FAUST

What’s that white spot on the water?

      MEPHISTOPHELES

A man with more money than sense taking pictures of himself in ungainly outfits and then posting them on the internet.

               FAUST

Make fun of him elsewhere on the internet!

      MEPHISTOPHELES

                Right away.


MY GOD IS THERE NO DEPTH TO OUR EVIL?

Alexander Chile, wearing his Pinochetian black gloves and pants about 3 feet too long for him garners the usual praise: "Great casual look!"  "Pants might be too long but you're young and you can get away with it." "Thanks for posting before you disappear" etc.

epaminondas jumps into the pink and green fray but gets diverted into grammar crit. and ridiculing the wearing of boat shoes in fly-over states, sensible and valid points but the fastest way to turn the ugly mob against you on the internets.  A horrible moderator chimes in and suggests reporting trolls to K-Bosh, which we know is the fastest way to suspension--for the reporter.  No thanks, Mod, I'll take my chances calling him "names".

The last post here burned my fingers off and ruined my keyboard. So, maybe a pax for a while. Moreover, I really should be working!

I don't mean to pile on Reggie (no animosity here, just argument), but the suggestion that we gather up a snark fund for wells in the desert seems like a non sequitur in the context of these clothes forums. You're asking the guys snickering in the corner to turn to charity when there's a colossal amount of commerce on display right out in the open. Vox could forego a suit and build quite a few wells. One of Kitonbrioni's shapeless vicuna coats could build 20. If Foo could restrain himself from buying about three pairs of Alden longwings he could pay for an adorable, miniature-scale well too.

This also assumes that none of us are giving to charity or volunteering when we're not being bitchy on the internet, which is a pretty big assumption.

I noticed a post asking what older members were most missed. For some reason The Walrus and the Carpenter came to mind.
