    Absinthe

    The point of it is, so you can see pretty things, and cut off your ear. Then paint starry night or something.

    Absinthe

    From what I've heard it's largely hit-or-miss regarding the brands. Some things don't do anything, others do all sorts of stuff. Czech Absinth is generally where I've heard react properly. Customs is also pretty random on allowing shipments of the stuff in the country, so it's not tough to...

    Seersucker suits

    Interesting, Waco is just up the street from me in Bryan. I've been in both of the stores but never really gotten anything from them. I've never really cared for Dillards, always something about their attitude.

    Seersucker suits

    I just noticed that the Jos A. Bank seersucker is down to $169 until the 5th. I've been thinking about these things since I noticed this thread a few days ago. My big question is if it is something I'll actually wear much. I haven't really found any decently sized pictures of anybody wearing...

    What's your poison, in news that is?

    The Register! http://theregister.co.uk/ Everything else is bollocks! For other news I use the Berliner Zeitung, and the trip to Slashdot, every few hours.

    Hair cuts

    I've never been able to find much of a haircut I liked, but eventually I've fallen into the short on the sides, and long on top as Matt Deckard mentioned. I think it's the only haircut I've had that I can say I've consistently liked. I haven't played with any oil or goop trying to get the...

    Spectator Shoes

    Golf shoes are pretty much the only kind of shoes with two-tones nowdays. They threw out the whole spike thing a few years ago for another design that gives you as much traction. They're probably not terrible, but there's no way you're going to be dancing in them. I probably wouldn't wear...

    Smokers and non smokers, what do you do, what do you think?

    I'm not much for smoking. It's always rather annoying to go out and have to pile the clothes I was in the previous night away from where I can smell them until they're washed. I usually don't mind it too much unless I'm right in the path of smoke. Cigars and pipes are typicly more pleasant...

    Akubra Federation Deluxe

    I noticed they had a few colors for the plain Federation, but not the Deluxe on hatsdirect. Your review has the graphite color, so I guess the question is where did you get it?I'm quite interested in getting one one as long as I don't have to get it in brown. =) --Kent

    Spectator Shoes

    I don't have any, but I'm in the market for them. I haven't really searched for them, but as for new shoes, I can't find any I like. The swing dance stores, I can't really get a feel what the shoes are like online, and the leather heel they advertise worries me. For now I'm stuck with my...

    The Great Beer Thread

    Warsteiner Dunkel is a Dark lager, typicly found at German restaurants. I suppose I mostly have it with German food but it does a superb job of standing alone. Has the wonderful "Brewed According to German Purity Law of 1516" feature which keeps the bloody mainstream rice beers of america at...

    The Great Beer Thread

    Warsteiner Dunkel, for the first. Guinness is #2 Ziegen Bock comes in last, but not least on my list. These are almost completely eclipsed by Bacardi 151, but that's not the subject here.

    Leather soles V. rubber.

    I'm sold on leather soles and rubber heels. Mostly I'll wear the wingtips or an old pair of boots with leather soles of course. This is another reminder that I need to take up swing dancing. =) I don't really enjoy wearing rubber shoes anymore, it's nice to know there's a mostly hard...

    1940 Air Terminal

    That's pretty neat, I'll have to take a look at it sometime when I'm in Houston. The things you never notice being a resident somewhere and have them right under your nose.
