Okay, I'm starting to see some options. The Varvatos Jack Purcells are pretty awesome. Check these out. http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7210270.html

girlgun 06.12.2008 06:04 PM

beautiful, cantank.. but damn that's $$$

i still like the black, gmku... especially for dressing up.

gmku 06.12.2008 06:15 PM

yeah, I think you may have something there.

Thank you for bringing back from the edge. To think I almost bought deck shoes. Whew...

What about for my white khakis, though? And no, they don't look Miami Vice. They're plain Banana Republic pants. Will black look okay?

girlgun 06.12.2008 06:16 PM

they are true white? or more like a white sand?

gmku 06.12.2008 06:20 PM

White sand. Definitely not bright white. Could almost be called a light tan.

how long ago was that? two years ago?

i still wouldn't have fucking bought it. i have a perfectly good copy of blonde on blonde from the 60s in perfect condition because i take good care of my records.

So for those of us who aren't old enough to own an original release from the 60s, but who nevertheless take good care of their records, we're supposed to just be satisfied with anemic-sounding, virtually-transparent-looking-its-so-flimsy-and-thin LPs from the 80s?

Plus, do you own a MONO copy, as well as a stereo copy, and do you own a copy with the original uncensored gatefold photos? Just askin...

You should see me when I'm actually in a store trying to decide on stuff. I practically have a nervous breakdown.

It used to be so easy. I think it gets much harder to pick out clothes as you get older.

Everyneurotic 06.12.2008 06:47 PM

girl, you know it's true.
ooh ooh ooh ooh.

As if there's something wrong with that? It can be good thing.

Anything with an elasticated waistband surely?

Or a drawstring. I think I'll just start investing in hospital robes and slippers now.

Pookie 06.12.2008 06:51 PM

Slip-ons are a good idea as bending down gets harder.

gmku 06.12.2008 06:53 PM

I know--boxer shorts and wife-beater tees. I live in South Carolina, after all. Hell, what am I doing living in a house when a van down by the river would do just fine.

You know we both grunt when we bend down to tie our laces.

floatingslowly 06.12.2008 07:01 PM

that's disgusting.

gmku 06.12.2008 07:13 PM

I don't do that, actually, when I tie my shoes. I'm in good enough shape that tying shoelaces hasn't become painful.

You don't have to be here. Get out if you hate it so bad.

i own one copy, from 1966, it's in stereo, and i don't fucking give a shit.

gmku 06.12.2008 07:25 PM

Loser

Cantankerous 06.12.2008 07:25 PM

big time.

hack.

gmku 06.12.2008 07:28 PM

Besides, girlgun pulled me back from the edge and I'm no longer thinking about buying topsiders... . She did more for me in that moment than I could ever expect from you.

Cantankerous 06.12.2008 07:32 PM

oohhhhhhhh that hurts.


don't you have peanuts to boil?

gmku 06.12.2008 07:38 PM

Oh go shine your 700 dollar shoes.

gmku 06.12.2008 08:08 PM

I could dig these too: http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7157074.html

nice edit, old man.


those shoes aren't bad. go with the brown ones.

gmku 06.12.2008 08:18 PM

Give me a dot, and then let's kiss and make up.

Yeah, I think it's between these and the Jack Purcells.

Cantankerous 06.12.2008 08:21 PM

i'd rather not kiss but we can call it even.

get those ones instead.

gmku 06.12.2008 08:23 PM

Which ones? The Flyers?

gmku 06.12.2008 08:25 PM

It does sadden me that people here might love me less because of the shoe and kind of pants I chose to wear. I have to admit that. I would still be the same old gmku inside the deck shoes and khakis.

Cantankerous 06.12.2008 08:26 PM

the not-converse ones

gmku 06.12.2008 08:28 PM

Got it. The PF Flyers.

Yeah, I'm torn. The Purcells are definitely cool too. I might have to get them both.
