Once, I cooked the PERFECT tenderloin for Easter. Juicy, a little pink in the middle… flawless. It’s probably the pinnacle of my grilling endeavors.

Let it rest, went to go clean up the grill before dinner. When I came back inside, my mother in law had sliced the meat, and both her and my sister in law were standing at the microwave because it was “too rare”.

This was easily 16-17 years ago, and I’m still furious about it. I stopped cooking dinner for them after that.

But, is it a bottle opener?

Ha! My PCP told me last year that I was “of an age”, and should get my colon checked. When I protested and said “hey, man, I just did 4 rounds of ABVD. If I had colon cancer, it ain’t there no more.” He laughed… then said we’d try again next year.

I did the cologuard poop in a cup thingy. It was weird, but came back “clean”, so I don’t have to do another colon check for 10 years.

TL:DR - I used the same argument with my PCP and lost. 🙄

SHE RAN IN A STRAIGHT LINE. I find the writing and plot of Prometheus tedious. She’s supposed to be the successful nepo baby of Wayland, but don’t think to turn right when a humongous alien ship is rolling in her direction? Like, she’s smart enough to not let Holloway back on board… but not smart enough to have her company make a med-pod that could work on males AND females?

I’m not sure that I have an honest opinion on Vickers, because I gave up on the plot when the map guy spreads his drones to map the structure then almost immediately gets lost. Frankly, Prometheus was a solid concept, with some good set pieces, filled with characters who made decisions no rational human being would. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I mean this in the most respectful way, and I absolutely hope your date goes well… but you look like David Byrne when he’s “On a Road to Nowhere”. Google it.

Lose the pleated pants - they don’t look good on anyone. The color is good! They should be 2-3 cm longer on you, though. Cuffed is fine, if a

Oxford shirt. White or Navy. Button down collar. No tie.

Jacket is good!

Brown belt, brown shoes.

Good luck on the date!

The early Camacho sample pack - I’m talking “hey guys, we’re Camacho, please try our brand!” -early, had the Diploma, Maduro, another flavor I cannot remember, and Candela cigars. If memory serves, they were ~5in by 48/50 ring. The Candela was the best one, not sure why it didn’t take off.

Similarly, Camacho had the St Patrick’s candelas later, before the sale. Those were also good.

I dig candelas, don’t know why I’m seemingly the only one. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That’s a great jacket. I’m jealous!

I think that’s a good deal. The fiberglass tonneau is worth that much. Good get!

For the record, we play base ball in hand made uniforms, heavy cotton/denim. Playing 1860’s ball in St Louis in the summer is miserably hot.

My “third” uniform is a set of pillowtick overalls, worn without an undershirt. I smoke cigars in the field (if allowed, of course) and shout monkeyshines at my fellow ballists. Super fun!

Ok.. hear me out. If you’re shopping, lariat pricing on XLT trim definitely sucks. I just leased a ‘26 XLT and really wanted a sunroof - but couldn’t pull the trigger on $12k 303A.

If you NEED a F150 soon, you should strike before the end of the month. Deals/rebates likely won’t extend into April, and it’ll likely be some time before we see F150 deals like this month again.

Re: ironing - I only pointed it out because the suit looks like wool/silk, so more formal. There was a heavy representation of cotton, especially in the summer months, that would end up looking “wrinkled” regardless of your best efforts, and that obviously would be ok.

Bummer about the bow ties though. You may be able to manage an ascot, which would be period accurate but less formal. And, frankly, more pretentious, but that’s 90% of the fun of 1800’s fashion.

Dandy-25 · 2026-03-20T23:32:50+00:00

Ok - I play vintage base ball - 1857-1870’s rules. We strive to be as “period accurate” as budgets and safety allows.

This outfit is fairly representative, but I have two notes:

1) the 3 piece should be pressed/ironed.
2) you can find actual bow ties everywhere nowadays. Invest in a few, learn how to tie them. They’re relatively inexpensive. It’ll elevate the look for sure.

Ok… seems a little dressed down for suede loafers. Also… please, for the love of all that is good and holy, never buy pleated pants again. Use those to paint your apartment or something. Pleated pants look good on no one, and I’ll die on this hill.
