whoa, yes.

yes.

If you're gonna watch your grandpa give a blowjob, I'd suggest whatever attire you'd wear for painting.

You know.

In case of Things.

[AugustWest]

Wait, what?

[side_show]

Personally, I think barf bags are the fashion for such occasions.

You guys are a riot.

what is wrong with bodily-function-humor?

Here I thought he was saying something about having a Normal Rockwell painting of that. And I was thinking that even though Norman Rockwell seems boring, everyone has hidden depths.

[Lister]

Yeah, 'cause I got nothing on how to dress for that occasion.

To the left, obviously.

Today I bought a sweet jacket.  It is nice but also casual.  I can wear it in the winter outside a sweater or t shirt and long sleeve thermal thing and be warm or wear it in the summer at night and not be too warm.  It is grey.  The only problem is I kinda associate this type of jacket with Oasis.

Oh, the other problem.  I bought it like a size too big.  I am going to try to get it in a size smaller, but I hope that isn't a little to small.  If that happens it would blow.

I realized that hoodies make me like shit and now I never have to wear another hoodie.

Also, my cheap black wire frame glasses broke.  I am on to my hipster ray ban wayfarer glasses.  With this new coat I am looking hella hipster/ brit pop.


Also also, I am thinking about getting one of those hoodie/sweater things.  Like hoodie material/strength, no hood, looks like a sweater, zips up.  That is more classy than a hoodie right?  Or should I just buy a sweater?  Then I got to dry clean, and that is a pain in the ass.

I will probably go there right after work before I read this, so it doesn't matter what you say, but still, tell me.

protip: don't wash your fancy sweaters, ever.

(vernacular TOUAMB version: try what I did, only 10k up front)

I'm kind of confused... In what world are sweaters not washed or only dry cleaned? 

Back before my fancy washing machine I would wash my sweaters by hand and then re-shape and dry them on a small homemade rack over the tub, but now a days I have a hand wash feature on my machine and a official drying rack in the laundry room.

I think there are people who dry clean and people who don't though, so maybe that's the distinction.  With the exception of extremely dressy clothes of the sort I'd only wear once or twice a year, I don't buy anything that's "dry clean only."

Keith, I curious about your coat are you talking about a Pea Coat? If so, that sort of jacket is a classic style - Oasis doesn't own that style.

I guess I would have to say that there is absolutely no chance that a 25 year old male from the Unites States- a dude who owns two ipods and an iphone- is going to hand wash a sweater.  I am even the type of person who kinda thinks that is cool, a better way of life even, but I still would not do it.  That is why sweaters are dry clean or no wash only.  I bought the fake sweater so I don't have to worry.  I just needed something to not make me look like an idiot while wearing nice dressyish boot/ shoe things I really like.  I think it does the job.

And, no I don't think it is a pea coat.  It is like a pea coat a little, but the buttons go all the way up- there are probably 6?- and they are in the middle.  It is really light.  I actually bought it to wear under a pea coat.  This one is made out of something weird, but I know I have seen them with wool and thicker.  This might be like another form of pea coat I wouldn't think of as a pea coat though? 


Okay, I figured it out, it is a military jacket:  http://www.polyvore.com/all-son_basin_military_jacket/thing?id=17445887. 

That is not the one I bought, though it is something similar.  I don't know why I won't show you all a link of a jacket I bought, but I won't.  This is the internet.

Yeah, odds on at least one of us has a subscription to barelylegalstonersinmilitaryjackets.com
and then it would get weird.

This is interesting.  For me, hand washing clothes is just a basic function of living, like taking a shower or eating.  Is that not a thing for most people?  I often forget I am the first generation of my family to have had running water and electricity for my entire life, so I tend to think of my view of things as "normal" when in fact I'm more old school than I typically recognize.

I hand wash stuff all the time, but then, I'm a lady and a knitter. I don't think Pedro even knows how to hand-wash, it would never occur to him. He'll take stuff to the dry-cleaner, though, and I won't. I use "Dry Cleaner's Secret" to freshen stuff in my dryer; it only goes to a dry-cleaner if it's extremely delicate and has a stain.
