Could have used a little more basting.

My proposal; a new sub-forum devoted entirely to esoteric jokes and bad attempts at comedy.

Any thread that exceeds three pages in length will automatically go there.

Are you saying that this thread should be Dumb Threaded?

Note that I am the only person who answered the poll so far. And I don't mean the fish guys, although they rock.

Poll recap:

U.S.A.: no response yet
U.K.: William Westmancott (no longer in business)
Italy/Outer Space: Mario Zuccala
Middle East: Recep Cesur
Asia: no response yet
Eastern Europe: no response yet

Now that poll count for the Middle East is 1, I have more than a zero chance. Yay!



I apologize for upsetting you, and for the fish picture, and other stuff.

You don't need to apologize. And you haven't upset me at all. I just thought it would be nice to pick the brains of my dapper bretheren. Look, I have no problem with joking amongst friends. But , as I've said before, to hijack a post and turn it in to something it's not is not proper netiquette. I was genuinely looking forward to reading some of the answers.

Oh and Recep Cesur is located in Turkey which is considered a part of Europe, not the Middle East. So you're still at zero.

No. It can't be a 'Dumb Thread' because too many of these aspiring comedians consider themselves clever.

Perhaps I've said too much. I think someone should bring up drape, armholes or 'iGents' now.

He has bricks and mortar outposts in the Middle East, so he's still in the running...in fact, he leads.

It was the first (ok, only) bespoke term I could think of applicable to food. What I really meant was more sauce; can't tell if that is a puree of some fashion underneath?

Dude, that is a Dumb Thread.

iGentry was alreadly brought up by the OP.

Wrong again, Vox. Docholiday has proposed Tom Ford for the U.S. How about we compromise and say that you're a gentleman when you have an outpost in the Middle East?

I don't actually see any poll... Am I meant to go to the other forum?

Anyway, lets just settle on Rubinacci for Italy. That makes everyone happy.

Asia: whoever in India made that really terrible three-piece suit for one member. It looked very 1980's and had huge buttons.
