There was a mini backlash against Vass but it didn't gain any traction, it's only a matter of time a full blown one will materialize.

The RL Darlton/Marlow might reach the saturation point with this RL sale.

Late to the discussion, but I know from working in Japan that if I say Pants they think Underwear. Might account for a few of us using trousers instead.

I always thought it was repugnant that blue is used to represent dark complexions on Hindu gods.

It represents the inherent will to violence of the Hindu religion.

Plus, that's a Jheeta blue.

I think unless one is a Jain, a Buddhist or a Baha'i, chances are atrocities have been perpetuated in the name of one's religion (and if one is Baha'i there may be some architectural atrocities).

Anyone want to update the examples list?

For example, I think AE is now past the backlash to the backlash and back on the pre-buzz/buzz, no, what with 270 degree welting and the new boots?
