.

    SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY The National Cathedral is proud to present Jacob Arminius vs. John Calvin in a no-holds barred sanctuary cage match. John says the outcome is pre-determined but Jacob has a mind of his own..... :D

    I'd rather have the you we know than some other guy around, that's for sure. :D

    Nutty Neighbors

    If they are packing renters into a single-family home there may be zoning issues involved at some point. But that would be a resort I'd go to only if they were actually being evil, not just inconvenient.

    The Vig

    I wasn't trying to be picky with your post. From my reading the wiki doesn't really address the interest definition. It's pretty tightly about the gambling. There's just that last line about investment bankers. I wanted to make sure he got the more common (in my experience) loan sharking...

    A Different World

    I'm not sure individuals are quite so key in the action of great events. Take slavery or war. They are pretty much ubiquitous across all human cultures dispersed in time and space. It pushes the model to say such things are universal due to a bunch of disparate individuals somehow...

    The Vig

    More generically, vig is the interest charged by a shylock. As in your example, if I loan you 10 grand for a month I'm probably going to be asking 4 or 5% vig weekly. Now that's $500 a week, and you are borrowing $10K so you probably don't have the 5 anyway. But that's okay, because I'm...

    I got good service at the one in Queens I went to. Picked up a nice brown suit with 2 pairs of pants. One matching, one checked. Decent cut and fabric. The sales clerk was an older man who knew his business. Might have an in with a granddaughter next time I'm out. ;) And it's all...

    The one style appreciation that dare not speak its name...

    I don't post this to invite a round of "PC-run amuck" comments. We've had similar discussions in other threads about where the line is drawn between "style" and "meaning" when the topic is Golden Era (Nazi) Germany. This is yet another example of the struggle to define that line. Plus I...

    What's Your Favorite Joke?

    Little known fact about the carebear. The carebear likes him some duck jokes. A duck walks into a bar and asks the bartender for corn. The bartender says "We have no corn, get out of here." So the duck leaves. The next day he comes back and asks for corn again, and the bartender says "I...
