Thank you, all.

Cravats / Ascots With what ought a well-dressed man wear them? (And any advice on tying them so the knot doesn't slip?)

This is basically mine as well, but I tend towards round neck sweaters when without tie.

I, apparently like most, wore briefs as a kid. I moved to boxers in high school. I'm in the process of switching to boxer-briefs. Best of both worlds. Golden mean. Middle Path. All that.

Red hair runs in some Chassidic families, so that's no safeguard. ;) I've spent quite some time with Chassidic Jews and Orthodox more generally. The Chabad (=Lubavitch) Chassids (probably the most commonly seen, with the Borsalinos) wear big brims- I can tell their hats from a mile away...

Kosher for Passover Coke also is made with sugar instead of corn syrup. (I'm back! Midterms were terrible!)

Am I the first to mention Natalie Portman? Good, all mine.:p

You got a great deal on that. I don't even have all of those guys in my personal library (though I skew Greek)- Florus and Paterculus are particularly rarely read nowadays. I'm envious.

I'll probably be in town from Wednesday through Sunday. Let's be in touch when it gets closer.

Where did those parents learn it? From their parents? If so, then this is the way things have always been. I think there's been a huge cultural change since Vietnam. I'm not sure what it was, but I'm pretty sure it happened.

Hey, Night. My parents live in Cinci...I grew up there. I'll be in town for Thanksgiving, we should meet up at Newport on the Levee for a drink.

From reading the article, it doesn't sound like bored kids but rather someone mentally ill. The article stated that small bullets were used to prolong pain and suffering; killing animals to watch them suffer is a classic symptom of very serious psychoses. Edited to add: That is to say, I'm not...

I write poetry, occasionally. And the occasional micro-fiction.

There's a British toiletries company (with locations spattered across the US of A) called "Lush" that makes some facial cleansers which will probably fill your need. I use one called "Phresh Pharmacy" - a horrible name, I know, and pink, but it works wonders. It takes care of oil and obviates...

It's at that place at 14238 Harper just outside Detroit. Doors are at 6; you could probably still get a ticket. Face value of the tickets is $20; pretty reasonable. I have the new album, "Dark Passion Play"- the new young lady (Anette Olzon) is quite good. Her voice is warmer and a bit...
