Random questions to which you seek an answer

Thanks Urb, in that case I'll either get a 10 and rock heavy socks or just skip all together. The price is really good though, so a temptation they remain.

@Chris:

That works for leather laces, but will it work for these?

I was assuming they were the two-toned leather laces as seen in eg. Red Wings and OSBs, as I said earlier on…

want a pair of jeans, here's what i would like:

indigo in color,
  weight of denim or weave where i can wear them at least 3 seasons out the year
  mid-rise to show the least amount of a$$ crack when bending down, but not so high that my current gut protests,
  thigh (12.5" to 13" ish),  leg opening (7.5" ish) after being altered to about 31" or so
  back pockets not huge, sorry kind of random but i hate really big back pockets

any ideas mucho appreciated.  brand of denim doesn't really matter, just looking for that cut

[Finn666]

^right there with you mate…would be a dope cut to have!

[Chris]

That's one hell of a taper, but how about the Flat Head 3012?  Seems like it might hit on most of your criteria.

Taper? They sound like carrot fit jeans  :-\

thanks chris.

i guess i'm kind of carrot shaped & so carrot fit jeans are my preference for the moment.  thanks for that link mega, but those back pockets are pretty awful & huge looking . . . entire top block looks horrible.

think i'm gonna butcher my 25oz BB as they are just sitting here & i'm too stubborn to sell . . .

[Megatron1505]

Illustrative purposes only MM, I would never advise a purchase from that link, ha ha

Your MBB butchery sounds like a plan to me.

Edit: Talk to Rafa, I think he did something similar with his.

[madmonday]

Oh my, I've been placed in the same category as Finn. Thanks, but not sure what I've done to sully my name to that point, hahahhaha

Alright boys help guide my moral compass
I had this buddy
He got a girl friend
Stopped answer his phone
Stopped responding to texts
But he still talked to my folks
A lot
And then fucked my old man over on a fairly large deal
So two years later I got this text

What should my course of action here be?
Am I wrong to be offended by this?
Does this seem odd to anyone else?
Help me out boys

[seanocono]

Who asks that in a text?

You could ask him to square things with your dad, but I don't think this dude is even worth taking the time to respond.

[Giles]

Yeah, feck that…..

[501IH]

Wow-this sounds as if out of a movie or novel.

You are surely not wrong to be offended, that's putting it mildly.

Ignoring it seems the obvious course, unless you feel you could either achieve something regarding this "deal" where he wronged your dad, or, on a totally different front, regarding your own closure about the loss of a friend. I'd sleep a night or two over it, do what you do, namely consult a few people I trust (ideally including someone who knows you and that guy personally) and then make up my mind.

@Giles:

Yeah, feck that…..

this! i wouldn't even answer the message…

[Seul]

Go to the wedding wearing nothing but diapers. Drink all the champagne. Fling your shit at the bride. Leave.

[Seul]

I mean this isn't Wittgenstein!..

[madmonday]

simple, "Red Wedding"

[seawolf]

Yeah, the guy is obviously a douche. Just ignore it and wait for him to go through the proper channels, i.e. picking up the phone like an adult and asking you, at the very least.

[natehate]

yeah i thought his message should have been wanna grab a beer some time?
hahaha
thats where i'd start

[madmonday]

Depending on your previous relationship with dude maybe you should be the bigger man and respond with, "let's grab a beer",  or whatever you'll used to bond over. . .
