    Is there a specific name for this type of coat?

    A friend of mine sent me a picture from the recent Comic Con of these fellows: and was curious if there's a name for the specific type of coat that Vader's sporting in the image. My inclination is to think it's just a particularly stylish overcoat, but I figure if anyone'll know different...

    The Martini

    The essential! The most on-point description of bitters I ever heard was that they're like seasoning on a steak: you don't necessarily think, when eating a well-seasoned steak, "gee, this seasoning's fantastic!" You simply think the steak itself is brilliant. But if there was no seasoning...

    are we becoming too self-centered?

    You're all seriously discussing online diplomas? I can't believe it! Nobody takes a degree from the University of Phoenix or Devry very seriously. It's more to prove that you are capable, not to prove that you're qualified as an expert in a particular area. And to respond to another...

    Thrift Shop

    I didn't notice this thread; I'd started another one that has the "vintage edition" which is very catchy as well. Search for't, I think you guys'll enjoy it.

    Thrift Shop - 'Vintage Edition'

    That's some good marketing they've got themselves there!

    Thrift Shop - 'Vintage Edition'

    Which, contrary to my normal views on the evils of censorship, actually works here - the lyrical changes go with the style of their performance, and some of them are pretty clever.

    Thrift Shop - 'Vintage Edition'

    [Despite our best intentions] It's 2013; lyrics can be found online for darn near anything.

    Thrift Shop - 'Vintage Edition'

    Right? I heard it a couple weeks ago at a friend's house when he was playing it and really dug the lyrics.

    The Martini

    Amazing the number of variations I've seen here...though that just adds to the ever-growing lore of the martini, and all the further ensures that there'll never be a consensus on't. I had my first barely a week after I turned 21, and was very pleased: it wasn't the best I've now ever had, nor...

    Thrift Shop - 'Vintage Edition'

    It's hard to have avoided - surely nigh impossible on a college campus - this thoroughly modern though quite catchy song "Thrift Shop," which extols the virtues of, as the title implies, hunting for nifty finds at your local thrift store. But it gets even better! Take a listen to what these...
