Also, tuxes and watches don't mix.

And you should wear the cumberbund with the folds up, so that you can place your opera tickets in them.

I haven't worn my tux in ~10 years, and would have to pull it out to see how it looks. I think it would fit just fine (woo hoo!), but it might look kinda dated.

I have a friend who got married many, many years ago in a very 80s tux and who wears it out every year on his anniversary.

I lost 20 pounds since I last wore my tux (3 or 4 years ago) and I'm coming up on having to wear it. if not taken in, the pants will be hanging low, exposing my boxers. Can I pull that off- I mean, has that look crossed over into formal wear yet?

What, will you be the "Kriss-Kross" of formal wear?

So, now that the Tour has been made meaningless and uninteresting, what should I watch once the World Cup is over?

I disagree. I would rather watch a fair event without the dopers. Let's learn who is the truly the second-best (after Lance) without help. It is only uninteresting and meaningless because you only know the "stars" that the media has sold you, and they are the equivalent of Bonds, Giambi, McGuire and Palmeiro. You were only interested, and only found meaning, in a rigged game. Did you also enjoy Danny Almonte's Little League games?

I don't mind if doping is legalized and accepted (and eventually surgical and genetic augmentation), but it should be a separate league for people those who do from those who don't. The athletes that gave the race meaning and interest to you were (alleged) cheats, and that reeks to me of NFH, thinking that insect stick figures that cannot be achieved by one woman in a million are beauty because Entertainment Tonight says so.

I have no problem rooting out the dopers, and conducting a fair event without them.

I do have three problems with how this has been handled.

First, it's unclear to me how strong the evidence is, yet teams are being pressured to withdraw their riders.

Second, the riders will not be replaced, so the race will start significantly short-handed. Individual riders may succeed more because the rest of their team remains intact than because of their skill and talent, helped by a full team.

Third, it's being done on eve of the race, not sufficiently in advance for the race to come off as well-organized.

For comparison, I see this as equivalent to, say, suspending half of the players on a football team the eve before the playoffs, simply for suspicion of steriod use. While in the long run, the effort will result in a better sport, the short-term effect is to make a circus of the event.

should we have a house rule that comparing someone to NFH is an equivalent of calling them hitler?

They should have hi-def postgame coverage of the riots breaking out right now between German and English supporters in those cute little "fan zones" across the country.

Was it just me (and the 3 friends I was sitting with) or did one German player give the Nazi Salute after scoring his goal?

I only saw the overtime/penalties part. You should ask Mr. Beer Hall Putsch about the rest of the game.

It was right after he converted his penalty kick. Maybe the third one.

I'm leaving and watching the next game over at _______. It's not a pub, but give me a call and let me know if you want to join, if you can escape your sweatshop.

*eta: Better yet, shoot me an email.

It looked like the fist pump that Tiger does when he hits a put.

Apropos of nothing, I am a big fan of certain countries and regions having the "the" in front of their names. The Ukraine. The Sudan. The Punjab. Etc.
