Since bespoke garments involve.....uh.....measurements specific to the customers body....how does one get "fitted" for bespoke boxer briefs?

That's why he can't afford it, the cost of the cloth alone is prohibitive! Plus they'd have to reconfigure all of their patterns and machinery to...uh...accommodate him.

Kevin Spacey's casting couch.



AAAAND things took a turn. Apologies. Kinda.

No apologies needed, doubt that I would find myself on his couch, I mean at least sober.........

No wonder he is so popular at Raves.......

SLU more specifically Cupples house

Wow! Great job!!! Yes it's SLU's campus. Now I have to ask, how did you know? I am really impressed.

Either Downton Abbey or Dunrhobin Castle?

Bonus points to you for how fast I can get you to click on the limited release section of the Grant Stone website....

Edit - England weather sucks. It's always so cold, raw and rainy there.

It's SLU's campus with the Cupples House and the clocktower at the center of campus.

Nice, those boots are amazing... I am tempted. How do they fit compared to AE?

I find walnut Strands to be cooler than yall would probably believe, but I admit I'll probably never own a pair for myself simply because I don't think i'd wear them enough!

Mostly off-topic, but it made me miss making a withdrawal from the ShoeBank.

My wife is a Halloween-freak - we decorate more for the 31st than we do for Christmas, she plans her costume outfit all the way back in April, etc. This year she is an alien. Being the lazy, couldn't care less type that I am (my typical costume is a drunk, the Brawny man, things that look like my normal day to day) I decided dressing as a Men in Black outfit would fit the bill of coordinating with her costume and require minimal effort on my part.

I own a dark suit (its charcoal, but its black for anywhere other than SF), black shoes, white shirt, black shades. Perfect, missing a black tie and a prop. The tie can be acquired from Goodwill and Amazon surely has a cheap toy to pass as a prop. I've never seen the movie, but the mind eraser thing is the memorable part - well that and space guns. The space guns in my mind are ambiguous and nonspecific to any movie. Okay that leaves the mind eraser... either spend 15$ for something that reviews unanimously say is a piece of trash or 45$ on a bonafide toy. Who will spend that much on an item I'd buy and put in a drawer for a few years only to end in the landfill? Suckers, thats who.

Being a manly man (no Dalton's here), I decided to put my power tools to the task. Buy a stainless steel cigar holder, a couple of led lights, a 9v battery power adapter, a toggle switch, and some electrical tape. Boom 20$ down the hole, and my result will be better than both. Long story short, several Home Depot trips later for a cobalt drill bit, duct tape, PVC pipe, and some pipe caps I find myself 50 bucks in down the drain. Add an additional 3 hours of labor and I finished with working light switch and a prop that is more likely to pass for well dressed terrorist with a pipe bomb than Men In Black. It's not everyday that I surprise myself, but today was one of those days...

Hopefully my black Sullivans are still in the ShoeBank tomorrow as they are calling my name.
