I can't believe that AJ Jacobs has not written a book or article in which he spends a month or two sampling all of the of the products advertised in spam.

I wear scarves in the summer. It gets really cold in places with a/c.

Unless you're on a ranch, I think cowboy boots always look corny.

Our last trip out to Sisters, Oregon for a family reune featured a mass purchase of cowgirl boots by every girl and woman in the extended clan. I'm told the quality and selection outstripped anything back east. But the look is now most in with all our daughters' friends, who thought they looked way cool.

Cowgirl hats were also procured.

Would he actually ever receive the advertised "products"?

Huh. For some reason, I figured everyone had a Cavenders.

My favorite boot shop is Allen's Boots in Austin, but it seems every smallish town in Texas has one. At some point or another when I was a kid, I got some from the Brenham Saddle Shop. I bought a pair right before I went to college at Rhodes Boots in Giddings. I need to get their soles replaced because I've nearly worn them through. My brother had his handmade by a guy down in the Valley right before he took off for school up north. Our last name is embossed on them.

What's moronic about boots and short skirts? I don't wear pants and I don't wear long skirts because I'm not Amish, so in the winter I don't have much of a choice but to wear boots with short skirts. It's actually pretty comfortable.

This seems to include, among other things, the Uggs/short skirt look, which betrays confusion on multiple levels.

Doesn't wearing Uggs with anything other than ski pants inside the lodge betray confusion?

They are doing it in 90-100 degree heat.

In those temperatures, I work hard to not encase myself in extra leather.

That's too bad. If you dress like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, that BJ would be worth $1000.

Life Imitating Lawtalkers
 
Walking outside at lunch I saw a young woman wearing a short dress and cowboy boots.

I'm sure it looked geekier in Minneapolis than it did in Texas where cowboy boots are a little more the norm.

"products advertised in sperm" is how you might describe the Rigid Tools catalog a week after flinty found it in his daddy's garage.

Yes, that's nice and all, but my melanoma-ridden skin cannot deal with CA sun. So I will settle for flip flops 8 mos a year and boots the other 4.

I am too reserved to use the word "love" that many times in a sentence, and I wasn't wearing a dress, but I too got married in Western boots.

That's better than Minnesota where it is the reverse: flip flops 4 mos a year and boots the other 8.

Shirts and boots? No. I'd think the woman was challenged.
Not all men. Some of us find it silly and think of Shirley Temple or Darla from the Little Rascals.

I'm fairly certain they would need that particular article to be written by Ted Allen instead of AJ Jacobs.

Me too. Like this woman:

I would find this woman cute in a Shirley Temple-like way if she were not some weird basement dweller with a swastika tattoo on her back.

Cowboy boots? With denim skirts that short enough that they are obviously designed to advertise to the world at large that you are going commando every time you bend over to pick up your hat, which is blowing off every ten feet or so?

I just signed into linkedin and found a suggestion that I connect to my brother's long-time SO because she shares multiple connections to one of you.

And now, I am thoroughly amused.

Well, technically, it was just one encounter with multiple orgasms, but whatever, you're welcome.

You have a couple of options. You could try using "bourgie" instead. Rhymes (sorta) with "choosy."

Or, if you want to stick with the original word, you could try "Juicy" -- as in the name on the ass of the sweatpants. Assonance (defined, as a lit professor once told me, as getting the rhyme wrong) is the best I can do, I'm afraid.

Be careful. Assonance makes an ass out of onan and ce.

Are there any widely-available ginger-flavored alcoholic items? Like cremede menthe, but ginger.

I would have guessed no, but a quick Google shows a few. Never heard of them so who knows how widely available they are.

Canton Ginger Liqueur
GE Massenez Creme de Ginger
Homer's Ginger Cordial
Mohawk Extra Sharp Ginger Brandy

The site said the brandy is the most commonly available.

There also are a few ginger vodkas, which of course are nothing like creme de menthe, but are ginger-flavored alcoholic items.
