    Do you do mescaline?

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

    Before the list of finds, a story. I'm a fairly regular donor to my local thrift store. I had donated some clothes, including a Banana Republic wool/rayon long sleeve plaid shirt cut in a 1950s style--one of my favorite shirts because of the styling, but that had seen better days. About a month...

    Wrestling gear?

    There was an Abercrombie and Fitch advertising campaign a few years ago which included a poster of a pair of wrestlers in their gear with the caption "Shoot Hard". Perhaps that is what your friend is going for?

    What the hell does "kick around town mean?

    I would imagine that the pants of the captain of the Titanic turned "iceberg brown". Sorry. Couldn't resist. It does remind me that I wouldn't be caught dead in those shoes.

    Hustler, I'm presuming. I don't think it is a coincidence the leather coat is the Times Square model....perhaps one could wear it to a screening of Midnight Cowboy?
