I’d be surprised if there’s enough material in there to get him through two dumps. In the salad days of tobacco advertising, it was the size of a small county’s phone book and you could take all week to finish it.

I’m legitimately upset that Lukas was let go. Maybe I should have clicked on more of his links from the blog, but for some reason in the past few years I’m more interested in his blog than actual uniform news.

Jesus Christ. Throw all these grifters into a snake pit. 

“staff might get bigger”

Considering the new folks running the place, the Swimsuit Issue is probably going to have an outsized place at SI going forward, so that staff might get bigger.

They’ll still get it. It’ll just be shot entirely on an iPhone from here on out.

Erik,

I didn’t start listening to Car Talk until I was in college and had a $500 car that I could barely afford to keep running, so I had to learn how to do it myself. Years later, I was a consultant and landed in Boston on the day that Tom passed. I remember listening to NPR and seeing the info boards over the Mass Pike…

“The show’s most frequent listener these days might in fact be Ray himself. He said he still listens to the show “all the time,” mostly to hear his brother’s voice and remind himself about times they had together. To remind himself of the jokes they shared. To remind himself of the good times.”

Thanks Erik, I didn’t…

I never really “got” Car Talk as a kid, much to the surprise of the adults in my life. I was a little car nut from Massachusetts, after all. And my dad loved it. But this story closes a lot of loops for me.
