Suits are uncomfortable. Too many layers means they’re hot, and not enough stretchiness means they only really fit when you’re standing still.

WHY CAN’T I MOVE IN THIS SUIT?!?!?!?!?

That just sounds like a cheap and ill-fitting suit. A summer-weight suit won’t be too warm when it’s warm, and I’ve never had a problem with my movement being restricted in a suit.

You’re right. A crappy suit is uncomfortable and good suit isn’t. I have one of each. A tailor made Italian wool suit and a crappy bought from a chain $200 POS that was restrictive as hell. When I got it I was amazed at how comfortable my tailor made suit was, just astonished. I got the crappy one later and was horribly disappointed. Unfortunately I’ve put on a few pounds and don’t quite fit into either now. A double breasted jacket cannot be worn without the matching pants.

Every now and then, I see a picture of Elena Kagan and it reminds me of Rimbo in drag.

Fucking special fucking assessments. Fucking condo.

I thought when going to Cincinnati you’re supposed to get that spaghetti with the chili and cheese on it.

Just made myself a grilled cheese sandwich but I didn’t toast the bread. I don’t know how I didn’t come up with this idea sooner but it’s absolutely amazing. Ham, melted cheese and beautiful soft fresh bread… Yum.

Try a croque monsieur next.

McKnight · 2010-05-11T16:37:43.000Z

That’s the sort of thing I’d usually make, except I make a point of never toasting fresh bread so whenever I have fresh bread I can never make them as a snack. However I’ve now discovered a way to melt the cheese in the grill without toasting the bread and it’s absolutely delicious.

Wikipedia surfing has (a) reminded me that it’s been far too long since I had a croque monsieur and (b) taught me that I desperately need a Francesinha. Like, right now.

Wow, I never heard of that one. Looks sinful.

My god that thing looks amazing. I wonder if I could make one up now…

Nah, doesn’t look like I have enough stuff to make up the sauce, it is now my mission for tomorrow though.

You don’t have a good suit, or you need to lose weight. Too many layers?? WTF, do you wear a vest? With a fedora and a pocket watch? Suits are awesome. You need to get a good one. Or a little black dress, not really sure how you roll but either one is cool.

Eating an entire pie within 12 hours is okay when it’s made out of fruit.

nlanza · 2010-05-11T20:55:31.000Z

Vitamin deficiencies can be nasty. You wouldn’t want to risk one by not eating the pie, would you?

You know that character in movies who’s all homely and shit when she’s in middle school and/or high school, and then she grows up one day and she turns into a stunning beaut?

I just saw that girl from my Jr. + High school.

Suits are for weddings and funerals. Work clothes consist of tee shirts and sweats.

(I know, I know, we can’t all work from home…)

Why is it that I always forget that at 245AM PST QT3 goes down momentarily for maintenance? I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve lost posts when that happens.

No, shorts are awesome. Suits are an uncomfortable relic of a less enlightened age. A little black dress would be fine; at least it’s a single piece of fabric rather than a whole production.

Eh, I’ll disagree here. A well-tailored suit presents an aesthetic look that can flatter literally any body type. Take someone like Sydney Greenstreet - the guy was, to be frank, corpulent. But the guy knew how to dress and always looked classy.

A suit shouldn’t be worn like a uniform, and if it feels like one then either it’s made wrong or you’re wearing it wrong.
