Heh. They're certainly right about the economics.

Funny. That fits right in here.

Tell that to Clayton Kershaw's mother (who BTW I've met. He and his family are really great people).

Hell, I would've thought owning a nylon windbreaker is more rewarding that raising a family, but everyone's different.

Not sure if you guys realise (I'm sure you must) but the Onion is a satirical site...nothing on there should be taken remotely seriously.

They do a good job because I keep getting sucked in.

Everybody is allowed to be fooled once, maybe twice, but any more than that an a visit to a mental health professional is in order.

"...adding that it was on average 63 percent more gratifying to regularly condition a leather jacket that had awesome vertical zippers on the sleeves than it was to read nightly bedtime stories to a son or daughter."

lol

“When study participants also obtained just the right pair of faded jeans and some vintage harness motorcycle boots to go with their badass leather jacket, these enormous feelings of pride and satisfaction reached levels that caused similar feelings stemming from attending a child's college graduation to become statistically irrelevant.”

The Onion is just plain great. Have it in my favorites.

You're not alone. Still, each to his own. Other folks can have kids if they want. Naturally I'll reserve the right to an opinion on how they raise theirs even though I don't want any myself - I'll be the one paying them to wipe me in a nursing home some day, after all!

One of the best was "Detroit to be sold for scrap"

Yes I look at it every now and then plus other similar sites, enjoy these looks at life sometimes This just caught my eye but owning every jacket in Aero or Eastman's catalogue(Other jacket makers are included, there are just too many to list haha) would probably be cheaper and less stressful than bringing up a child these days.

 

[Plumbline]

I have both ... imagine how broke I am

I think the article seriously underestimates how rewarding it is to own a cool leather jacket by about 21%. Especially if Horween FQHH is factored in.

My teenage daughter did not find this "article" amusing!

 

[Rudie]

Why not? Does she prefer imitation leather?
