Aww, thanks Big Tony! What can I say, Ask Andy is my muse.

The gays in the military thread is stupendous, good eye.

This particular post is a sheer delight. The Gays, like married men, women, and the elderly, are less prone to random violence, STATISTICALLY. Attention, National Science Foundation: send $500,000 in grant money to WouldaShoulda, this guy has his finger on the button!

I think a lot of the posters are afraid that they themselves are latent homosexuals.

AAAC member "My Pet, a Pantsuit" explains his forum name. This is genuinely creepy and unsettling, with a kind of Millenium (starring Lance Henriksen) vibe.

...and while we're at it, this morning's ordinary inanities:

When do YOU make all your coworkers uncomfortable by dressing like a Nordstrom Rack threw up on you?

http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/foru … p?t=102102
FUSS FUSS FUSS!

...and a last minute addition: "high-priced street fighter" Cuff Daddy tells us exactly how much thought he put into an outfit for some lawyerin':

Nothing communicates strength and intelligence like a brown jacket and madder tie! Other than, like, being strong and intelligent! But don't worry, his animal print pocket square brought a sense of eccentricity and fun to the litigation.

They are clearly confused. Some terrible hatreds involved, both of themselves and others. Of course the Springerchange always drawws out the nuts & kooks, always good fun. Regarding sex I always take the view that "all reasonable offers will be considered".

Nice reference, to a show probably no one remembers! It certainly was creepy and unsettling.

Too many office boys and students trying to look like big time executives (dress inapproapiate for their job) l bet these small time tryhards are the laughing stock of the workplace.

l was reading an article that a woman wrote. She said this man wore a 3 piece suit on their first date with a pocket hanky. She thought he was a wierdo. l bet he was an igent from the forums.

lf he wore animal prints to my meetings l would assume he was a twat and a lightweight not to be taken too seriously. lf you dress like a clown then expect to be treated like a clown, but there must be a time when little boys grow up.

Judging by his avatar he's probably one of those Jap. shoo freaks who owns 200 pairs of super-expensive shoos, and wears them once or twice a year, when he pulls them out of the glass display case. Not living in reality. Real shoo fans wear their shoos, they don't collect them.

I read the first 10 posts then gave up. Church's should sue that farker from Andyland, over the corrected grain lie he peddled for years. How many pairs of shoos would they have sold if not for the iGents ranting endlessly about how Church's shoos are crap? It's not just the people who post, it's that large number of people who might read the forums and make decisions, but without ever posting. Church's has probably lost hundreds of sales due to this. That farker owes them for his lies.

Nothing on the level of forum members fantasizing about torturing an animate pantsuit today - in fact, this morning is almost free of inanity, and entirely free of frightening sexual hatred! All I could find was a few single posts from some of the five-star iGent weirdo threads:

http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/foru … stcount=18
This is from "When do you go all out?" Forum superstar Earl of Ormonde is a bit of a puzzle - apparently he's a legitimately tough ex-military, ex-police dude working for some sort of gun-toting agency in Sweden, yet he seems to delight in wearing a "worker's kilt" and in using his wardrobe as psychological warfare. Perhaps this is a national difference, but the only people who wear "functional kilts" here in America are Dungeons and Dragons nerds. I can't decide if this is a piteous cry for help, or someone who actually doesn't care what other people think, which would be incredibly refreshing in forumland (even if his taste sounds vile).

http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/foru … tcount=139
This post, from a new member, falls towards the end of the thread in which AAAC superfriends talk about all the times people were mean to them because they were wearing an ascot. This guy espouses the perfectly rational (though not to Forumites) idea that one should "dress for the occasion," instead of wearing your tails to go drinking with Cruiser's biker buddies.

Then he falls into the same shameful classist pit that so many Andlyanders seem to think defines being a gent - "Of course the drunken working class will beat you up if you're wearing a blazer!" The working class, of course, is frenzied with drink and will instantly and viciously attack anyone that does not conform to its dress codes! Is he channeling some kind of fire-eating preacher from 1913? Christ!

He then asks readers to imagine what would happen if someone came to a golf tournament wearing a (gasp!) t-shirt! Blood on the links! The fact that the fanciest event he can think of is a golf-tournament really symbolizes the middle-class aspirational mediocrity that Andyland mistakes for the life of the nobleman.

Is Dick the WASP doing most of this tongue-in-cheek or is he really the clownish attention whore he comes across as? I've smoked pipes for much of my life, and I have never heard of a guy sucking on a filled, unlit pipe before. Old guys used to chew on unlit cigars (and maybe still do), which always struck me as a rather gross practice.

Shooey, here's one with lots of confusion about shoo sizing:

There is no substistiute for trying on shoos. Trying to develop systems of size equivalencies is a hopeless, and potentially financially disastrous, gig.

I think a lot of these guys believe that if the clock were turned back they would be m'lords. I think it's closer to the truth that they would've been members of what ye olde English referred to as the "criminal classes"

I attended a golf event once where someone wore leather pants, snakeskin boots and an umbrella hat. He stuck out and not in a good way.

He's recently became a shoo freak (a johnny come lately), but the good thing is he doesn't treat his shoos like a panzy, he actually wears them hard.

That `mad monk' certainly hasn't done Church's any favours about his ignorance on shoos. What makes it worse is the guy hasn't edited his pathetic shoo pyramid in over 3 years.

You are spot on Tony. l've always paid shocking prices for shoos in Australia so l don't understand the igent cheapness of trying to do the online thing. Why risk a poor fit and end up wasting time and money. Why not just buy from the shops and take the hit; shoos last a long time, so it's not as if it's money wasted. My view is, if you are too cheap to buy the good ones, DON'T BUY THEM!

The only untested shoos l would buy these days are the Gramp KISS and maybe some old NOS American longwings. The rarity of Grampa KISS makes the risk worthwhile [for me]. l'd love to get some top end English shoos on the cheap and a bunch of Trickers, but it's never going to happen, not worth trying the online thing for stuff like that, too many potential mistakes for the prize you get.
