i have a plaid bomber and a couple of gingham button-downs, which is close enough to plaid i guess. i think they're nice.





in answer to the question "do you look awesome in plaid" - no, i look like a dork. to be fair though i always look like a dork, that's not necessarily the plaid's fault.

Actually Tommy was right when he said:

Let it go, this whole thing is totally plaid out.

Mostly because I got more pleasure out of that one statement then the whole fashion advice thread or this one so far. Though I maintain his wrongness on the subject of plaid.

Like, my kid brother wore a kilt and a sweet kind of loosely-tied shirt to his prom, and I think he looked pretty great in it. I think he was wearing my grandfather's gillespie clan tartan. In a sea of guys of which only half of whom fit their suits properly, he stood out as cool.
I guess what I want to say is if it looks good, wear it, but don't dress it up like you're scottish and belong to a clan because this is almost 2010 and you're in America.

Co-opting the traditions of another country in an attempt to make yourself seem more exotic is pretty much ground level retarded.

Especially if you're an American. I mean it's a country which in the short-term has given the world so much undeniably incredible culture and has a brief but utterly fascinating history. Visit Europe sometime and tell me about how great it is over here. There's about a thousand reasons why your ancestors left in the first place. Most of them prevail.

I think I love you, Tommy.  I keep feeling like I'm one of the only Americans who is cool with my American heritage.  I want to be me, not "that guy who thinks he's Italian because his grandmother came over from Italy," and if you try to adopt a foreign culture, that is what people end up thinking.

There's about a thousand reasons why your ancestors left in the first place. Most of them prevail.
My ancestors left Switzerland for Germany because they were tired of being hunted down, tortured, and killed by the catholic church, with the approval of the Swiss government. After that, my ancestors left Germany for America for the same reason, except this time it was the Protestants and the Catholics doing it. Those reasons don't really hold up any more, since both governments have become a bit less fond of religion-based persecution during the last century, for some reason. I wouldn't want to go to Germany because of censorship laws and gun politics, but my main reasons for not wanting to live in Switzerland are how much of a bitch it is to get citizenship, the conscription (even though I heard from a resident that roughly 50% of men don't do the service, not sure if that is conscientious, physical, or what), and the possibility of it being miserably cold and humid in the winter. If I had to leave the country for some reason, however, Switzerland would probably be my first choice of where to go.

Barring a draft or something else that would make me need to find a different country of residence, however, I just want to live in someplace nice and cool with lots of rain, lax gun laws, and plenty of empty space. The nice thing about America is that you have a large variety of weather, culture, people (not sure if that counts as part of culture), and geography, without having to deal with moving between countries.
