little known fact: South Park used to be a hand-drawn comic delivered by carrier pigeon.

a piece of popular culture much beloved by eight-year-old boys in the nineties.

Actually it's still a much beloved piece of popular culture, students in my classes routinely refer to it. My favorite "they didn't realize I was so much older than them" moment was the class where I was surprised that show was still on the air because I remember watching the first episode with my college roommate, and one girl was like "wait I was 8 when that came out."

The funniest thing about it is that you are repeating yourself. I am pretty sure I could find the last time you mentionned that anecdote.

That's cool to hear. I'm guessing they won't ask you cos that'd be pretty weird, but then again people do weird things.

I've never been asked directly, but it usually comes up obliquely, especially via pop culture references. I still chuckle about the one class where the students were talking about South Park, and I commented "That show is still on the air? man I remember watching the first episode back in college" and one of my students was like "what I was like 8 when that came out"

Also, fuck you tommy. pre-emptively

the age of your attractive teacher

Was this directed at me?

Actually, your mentioning South Park reminds me of a related anecdote; In one class I taught, my students flipped out when they realized just how old I am because I made reference to watching the first episode of South Park (the Christmas one from before the series was on TV) with my college roommate.

er, that is not something I learned today. my bad

You are repeating yourself Joe.

Southpark is the only thing he remembers from way back in the day.

way back.

jhocking · « **Reply #1805 on:** 27 Nov 2009, 17:13 »

I do that a lot. I actually recently discovered that my very first post on this forum is something I've said multiple times. My fiancee routinely finishes my stories for me and gets annoyed that I keep telling the same stories over and over. Apparently I act even older than I am.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #1806 on:** 27 Nov 2009, 18:13 »

Don't worry Joe, I do the same thing. I don't have very many stories and I always forget who I have told them to.

jhocking · « **Reply #1807 on:** 27 Nov 2009, 18:19 »

I don't know if it's good or bad for me that I work in a job where I'm actively encouraged to repeat old stories over and over.

Drill King · « **Reply #1808 on:** 28 Nov 2009, 06:42 »

I am in the "repeats stories" all the time club. Sorry to everyone that I've told the,"I ran through a glass door" story, like. 90 times.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #1809 on:** 28 Nov 2009, 16:53 »

I don't so much repeat stories as I do repeatedly feel the need to explain aspects of my life -i.e; where I work and what I do there- because I figure nobody would care about me enough to remember. (This is not looking for sympathy, I am just a dude on the Internet, after all)

NEW HAT NEW SHIRT CRITIQUE AND EVALUATE INDIVIDUALLY

Bastardous Bassist · « **Reply #1814 on:** 28 Nov 2009, 18:38 »

I like the hat. It is a hat that is cool for the people who can pull it off (I am not one of those people). Also, I am sort of a sucker for military-style clothing that actually looks good, so I'm down with the shirt, too.

Eris · « **Reply #1815 on:** 28 Nov 2009, 18:40 »

NEEDS MORE SWEATERVEST

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #1816 on:** 28 Nov 2009, 18:42 »

I've got a shirt like that (but in black obviously). It's a cool shirt so good work there. I'm not big on the hat but I don't like hats particularly.

No way. Then you'd loose the cool epaulet detail.

Well done Jordan

Chesire Cat · « **Reply #1819 on:** 28 Nov 2009, 19:15 »

Honestly, I think those hats almost never look good. To actually rock it you need a little more of the worn down wool jack/suit hobo look. It just doesnt make for a nice clean look. I would recommend a dark military type cap. Something like this:

It would also complement the epaulettes

Ozymandias · « **Reply #1820 on:** 28 Nov 2009, 20:00 »

Actually I was more going to wear it with my vest vestments and in general with my black peacoat. Which is why I said judge it individually because I don't like wearing hats casually.

Chesire Cat · « **Reply #1821 on:** 29 Nov 2009, 00:24 »

That's toeing the line. Why dont you post a pic in a final ensemble.

Ptommydski · « **Reply #1822 on:** 29 Nov 2009, 01:40 »

The Flat Cap is a brave and always terrible fashion statement.

Since you already snagged yourself a wife-candidate - who even cares, right? Go even further with it. Get a pipe and a tweed vest too.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #1823 on:** 29 Nov 2009, 03:21 »

I love flat caps, but mostly on girls. Where I spent my formative years, the people who wore flat caps were the ones who tended to put their hands up sheep's bottoms. Not a good look.

michaelicious · « **Reply #1824 on:** 29 Nov 2009, 06:08 »

I kind of want to get a deerstalker cap.

Jordan don't wear the flat cap with shirt+tie+etc. flat caps are not for dressy. Whether you like wearing hats casually doesn't really come into it when we're dealing with a casual hat

Ozymandias · « **Reply #1828 on:** 29 Nov 2009, 11:26 »

Well that outfit is dressier than what I had in mind, but that's the only picture I had of the general theme.

Slick · « **Reply #1829 on:** 29 Nov 2009, 11:37 »

Man I amused that the flat cap is being knocked and the cadet cap is being suggested. Cadet caps have been over-done by every hip kid there is. They look cool but they have been used far too much and I think the flat cap is OK.

And because of that we *know* when it works and when it doesnt. Also, baseball caps have been 'over-done' yet look at their prevalence. And if we go by the notion that over-done is explicitly bad, lets look at the bonnet. Try and work that into a functional outfit and not a costume.

So guys I am learning to sew. Today, I fixed the sewing machine and got it working again. I have another friend who already sews and he always has really nice clothes that he either made himself or modified. This will not be forgotten like every other project I start.

J-cob9000 · « **Reply #1838 on:** 29 Nov 2009, 20:13 »

This is in Fashion Advice and not Blog Thread because in order to have Fashion, you must sew. Or someone, somewhere must.

I know how to sew a little bit. My mother is incredibly talented at sewing. It is a very good skill to have.

ViolentDove · « **Reply #1840 on:** 29 Nov 2009, 20:34 »

Me too! I own my own sewing machine also. Pretty much everyone in my house uses it.

Eris · « **Reply #1841 on:** 29 Nov 2009, 20:38 »

I go on crafster a lot and wish I could sew pretty things like those guys do. I have my mum's old sewing machine, but it is at her place because it is too loud and there is no place to put it here for me to use it. I would probably use it more to make toys, though.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #1842 on:** 29 Nov 2009, 22:23 »

I would love to have a sewing machine at my disposal because I have a lot of thrift store clothing items that do not fit right.

I bought a fantastic sewing machine earlier this year at a pawn shop for $35.

Of course... I promptly ripped it completely apart and made a pickup winder out of the motor, however, my advice to anyone looking for a sewing machine is to check pawn shops. Craigslist too.

valley_parade · « **Reply #1846 on:** 30 Nov 2009, 07:42 »

...have you made any pickups yet?

A Wet Helmet · « **Reply #1847 on:** 30 Nov 2009, 08:03 »

Yeah, all the time. Been making my own pickups for quite awhile. To be honest, I prefer a winder I made out of a $12 ebay universal motor, but the sewing machine one was an attempt to ape the Lollar winder. The traverse mechanism gave me problems, so I went back to my old standby.

Sorry about the threadjack. Please return to fashion talk.
