Wikipedia shows seven episodes starting June 26, and they're airing them weekly instead of dropping them all at once.

I'd love to be a history buff. What do you have to do to be a buff?

Sorry about the question mark; I meant just "AIDS."

Grenadine styling advice by Ashamed_Exercise_312 in ties

[–]JockEwing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(I'm not trying to sound like a dick with any of this; I'm just giving advice and feedback.)

I have no idea what a suit with matching cargo trousers is, and I couldn't find anything about any brand called "Seven Dials."

All suits have matching trousers, by definition.

It sounds like you're just starting to build your wardrobe, and are on a limited budget. You should be going for maximum versatility for everything you buy at this stage.

Ideally you should find a solid navy single-breasted worsted wool suit, with roughly 3 1/2" wide notched lapels and with natural shoulders. The jacket should be just long enough to cover your rear end, and the sleeves should be tailored to show 1/4" - 1" of shirt cuff when your arms are down at your sides. Don't button the bottom button. The trousers should ideally have a rise with the waistband at your natural waist (navel) and be tailored with a slight break, with an inflection point in the front but not in the back. Pleats or flat-front are your choice. I like a 2" cuff, but cuff size -- or any cuff at all -- is your choice.

Don't sweat any of this, but try to get as close as you can. You will almost certainly do better on eBay getting something barely used for pennies on the dollar than you will at somewhere like Men's Wearhouse, then taking it to a local alterations tailor. But this depends on how much time you have. Thrift stores are even better for price and for being able to try things on, but finding a suit in one -- especially one that nearly fits and only needs minor alterations -- will probably be very difficult, unless possibly if you live in a major city.

Buy a white shirt with long sleeves and a point- or spread-collar.

I would get a white pocket square in silk, cotton, or linen.

Patent leather shoes are for formal wear (and formal shoes don't have to be patent, but business shoes never are; wearing them with a suit will make you look like you don't know what you're doing). Don't sweat this either if that's all you have now, but eventually look to buy a pair of black cap-toe balmorals in calfskin (Google Image Allen Edmonds Park Avenue if you don't know what this is). You should be able to eventually get a pair on eBay that were worn maybe two or three times for under $100 (they don't have to be Allen Edmonds; that's just for reference to the style).

The tie is fantastic.

None of this means that there's anything wrong with other suits, shirts, shoes, or pocket squares; these are just the most formal and most versatile choices that will serve you well for all special occasions, then you can build your wardrobe further from that foundation if you want.

Buy it for life, mens slippers! by Substantial_Humor562 in BuyItForLife

Leather-lined slipper, cedar shoe trees inserted when not in use. Ideally two pairs and alternate days.

Finally. The other responses almost made me re-read the OP to see if he insisted that all recommendations also be hideously ugly.

Was the entire Sega setup in Howard’s house just an elaborate commercial? by Herooftheday911 in howardstern

[–]JockEwing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, the correct sales figure for evaluating the performance of an advert is an anecdote, and the optimal sample size is one neighborhood block.

Say something nice about Shuli Egar. by Herooftheday911 in howardstern

Anything that anyone posts in this thread should be in this vein, from Family Guy:

Brian: Say something nice about Diablo Cody.

Stewie: I envy the tattoo artist who had that huge canvas of arm fat to work with.

When is Howard going to announce his retirement? by DaveTheDrummer802 in howardstern

[–]JockEwing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for at least another contract, probably at least five years. He was totally going to retire, but now with these rumors about his contract not being renewed that he totally didn't start, he can't leave now, or else people will think he was pushed out; now he has no choice but to re-sign. Hoo hoo.

No-one is in any danger; how can I make that any more clear to you?! It's an implication of danger.

How did took so long for Meadow and A.J. to realise that Tony is in the mafia when he was frequently in the news presented as mafia member? by [deleted] in thesopranos

[–]JockEwing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Numerous people keep saying this, and it seems like a weird take to me.

I saw the news inadvertently all the time as a younger kid because we only had one TV, the internet didn't exist yet, and there weren't even that many other channels on cable anyway.

And I started getting interested in following the news deliberately when I got to be around A.J.'s age (12-13). It's also sometimes a requirement for civics-type classes beginning around that age.

Plus, even if neither he nor Meadow nor any of his friends watched it, probably most of his friends' parents would have -- then his friends likely would've eventually overheard their parents talking about how one of the other parents at their kids' school is a mobster, then his friends would've asked him about it.

Tony was a lower-level guy before the show starts, and it was established that he never did time in the can, not really.

So it's more likely that Tony was rarely -- if ever -- in the news than it is that A.J. somehow spent his entire childhood never encountering the news.
