But in the case of texting and talking sans hands free in the car...the fines should start at a thousand bucks.<br /><br />LPC...Prunella, darn, you've found me out...Bill Murray Caddy Shack. And if you ever see me in full animation you'll chuckle and say "yep, that's him." I also a get a bit of the puckish Robin Williams feedback from people too. Oh and thanks for the compliment regarding the suit. LFG refuses to cuddle with me re the facial hair so it's a goner this morning.<br /><br />CeceliaMc...YES. I agree. The otherwise fuzzy jaunty rig would be even more provocative with a half or a four in hand or even just a kerchief. Thanks for the ass comment.<br /> <br />Richard M. Yes...I have that same tie as well. Shall I drop off a half dozen Apparel Arts for you? I figure I do so and then remind me to ask for them back in 3 months...then drop off six more. WE have twenty of them over here.<br /><br />SilkRegSorrento...thanks Paul. We've just had open in DC a "New Haven" style pizza joint. It was packed last night. What should I be looking for when I make my first visit?<br /><br />LagunaNonSleeperFogey...thanks. I worked for a Swiss Pharma based in Basel for almost 13 years. The best thing a kid out of undergrad could have stumbled upon. At least for me. I've always said that the shrewd Swiss were very "Prussian" in their business culture and the structure therein was good for me. I might have said this before in a post but the dress code made IBM look like a Greatful Dead fan club. Black cap toes every day...white dress shirts. And wearing ANY kind of sport coat to work would have been a deal breaker. Seriously, I saw guys whose careers were negatively impacted by a sudden change to a funky haircut or some move to a edgy pair of eyeglass frames.<br /> <br />Anonymous Mandinas....glad to know that they remain and that it seems to still be good food. After about six months of living there, I'd exhausted all of the higher end venues and saved them for when I could use my expense account. Mandinas is indeed the poor man's Galatoirs.ADGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612897500610475937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-59296070605378005952010-10-10T07:33:12.147-04:002010-10-10T07:33:12.147-04:00AnonEngFem...thanks.

While I wouldn't be against another pair of black Gucci bit loafers, anything else is lost on me. Two reasons really...I rarely have to dress as fully as the windowpane contrivance dictates and I don't wear a ton a navy blue suitings and don't own a gray suit. Second, you call it simplicity. I call it devoid of soul.<br /><br />NCJack...we've paid a high ass price for the technology that I DON'T want taken away from us.<br /><br />Anon...LeRefuge is best during the week or with advance reservations on the weekend. You'll enjoy it if you gear your expectations to it's quaintness and basic fare. The dressing...I'm too lazy to go to the fridge and look at it but it's KILLER stuff. It's in a post I did called "Proper Dressing".<br /><br />Gwen...thanks very much. I'm not really a cologne guy. The stuff that I've had for 20 years under the cabinet in the bathroom isn't even sold anymore...not even at the drug store.<br /><br />Flo...thanks but no can do. After an hour, the curls take over and it looks silly. Unless I put two pounds of pomade or a half pound of Crisco on it. And I can't be that fussy about anything.<br /><br />AllieVonSummahSistah...I'd be up for the battering ram in the middle of the night thing butcept I'd get to pick the hotties from your website postings that I'd want to be "first in the door" for the intervention. Then there are others on your blog that I'd respectfully ask that you have them stay behind and manage the assault from Central Command and not actually be a part of the Raid on EntADG. Just sayin...with love from your brother in the backseat of the station wagon. <br /><br />YogaTeacher...thanks. I've been blessed with good jeans...body mass/shape wise...at least for a middle aged fella so that's half the battle. We just aren't "big" people on either side of my family.<br /><br />LimeGreen....what about a LimeGreen knit tie.<br /><br />OfficerSouthernGent...Thanks. I'm probably gonna get the high and tight a bit more frequently. Maybe around Feb again. Not Flashman but I will have to shoot a pic or two of some Flashman-esque pictures that I do have. The picture in question is a self portrait by Conrad Stonor Werner, a Scandanavian artist who was active in the early-mid 20th century. He watched over my shenanigans.ADGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612897500610475937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-48486332604053412652010-10-10T00:17:03.428-04:002010-10-10T00:17:03.428-04:00ADG - Terrific post.
