Birthday Embarrassment...

...but not too much.
I've got two stories in mind about my San Francisco sortie. And I'm full up with all kinds of other raw-materiel for other stories...but am short on time. So I figured I'd share for now, as a placeholder, what greeted me at the post this morning. I stopped by after landing from SFO and my Cleverley bespokes awaited me...along with my birthday lead soldiers and a half price Rugby sweater. And my Bookster trousers were cuffed and ready. I'm on procurement lock down for the balance of 2012.
But the greatest gift accompanying the sartorial goodies was my thirty-four dollar electric grill. I'll kick George Foreman's a_s.
Onward. Kicking. In Cleverley.

Well I hope you have (had?/are having?) a very nice birthday. Remember you're only older by one day!

Damn. Damn. Damn. My parcel didn't make it in time for the birthday loot shot. But the Cleverly shoddings would only overshadow anything else waiting for you at the post.

Damn. Damn. Damn. My parcel hasn't arrived in time to make the birthday loot shot. Looking on the bright side, it won't be overshadowed by the arrival of Cleverly shoddings.

Have tried to avoid any sort of collecting, as it tends to make one crazy. After reading your ongoing drivel...uhhhhh....interesting blogacious comments, am going out tomorrow in search of little lead soldiers. Curse you,

cordially yours,

Jack

Very original choice, this v-top, you don't see much of it, even if you look round the Cleverley shop, very smart, I'd be curious to know how they rate in your eyes as far as comfort goes. Meanwhile, congratulations on your exquisite taste!

Those Cleverleys are--as the ghetto kids say--"da bomb".

Well done, ol' chum.

poloist said...

Very nice... Someone already took my ghettoness by using da bomb. Funny considering who it's coming from. Love the kicks bro. I guess I still have it in me; the ghetto that is.

poloist said...

OH, and happy B-Day

ADG said...

Poloist...thanks. I'll "da bomb" from both of you.

FogeyLaguna...I believe I'm on a very slippery slope with these Cleverleys...been wearing them all weekend. I'm spoiled for any of my other shoes now.

Paul de Ricky Gervais...I deliberately went for one of the old, classic designs from the days of the man himself. I'm still amidst breaking them in but they are incredible.

Jackie of the Carolina North...the cool thing about collecting little soldiers is that you can assemble a company of them for only a little bit of dough. Or you can behave like me and go freakin' crazy with it.

LimeGreen...I always appreciate your parcels!

AnonBookster...They are flat front, fishtail back....go to my tumblr and you'll see a profile of them. Somewhere.

MainLiner...Hang tight. I'll get there. Just haven't had anything pop lately in the city. But I did get the scorched coat "patched"...

YogaTeach...I'm having a nice life so my birthday was naturally good.

WhiteHorse...thanks.
