*Not Lance Armstrong. Think Hank Azaria in The Birdcage.

ETA - A lot of fat old men seem to fancy linen also.

ETA2 - Linen looks good on drunks and Peter O'Toole. Its also OK if you're the governor of a Carribean protectorate.

On whom does seersucker look good? Whenever I see a guy in a seersucker suit I think somebody left his house in his pj's. A house without a loving wife. Gentlemen who reside well south of the Mason-Dixon line who possess an indescribable old-fashioned southern gentility get a pass.

Linen can look very good on the right man, but I think you're right, most linen shirts you can buy in a department store seem to be cut for the fat man on vacation.

It's absolutely unbearable. I was watching the game the other night and after the 10th time I said "shut up" (like 3 minutes) I couldn't take it anymore and had to turn the volume down.

I hate seersucker. We've had this discussion.
So, in my search for a picture of Crocket in a linen suit - one that's not pink, I find this.



Did we know they were doing remake of Miami Vice with Colin Farrel?

In addition, I found this...a Simple Life ripoff

Why would you want to rip it off - without Paris?

Chassez le naturel, il revient au galop ! Anne-Marie et Jacynthe profitent d'une fête au village pour parader. Après les festivités, une visite anodine au dépanneur s'avèrera riche en émotions pour nos deux filles… de quoi convaincre Anne-Marie de ne jamais voyager sans son tue-mouche !

Vient le moment de quitter la famille Laplume pour retourner dans la grande ville. Les adieux seront-ils difficiles ou empreints de soulagement ?

On my kid, but then, everything does. He's outgrown it now, but last year and the year before he wore a seersucker suit for Easter, complete with bow tie. I can send you a pic if you'd like.

I find nearly all televised sports unbearable for this reason. Tennis is a notable exception. (I would add golf, but televised golf is unbearable despite the dulcet tones of the commentators.)

Why do sportscasters scream even though they have microphones and earpieces? I know in some cases, they may be in loud stadiums, but shouldn't they learn to modulate?

(And before I expanded my sports-viewing activities, I thought nobody could be worse than Scott Hamilton at figure skating championships.)

UGH that is just repulsive. Is he supposed to be a bad guy? Because he looks like a bad guy. Way, way sleazier than Crockett or Tubbs ever looked.

I had a vague recollection of that. But seeing the picture - enh. They could have done more with the hair. Like trim it maybe.

RT, I love you to death, but please don't put links to things that are extremely upsetting to me without at least giving a hint. while some people think this story might be kinda sad, its the kinda thing that could make me weep after the week I have had. Yes, I could have not hit the link, but I figured it might be the obit of some E-list celeb or something kinda amusing. I just did my taxes on PMS after putting in a brutal week and having someone take ill in my family. So please spree the dead baby elephants in the future. I would really appreciate it.

Agreed. I didn't click on the link because I didn't know it was about dead baby elephants. That rocks. Are they as tasty as lamb, veal and kid? On a related note, I am looking forward to eating guinea pigs in Peru in June.

I think that time has distorted your memory.

Cheesy vs. sleazy. They rhyme, but are not the same.

Yeah. Fuck him and the bike he rode in on.

Tyler Hamilton too.

Wow. Maybe I don't care so much about no OLN. I think I'll spend my summer watching Bonds chase Ruth and Aaron.

Definitely cheesy.

And a horrible drunk by all local accounts from Nash Bridges - a show I never watched.

He's Crockett. Foxx is Tubbs.
