I probably shouldn't yell like that this early in the day, but what can I say - I'm loud.
So, I need lots of new clothes for the new job. I go poke around at the Nordstrom Off the Rack to see how far my money might go there (not far), and I notice that, men's shirts have gotten lots louder than they used to be. What style advice do the FaWTLies have for a guy looking to bring his CHA MOD up through the purchasing of better, but not necessarily crazy more expensive, clothes?

I did the Marvel Movie Marathon yesterday at the theater. $35 and I saw Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor 3D, Captain America 3D and The Avengers 3D (midnight showing). 15 hours in a theater sustaining myself on popcorn, water and over-priced candy.
But it was worth EVERY F*#@ING MINUTE.
Actually I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to do this. Work interfered.

Actually, what gets me about this comic's caption is that it REALLY makes those who fall into the caption's category sound like a mom's basement dwelling hot pockets eating stereotype.

J.C. Penny - Stafford Oxford shirts - the heavy weave stuff. They look decent, no loud colors, and they'll last forever. Four of the ones I own I've had for over 10 years, with hardly a sign of wear or tear.
That and some Dockers pants - you're good to go.
If you need a suit - Joseph A Banks. Excellent customer service and it seems they've always got some kind of sale or special going on.

I used to love Cameron. Then he made Titanic. Then he became a preachy douchebag. Now I can't stand him.

I am the LAST person to talk to about this. I truly hate shopping for clothes, and find that men's fashions are either laughable or make you look like you rolled off the assembly line.

Hm. I may take this advice, and I've heard good things about Joseph A. Bank myself, although I think they might be going out of business.

Pointing out the correct verb form of spell in that sentence would be perfectly polite, for some reason I can't seem to get those right.
“The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that the English language is as pure as a crib-house whore. It not only borrows words from other languages; it has on occasion chased other languages down dark alley-ways, clubbed them unconscious and rifled their pockets for new vocabulary.”

Non iron shirts. Joseph Abboud is good. So is Brooks Brothers. And the zombie is right about JC Penney having good quality shirts. Solid colors are better if you're going for a crazy color. Pattern is tricky. And whatever you do no pleats in the front on pants. It's not flattering.
....now if I could just get Dan to be able to remember that...oh who am I kidding? It's never going to happen. The guy thinks there are 8 colors and that if you have two things that are blue they will of course match. And never mind about complementary and supplementary colors. This leads to awful color combinations that would make others blind to have to look on. So I get dragged along to make sure that doesn't happen. Which would be why I know so much about guy's clothes.

Elucidate, I would know more. One thing that fascinates me about this country is that as the child of immigrants I notice that american history is told very differently in different parts of the country. I wonder if it is true elsewhere.

(If you grew up in Virginia, American history throughout elementry and middle school consisted of the 'the story of P$#@#@^&*(*^&%$hontas'.

I don't understand -do you hate Cameron or avatar? Because the movie was not for everyone, certainly, and I can only stand the man due to this one work.

I will grant you that the visual effects in Avatar are amazing. It was the only thing that made the movie bearable. But the movie as a whole...the words tired and recycled come to mind. Cameron is so preachy and full of himself and he makes these hideously mediocre movies to great critical acclaim....the guy wouldn't know an original idea if it bit him. :/

Just got back from aforementioned rock show. Whoever the promoter is is an idiot. It was advertised as a dual-headlined punk rock show, but what I instead got was a DJ opening for one punk band and one indie band. Also, I was one of precisely two actual punks in the crowd. The rest of the concert-goers were a bunch of hipster f~#+heads. I literally heard someone say they were going to a punk show because it was "ironic."
The first of the headliners, Dem Ghostf#+#ers, were billed as a 'gypsy punk' act, a la Gogol Bordello. In fact, they were more of a cross between Old Crow Medicine Show and a harder-edged version of Voxtrot, though they were still very good. The second headliner, Gyaos, I previously knew to be a surf/noise punk band, and they did not disappoint, rocking very hard for their one-hour slot.
I also experienced what I like to call the pit death of the universe, in which a hipster mosh pit would open up, and then dissipate less than five minutes later, dissolving into hipster seizure-dancing. F@@@ my life.
On the upshot, though, as I said, Gyaos kicked much ass, and I got to meet a few people actually willing to jam sometime next week.
AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! F+~*ing Hipsters! Oh well, at least they are a form of entertainment!

I am going to +1 this and add Kohls. I love me some Kohls.

Interesting -this may sum up my feelings on Whedon after the movie this weekend.
