Title: Holy Hell - This is a Thing
Post by: Ben on January 29, 2016, 11:05:29 AM
While perusing the Amazon Lightning Deals this morning, this was being offered. I think it might be worse than a man bun.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B013GD2U0A/ref=gbps_img_s-3_0842_71036c22?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=2338600842&pf_rd_s=slot-3&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_i=gb_main&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0AY8ZNSC58F4JN4P1PBZ



After looking at it I quickly deleted it from my history.  :laugh:

I'm not sure if that's better or worse than a utilikilt.

Do we really want to know the answer to that?

Just a few minutes ago I saw a guy with a mun (man bun) in the cafeteria here at the office.

He also had a freaking hermit's beard down to his waist.

I swear to god, were I a hiring manager, if someone came to me looking like that his resume would go to the bottom of the stack, if not into the can.

I sure as heck would not be paying $ 64 for a pair of capri pants.  I have worn something similar when cross-country skiing, where they make XC skiing knickers.

I would wear a pair of golf knickers also but not capri pants.

Just don't search eBay for "men's suit" and then sort by price, low-to-high.

Absolutely nothing wrong with golf knickers. The finest of gentlemen wear them.  =D

Needs tights, then it can go all colonial in fashion. Time to start selling wig powder and ribbons.

Ich habe einen hübschen Mund.

I'm using Google Translate, so maybe it's making mistakes, but why are some words capitalized inappropriately per english rules?  They're not proper nouns, nor the leading word in a sentence.

German has rather different rules for capitalization. For starters, all nouns are capitalized.

I think some of my coworkers are really closet Krauts. They capitalize everything.

Oh no, you're getting your point across exactly as we would expect from somebody who grew up in Deliverance country.  =D
