I am guilty of all of this, too, so don't think I am looking down on you. Rather, we are both looking up, from the bottom of the quaries of Syracuse, into Gylippus's eyes, in despair ...

I don't know about the two of you, but I am looking down from my large foyer.

My foyer is so big, all of Rubinacci's cutters could set up in there.

Don't put words in my mouth. Surprised that Manson didn't instead use a classical term -- hubris. I, however, am not in the quarries of Syracuse. The pits of Gehennah, maybe.

Unfortunately most people don't realize that they will never have a large foyer. What happened to the American Dream?

This is so terrible but yet so funny.

I was in Naples a month ago. I didn't see any trash in the Rubinacci area (I wanted to see the store but it was closed as got to that area of town late afternoon).

You and Heismatt are going on Etienne and Fuuma's Franco-Canadian socialist revolution Against-the-Wall list.

My foyer doubles as my elevator lobby, so I think I don't belong on the list.

What the hell did I miss that has to do with foyers?

If those 'crusts' are bespoke Charvet shirts and a coupe dozen pairs of bespoke shoes made by the best shoemakers in Paris, I think you're doing just fine.

In he mean time:

Never you mind.

They threw in a keychain with a little tie on it and a free tie.

My wife and I were both in our foyer today, and we called out , and we could hear the voices, but we could not find each other.

I did find Rubinacci's buttonhole maker, though.
