I find myself worried about the fella on the "Lumberjacket" cover. Clearly up to no good. Emu guy is carefully considering getting it on with Argyle dude.

Buttons vs. zippers be damned... I submit that there is no such thing as a "young" cardigan.

About 8 years ago our local brick and mortar mom and pop main street usa clothing store finally went down for the count. After a splendid 50-80% off sale they shut up the store and eventually it became a Curves franchise.

A few months ago, the owner of the building wanted the basement cleaned out and her friend offered to help out. There had been a wedding or dance or Fireman's Chicken Dinner or something and the tent was still up on the village green over the weekend.

The friend went into the basement of the defunct clothing shop and hauled out hundreds of boxes of clothes and shoes and everything you could imagine that hadn't sold or had been forgotten about, and set it all out under the tent on the green. It was all in miraculous shape. I.e. no mildew or mold or anything. With the exception of the shoes which had that characteristic film of green on improperly stored leather.

There were some great gems and it was "fill a grocery bag for $5." My wife went berserk and brought home tons of shit. She was like a cocaine rat. I went over and filled a bag with Carhartt baseball hats, so I'll not have to buy another hat for at least 20 years.

She also bought me a white cotton knit cardigan with the leather covered buttons...
It's going to good will or Sal's.

Really? I like cardigans.

Let me look to see if there are any young looking ones, hihi.

xoxoxoBruce · 02-12-2010, 12:29 AM

If you don't give a rat's ass what they think, and wear what you want, you're old... or a slob... or in my case, both.

capnhowdy · 02-12-2010, 06:28 AM

Or if you wear what someone else lays out for you.

xoxoxoBruce · 02-13-2010, 11:46 AM

It that case, you might just be rich.

Spexxvet · 02-17-2010, 10:27 AM

Cardigans are warm, but they require that you have a pipe in your mouth while you wear them.

Tulip · 02-19-2010, 04:49 PM

I don't know, but those Victoria's Secret models sure don't look old in cardigans.

Got to love those funny old people jokes though.

Just in case you weren’t feeling too old today:

The people who are starting college this fall were born in 1991.

They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.

Their lifetime has always included AIDS.

The CD was introduced two years before they were born.

They have always had an answering machine.

They have always had cable.

Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.

Popcorn has always been microwaved.

They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.

They don’t know who Mork was or where he was from.

They never heard: ‘Where’s the Beef?’, ‘I’d walk a mile for a Camel’, or ‘de plane, Boss, de plane’.

McDonald’s never came in Styrofoam containers.

They don’t have a clue how to use a typewriter.
