Possibly dumb question.

Is.

Case Opener Tool. $6 at Walmart.

Also be careful if you try to wind it, it's possible to over-wind.

Hat experts: What is the style name of these hats?

Haven't been out recently because I've been going though stuff I already have. Got rid of a lot so waiting for my little trip to the Catskills area next week. Hopefully I come across cool stuff up there.

Alright so it would appear....

That this label:



Is from roughly 1968 - 1976.

So this coat is 39 - 47 yrs old. Someone must have really taken care of this thing for all those years, for it to not be full of moth holes or totally shot. I always wonder how stuff from the East Coast finds its' way over here to the West Coast.

@Steve Kane that flaming lips shirt is hot. I just saw the group perfom last month in PA, they're very funny live.

Thanks Buffalo! They had this priced at $30. Traded them 3 J.crew shirts for this the other night. Paid about $6 total for those shirts.

Is this the leather one? Thirty bucks? RAGE.

In the field. I know Homme is what I'm looking for in terms of Dior, but is this anything of value?

EPIC.

DEAR PENTHOUSE FORUM: I never thought that it would happen to me.... It was just a normal day, another Friday afternoon at our office downtown. Ink on my fingers, shredded paper below. I had just finished the day's work and sat listening to the wind's slow hiss through the elms and the halls draining themselves of footsteps. Everyone else had clocked out. I sat alone at my desk, peering out the window, the kid who mows our lawn just outside. I seem to recall him using a Weed Whacker, though in retrospect, the brand is probably unimportant. What was important, more than its pendular blur of motion, was its sound -- that low, steady, meditative drone that makes one overly pliable to suggestion -- and the way the yardman was standing -- hip-shot and staggered of footstep, swaying, almost, in that lazy way particular to youth -- all right in front of my wife's SUV. Apparently, he'd flung a rock. It had shattered my windshield. I believe I was only scarcely aware of this by the time he'd managed to shove open my door and walk, unbidden, into my office. I might have been shocked -- hell, I'll even say that I was -- but I admired his honesty. It was something he seemed to own in spades. He even had an honest face -- wide open and expectant. Classical, almost, in its beauty. I am not embarrassed to say I even noticed his tan, its depth-y glow, the way it nearly burst from the fullness of his cheeks. He probably could have had said nothing -- I know this -- nothing at all, and neither I nor my wife would have ever been the wiser. Rocks, after all, are everywhere. They fall all the time. Now my wife, she felt bad for the kid. And since he was so very honest, she wanted to be nice to him, to try to help him....

Thumbs up.

hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaahahahaha.

Hot, hot, holy civil war general and a HALF, man! Impressive beard skillz.

That made me laugh and creeped me out at the same time. I admire the writing! Very good! Could you rewrite it where the person mowing the lawn is FEMALE and needs to figure out a way to pay for that expensive windshield! (Ok, now I have creeped myself out)

Incoming ****** story:

Walked into a usual store and headed to the suit rack in the far corner. I finish the rack and turn around to see two kids grinning from ear to ear, I take a single look and I know right away I doofed. Two Ysl tom ford boot. I asked to see them and they told me that they left a pair because it was ruined. I went to check and...

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I guess they thought the straps on the jodhpurs were broken. Turned a seriously terrible day into a decent day.
