"Advice needed for first job interview. Hi, guys, I'll be interviewing with a prominent New York investment bank/law firm/hedge fund/PE fund and would like your advice on making the proper first impression. Should I wear a grey pinstriped suit or a blue chalkstriped suit, or should I go with a solid grey or blue suit? Are braces acceptable? What about wearing monkstraps? And, would French cuffs send the wrong message?"

"Hi guys! Long time lurker. First time poster. I know you are the guys that can
help me with my problem. My left foot is size ten and my right foot is size eleven,
so consequently, I have to get my shoes custom made (bespoke as you guys say.)
But it's summer and I want to wear flip flops at the beach. My cobbler doesn't do
custom flip flops. Suggestions? THNX"
Regards.

Are leather-soled shoes really superior to rubber-soled shoes?

I'll post a "Critique my Jantzen" thread as soon as my shirts arrive. When will that be, by the way?

Do you lace your shoes criss-cross style or straight across? If the latter, HTF do you get them straight across?

Re: Best Troll Posts
No idea what I am doing on this thread but I suppose there are so many provocative threads in cyberspace I couldnt resist. I am not sure if these belong on the inane thread or this one but they sure do stick with you.
The "Should I carry my attache on the right side or the left side?" is a perennial favorite although I cannot remember the author of this little gem. Posted at a time when vapid threads had not quite consumed that entire MB.
This one is one that actually elicited an aggressive reaction from me, too bad it's all lost to us now. The basic premise coming from the source it does creates a sort of pin ball bumper bling of ironies.

I'm going to a wedding in Biloxi, Mississippi and wonder if I'd be out of place wearing a morning coat?

Re: Best Troll Posts
Anyone else here view Howard as the "lonelygirl15" of AKAC? I was thinking of the parallels to that hoax last night. The fact that Howard the Troll is still getting words of advice and encouragement is a sad commentary on the general good sense and perspicacity of the Andy-ites!
