Calvin Klein's "slim fit" line is tapered so that there isn't excess fabric around the waist that billows out. The shirt's also cut with enough room that it doesn't look like a disco shirt or something.

The problem with David Cross on AD is that his lines are conventional. His "Tobias Funke" character could be a two-dimensional gay-in-denial punchline in every execrable faux-edgy sitcom made today (e.g., "Committed" or "Will & Grace").

In comparison to the thoroughly unconventional characters on AD (GOB, George Michael, Maebe and Buster), Cross's character is just a string of double entendres.

Bateman still has the best lines, though. All-time best (from last season): "Is it just me, Linds, or does this rape room have the exact same layout as our kitchen?"

He had the confidence thing going for him. Same thing with short guys who have the balls to wear double breasted suits (when those suits are in style that is).

Bullshit. I've been wearing seersucker suits for years. I even wear the things to court. Its got nothing to do with confidence. I just like the way it looks and the fact that nobody else wears it.

And its the only suit that must be worn without socks. I fucking hate socks.

ETA: A short, fat ugly guy with confidence is still short fat and ugly.

ETA2: Oh, and why if you're tall is it not OK to be full of confidence? Historically, I have had many people tell me "Oh, you're very, uh... self assured" which clearly means "You're arrogant or aloof." But I bet if I were a short fat little fucker, they'd tell me "Oh, its so refreshing that you have such confidence." Fucking discriminatory bastards. When you're tall its not Ok to have a little self confidence? I should shrink from people and hide my personality? Perhaps let the short fat guy hold the floor, so everyone can bask in his stunning confidence... his wonderful achievement over physical shortcomings? Fuck him.

Arrested development- how great is this show when th- I couldnt believe they said "next season, on AD". 1) Its over? 2) they mock that there might not be a next season? there will (or is it a done deal td Crohere will be one- or do they assume comedy central will pick it up? or bravo?

I agree with Scatticus that there is a such thing as too muchign David Cross (even when he politely ignores RPs' seinfeldesque heclking). and i think Gob is my favorite character. But Buster drunk was a serious second best. Mom's still got it?

ETA that I am having offsite issues with the mouse, and was gonna fix this but even I dont know what I meant in parts.

I enjoy the AD. I also enjoy how it pisses on the "arc." There is no linear storyline to the show, which probably confounds a lot of would be viewers who'd prefer to be spoon fed the traditional "Joke starts at beginning and then comes around to punchline at end" sitcom pap. That said, AD has veered a bit too far into absurdity. I didn't think much of the seal biting off the hand story. But on the whole, even when it shits the bed, AD is 5X better than 90% of television.

I was bitching about this a few years back, and fumbling for a word to describe the excess fabric dilemna. A wife's friend said "thats called 'blousing.'" I use it now when I buy shirts. "Yeh, I'd like a shirt that doesn't blouse." Its a nice way to convey "I'm high maintenance in regard to my clothes, so don't try to sell me any tired iron."

What's with the fucking clothes guys pushing purple so hard? I'm not wearing a fucking purple dress shirt. I don't give a fuck who in France thinks its the new style. Ain't fucking happening. They've been trying to sell me that shit for three years now, and its fucking annoying. "Purple is the new 'in' color!" Fuck you. Just go and get me the fucking shirt I asked for, asshole.

Don't be too hasty- when you wear seersucker to court, a purple shirt just might take attention away from the no socks thing.

I think everyone thinks the short arrogant guy has Little Man's Disease.

If you weren't such a tall arrogant motherfucker I'd say you were quite the little spitfire this morning.

I could just eat him up.

(I know it wouldn't do anything for him, but I'd enjoy it.)

On a related note, Dockers' new "package fit" khakis are cut to accentuate a sculpted and perfectly-toned ass. The pants are also cut with a little extra room in front to avoid suffocating your mammoth love anaconda.

I looked through a J.Crew catalog for the first time since law school, and seersucker blazers (and blazers in general) were everywhere. My local English bar here (where I am now 4-5 years older than the average clientele -- this used to be MY place!) has 23-yr old dorks wearing blazers all the effing time. I was lucky to not put my 3/4 length t-shirt on backwards at that age. You shouldn't dress up for a place that sells Boddingtons.
