Saltlakrid is third on the list of things I miss about Denmark. So delicious

1. Danish Women

2. The amazing selection of hash in Christiania

just sounds like hypocrisy. don't know if there's a more specific term. probably is. there always is.

for the record, not hating on the alden thread. i think the forum is mostly insular mini-communities that all of us belong to. i'm sure people look at the geller thread, for instance, and have the same reaction i described above. we're all just lice-munching gorillas in the conceptual forest

Rft: I actually really like the stupid heel stabilizer on my visvims. Really comfortable and I really like them.

Do you have a recommendation? I have the Leopold Bros in my liquor cabinet, but I would love to try the Pacific sometime.

I dont drink absinthe often, but I currently have a bottle of Blanchette and its pretty good.

Always dress for the position you want, not the position you have.

That Buzz Bissinger article is horrifying. I don't think I'll buy clothing ever again

Sure stevent, horse butt is amazing. And in all fairness to Alden they make (some) nice stuff.

But there’s just something unsettling about the place. The thread. I don’t know how to put it, it’s almost pervy. For some reason I imagine most regulars being stodgy types who work in finance. Employment at an investment firm or bank feels prerequisite to really be like a true member of the Alden Thread. One, the income it demands, but I’m pretty sure most of the wyw shots come from the MC side, men taking a break to post a flashed out image of a longwing or nst and always working the maximal amount of argyle into the frame. I would not be surprised if most of their socks were attached to garters. Don’t ask me why I just find that repellent. One guy always puts his shoes up against a mirror in the shot. I have no idea if this is the uncle guy, but it’s completely excessive and not unlike somebody whose life’s nexus is their shoe collection. I’m pretty sure the mirror is not full length and he just tucks it away in a drawer somewhere when he’s done.

And then there’s the uncle thing. Obviously you really work your way into the inner circles of the thread via veneration of McArthur or whoever’s Alden collection. He seems to hold something of a total cordovan eclipse over any dissenting voice about QC or inflated price points. Nobody acknowledges the QC issues because it harshes the mellow in the place. Sand in the vaseline sort of thing. You can continue the metaphor from there. But what else could you expect; this is their hobby. Mention ‘ravello’ and everyone gets extremely excited.

Could just be me, but you gotta expect the guys on the thread, the ones holding up the nephew part of that uncle correspondence, you got to imagine they don’t get too much attention from girls. Could just be me tho.

What I can’t figure out is if these guys are like this because of Alden, or if say people crazy about AE are the same. Is there some kind of intrinsic aesthetic to Alden, some kind of white collar New England thing I’m missing that strikes a chord with these guys and brings out this weird fascination with the brand.

You care way too much about this topic

You win

Got my luggage back to me. Had way more **** in there that I cared about than I had originally thought. But really, I'm just happy to have my sonicare back.
