Cuff Daddy exceeds his usual standards for inanity in this post from the marvelous trainwreck that is the black suit thread.

"I'm going to Thailand on my honeymoon and would like to spend as much time as possible in sleazy tailor's shops. How can I make this experience maximally humiliating for my wife? TIA!"

I thought that was a particularly toothsome phrase - we must all turn to the world's captains of industry for our clothing cues. Ah, to reach the sartorial heights of Warren Buffet or Bill Gates!

iGents compare notes about their small Wangs (rimshot). That was kind of a gimme, since the thread is about Kent Wang pocket squares. It also appears to be a classic "yes, I really am this stupid" troll by Zblaesi. Z complains that if he executes a proper TV fold his tiny Wang disappears into his pocket; Kabbaz responds by SLANDERING Wang's squares:

Isn't Kent Wang another member of the Andy Elect? I actually have a few Kent Wang squares and I like them. If I were a person of very severely limited problem solving capability I might have a hard time figuring out how to fold them to the correct size for my pocket.

Hellomarty, the man who returned some shoes to Nordstrom because they smelled like cigarettes, is apparently in real estate. How wonderful!

And the black suit thread has reached a fever pitch of insanity, malice, unreason, and vituperation. It's almost exactly like "The Crucible." Investment bankers and lawyers from near and far have come to visit and to make snide statements and utterly unfounded assertions; each participant founds his philosophy on iron certainty that business stuff is just the coolest possible and most important stuff that anyone could do. I find myself on my knees, weeping abject tears of happiness because I own two black suits and will wear them whenever I like, without reference to the mental illnesses of strangers from the internet.

I tried to browse the Trad forum but it's now about 75% posts from Katon, mostly along the lines of "LL Bean thermometer zipper pull, early 1990s?"

I had a 'friend' who was your standard issue ' I never served in the military, but I collect and live it and don't appreciate your comments about Sarah Palin. He appeared on my doorstep one morning in full mountain yeager uniform with edelwiese patch and 98 KAR. I looked out the window and saw my local chabbad orthodox nieghbors walking to temple. I just let the doorbell ring

Yes well they come here without invites; my reenactor has an  engineering degree from Notre Dam!

I fear it's a malaise of mediocrity with more disease vectors than a subway of rats. The worrisome part is my interest and attempts to dress like a man is vulnerable to the same infection. There IS this to say about poverty; I think a long time about what I buy while financing it.
