Why did a bunch of people just run past my window, yelling and holding a big toy sheep trailing long red ribbons? Anyone?

Flash flock?

John_Many_Jars · 2012-04-19T14:53:29.000Z

I would spy on them.

Hey writers.

You’re not allowed to use the phrase “this is only the beginning” anymore.

Cool? Cool.

What about “We’re only just getting started?”

Yesterday, I arrived at work at 10am…maybe 930…somewhere in there. I got home at 1230. Now, I’m home from work today, after having 2 hours since 930 yesterday where I have been awake without actively working. How do some of you do these kind of days? I’m so freaking exhausted right now.

I leave early tomorrow morning for a week long vaction. So I’m trying to think of everything I will need and trying not to forget anything. Last year I forgot to pack any undershirts, for example.

Right now I’m trying to decide how many podcasts I need for my long flights going and coming back, keeping in mind I also have some books to read.

Edit: Just found out I’m going on vacation by myself as the other person going had to cancel at the last minute because of illness. The shuttle taking me to the airport arrives in five hours. So, a week on the other side of the country by myself and I know nobody. This could be interesting. Or pretty dull outside of the events I was planning on.

Undershirts? Who wears undershirts? Do you have those little suspenders to keep your black socks from sliding down around your ankles too?

RichVR · 2012-04-22T15:54:20.000Z

Undershirts keep button down shirts from getting sweaty. In the colder months they keep you warm. What’s not to like?

I wear undershirts. Of course, I also drink highballs and refer to women as “dames”, so I may not be the best yardstick for that sort of thing.

Do you work in an industry where it’s not considered inappropriate to wear jeans to work?

RichVR · 2012-04-22T16:42:41.000Z

I used to wear button down shirts without undershirts. Until the “Bloody Nipple” incident of '98.

Mr_PeaCH · 2012-04-22T17:13:45.000Z

Perhaps I could have been clearer…

Who wears undershirts on vacation?

Dude. San Diego. De rigueur is flip-flops and hawaiian shirts.

Omniscia · 2012-04-22T17:24:49.000Z

In that environment, then, I’d not expect to see undershirts.

But back East we still insist on a certain level of presentability.

Personally, I go for a V-neck, myself. All the benefits of an undershirt (warmth in the winter, sweat wicking in the summer) without actually being visible.

A friend’s daughter is trying to get into some Harry Potter virtual choir. Please vote for her if you have a chance! She actually has singing talent so it isn’t like we are trying to throw the contest or anything.

I’m seeing those Dr. Dre headphones all over campus. Aren’t they like three hundred dollars? How are kids affording them?

John_Many_Jars · 2012-04-25T07:50:25.000Z

I was in NYC the other week and every young man of color was wearing them, often with precisely color-coordinated clothes. I was like, dude, you know Dr. Dre didn’t really design those, right?

Omniscia · 2012-04-25T08:54:39.000Z

Exactly what are you a doctor of, Mr. Dre?
