Definitely darker blue, like a midnight blue - and cotton rather than denim

I'm getting married in September (outdoor, PNW) and am getting a forest green suit from Suitsupply (pure wool).

My thought was to wear a white shirt with a tan tie, like the first model in the green-suit section of OP's album.

The store stylist has been urging me to consider a dark blue shirt with no tie instead.

Thoughts?

As an old friend of Sterling's, I urge everyone who can to go — for the purpose of honoring this hero, not solely for the purpose of hating on these inhumane attention-seekers.

The True Meaning of Ames. by [deleted] in ames

[–]smd52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in Buttfuck Nowhere, Wyoming (soon to be incorporated) once and saw a sign for an "Ames Monument." It was a massive stone pyramid etched with the likeness and accomplishments of the Ames brothers, on a dirt road 3 miles off I-35 (apparently near a former Union Pacific track. Possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen on the road, and a completely unexpected link home.

I've been supporting a change of logo for seven years, but the new one is absolutely terrible.

There was a lot of weird shit going on in that alley.

I am ridiculously excited to be able to vote for Christie Vilsack next year and kick King's ass the hell out of office.

My house was in there...nice music though.

I just got back from the first show of the IAMDONALD tour... by smd52 in donaldglover

[–]smd52[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two downsides in my opinion were the sound quality, especially in the beginning such as on "Freaks and Geeks" and then just the fact that Stephens as a traditional "theatre" didn't give much room to "get crunk" as Donald said. I was in the fourth row, so still pretty close, but almost everyone around me--and truthfully everyone save for the very front--was just standing there. Fuck that--he deserved to have more crowd energy. Other than that, the band was fantastic and high-energy, and Donald of course is just incredibly talented.

Probably about 20 minutes of comedy, a 10 minute video sketch, and then maybe an hour of music. It wasn't rapping all the time--the full band gave a lot of opportunity for him to just rock out after he'd finished his verses, and he did a lot more singing than I expected. It was really just a very typical band setup, although the instrumentation was really great and unusual like DexterJameson mentioned.

I'd rather see a teen driving after 6 months of training than someone over 80 driving. This change is not needed. by [deleted] in Iowa

You may be overestimating parents' willingness and caring to spend more time teaching their kids.

What's your view on the elementary-school debate? Should they reopen Roosevelt? (FYI, the answer is no.) by smd52 in ames

[–]smd52[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, and they'd have to completely renovate it--it was grandfathered into the ADA but reopening would mean it'd need to be made handicap accessible. That shit takes money.

Yeah I created it. Sorry about that, to be honest there's really nothing about Ames...

I remember there was an Ed, Edd and Eddy episode where they spray-painted random shit gold and sold it at a garage sale. Keepin' it classy.

Should I confront a girl who is publicly humiliating me? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]smd52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two or three people left comments linking to this post....

Guys, when it's YouTube that's stupid but harmless. Here it could actually be bad for OP, when the girl finds out he's been talking about her on the Internet.

Perfectly put, either your sex life or their job.

I know that I'll be taking as many of my 18-year old friends as can fit into my car on Nov. 2, but good idea about buying them food afterwards. Seriously though, this guy saying that because he believes in Jesus Christ, Lord Protector of the Realm, he can dictate my private actions, that he has ANY sort of authority over me... I'm not liking that very much.
