Holy shit. I started reading this thing and assumed it was some kind of made-up joke article. Then I Wikipediaed the guy. Very bizarre.

While this did not happen to me, it happened to a friend of mine.

When I was in college, I did an internship at the County, along with another guy who was in college. Our supervisor, Dusty, was a few years older than us, and he told us this story that happened to him and a group of his friends. I still remember the…

That’s interesting about your English colleagues. It was my impression that the British went for bolder shirts and more reserved ties (usually solids, or very simple stripes or patterns) while Americans usually wore planiner shirts and bolder (often, ugly) ties.

I am probably just a boring person since the majority of my shirts are solid colored, with some university stripes, and a few ginghams thrown in there. Can’t ever have too many light blue dress shirts, though.

Technically this would just be a dress shirt since it’s not actually Oxford cloth. But yes, valid point.

Same here. Probably have about 30 in the closet (and those are just the Oxford cloth ones).

1. Non-iron dress shirts a quite ubiquitous nowadays

“WE WANT BAMA”? Seems a bit optimistic for a 3-5 team...

I wish I’d known about the festival, I might have tried to make it out there to check it out.

Yeah, I’m not really into choppers, but my friend at the time had a custom chopper that his wife had built for him (He was a Green Beret so all of his boys also had choppers), so we watched it together. I also prefer British bikes.

It’s by the same guys. Not your typical chopper doc, though, I would say.

Did anyone else ever see the documentaries “Choppertown: The Sinners” or “Brittown”? They were both available on DVD to rent from Netflix and I watched them a while back. I thought they were both good movies, both about building bikes, but also about the community/comraderie associated with it.

Did you actually tour the museum? It’s one of the best kept secrets in Birmingham. Definitely a great place to take people who in from out of town, even if they’re not huge motorcycle/car fans. Anyone who is within a 2 to 3 hour drive would not be disappointed in taking a visit.

A fairly classic gin drink that I like, that you wouldn’t immediately suspect has gin in it, is the Satan’s Whiskers. If served at Christmas, I like rearranging that into Santa’s Whiskers.

Remember when you found that star in the room with the door you need the POW block to enter, and then you said “I wonder why I would need this star...”?

The Beautiful Game

Great, thanks.

Do you have a link to that? I think I missed that one.

Man, I hate these TRD wheels...

What kind of/size tires is the Hummer sporting?
