Triple. Dawg. Dare.

Absolutely. Band of Brothers, too.

I would also recommend Duane Hogwood (that’s a title) where he plays the title character, an alcoholic casino employee. He’s an excellent actor and I often wonder what he could achieved if he hadn’t been so closely bound to “Ross.”

I grew up near there and went to that park every summer. You learn early not to stand too close to their mascot Tready the Flaming White Wall when you get your photo taken.

The Random Vandals would make a good band name. Maybe sort of a German folk song version of The Pogues.

According to the Online Etymological Dictionary it’s been used as a noun since the 12th century and derives from the old Norse word for poet, “skald.”

Tampa can’t have nice things? Clearly you’v never been to Busch Gardens.

What’s the difference between cosplay, masquerade, fancy dress, and just run-of-the-mill wearing costumes? This just looks like a group of co-workers dressing in costumes at work. Happens all the time, though usually in the west around Halloween, and no one calls it cosplay. When does this activity cross a line into…

See, up here in the north of New Hampshire the saying is “Cotton Kills” especially in the winter. We also say, “There is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing” so dress how you need to dress.

Yeah. I went back and reread your post and I think I overreacted. Being unemployed/underemployed sucks and I am probably over sensitive to people constantly giving advice I can’t use. My apologies.

EXACTLY! The poorer you are the more you have to pay for things.

But LL Bean is expensive. If I had the cash on hand to buy from LL Bean I would. I don’t. I have $20 to spend on shirts this weekend to wear painting houses as part of my attempt to stay solvent while unemployed. Sure, I could spend less money over the long term by buying more expensive shirts and having them last…

Tip: You can often get really cheap, decent quality t-shirts at various craft stores like JoAnne’s or Michaels. You can’t be too picky about the colors. They sell them to people to paint, tie-dye, or bedazzle at home so [I think] they are seen as loss leaders to sell more paint, dye, and beads. There are also a couple…

Go to a store you know sells high-quality clothing (even if it’s out of your price range), and look at the details of each garment.

This article, like most on Lifehacker and other Gawker sites, is geared to white collar workers, middle class and above. Everyone else need not pay attention.

The former, either, actually.

Or just cultivate an air of competence.

I see what you are doing, but I have fond memories of the word “jamoke” from watching Beretta. So I am consciously choosing not to use that word here. I personally prefer all the various labels being bandied about like YallQaeda, InfantTada, and Inane Clown Posse. (I prefer those that don’t come with a heavy dose of…

That’s why I prefer Daily Fantasy Squirrel Pants Play. It’s a game of skill, not luck.

This was The Simpson’s episode that first sprang to my mind.
