Am I usually "contrarian for poops and giggles" ?Originally Posted by gdl203
I don't think so. Sometimes you do have a habit of stating things very abruptly as though the truth should be self-evident, when (to me, anyways) it's not as self-evident. And I think "gosh, the truth isn't that self-evident, perhaps he is just joking" and so here we are. I suppose the truth just was that self-evident to you in this case.

Not what I meant, but quite funny. Unintentional setups happen when a small timer like me tries to run with the big dogs.Originally Posted by LaoHu

English is not my first language so it's not always intentional (although probably sometimes is...)

You're using Yohji Yamamoto english? (much of his reputation for terseness and abrupt/cryptic answers can be attributed to his limited knowledge of english).

your wife begs you to get a new dj? how often do you wear it!Originally Posted by constant struggle
This year, probably five times. Three to five times a year is more or less typical. Used to be more frequent, but fewer social and charity events are black tie, and we have reached the stage in life where most of our friends have already gotten married, so that category of weddings has dropped out.

The way that you put things is often quite French.
In translation, that can often be abrupt...just the way that Americans often seem abrupt to the English.

Have you given any thought to appropriate shoes now that you are on the downhill slope of mortality?

As long as you pick a black clothe and not midnight blue I authorize you to get one made if you ever want to. Blue DJ almost always luck cheap and not "blacker than black". Some are great though...Originally Posted by Fuuma
The Smith and Lesser midnights are really nice. In the typical dim light of a hotel ballroom, I am going to bet that they do look blacker than black. Anything brighter, and you can tell they are blue.
Still, they just look better to me than black, though since I have a hard time telling that might be psychosomatic.
