The Price of a MistakeApparently it is $102.50. Anyone else want to confess to felonious Fashion Mistakes? posted by Harry Callahan at 11:23 PM
CommentsNot in a comment, I won't...I'd need a whole blog for eBay mistakes. Although in my defense, not ridiculous shit. I have bought shoes in the wrong size INTENTIONALLY just because they were so cute and I just Had To Have Them even if they didn't fit. So I guess that counts, right? Posted by: Beth on November 9, 2005 01:00 AM
Hey, does being first count if Ace didn't write the post? And what's up with this, Harry's blogging clothes, and Laura is blogging NSFW ass? Damn, y'all are confused! Posted by: Beth on November 9, 2005 01:03 AM
Well, I have this off-white lambskin sports jacket I bought for about $500 because I was shopping to get dressed for a company event where the dress code was "resort chic" (whatever that means) and Mrs. Michael (and a hot friend) thought it was really cool . . . Never mind. If I tell the whole story (involving linen pants and silk T-shirts), Laura's going to call me a homo or something. God forbid. Posted by: Michael on November 9, 2005 04:05 AM
Poor guy spent all that money then realized he wasn't gay. Posted by: Alec on November 9, 2005 04:55 AM
Well, I have this off-white lambskin sports jacket I bought for about $500 So I thought, "I didn't know Michael was gay. But now it kind of all makes sense!" but then - and Mrs. Michael (and a hot friend) thought it was really cool . . . So I thought, "Ohhh, he's not gay. Just really wealthy and prone, like most men, to acts of stupidity where hot women are involved." and then - involving linen pants and silk T-shirts So again I'm thinking, "FLAMER!" Actually, I prefer assless leather chaps. Posted by: compos mentis on November 9, 2005 08:12 AM
Obviously the problem here isn't Queen, expensive sports cars, Michael's latent homosexuality, or even that guy on eBay's hideous leather pants. The real problem is the ridiculous extremes we guys will go to get laid. Like your old (and paid for) truck just fine but your lady says "speed turns me on"? Boom! Hello, sports car payment. Overhear your sister's hottie friend mention that guys with long, curly hair make her wet? Boom! There you are at Visible Changes contemplating a perm and highlights. It's sad, really, but I'll tell you what: God sure knew what he was doing when he gave women vaginas, b/c without them men wouldn't put up with their shit for one second. But with 'em? We'd do friggin' anything -- and I mean anything -- to get us some. Damn, we're lame. Posted by: Blacksheep on November 9, 2005 08:50 AM
Sad, funny, and true Blacksheep. LOL! (in Homer Simpson voice) Mmmmm . . . vaginas! Posted by: compos mentis on November 9, 2005 08:56 AM
A little girl and boy were showing each other their privates and the little boy points to his penis and teases the little girl that she does not have one. The little girl then points to her vagina and says I have one of these and I can get as many of those as I want. Posted by: polynikes on November 9, 2005 09:19 AM
That was hilarious! You men kill me. (don't forget the power of the boobs as well!) When I was in third grade I decided to wear this frilly red dress with white stockings. I looked like some freaky valentines day card come hideously to life. From then on I followed the KISS rule. Keep It Simple and Solid. It hasn't failed me yet. I have avoided all those plaids over the years that look like tablecloths. I have avoided the leopard skin look that only really works for 80's metal bands. I have avoided the big sweaters with the huge designs on them where one seems to be a walking piece of bad art. Remember..fashion trends are really only ways of making us laugh at old photographs. Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on November 9, 2005 09:20 AM
"Remember..fashion trends are really only ways of making us laugh at old photographs." That is TRUELY profound. It also gave me my first laugh of the day. Thankyou Rightwingsparkle. Posted by: rabidfox on November 9, 2005 09:29 AM
I've never really been one to take a fashion risk, but I am a little chagrined to admit that I knew DKNY was the brand label for "Donna Karan New York". In my defense, I do have teen-aged daughters. Posted by: Dave in Texas on November 9, 2005 09:30 AM
Why do I get the feeling the seller goes by "Ace," and the girl he was trying to impress is named "Karol?" Posted by: Bill from INDC on November 9, 2005 09:32 AM
And "DKNY" is deceptive about being a "Donna Karan" brand, rather, it's the cheap step-brother brand of Donna Karan that was sold off to another company, which makes cheaper clothes yet still keeps the implied upscale association with full-on "Donna Karan." I mean, so I read somewhere. Once. Posted by: Bill from INDC on November 9, 2005 09:35 AM
Dave and Bill had better start talking about football or killing, gutting, and eating a warthog before people get the impression that Dave's daughters are an adopted front and INDC shows he likes it 'IN D Can.' Posted by: compos mentis on November 9, 2005 09:45 AM
Bill taking it in the stinky starfish would explain a lot but I don't think it's likely. I had a David Byrne-style jacket with padded shoulders. That's my first and last fashion brainfart My closet is about as exciting as Dick Cheney's. Posted by: spongeworthy on November 9, 2005 09:52 AM
it's the cheap step-brother brand of Donna Karan No shit? I mean, I think the Longhorns are headed for the Rose Bowl, don't you? Kansas and A&M should be no problems at all. Posted by: Dave in Texas on November 9, 2005 09:55 AM
Looking back now, there probably would have only been a slight difference in working out naked or working out in my spandex shorts. Posted by: Polynikes on November 9, 2005 10:06 AM

1989 + Summer job + Chess King = $210 worth of Z. Cavaricci brushed cotton zoot suit pants with impossibly baroque belt loops. Posted by: tachyonshuggy on November 9, 2005 11:09 AM

tachyonshuggy - that would probably be funny if I knew wtf you were talking about. Time to google. Posted by: compos mentis on November 9, 2005 11:23 AM
Leg warmers and ripped up t-shirts like in Flashdance. Posted by: Lipstick on November 9, 2005 12:21 PM
This is all going to appear in the AoSHQ Gay movie. Post at your own peril. Posted by: on November 9, 2005 02:00 PM
This one time when I was in New Orleans many years ago, I saw a shirt that had Popeye and Olive Oyle. The caption read "Well blow me down". And they were doing something that made the caption mean something different than it usually does. (And, to answer your follow-up question, his forearms aren't the only thing on him shaped funny) Did I buy that shirt? No. And that's the biggest fashion mistake of my life. Posted by: Famous J on November 9, 2005 02:59 PM
Famous J, Well, it was a mistake only if you never wanted a girlfriend. ;-) Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on November 9, 2005 03:45 PM

Oh no! Hamas' de facto press agent at the UN complains that she can't use her credit cards or rent a card now that she's been sanctioned as a terrorist operative
Why does this keep happening to members of the "political organization" (per Tucker Carlson) of Hamas?!?!
Tucker Carlson claims that it's weird that Ted Cruz is interested in the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, because he has "no track record of being interested in Christians," then blows off the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, saying it might or might not be a real concern
Tucker Carlson enjoys using the left-wing tactic of "Tactical Ignorance" to avoid taking positions on topics. Is Hamas really a terrorist organization? Tucker can't say. He hasn't looked into it enough, but "it seems like a political organization to me." Are Muslims slaughtering Christians in Nigeria? Again, Tucker just doesn't know. He hasn't examined the evidence yet. He knows every Palestinian Christian who said he was blocked from visiting holy sites in Bethlehem, but he just hasn't had the time to look into the mass slaughter of Christians in Nigeria that has been going on since (checks watch) 2009. He doesn't know, so he can't offer an opinion. Wouldn't be prudent, you know? Don't rush him! He'll sift through the evidence at some point in the future and render an opinion sometime around 2044. Of course, if you need an opinion on Jewish Perfidy, he has all the facts at his fingertips and can give you a fully informed opinion pronto. Say, have you ever heard of the USS Liberty incident...? You'd think that the main issue for Tucker Carlson, who pretends to be so deeply concerned about Palestinian Christians being bullied by Jews in Israel (supposedly), would be the massacre of 185,000 Christians in Nigeria itself. But no, his main problem is that Ted Cruz is talking about it, "who has no track record of being interested in Christians at all." And then he just shrugs as to whether this is even a real issue or not. Whatever we do we must never "divide the right," huh? Tucker is attacking Ted Cruz for bringing the issue up because he's acting as an apologist for Jihadism, and he can't cleanly admit that Jihadists are killing any Christians, anywhere. There is no daylight between him and CAIR at this point. One might conclude that Tucker Carlson himself isn't interested in the plight of Christians -- except as they can be used as a cudgel to attack Jews. Just gonna ask an Interesting Question myself -- why is it that Tucker Carlson's arguments all track with those shit out by Qatarian propaganda agents and the far left? That if Jews crush an ant underfoot it is worldwide news, but when Muslims slaughter Christians it elicits not even a vigorous shrug?
Garth Merenghi is interviewed by the only man who can fathom his ineffable brilliance -- Garth Merenghi
From the comments: I once glimpsed Garth in the penumbra betwixt my wake and sleep. He was in my dream, standing afar, not looking my way, nor did he acknowledge me. But I felt seen. And that's when I knew I was a traveler on the right path. I'm glad he's still with us. Now that's some Merenghian prose. Garth Merenghi on the writer's craft Greetings, Traveler. If you still have not experienced Garth Merenghi -- Author, Dream-weaver, Visionary, plus Actor -- the six episodes of his Darkplace are still available on YouTube and supposedly upscaled to HD. (Viewing it now, it doesn't appeared upscaled for shit.) I think the second episode, "Hell Hath Fury," is the best by a good margin. Try to at least watch through to that one. It's Mereghi's incisive but nuanced take on sexism.
Update on Scott Adams:
Scott Adams had approval for this cancer drug but they hadn't scheduled him to get it. He was taking a turn for the worse. Trump had told him to call if he needed anything, so he did. Talked to Don Jr (who is in Africa) , then RFK Jr, then Dr Oz. Someone talked to Kaiser and he was scheduled. Shouldn't have needed it but he did and he says it saved his life.

Kamala admits she didn't have the stamina to run for president, while continuing to insist he had the mental capacity to serve as president. He was too frail to run but perfectly strong enough to govern. Yeah sure whatever lying whore.

According to Grok, Latrine John-Pissoir has never failed to mention she is "black" (or "queer") during her book interviews
She may not know what the hell her book is about, but she definitely knows that "every day I wake up black and queer." Join the club, sister!
Schmoll: 53% of New Jersey likely voters say their neighbors are voting for Ciattarelli, while 47% say the cheater/grifter Mikie Sherrill
The "who do you think your neighbors are voting for" question is designed to avoid the Shy Tory problem, wherein conservative people lie to schmollsters because they don't want to go on record with a likely left-winger telling them who they're really voting for. So instead the question is who do you think your neighbors are voting for, so people can talk about who they themselves support without actually having to admit it to a left-wing rando stranger recording their answers on the phone.

Interesting football history: How the forward pass was created in response to the nineteen -- 19! -- people killed playing football in 1905 alone
The original rules of football did not allow forward passes. The ball was primarily advanced by running, with blockers forming lines with interlocked arms and just smashing into the similarly-interlocked defensive lines. It was basically Greek hoplite spear formations but with a semi-spherical ball. As calls to ban the sport entirely grew, some looked for ways to de-emphasize mass charges as the primary means of advancing the ball, and some specifically championed allowing a passer to throw the ball forward.
