What I like to do is have unused spoons and syringes lying around my person when I take photos, just to get that cool jazz-junkie kudos.

Good posts.
I'd have been a little less prolix (diplomatic?) personally, but I agree with what he says.

Re: Awesome Post of the Day
ECONOMICS EXPLAINED WITH 2 COWS
SOCIALISM
You have two cows.
You give one to your neighbour.
COMMUNISM
You have two cows.
The State takes both and gives you some milk.
FASCISM
You have two cows.
The State takes both and sells you some milk.
NAZISM
You have two cows.
The State takes both and shoots you.
BUREAUCRACY
You have two cows.
The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away.
CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.
SURREALISM
You have two giraffes.
The government requires you to take harmonica lessons
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows.
Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why your cow has dropped dead.
A FRENCH CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads because you want three cows.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow but produce twenty times the milk.
You then create a clever cow cartoon image called 'Cowkimon' and market it worldwide.
A GERMAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves. Nobody thinks it has any merit.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows, but you don't know where they are.
You decide to have lunch.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You count them and learn you have five cows.
You count them again and learn you have 42 cows.
You count them again and learn you have two cows.
You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
A SWISS CORPORATION
You have 5,000 cows.
None of them belong to you, but you get to charge the owners for storing them.
A CHINESE CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You have 300 people milking them.
You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity.
You arrest the newsman who reported the real situation, and run him over with a tank in a large open square area.
AN INDIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You worship them.
A BRITISH CORPORATION
You have two cows.
Both are mad.
AN IRAQI CORPORATION
Everyone thinks you have lots of cows.
You tell them that you have none.
No-one believes you, so they bomb the hell out of you and invade your country.
You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of a Democracy.
A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION
You have two cows.
The one on the left looks very attractive.
AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
Business seems pretty good.
You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate
A SPANISH CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You have no idea where they are but since it’s already Friday you go out for breakfast to the nearest bar.

Steve Smith, who resells all kinds of Brooks Brothers stuff, has this disclaimer on his "shoes for sale" post. I have an image of a man, hair flying, bloodshot eyes, about to throw his laptop out the window.
"I don't know what last these shoes are made on. I don't know if these shoes will fit you. I will give you sole measurements if you absolutely must have them, but this subject has been discussed at length and the consensus from posters who are very knowledgeable about shoes is that sole measurements are all but worthless as a predictor of fit."

Re: Awesome Post of the Day
Apparently At the Front's customers try to age their unis by bleaching the crap out of them.
"Do you meatheads think that bleach is actually a trade secret? That it's the best means by which one can 'age' a uniform and appear to be a an 'old salt'? Just curious? Can't read? Ilitarate? Or just plain stupid? Do you wash your car with transmission fluid? Bathe your kid in Naval jelly? Wash your dishes in diesel fuel?"
He doesn't much care for German reenactors either:
"My suggestion to you paranoid panzer princesses is to stop straining your pointed little heads and stick with what you do best. Go back to comparing pics of your stupid cats dressed up with Knight's Crosses and SS camo bandanas, playing Call of Duty in your underwear and waxing carrot. "
Is that like waxing eloquent?
