    how is babby named?!?!

    Gotta get some alliteration going on. Otto Onderik - Sounds like a hedge fund manager (or a fascist dictator) Ontario Onderik - nah Oliver (Ollie?) Onderik - not so bad

    Advice for Japanese MotoGP at Motegi.

    I'm jealous! Make sure you plan ahead with your taxi/bus/whatever to the track. Things get a little bit crazy as the races let out and if you don't already have a ride set up you might be screwed. When I went to Jerez for the '09 race I ended up walking like 3 miles through the f**king desert in...

    Jamon Iberico

    I ate a looooot of ham when I lived in Seville. The standard way to eat it there is with bread and a little olive oil. I don't see the need to do anything fancy to it. Also, I believe Jabugo is the ultimate ham. I looked into getting a leg shipped over to the States, but the price was around...

    Engineering office attire?

    Would it be inappropriate to wear nice non-bal boots like the AE Malvern or some RM Williams craftsman in a business casual environment? Would that be a problem if I wanted to throw on a tie and jacket?

    Engineering office attire?

    Lots of good responses. Always amazing how helpful you folks are. I guess chinos make a lot of sense. Some nicer-looking rubber-soled AE's maybe. I'm not exactly sure what my assignment will be yet, so there's a chance I could be in manufacturing or something where I'd be making the rounds in...

    Engineering office attire?

    Soon-to-be graduate here. I'll be starting work this summer at an engineering and manufacturing form in New York state, and I'm trying to figure out what kind of work wardrobe to put together. The dress code is business casual, which I understand. The issue is that I will inevitably be spending...

    Tennis is killing my feet

    Don't even think about frees. You need some leather to keep the shoes from getting torn up too quickly. Put some vaseline on your sock (and the inside of the shoe) on the spot where you're getting friction.

    Sperry or Rockport?

    If you're set on owning one of those two pair, I like the Rockports, but I also tend to be pretty conservative in color choices. Quality should be similar between the two pairs. You should be able to find a pair of solid navy Sperry's online for like $60-70, and that's what I'd do.

    Anyone speak more than two languages

    English and Spanish fluently, working on Japanese. Grew up in midwestern US, lived for a while in Seville, would like to spend some time in Japan.

    Memphis stripped its victories during '07-'08 season

    Everyone who has followed Calipari's career for very long knows that he caters to thugs. Calipari has always been crooked and I'm sure we'll see recruiting and academic violations showing up at the U of K in a few years' time. The man has no class and he never will.

    Tennis Players??

    Adidas and Nike for tennis gear. Both make good stuff. Adidas Barricades are the ****. I've had like 5 pairs of Barricade II's. The II's hold up better than the III and IV do. And you gotta wear long socks. Not like over the calf, but not no-show or ankle socks or some bullshit like that. When...

    NEED HELP ASAP Re: suit and shoes

    Those aldo shoes should never be worn with anything. Stick with cap-toes with the suit.

    Chinos!

    Thanks for the advice. I guess I'll check out J Crew, and yeah, there's a Bill's Khaki's retailer in Tulsa, as well. Is the Incotex fit too slim for someone with larger legs? I'm not talking like huge fatass legs, but more like cyclist big thighs. Sucks being in Tulsa, too. I don't have access...

    Chinos!

    Lookin' to get some nice chinos here -- I used the search function but couldn't find a thread specifically about who makes what kind of chinos. I'm looking for some nice chinos, I'd wear them casually but they'd need to be able to hold a decent crease b/c I'm an engineer and that means biz...

    Lacing Jack Purcell's

    How do you guys lace up your Jack Purcell's (or other plimsolls)? I just tie mine up tight but I feel like that might look a little "square." Just curious to see how y'all do it.

    Small-timer watches

    Hey Sf-ers, After a little research it seems like the seiko 5's are a great value, and I'm really thinkin' bout getting one. Which color do y'all think I should go with?? I'm open to other suggestions if you guys think this watch sucks, too...

    How to carry eyeglasses?

    How do y'all carry your eyeglasses around? I wear prescription glasses, but I keep a prescription pair of sunglasses in my car for driving, walking around on sunny days, etc. and was wondering how to carry the eyeglasses in the event that say, I'm walking around downtown on a sunny day and...

    Breaking in boat shoes

    Advice from my college soccer coach that works great (dealing w/ blisters) -- VASELINE! Anytime you feel shoes start to rub a little bit, take them off, put lots of vaseline on your sock (foot if going sockless) and inside the shoe, then put the shoes back on and continue. This has helped me...
