The Andyland crowd is in a tizzy over whether a beard is a signal of a barbarian, a hipster, a snazzy Victorian or a weak chin.
Like so many threads over there, the proper answer is something along the lines of "if you have to ask, you're not ready."

Also, member "take five", who is on my radar for his habit of numerous sequential posts per thread, submits that igent classic tale of being so well dressed - he says unconventional- that passersby are moved to insult or even physically threaten you.

Some builder laughed at me the other day as I was walking through Union Square wearing my green Mohair suit. I stopped, twisted round on my heels and said right in his face "welcome to New York Dick Head".
As my forehead met his bleeding nose, he crumpled to his knees, and his face got awfully well acquainted with my fists.
After a while, all I'm doing is pounding wet chunks of bone into the pavement.
So I stop.
So long, Prole.
Been a pleasure.
That's funny, because whenever I walk past foreman navvies, steel erectors and even farting competition engaged scaffolders, they tend to scatter in fear, figuring I'm some kind of repo-man on a daring errand to accost them with legal documents and take their vehicle away from them. I guess you either have the presence of General Patton or not, but then again, you wouldn't find me dressing like Pee Wee Herman to enter the nearest blood tub public bar on the local sink estate.
Some bilder laughed at me the other day as I was walking through the Pinakothek in my Flyers jersey and my tightest yellow leather shorts.I stopped, twisted around on my Roman Sandal heels and said right to their faces "welcome to München, dickheads". They had nothing to say to my witty bon mot and I immediately repaired to the gift shop to buy some cufflinks.
You're right about that. Buffoons...
Locked thread alert!

I haven't read it, but the boring title makes me assume a heated argument over minor taste differences. Heated being what a normal person would call spirited, and minor being ultra-trivial.

I once saw an episode of Taxi so I pretty much sound like a native New Yorker.
Walking in shoos only causes creases in them and wears them out prematurely. Those shoos look painful on the foot, very tight.

Holy cow, l am over 11,000 posts and Worried man is over 7,000. Then again, l have had almost 8.5 years to do it, so roughly 4 posts per day.
His feet or the boots?
The paranoid ninnies come out and are rightfully mocked for once in this AAAC thread where people literally worry about the devastating damage done by highly abrasive dust, sunlight, and animal attacks if their shoos are not bagged and boxed when stacked up on some closet shelf. Why so many of these people have such meager storage space but abundant shoe "collections" is a topic for another day.

In the same pie-in-the sky manner that everybody that ever rented a tuxedo for their high school prom or saw a James Bond movie has a pedantic knowledge of formalwear, the social implications of pricey watches that they may have seen an ad for are fine fodder for the fora. Four pages of banter after somebody asks if some Rolex can be worn for business.

I am beginning to think that perhaps Krusty is more of a Stewie from Family Guy soundalike.
