I kind of have that approach with buying sunglasses, though.  Won't dare buy an expensive pair, as I would lose or break them within a few weeks.

The existence of Mexicans precludes buying expensive sunglasses. Everyone knows that.

Heh, the normalization of gays in Toronto proceeds apace. Latest example: the Toronto Transit Commission has issued a special Gay Pride Parade family metropass - good for up to two adults and four children.

Are you friend with Martinus on Facebook? If yes, do share it there too. It will balance out is Russia's gays are the Jews of Nazi Germany Bullshit articles.

NY is the mecca of discount clothing shopping. 

So true!

OTOH, you can walk down 5th and have a heart attack at the prices for luxury stuff. A purse for $20K? 

A land of extremes.

[Sheilbh]

I need to buy a suit.

Any advice? Can't say I've needed to do that since my graduation.

I hear short suit pants are in these days.

So help me God, I will hunt you down.

I was thinking that, out there, there are folks to whom you and I are as Tyr.

Wow, short suit pants must *really* be in - they attract people from other countries!

Must get myself a set.

I saw a guy this morning wearing a suit, dress shoes and no socks.

As he passed by I couldnt help myself, I looked (down on him) right in the eye and said "Really?" as I pointed to his bare ankles.   He was about to say something back, thought better of it and trundled on.

I reflected on the fact I was channelling Sheiblh's intolerance for such things.

We call that 'Italian socks', luckily it's suitably rare.

Tacky men's fashion coming from Italy?  Shocking.

He could have just been fired and peed himself in the process. And you tried to shame the man. 

[Caliga]

Someone who pees themselves when fired is no man, mongers. *shakes head sadly*

[DGuller]

Somebody who, when peeing himself, manages to only wet his socks, is a very talented individual.  In my experience, it is invariably a very messy process.
