You're in luck Zach, that style is back in right now. If nothing else, you can say you set fashion trends.
Well, hell, that's why they don't throw me out.
I dress just like this except for the vest:
I think a vest would hide the long john top with holes everywhere. I also wear cotton gym shorts from 1997 with non matching thread that Lucy tried to sew trying to hide all the holes. Of course, in winter I wear sweat pants that are 12 years old. I've shrunk an inch in height since then so I roll up the waist band (showing the tag) so I don't trip on the bottoms.
Oh lord, Oh lord. It reminds me of one of the girls I dated between marriages. She said, "We're going shopping. Give me your damn Visa card." She made me buy some decent clothes. Still wearing them. But don't tell Lucy about this.

FWIW, Earnest T. is one of my heros...
I recently read one of his interviews done just before he died. He decided to make the character talk in rhymes.
"It's me, it's me...It's Earnest T."
"I ain't talkin, I ain't talkin, the more you axe the more I'm balkin."
I think his ultimate gift to literature was his song to his beloved. These are the lyrics that always bring a tear to my eye:
Old Aunt Mariah, jump in the fi-ah,
Fire too hot, jump in the pot,
Pot too black, jump in the crack,
Crack too high, jump in the sky,
Sky too blue, jump in canoe,
Canoe too shallow, jump in the tallow,
Tallow too soft, jump in the loft,
Loft too rotten, jump in the cotton,
Cotton so white she stay there all night.

Zach, the richest guy I know dresses like a vagrant, maybe shaves once a week, but when he talks everyone listens.
Normal b'fast: ham on my homemade onion rye bread.
Wife got up with me: egg beater omelet on my onion rye bread.
Found salmon at a good price: gravlax (sm. salmon), cr. cheese, red onion on my onion rye.
Maybe a leftover hamburger sometimes, occasionally cheese grits.
River Road decaf from whole beans, OJ.

Other than sports, there's nothing on TV I'd rather watch that Andy Griffith. The black and white ones anyway. Once they got into color, Opie got growed up, Aunt Bee got fatter, and they started putting too much Howard Sprague on there. A little bit of Howard goes a long way imo.
I usually eat breakfast about 3 times a week. When I do it's bacon and and eggs at the house. Either that or I'll whip in the Ridge Run In on the way to work and have Mrs. 'Teen construct me a sausage and egg biscuit.

Off the camera the nicest person was Floyd the barber. Everyone hated Aunt Bea. She was a bitch.

It's not as good as it was in it's glory days, but it's still pretty good. They've changed owners a couple times over the last few years.

I don't eat breakfast. I don't wake up early enough for breakfast, and when I do wake up early (for me), it's because I have class so I wake up 30 minutes before and head straight to class
My first bite of the day yesterday was at 5:30PM.
I don't wake up hungry. The only times I eat breakfast is breakfast for supper, when someone makes it for me or if I'm on vacation or a business trip and I've had to get up really early such that breakfast is 2 or 3 hours after that.
I'm eating a little Calvin's chicken salad with original fritos right now and it's the first thing I've eaten today. I don't eat lunch most of the time either. I might have peanut butter crackers along the way, but much of the time, I don't eat anything until maybe late afternoon. I just don't think about it. Now, if I go out of town, I'm hungry the minute I leave the driveway or board the plane. I will eat 2 meals a day on trips if I'm presented with the opportunity.

Here's mine:
I walk into Starbucks at 6:30 a.m. The girls all say "Hi, Zach." I say "Hey, babes." They have already started my order since they saw my car pull up.
Quad espresso, oatmeal with dried fruit, USA Today, Blue berry muffin to take home for the wife. Girl rings it up at 8 bucks and change. I hand over the Gold Card. She swipes it.
I walk over to the bar and open 4 packets of white sugar. Sometimes I have to say "Hey, Aerial, no milk canisters out here. Hand them over the counter and I'll set them up for you."
"Thanks, Zach, here ya go."
I sit in the comfy chair and read the paper while having oatmeal and coffee. Occasionally I look up at the Bible meeting of about 8 guys saying stuff like "So, since Jesus got angry, should we get angry too?"
I leave the paper so the next patron doesn't have to buy it. The girls say "Bye, Zach."
I have done this every day 365 days a year for the past 4 years. I love routine.
Zach, I'm not sure I would like you IRL, but you are a quality poster

You would love me IRL. Picture an old college faculty lounge, like U. of Okla. back in the 60s. Lots of dark wood. Mahogany. You and I are having martinis and discussing the issues of the day. We would be great friends and I would pick up the tab.

With your Gold Card?

The Gold Card is an AARP thing?
Posted on 1/25/12 at 5:03 pm to Rohan2Reed
Hmmm....thought it was an AMEX card.
Posted on 1/25/12 at 5:14 pm to Gris Gris
It very well may refer to that as well. But when I heard Gold Card in reference to Zach, my thoughts went first to AARP.
Posted on 1/25/12 at 5:19 pm to Rohan2Reed
Zach's not that old, is he?
Posted on 1/25/12 at 5:26 pm to Gris Gris
This is my Gold Card...
And yes, I'm way old enough for AARP. They send me crap every week. But they're a bunch of left wing Dems. Never gonna join.
