Foof,

How did you choose the tie? I liked, but thought a repp stripe (J Press) would have been nice for TV.

I'm not a proponent of massive knots but that knot was really tiny

I'm glad I didn't know he knew about my participation on the forums. It would have felt very awkward.


I thought you knew that already.

Congrats! The blue steel glare was worth the price of admission. You had the best all around outfit, but I guess Trepanier fits the Esquire lifestyle. Well done anyway.

Foo - can you Foof the finalists? I think it'd be a brilliant finale.

Precisely.

He was photogenic, had an interesting look that was trendier than Mafoofan.
I far preferred Matt's look, but I am not at all surprised that Dan T won.
The real surprise would have been if Matt had won.

Through AAAC? Nick never hid the fact that he worked for Esquire, and his screen name is pretty much his first and last name.

So going forward, will getting dressed up be known as "trepanning"?

The rugby jersey and tweed jacket is definitely the trepanist look.

Congrats for just getting to the finals. I am proud for you if that means anything.
