Love Letters
Put on some lipstick and seal it with a kiss. On the inside of the letter if you want it to be a surprise, or on the outside of the envelope if you want his buddies to tease him about it.- Feng_Li

The Elements of (not so good) Style
Tongue slightly in cheek, I would point out that there are multiple agreed conventions in mathematics, as in language. "+ 2 2 4 =" may not work, but "+ 2 2" would be a perfectly valid example of Prefix notation. Similarly, "2 2 +" would also work, and "6 2 2 * +" can get you 10. It merely...- Feng_Li

How often do you dry clean?
I think "once a season" is based on the assumption that it will put into storage the rest of the year. Clean wool is less likely to attract moths. -
Bad Table Manners
I have rarely observed an American who put mustard on his meat, unless it was in a sandwich. I find this odd, because it can be very tasty - just ask all those Southerners who make barbeque sauce with a mustard base. Cody Pendant is entirely correct in his other two statements. Steak should...- Feng_Li

What's Your Take on Modern Men's Fashion (Not Talkin About Tieless Busi- Casual Crap)
Have you actually read any of my posts? I have very specifically addressed your questions. They are quoted above my responses. DerMann has done the same. Dress as flashily as you like. That doesn't necessarily make it bad or wrong, but if it doesn't adhere to the conventions of formality... -
What's Your Take on Modern Men's Fashion (Not Talkin About Tieless Busi- Casual Crap)
Perhaps you could give some example of what you consider "variety" and "new stuff." Several posters have given examples of variety in men's clothing, but they do not seem to meet your criteria. This discussion would be easier if we knew what you meant. Do some searching around the forum. You...
