The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Part II (May 2015 - Sept. 2018)

[impuntura]

For a good part of 15 years my choice vacation destination was the south of France (eze,hyeres,arcachon areas) so I got the nickname Frenchy.

My name: I was cast as Cosmo Kramer in the pilot of a show called "Jerry". It wasn't picked up.

Did you take the raisins?

I figured probably not, but any chance on identifying the maker on these?

Woolrich life.

Little kids Ray bans and Valentino

Self explanatory. (Second Burberyy trench in the last 10 days. Some moth nibbles on the wool blend liner, but everything else is awesome... Also, half off coupons for life)

Edit:
Forgot this.

Absolutely not. You take RB. I say this as someone who's been playing for 13 years and finished top 4 in 10 of those. The lack of stud RB's means you get your pick of the litter. There are QB's outside of the top 4 who will produce enough to matter: Rivers, Stafford, Matt Ryan, Eli Manning. The only time to take QB in the first round is if you pick later in the round.





I would usually agree with you. In fact I have drafted everyone of the QB's you mentioned in years past. And in a 12 person league for 10 years, I have never finished worse than 3rd. BUT, I have never had the chance to draft Rodgers or Brees or whoever the top 4 QB was in a given year. Top RBs have burned me in years past. For the last few years I have take a WR in the first round. My league plays three WR/TE and 1QB and 2 RB.

The funniest thing is trademarking DrunkSpoo in that response! 


I always wondered where people got their user names?  

I'm curious about a bunch of names on here: 

@SpooPoker

@TheNeedMachine

@barrelntrigger

@FlorianQC

@Bahljs

@capnwes

@Jompso

@Orgetorix

@GMMcL


AND others that I can't remember right now.

My name isn't that exciting, but I'll tell you anyway.  When I was in law school, I wanted to be a law professor (to some extent, I still do) or a Judge.  When I went on ebay to set up a user name (just to buy back in 2002), I tried herecomesthejudge first.  That was taken.  I tried a 1 or 2 professor varieties and came up with NobleProfessor.    

I was studying Latin and reading Julius Caesar's De Bello Gallico in college, and to blow off steam at night I'd play Counter-Strike online. Picked a character from the book as my online handle for gaming because I thought it sounded cool and nobody else was using it. Eventually ended up using it as my handle for a lot of other stuff online.

Dude, that's kinda creepy when you actually see it.

 

[Woofa]



@woofa has the perfect name.

Every time I lift one of his boxes that he sends, thats the exact noise I make.

My college nickname given to me because I had a lot of records and cd's as a freshman. I was very into what is now considered retro or new wave. Depeche mode, The Smiths, REM, etc. From a woofer in a speaker.

 

[Woofa]

Pop. Or at least partial pop. SPOO tells me this was a collaboration.

 

[ATLjon]

Vintage trunk guys: Anything here? $40.












Of course, this is the day I'm like "Oh, this trunk is cool, but I'll circle back around for it. Hey, check out this functional raincoat thing, I don't have one of those. HOLY **** RECORDS. Wait, I have a meeting at 12:30 and there's a huge line. ****."

Hopefully that stuff is all there tomorrow.

Suggestions for repairing a cardigan with a plethora of small holes (some darned by previous owner) and a couple larger ones? Normally yes, tossing it would be the best option but this one's a real historical relic with a history that's particularly relevant to me. I'm not looking to repair the various spots of damage myself nor have it perfectly/invisibly rewoven. For the former I think it'd take time and skill that I don't have while for the latter it'd be way more than I could afford. Plus, I kinda like the imperfect repairs done by a previous owner. It's part of the charm, ya know? Anyway, my first thought is to take it to my tailor and have him darn up the little holes with some matching thread and stabilize the large holes, maybe patch them with a piece of flannel in the right color. Any other suggestions? Maybe an affordable knit repair place that'd be up to just doing some darning and stabilization instead of reweaving? I'm gonna be wearing it either way, I'd just like to keep more damage from being done.

Hoping my search for a vintage leather jacket that actually fits me has ended today, guess I will see later this week

Have you guys figured out who the former owner of this $200k+ donation is? I'm dying to know what they do for a living.

You and me both.

Yup, SWB figured it out. Apparently he is a small business owner who really, really likes high end RTW Italian clothing.

His small business must be doing very well.

On another note, my username is from an anime/manga character. Since my mom is Japanese, we watched a lot of anime and Japanese kid's cartoons and stuff growing up.

Yeah, but it's a navy windowpane flannel three piece, so buy right?
