"Student body" is one of those terms people use when they are trying to sound smart. "Students" gets the job done and doesn't make the writer sound like a dork.
And from the sound of it I'll bet that some fine evening the students will rise in a body and chuck this guy in the Inner Harbor.
What kind of monster would choose "fate" over suck or fuck?

Andyites manage to turn a moronic discussion of three button suit jackets into a nightmarish tour of their insecurities. The story begins, as all Andyland stories do, with an Andyman locked in fierce passive-agressive combat with an "SA" - that's "sales associate" to you low-class rubes who don't know the correct form of address one uses when one is striking the girl at Banana Republic in the face. The OP encountered an SA who told him that three-button suits are coming back; the OP knew, deep within the withered, coiling reptile that passes for the soul in the Andyman, that the salesman lied with every word, as in the Browning poem. But like all Andymen he loathes confrontation and craves approval, so he remained silent. This configuration, obviously, is exactly what Andylanders want out of an interaction with a salesman - deep down they want to be tortured with lies and misinformation so that they can display their righteous suffering for their brothers. "I do find it acutely uncomfortable when the assistant's level of knowledge is considerably less than my own. What is the polite way to behave in such a situation?" asks Shaver, cutely, with a boner, as if he doesn't already know. Exterminate all the brutes.

The rube to end all rubes wants to know whether he's allowed to buy a Barbour in London. Andyites give him a great deal of advice - one precious soul tells him to buy an old, jizzed-on Barbour on ebay and send it to be re-waxed at the Barbour America waxing facility. Another poster laments the fact that "hipsters" (the under 60 crowd?) have adopted the Barbour. The adorable homunculus Shaver imparts this wondrous pearl of wisdom: "I recommend against purchase. A Barbour is an item that needs regular wear to develop it's distinctive look. A brand new Barbour is anathema and if you rarely wear it then it will retain a brand new appearance." Exterminate all the brutes. Is it possible that Shaver really lives in the UK and yet he thinks of the Barbour coat as a fashion accessory to be carefully modulated? I understand that in the UK Barbour jackets are mostly employed by farmers to protect their nicer garments from rain, manure, and cow placenta? Am I mistaken?

What to wear if you are introducing POTUS (President of the United States for non Americans) at a place called Bowling Green University. It is in Ohio.
The Full Cleveland?

I do hope the polis are keeping an eye on the For Sale forums on Ask Andy and Patrick's Blog, for The Fly Fisherman's Winter Specials.

Young bloke had broken his wrist the night before I think.
Left handed shake used to be a Boy Scout thing.
In that area around the M62 where the Barbours were nabbed, there are mobile entrepreneurs driving around industrial estates with vans loaded with knock-off and counterfit clothing for men. There was two cases that made the news as I remember, one was the flooding of the market with "high quality" fake Armani jeans and a lorry load of Surgical appliance trainers/sneakers which had been hijacked.
Needless to say, examples of these goods soon ended up in my muddied hands and it was astonishing for the next six months to see the scores of men wearing the exact same Armani jeans and Surgical appliance trains throughout the North West of England.
One thing for sure, the chavs will be throwing away their track suit tops as I type and will be sporting Barbours from now on in. The question will be, can Barbour continue onwards and upwards with a brand image that will soon be equated with the underclass?

l only talk about the mild stuff. l never talk about how our DNA is genetically manipulated by the Annunaki (some decent proof does seem to exist on our DNA manipulation and that we were made by advanced aliens) and how we are a slave race to the Annunaki and they told the 13 families to contaminate the food supply with chemicals and GM foods so we become mindless slaves with no feelings and basically act like machines (we are almost that way now)...almost complete mindless programmed slaves to the 13 families and overseen by the Annunaki. And l never talk about time travel and what the world could be like 800 years from now and how we can travel into the future and past (i've done it), and how there are multiple time periods and paralell universes. See...l never go into the heavy stuff, only basic baby steps when l am here, never the BIG daddy stuff.
Regards Popeye: shooey.
