petitesouris replied to your chat: E-mail chain between myself and my roommates concerning the impending blizzard and its potential effect on our commutes roommates? i thought you were married! Well you know, times are tough right now. We thought it would be better than living with our parents… Naw, I’m playin’. I’m not married! Where did you get that idea?

givemeindiana asked: I always thought you lived in Nashville, by way of Chicago. But if you are in the windy city and planning on braving the storm I'd love to see the levels of layering it will take to keep you alive.

E-mail chain between myself and my roommates...

James: The National Weather Service is now describing Chicago Blizzard 2K11 as "dangerous, multifaceted and potentially life-threatening." I hope you guys have your sled dogs ready.
Me: Well, if there is anything worth dying for, it's the giant multi-national corporation I work for.
Matthew: Agreed. I will brave the conditions to audit a company with the best case scenario being that nobody looks at my work for 7 years until it can legally be destroyed.

Chicago Breaking News: Blizzard watch in effect... →

UPDATE: The National Weather Service has issued an unusually dire blizzard watch, calling a storm expected to arrive Tuesday afternoon over much of northern Illinois and Northwest Indiana “dangerous, multifaceted and potentially life-threatening.” If you thought the East Coast had it bad last week, brace yourself for the huge storm forecast to overtake the Chicago area...

I get the same crotch blowouts on my 501s usually right as they start to look good. I wear them a little while longer until the tear spreads and then I start on a new pair. Anyway to fix that?

jamesdrewe asked: If a pair of jeans has shrunk slightly too far in around the waist, is it possible to stretch the waist back out at all (even if only 1/2 an inch)?

If you thought the East Coast had it bad last week, brace yourself for the huge storm forecast to overtake the Chicago area this week. The National Weather Service has issued a blizzard watch starting Tuesday afternoon for much of Northern Illinois and Northwest Indiana. All told, forecasters expect at least 8 inches in northern central Illinois, and at least 18 inches in the northeast...

no roommate will steal that from the fridge. It is how i survived living in a fraternity house. Always be the one buying the cheapest beer

whiskeysoaked replied to your post: You need to come out to New England and taste Narragansett beer. Then you’ll realize just how awful PBR really is. BeerAdvocate has chosen ‘Gansett as the best mainstream American lager (and if their site was behaving properly, I would be providing you with the appropriate link). I’ve never found ‘gansett to be that exceptional, but for how cheap you can...

creedofman asked: Hi! I'm an avid follower - kudos for it all. Fantastic. Anyway, I'm wanting to get some khaki 501 STFs, only question is whether they would be acceptable in most circles - i.e. college dress code and work - as "khaki pants." Thoughts?

From the video, it sounds like there were some things going on behind the scenes with the group but regardless I really would like...

Anonymous asked: I really don't care a small mouse's tail about your jean fit...or how many times you've soaked them? WEIRD POSTS! Just sayin'.

simplydressed asked: Legit jeans, but what's up with the tiny little cuffs? :P
