The Zimbrics bought a used Audi instead of a new Buick because of the rings on the hood. The dad was a manager at a Styrofoam company and mom worked as a travel agent. The youngest of their boys, Zombie, was my classmate and we’d spend the summer driving Titlists at the convent 200 yards down the street from his backyard. The older boy had split his head open on a boulder when he dove off the waterfall in the park and now spent his days in his bedroom recreating April Wine and Foghat album covers with colored pencils and construction paper. They weren’t bad for a dude that had 50 stitches holding his skull together a few years before.
Back to school shopping for me meant mom would spend $20 at Farm & Fleet on a good year or patching up one of my brother’s Wranglers on a bad year. I hated the first few weeks of middle school because my friends would have new Levi’s, Nike’s and Lacoste polos while I was stewing in my sibling’s skid marks because the dummy liked going commando.
In 8th grade, Zombie showed up to the first week of school with a different colored Lacoste everyday. We were sitting in cafeteria at lunch on Friday when I noticed the alligator’s tail was starting to curl up. I reached over and yanked the reptile off his polo. The other six kids at the table looked at me like I had just knocked a dry cell off Robert Conrad’s shoulder. “Look!”, I said as I grabbed Zombie’s collar and flashed the Farm & Fleet tag on the back of his polo. Don’t remember if Zombie’s mom bothered to stitch the alligator back on or not.
I’m not trying to make the Zimbric’s sound like an asshole family. They weren’t. They fed me almost as regularly as my own family did. I did Zombie a favor by ripping that lie off his chest. He might have walked around school for a year with this deceit eating at his soul. Being shamed isn’t bad. Being ashamed of being shamed is bad. And that is why I drink in parking lots.
How much pride are you gonna have drinking here?
When the owner of the white sedan walks past you and your buddy are chugging Carlsberg in the shadows, do you get a lot of social status points?
Cement counter and the vent pipe looks like a straw.
This parking lot, my Thursday night haunt, faces a noodle restaurant that belches out the aroma of sweaty socks.
Maybe you want a TV screen devouring your rods and cones. My Sunday bar is decorated with windows that you expect Sadako to crawl out of at any minute.
Parking lot drinking is not without its dangers.
A coworker about 10 years ago busted me drinking in the parking lot across from our office. “What are you doing?” “I’m having a beer. Want one?” Over the years, I’ve had various coworkers, clients and friends join me. At first, they correctly think I’m weird, but that doesn’t stop them from coming by at the right time and to the right lot. Dropping all the pretenses and forgetting about trying to impress anyone is a wonderful way to drink. Rip that gator off your shirt and give it a try sometime.
straffinrun won’t be awake to see me First all over his article.
This isn’t kawaii at all.
Beautiful
Kowai?
Interesting pictures from a faraway land. Was hoping to see a giant lizard, or pretty wimmins, or both. Or rampaging samurai on sport bikes, hewing away at each other with razor sharp swords.
Those pictures are full of Ninja.
Look harder.
Ooo… Sneaky little bastards ?.
Titlists? Cool typo, bro.
Do you know who else keeps titlists?
At a convent, even.
I had one of those gater shirts with a big collar and three buttons. When I was in first grade. Loved it. Had no idea it was some haughty thing.
Just loved the Gater.
Now I wouldn’t own a collared shirt that’s not plaid and has weld burns in it.
Most of my shirts are button-down collars because I find them more comfortable. The current lot is made from heavier material than most because I bought them on a customizable work shirt place (without customization except for the Hawaiian shirt) for blue-collar type jobs. This means I don’t need an undershirt for modesty, since the fabric isn’t see-through, and doesn’t feel like it might rip.
I’ve been buying Red Kap work shirts and Flannels to work for a while.
I do love being causal, but occasionally I miss my short sleeved white button down dress shirt and tie from the early days. Some times you looked like a 60’s NASA engineer.
The only job where I had to be presentable was the army. Even then I was the guy that never ironed my BDUs.
I own one tie. Tied once at AIT buy a really cool guy I’m still in touch with.
I’m fine dressing like I don’t have any money in $500 boots.
I haven’t worn a shirt and tie to work since the nanosecond they told us we didn’t have to any more.
My work clothing is deck shoes, khaki pants and a hawaiian shirt. I buy the shirts used at the local Salvation Army store. I keep one suit jacket (blue of course since I purchased it when I was on active duty), a couple of pair of slacks and two long sleeved shirts (one white one blue) in case I need them when I am overseas biz trip.
My government lead wants us to wear hawaiian shirts when we meet with people on the mainland. He says he wants no doubts who the US Army, Pacific representatives are.
A beer in the parking lot seems like a good idea. Or a couple of drinks at lunch. The increasing neo-puritanism of American biz is disappointing.
Sir, You should work for the Swiss – go to Zurich and have flaming kirschwasser shots with the Chief Risk Officer… oh yeah!
When I was in high school, I raided Dad’s closet to wear awful 70s ties to school. I ended up buying some really awful ties for when the quiz bowl team went on TV, like the skinny blue and pink faux wood grain ties. Classy.
If I have to wear a tie nowadays, I wear a bow tie.
I never really picked up on the supposed status points of designer clothes until I was older. In 4th grade, I had a favorite shirt. I liked it because it had 2 stripes running down from my shoulder and one across my chest – I thought it was cool. I’m sure my Mom got it on sale from Sears.
I was lucky if I had a shirt that wasn’t hand made, pants with patches sewn in them from when I ripped the knees. Style didn’t come until I could buy my own clothes and even then I was a punk so it was sweatpants with shorts over them and whatever shirt I could find at the local thrift shop.
Speaking of one, I was a high school senior with an amazing English Lit teacher. I strolled in with a shirt that said “We get laid all over the world” (it was a tile company). She laughed and appreciated it but said there was no way I was going to wear that shirt in her classroom.
why is the can Carlsberg red? It should be green.
It is green Pie…adjust your Romanian filters.
Why does a fireman wear red suspenders?
I can vouch for parking lot drinking.
After work at first job out of college a group of engineers and managers would walk to the Circle K next door and kill a six pack in the lot between buildings.
The goal was to crush a six pack and toss the empties into the dumpster while discussing nothing. Sort of like the King of the Hill, fitting as I was in TX.

SQUEAL!!! OT – I just discovered I have an IMDB page and credit for a short film in which only my arm is visible.
Are you credited as “Arm guy”?
No, as [REDACTED] the bartender; I was in tight shots, pulling a beer and serving it to the protagonist. IIRC, it was an MFA project from NYU’s film school; they shot it in the mobbed up Williamsburg bar I worked at back in 2006.
I credited a a friend who worked as a stand-in for a reverse shot as ‘Stunt Shoulder’.

I would like more stories of your time on film sets.
Yes!
No vending machine for mixed drinks? What kind of bar is that?
Ah, it’s got its back to the lot, on the right. Next to the Family Mart. Way to live up to the stereotypes, Japan.
Anyplace with 24 hour machine vending of canned whiskey, panties, and crab flavored chips can’t be all bad.
I’m happy with corn soup and milk tea, both hot from the machine.
Corn soup sounds good but I have special, secret love for a piping hot vending machine cuppa’.
Health officials are now saying the lockdowns in So Cal are going to stick around “until further notice”.
How they don’t have daily effigy burning/Hangings in So Cal is beyond me.
That might help with the recall.
Except for effigies.
My preference is to avoid reading the CA news so I can claim plausible deniability on where I can go or not go.
I had a reservation at a swanky restaurant for the mister’s birthday Jan 5 but I guess that is canceled. But I’m going to discreetly probe some of these places that are hosting the recall petition and see what’s really up.
A few years ago there was a fad to set up restaurants with a secret door snd password to enter. Speakeasy vibe.
Now we need those places back in reality,
Now the only question is, who is going to be the Al Capone of indoor dinning?
Straff may start up a new CA fad with his parking lot drinking idea. Get a portable grill and some propane and you could become quite the entrepreneur!
Drive in theaters and restaurants used to be a thing. Seems
like they could be again.
How they don’t have daily effigy burning/Hangings in So Cal is beyond me.
The lockdowns are working!
“First, we gotta figure out how to make the burning carbon neutral. Then, we have to find a Democratic politician less despicable and dictatorial than Gavin Newsome who could get elected here … ahhh, fuck it.”
Many, many years a go I was invited by my room mate in the barracks to go downstairs to the first floor to have a drink with him and 2 of his buddies. Out came a 40 pounder of Dixie Belle gin and it was passed around, back and forth. Every time it came by me I wiped off the mouth with my hand, took a drink and passed the bottle. Then I noticed they were all grinning at me and I asked what was so funny and they explained. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that liquor in the barracks was forbidden and my room mate/new friends were black.
Parking lot drinking is permissible for high school kids, I’ve been told

For a politician he seems alright…on this issue…in this instance.
Since some of you are on a sartorial note, I have a question. For winter work clothes, I’ve generally gone with khakis (since my company went all casual). I’ve been working from home and expect to continue indefinitely. But, just to keep some bit of professionalism in my mindset, I sill dress for work (okay, okay, y’all can stop laughing now). My question is this, would “hardware store” khakis be a terrible choice for work pants? They seem like they’re really sturdy and well made.
I applaud dressing like an adult when you WFH. Hell, I even wear dress shoes and a tie. I don’t dress for others, I dress for me.
Wierdo
My work clothes are my everyday clothes. I have to go out of my way to “dress down” and find it awfully uncomfortable when I do.
All I really wear are Work uniform clothes, Dickies, some Carrhartt,
Sure. And?
Shirts and pants are for outdoors.
I also “dress” for me 🙂
I don’t get clothes as special occasions. I care about my feet, so I wear something fabulous all the time. Wearing Jean’s and sneakers every day is like eating nothing but ketchup all your life.
The same guys always retaliate with the same replies, but I still insist: a dapper tie and a proper knot are their own reward. If I get out and the chicks notice, that’s gravy.
I agree. I don’t get the hate for shirts and ties. They’re not that hard, they look good,
and people notice. They’re even comfortable if you’re honest with yourself about
what your neck size is. Especially in winter, since you wanted an extra layer anyway.
Made-to-measure shirts were a revelation for me – turns out that stock shirts don’t readily com with 32″ arms and 17″ necks.
Now that I have shirts that actually fit, I don’t mind wearing a tie at all (though I still tend towards suit, no tie & pocket square).
My theory is that I want it to look like I meant to get dressed when I leave the
house, not that it was something that sort of happened to me on the way
out and I’m still a little baffled by the experience.
It’s a good plan.
I spend more on individual items than I would have ever imagined a decade or two ago. But I buy far fewer items & those last much longer.
I resemble that remark.
I would totally go full colorful mismatched boho/hippie were I a bit more svelte and thought I could carry it off.
Hey! Welcome back, we’ve missed you two on the zooms!
*rowr*
“A well tailored suit is to a woman what fine lingerie is to a man.”
My general rule of thumb is that I’d much rather be overdressed than underdressed.
I got back early from a charity thing and my wife had the house keys, so I ducked into the local dive bar for a pint to kill time. Being the guy in a suit and tie in a dive bar led to several interesting conversations.
“You FBI?”
“A well tailored suit is to a woman what fine lingerie is to a man.”
Obligatory.
Don’t know about the hardware store khakis for your longterm sitting comfort, but I also like the dressing like you are going elsewhere to work, whatever that means to you. In my experience it absolutely shifts mindset into work mode.

When one of the game cartridges for my switch made a rattling noise as I moved it from the packaging to the console, I did some research as to what’s in the cart. Turn out it’s a single chip on a printed circuit board press-fit into a plastic shell. The good news is the rattling is just the whole board not being snug inside the shell. So, as long as it loads, there’s no problem.
So naturally now, I’m wondering if that is re-writable media, or not.The device keeps the patches on either interal storage or the SD card, so I’m thinking ROM.
And in the event of a Latin jazz emergency, you have a maraca all ready to go. Win-win!
Some of them omit the circuit board if they need more data space just to save money.
I hate it when those Latin jazz emergencies come up. I’m just glad I keep an old Ricky Martin cassette in my glove box.
I briefly misread that as “Latin jizz emergency”.
“She Bangs”, indeed.

National Geographic is running a food factory marathon. Interesting.

It is odd how many (most? All?) kids go through a time somewhere between 7th grade and high school graduation in which we care so much about wearing the “right” things that we devote s disproportionate amount of time and angst to our clothes (and hair and makeup for some).
I was so very relieved to get out of high school and into college, where nobody gave a shit about what others thought of their clothes.
Now my wardrobe is full of boho clothes, My work clothes are black slacks with a variety of blouses,
I dress up when I work from home, including wearing my badge.
Well… I can disprove “All” by self-counter-example. Though, in hindsight,
it probably would have been to my benefit to have spent a bit more time
on those things.
Ditto. Not that I wouldn’t have worn nice clothes if available, but my money was used elsewhere.
When someone in a tie is talking to me, it usually means they want my money and they want me to pay them more than market, because they’re wearing a tie. It’s like never trusting a man with two first names, it’s a gut feeling.
I was quite the clotheshorse in high school – nice shirts, tie (mostly bolos), tapered slacks, alligator shoes, etc.. Now I only dress up when forced by circumstance. I’ll happily spend the remainder of my days in cut-off BDU bottoms and a Hawaiian shirt, linen/seersucker short sleeve button downs. Gutter punk Rambo meets Land’s End™.
Raise your hand if you’re in your late 40s and l0b0t would have been the coolest guy in your high school

Tee hee. More nerdy (theater geek); think Duckie from Pretty In Pink. I always wanted to be a Teddy Boy but ruffled shirts and Edwardian frock-coats were hard to come by in South Florida. I miss the original Banana Republic (with the wee catalogs), Benneton (just for their Colors cologne), J. Peterman (the Jefferson shirt and an oil-skin duster FTW), and (G/d help me) International Male (pants and shoes).
Before I die, since an actual Nudie suit is beyond my budget, I will have a proper Zoot Suit.

I used the tool pockets a lot too. Linemans pliers, a crescent and a decent knife could get a lot done without having to walk back to the truck.
This, except the tools tend to change depending on what I’m doing, then remain in there until such time as think “why is that wrench in here?”, and sometimes it’s a great place to put my phone out the way if I’m getting covered in dust and spatter. I’m becoming increasingly disciplined in getting changed and not running out to the shop “just for five minutes” in my nice jeans.

The Federal reserve Bank declared war on fixed income investors years ago. If you want any kind of yield, you have to buy equities.
It works, until it stops working.
This. If I have $1000 to do something with, what do I do? 20 years ago, I could put it in a CD, bonds, stocks, a high interest savings account, etc. Today, stocks are the only option not being obliterated by the (stated) inflation rate.
The Fed has completely disincentivized saving and has completely incentivized borrowing. Like you said, it works until it doesn’t. When it doesn’t, hoo boy it’s gonna suck.
I still stand by my belief that 2008 wasn’t all that bad of a recession. The housing bubble popping put a bunch of people in a bad position, but overall it was slightly above average severity. A legit no-shit recession/depression will catch people way out because the Fed is chasing the keynesian spending by putting people on razor thin margins.
