A fashion board in which sometimes we'll remember to post spoiler warnings

Bratislava? I don't need be told to avoid the hostel.

Many years ago now, but I remember there were some excellent vinyards outside Vienna where you could do some wine tasting in the sun, as long as your ride was taken care of. Also the Secession house with all of the Klimt stuff was cool, as were the other museums.

But my overall impression of Vienna was that it was Very Fancy, which means that Hank can ignore the tourist stuff and just stroll about in a James Bond style until adventure finds him.

About Bratislava I know nothing, except that their Artmedia football team circa 2005 can rot in hell.

I could make partner there. Give a non-stop supply of 1000iu Vitamin E tablets - managing partner.*




*Vit E super-dosing works... like a Super-soaker full of milk. Well, maybe not that well. But you understand.

Is this the Hank who searches for bottles of Johnny Black for the hotel room on his every business trip?

I know you don't have much big law experience, but what you offer is a commodity, not partnership material. unless your sperm offers something unique, 6 toes or something.

Dayglo orange. Like a hunting jacket. Or those golf balls that enjoyed a brief bit of popularity in the 80s.*

Takes an ungodly consumption of Tang, but I always look on the bright side - I"m scurvy-resistant through 3020.

You know, I just logged in because I was feeling like I didn't have enough fashion board circa 2001 in my life these days. Thanks for making it so I didn't have to dig very far. I heart you guys.

An amateur couldn't offer you the kind of advice I know you need. And I see my PM about where to buy Sterno on the Ringstrasse went unacknowledged. Nice.

I don't understand the allure of this. Perhaps if one was into snowballing, volume might be fun. Or if you're a professional, volume is good for the camera.

I've never heard the complaint, "Boy, I wish you could double the amount of semen you produce". Given the copious number of other complaints I've heard, I figure if this was a legitimate issue, I'd have heard it.

Happy to help. Feel free to log off and tend to your cats. I think that the 2nd of the month is when Fluffy, Lunchy, and Boxy get their heartworm medicine and Luke, Bo, and Daisy need their nails clipped.

It's been 8 years, so I've forgotten most of it. The city is lovely. Rick Steves does a show on Vienna. A tour of the Opera House and the Palaces would be at the top of my list. There's apparently a relatively new pedestrian shopping area.

Your response is as timely as Amtrak's "regional express".
