See...those forum clowns are making him into an igent.

Trads rejoice in the impending resumption of U.S. Horse slaughtering--and well they should because when it comes to slaughtering animals, we wrote the book.  Aside from the inherent glory of the slaughter and the job creation, other benefits for Trads include:  More Cordovan!  Cheaper Prices!  Bigger houses for the Horween family!

QUIZ TIME
iGent of more than usual stupidity buys a pair of Alden cordovans and "downsizes" a half size.  And now he is unhappy because the shoes:
A.) Are made of ostrich by "Aldenne de Paris".
B.) Smell.
C.) Don't fit.

(Hint: He wonders if the Alden craftsmen can "relast" them and make them bigger:

Barely literate iGent bemoans the fact that retails sales people in stores selling the iconic "Trad" clothing he desperately craves,  "...all have the vaneer of snooty exclusivity that they show to strangers".  But once they find out he's a serious baller from the Trad forum, they fall all over him:

Andyvians unwisely indulge their group hatred on trendy clothes they don't like, which is just code for the people they hate--the young, the Black, those with poor jobs, people who choose to wear their work clothes into luxurious eateries like Starbucks--but in the midst of this sartorial lynching one 12345Michael54321, who must be just south of 85 years of age, waxes on the wit and humor of the late Minnie Pearl, and offers an analysis of the sad decline of "The Beverly Hillbillies", a show whose b+w episodes were worthy of Aristophanes, he claims, but whose final seasons were unwatchable as characters began to deviate from their original incarnations:
