"Carl's Lounge" (Off-Topic Discussion, Traditional Knife "Tales & Vignettes")

You have to know that a reproach is often made to me. It's often difficult to know if what I am saying is serious or a joke. The truth is that I don't know either.
However I am almost sure that what I wrote about sneakers, jeans and even T-shirts was a joke. I don't pay so much attention to the way people dress.
Although ... Sometimes, maybe ... I should.

Forgive me, I'm afraid I can't correct myself.

Dan.

 

I therefore deem it appropriate to levy the full weight of the law upon you for your fashioncrime!
I hereby sentence you to the wearing of the skinny jeans with designer rips and paint splashes! A further term of Reebok pumps to be served concurrently with a fluoro vomit print sleeveless t shirt...your hair will be styled by the prison barber until you appear to be wearing a scrawny poodle on your head... and may God have mercy on your soul.
Take him away!

 

For the clothes your sentence is somewhat harsh. Any international court of justice would lighten the sentence significantly and recommend a tailor in London.
For the haircut, no luck, it's my style. You should have considered this possibility. Meako, you're a bad attorney. With all due respect.

Dan.

 

It's simple: people should wear what suits them and choose accordingly, problem is most people follow some kind of 'trend' irrespective of its aesthetic pitfalls...e.g. pyjamas or 'sports' clothes on the less than sporty physique

If you want some tips about clothing etiquette...look no further than the store robbery scene in The Enforcer...Clint did not dress in a shambles and disliked his best sports coat getting grimy....can't include the clip as it contains certain common words that transgress current rules look for the dude who later on appeared in Hill Street Blues, but then Clint was always SHARP and few people could carry off wearing a poncho and still be macho

 

Not quite my idiom, but too nice to pass up at $12.

I went out without a magnifier, and couldn't read the stamp till I got it home.

Also $12, from the same shelf in the same case:

not much to read on this one:

 

Order ORDERRR!
any more interjections about olden days fashion and Ill have you all for contempt of my stylish court...or maybe you like wearing the tartan lederhosen with leopard print safari suit jacket...

 

Meako,
Do you really live, as it has been said to me, head upside down in the southern hemisphere? I ask that because it would explain many things.

Dan.

 

It's okay. I'm defensive because I avoid wearing "grown-up clothes" as much as possible.
It's an injustice that women's fashions are so uncomfortable. I have zero sympathy for men who complain about having to wear ties.
"Oh, you don't like that little strip of cloth? Let me just put on hosiery, and high heels, and garments with false pockets to lend a shoulder to cry on..."

Great finds, congrats!

 

Nice finds Jer

 

@jackknife

No sandals for me, too easy to trip stumble or fall (especially if drinking). I like fishing type shirts with square hems, that’s a little dressy though

 

I went to a funeral where the deceased was buried in a Dallas Cowboys jersey. The pallbearers wore them too. And the priest officiating declared that he was a 49er's fan.

 

Meako my friend you're mind works like the clinically insane but you could enter the standup comedy arena and become and be an instant success so don't ever change.
I'll keep my eye open for your HBO Comedy Special.

 

@dantzk8
Yes mate as a matter of fact I do.
Bear in mind though that global time standards put Aussies in front of the rest of the world*....so therefore the fashions of our today are the fashions of your tomorrow...
Now where did I put my Stubby shorts, wifebeater singlet and thongs( plastic open toe sandals not underwear)...might need a beanie as well or a terry towelling hat in summer....

*NZ not included due to being at least 20 years behind.

 

Thanks for the update on your surgery, Charlie; amazing that you're home already!
I'll pray that your recovery is quick and complete.
But I have reservations about Jeff's supportive message. Isn't it possible that the repetitive motions of coon-fingering brought on your carpal tunnel problems in the first place??

- GT

 

It could be, GT!! Never connected that repetitive motion with it!!
Ah well, I think I will risk it!! It never seems to bother the raccoons around here!!

 

Yea Carl I'm outside the acceptable mode of dress myself with 6 years of daily steroids I left my 210-215 pound body in 2014 and now sport 285 pounds. Then there's the 9 surgeries on my abdomen and a permanent colostomy that work in unison to stop the wearing of a belt in it's track, oh yea they cut my belly button out too. These days I'm relegated to jogging pants.

Here's a picture of one of my high fashion outfits.

 

Good on you Randy..now let the geetar do the talkin' ...but first lets look at some guitarist style dress sense and fashion...evil chortling...Im having a field day

LSD is no excuse ever.

No Hank! This look was never cool.

And as for this ....heavy metal morris dancing?....oh please!how tacky.
You think these guys never wear tracky dacks on their days off?
Cheers..
