We survived 2012, Mayans and Fiscal Cliff notwithstanding. I expect some entertaining and witty posts this year.
can I put it on my cereal though?
Accounting fraternity are pretty infamous for their group calculations.
Huge influxes of energy have been going on in the last 5 weeks and l can sense my DNA advancing. We are definitely in an age of enlightenment. Can anyone feel the vibrations and magic going on in the environment? l feel the secret societies will lose out.
btw, the Fiscal cliff is just a cover up for America's demise via corrupt monetary policy. Fiscal policy will never fix anything.
back to topic.

I thought I had an influx of energy but it was actually the Scotch Bonnets working their way through after the Jerk Chicken on NYE.
We've gotta' make that evolutionary jump into hyper-space, Shooey.
I can sense my DNA advancing too, but not in a positive way, there's lines on my forehead and around my eyes that won't go away now. And then there's that noticeable pastyness seeping into the expression on my face. You think you can deny the ageing process, because your you, then one day, you wake-up and you look middle aged. The best I can hope for know is to end all a venerable old sage, like Yoda.
In Naples, another center of bespoke tailoring, Mariano Rubinacci makes only 1,000 jackets per year. (Existing clients get priority.) There are no labels on Mr. Rubinacci's suits—only the customer's name handwritten in permanent marker on a cream-colored patch inside the breast pocket. And no request is deemed excessive or impossible. One client in Los Angeles demanded a tuxedo for New Year's Eve on Dec. 27. "He spent 20,000 euro on travel and 6,000 euro on the suit just because he wanted to see if my father was able to do it," recalled Luca Rubinacci, son of owner Mariano. "And, I think he wanted to tell his friends about it."

A magnificent feat...And he had a fellow rich and eccentric enough to pay him a large sum just to test his father's mettle? That's blockbuster stuff--harrowing saga of excess, intrigue, sex, and power!
Who in their right mind with all the associated geographical displacement and jet leg, would travel from LA to Naples and back in that short time frame?
Filmnoirbuff was probably the client...
Although there is a lot of similarities between the Italian and British psyche, despite the exoticism they see in each other, the difference here, is that the Italian tailor would invent some spin or indeed brag and boast about the extreme travel of their client as a badge of honour, but you wouldn't see an English tailor resort to such a PR stunt.
When you're a Trad it's called "courting" not "stalking."
I once 'Squired' my 'Intended'...
... And that's how I got my bad back..
Only an 'appraisal' of the 'purview' of their 'writings' could 'suffice' to answer that one...
