Jolt Country vs Clothing & Apparel!

The downside -- one of the downsides -- of being the kind of guy who will crack open a comic book is that you sort of pick up on how the costumes are all the same and start to think the same is OK for your life.

Well, I'm not hitting anyone with batons (this is true: I have so far only struck inanimate objects) and I don't have any arch-enemies. Therefore, it's time to give a little upgrade to the wardrobe. Also: Autumn is coming!

Anyway, there's nothing but top-shelf honeys within the sound of this text. Even Muffsweet isn't so frigid once she's had a couple pops and you get over the fact that as a vicious man-hater, she's got over 1200 dildos and vibrators in her walk-in closet. So I'm interested in all your opinions.

Some things to consider:

o I hate wearing short-sleeved shirts. I only own a few of them, and even when I am decked out in those it's usually with a thinner long-sleeve shirt on underneath it. (I know, I know, he's a s8r boi, she said c u l8r boi. Shaddap.)

o I, much like the prostitutes I frequent, normally find myself in the colors black & blue. I have been toying with possibly dying my hair again for reasons outside the scope of this thread, but if I don't, those colors seem to work because I have dark hair and blue eyes. Actually, maybe it doesn't work. Fuck, what do I know? I'm just saying. Yellow and greens definitely do not work, which is why I had to leave the Green Bay Packers.

o Links to appropriate net.shops are fine, and I can go browse from there.

Thanks in advance. I'd offer to do the same for all the girls on this BBS, but I unfortunately think that all it would become is me recommending they get some form of Michelle Pfiefer's "catsuit" from Batman Returns. And how funny can that concept be, really.

You look like you fell off the fashion tree and hit every branch of f'ing ugly on the way down. Advice? You don't need advice, you need a priest. A pastor. Someone who can work miracles. Your current look is what we like to call "comfortably crappy." Burn your 'wardrobe' and then kill yourself.

Oh... hey. Thanks. Not sure when we've met in real life, but either way, I appreciate that.

Still want to hear from people, but that was really nice of you to say, SE.

I like this place for T-shirts. I am sure you could find some online Jersey shops. I am not the person to ask I guess.

Couldn't let this thread go by without this going noticed:

Ok, I fucking forgot how to link shit so that the actual link is something like "this" or "this link" or whatever you lowborns think is creative.

Hah, Jonsey, I stayed up later than you.

I am pretty well stocked on t-shirts. But don't think that for a moment I wasn't completely horrified by your suggestions, both of you. I was. Oh, how I was.

Hey, now, I lasted until 5:00am mountain time. That's not so bad seeing how I woke at 8:30am on Friday. I've got the stamina of Plastic Man, not to mention a few other things in common with him as well, natch.

I think Roody could pull that one off.

That's... not bad at all. I wouldn't wear it out in public, alone, by itself, but... but, no, I have to remain strong here.

There's some douchebag who is going around rating all the baseball stadiums for ESPN.com right now. I call him a douchebag because he gave the Skydome like a 68, which is so wrong for so many reasons. Anyway, this guy also casually lets out a crack like "at what age should you no longer be wearing jerseys out in public? I'm thinking close to thirty." I reeled. I had never heard anything like this before. There's a very good chance that the trip I took down the strip in the Recchi jersey may be that thing's last public appearance. It kills me to say that.

Ah well, no matter. When in doubt, I'll just attempt to look like "Case" in the Neuromancer graphic novel. That's a timeless look.

I'd wear that shirt if it didn't mention any sort of 'force' and if it said something about hating my country.

I'm not much for themed t-shirts except for homestar runner one's. I haven't even bought any of those yet. I do want the one that says "I have a crush on every boy". That's by far the best one.

I'd rather wear a shirt with solid colors. I am big on dark reds.

I had my speakers on, as Pinner had sent me an MP3 to listen to a little while ago.

Going to that site with speakers on.... I'm going to take a pass on calling that a "recommended and quality Internet experience."

I should have warned you that the sound is really loud. It's a really obnoxious site but much better than getting sent to a picture of a goatse.

Oh and by the way, did you ever buy a hawaiian shirt?

Ice Cream Jonsey · Post by **Ice Cream Jonsey** » Sun Aug 17, 2003 3:15 pm

Nah, I didn't. I'll get the one there that looks like the GTA:VC shirt one of these days, but not having the shirt for the CGE didn't exactly get in my way of feeling like I was kicking about in the game for a moment or two.

I like the fact that it caters to the smaller youth of America by offering a youth medium. There's nothing like walking into JR. High School and displaying this fine piece of americana.

It may kill you, but that may be the greatest single bit of news I've read in the past year.

OK, maybe the past month. Or perhaps since the power came back on.

Still, the idea of that ragged old thing (and we don't care about how you ordered it from some place and how it's a "legit" thing rather than a cheap knockoff) never being seen in public again is something about which we can all rejoice. I say that you hide it better than Saddam hid his WOMD. In fact, if we ever capture Osama and he's not wearing your jersey, I'm going to be very disappointed.

The dude - regardless of whether he knows a good stadium from a bad one - is on the right track - and remember, being a writer for a sports mag means that he's a lot more forgiving that your average human being. For the rest of us, I would say that the day you get your high school diploma would be the last day that you can get away with wearing a jersey in public. I mean, really, you might as wear a goddamned "cat in the hat" hat or walk around with one of those "invisible dogs on a leash" to match the incredible aura of uncool that accompanies a jersey.

That's real nice.

Consider, however, that I don't consider slumming at your house watching "Re-Animator" to be "public."

Anyway, it's not the jersey you remember. The jersey I used to wear all the time didn't have a name or number on it. I don't wear that any longer because I can't do anything but picture Trish in it when I see it. The old one is hanging up in my closet and everything, but... I don't look upon those days with anger or anything, not any longer, but it was time to get another one.

(Regardless of how good or how bad a girlfriend Trish was, and how good or bad the time we had together was, the one undeniable fact about her is that she looked better in a hockey jersey than any other girl on the planet.)

The one I am currently talking about has the name & number stiched on it. It's a hi-quality garment that no female has ever been ensnared within.

For the rest of us, I would say that the day you get your high school diploma would be the last day that you can get away with wearing a jersey in public.

I disagree, about as strongly as a person can disagree with any statement. I would object more to this one than I would "black is really white."

I mean, really, you might as wear a goddamned "cat in the hat" hat or walk around with one of those "invisible dogs on a leash" to match the incredible aura of uncool that accompanies a jersey.

Wha? Jerseys are the epitome of cool. Why do you think every black guy who has recorded an album in the last ten years has had one on in his video? That's a trend, by the way, which isn't going anywhere.

...

... Well, this thread has been a collosal failure. It could guard Rhodes the way it is right now. I will take care of this shit off-line and the next time any of you see me you'll be all "Hey. Nice threads, Jonsey," and I'll sneer and give you the finger.

You asked for fashion advise HERE? You do like to live dangerously.

LOUD HAWIIAN SHIRTS IN 100% SILK

(get the ones that looks like Don Ho threw up on them)

DIFFERENT MISMATCHED SOCKS

(just buy a 15 pack of white and dye them)

ANYTHING ELSE IS OPTIONAL

This ensemble works for me...Did I mention that I own an aardvark baseball hat? Reg'lar hat with a stuffed aardvark's head on the front of it. Works for me..

I just clean clothes when they smell like mildew, shit, or rot. I wear them until that happens. I had a few trashed pairs of pants that I would patch up and wear solely for the purpose of praticing sowing. I mainly wear jeans, khaki's (Never ironed, my mom says that's bad), cords, or shorts(jean shorts, short shorts, and stupid skater shorts I bought eight years ago) with a shirt of various varieties (t-shirt, long sleeve, sweaters, polo shirts, and button up shirts some plaid).

I really just wear what I can get obviously on a hot day I prefer a t-shirt and on a cold day I do not prefer one in favor of a coat. If I don't have proper dress I don't care. I wear slipper/moccasins regularly because I enjoy wearing them. My mom finally gave me shit over my garrish fashion sense so I ripped the padding out of my sneakers and wear those without socks lately. Though I am planning on picking up a pair of Deerskin or something really nice.
