I think you take the good with the bad. Its the price of admission, unless you are hanging at the Mansion with Hef.

Keep trying. You're just not doing it right.

just FYI, full disclosure as it were, by Hank-Lisa do you mean Hank merged into the Mona Lisa or the one where people are in a gallery looking at a painting. The gallery was made by a canned program, not made by Chinaski, Inc.

I don't know how you people can choose just one "favorite" Hank avatar. Do you have only one "favorite" painting? One "favorite" movie? One "favorite" Steely Dan song? Of course not. And this narrowness is the mark of the philistine.

But leaving that aside, has anyone been taking advantage of the complete and utter collapse of our economy to buy some new clothes? Any deals out there on the good stuff? Christmas presents for others may have to wait - this is essential spending. But I am not paying $350 for a Brioni shirt during a time of National Emergency.

I'd wait. I've read some of the more progressive firms are moving to uniform shirts and pants, (you know with your first name sewn across the heart) in the new year. Marketing experts have been saying it taps into the public's confidence in institutions, like say Mr. goodwrench.

People in a gallery looking at a painting.

Sorry. But it does not surprise me that my internet persona favors a canned program over artistic individuality. My internet persona also enjoys "Two and a Half Men", Miller Lite, and the band Creed.

Wait until January when the market is flooded with the inventory of all of the retailers who are waiting until the holiday gorging is over to file for bankruptcy and dump their goods.

I have started my '09 workplace fashion statement early. Yoga pants and a loose fitting hoody. All made from organic hemp. Steel grey in colour.

....commando......

Soup Sandwich, you are a madman. When you stole that cow, and your friend tried to make it with the cow. I want to party with you, cowboy. If the two of us together, forget it.

If you can hold off the urge to haggle with the twits at Needless Markup pushing that excellently-crafted and excellently-overpriced stuff, wait until January. You'll do another 30%-60% better.

But what if an Obama-inspired wave of hope washes over the country on January 20th and everyone jacks their prices back up? Fucking hope.

Yes, NM was on my mind because they are still holding their line on the Zegna stuff. But they will crack. Oh yes.

Never mind, cannot get the image to work.

No doubt. Zegna's going to drop like a rock because, though very high quality, they make a lot of the stuff. Brioni's still a limited producer, so you're not going to get much movement on that stuff.

You'll be sobered from the holiday festivities by at least the 14th. This gives you the better part of a week to shop before the hope premium kills the bargains.

One nice thing about this downturn - being a terrific drunk is back in style. I'm not sure my brain is yet recovered from Saturday night. Dom Perignon rose (somebody was giving it away, so I was liberally taking) and Booker's Bourbon do not mix well. I think I offered many impromptu speeches and the usual wry witticisms. I'll leave my wife to handle the fallout.

I need a photo where everybody's standing still. I can't properly evaluate with all the machinery, the movement.

Yes, it's clearly much better than the average nude beach. But I fear it would break my brain, have me screaming "Just stop! Stop for a second and let me get a look at them titaaaays!" (cue Chappelle voice here)
