Ave, Caesar, emptum te saluto!

[x_multipleman]

Rahne, did I get that right? An hour in the library, and I know I could've just asked Doug but that would be too easy. :)

How the heck did I agree to a day of clothes shopping? Oh, that's right, Kitty said "ooh!" at the prospect and I am a weak, weak man.

Do I get to save any manliness credibility if I end up with a leather jacket out of this?

Leather's the most manly of manly materials, Jamie. Save perhaps flannel, and even then, only if it's plaid.

So I don't lose my union card because I'm letting Kitty and Angie play dress-up with me all day, then?

Look at it this way - you're a big enough man to survive having them play dress-up with you all day. No revoking of you Guy Liscence for that. If anything, you get a gold star. Possibly also a Purple Heart, depending on how it goes.


x_crowdofone

That's a good point.

Plus there's a chance I'll be able to convince Kitty to at least try on some leather pants. I think I get bonus points for that.

See, there you go. Your street cred it safe.

It is -manly- dress-up. Denim and leather and white t-shirts.


Re: ...

It's still dress-up.

Are you guys covering the food? Because if I get free food, that's a whole other thing.

I am not sure. I told Doug I could cover his food, since he is going to provide moral support and because he has to at least consider my evil plan.

Kitty? Are we covering Jamie's food? I can chip in if you want.

Well, if you're paying for Doug than I'll happily pony up for Jamie to eat - even at his rates...

I can't believe you just lent any credibility at all to plaid flannel. Did it suddenly become 1994 and I missed the memo?

Yes, Jamie, leather will save your manly pride. Enough so that you could even wear a green dress with it and still be manly.


x_crowdofone
March 6 2004, 11:30:07 UTC
Hah. No green dresses, I specified. :)

What's wrong with plaid flannel?


x_shinobi
March 6 2004, 11:30:46 UTC
Plaid flannel is manly and rugged. I mean, lumberjacks wear it. How much more manly than that do you get?


x_polarisstar
March 6 2004, 11:31:27 UTC
Nothing if you are a lumberjack.

What about a teal dress?


x_crowdofone
March 6 2004, 11:36:56 UTC
No dresses of any kind. Besides, teal is weird.


x_polarisstar
March 6 2004, 11:47:31 UTC
Teal is not weird. Teal is a fine and noble color with a proud history.

What about sage?


x_crowdofone
March 6 2004, 11:50:14 UTC
Teal belongs on minivans.

Sage is one of those colors that's halfway between two other colors with nonintuitive names, isn't it? I'd just call it "green," wouldn't I?


x_polarisstar
March 6 2004, 12:21:20 UTC
Sage is a very gray sort of green. But calling it green takes all the nuance out of it.


x_rahne
March 6 2004, 12:57:16 UTC
Sage is the sort of green that smells and tastes better than it looks. *grin*


...
x_tarot
March 6 2004, 13:24:43 UTC
Tastes?


Re: ...
x_polarisstar
March 6 2004, 13:25:54 UTC
Of course, tastes. Sage is an herb, after all.


x_crowdofone
March 6 2004, 13:16:54 UTC
Nuance, huh? Sounds fishy to me.


x_polarisstar
March 6 2004, 13:28:04 UTC
No, those are narwhals. Nuance is a subtle difference or quality. A delicacy of shading.


x_crowdofone
March 6 2004, 13:31:20 UTC
Which is possessed by many different kinds of fish, probably including narwhals. So there.


x_polarisstar
March 6 2004, 13:45:02 UTC
Nuance is found in many things. Including color. Like sage. Which would look wonderful on you.


x_crowdofone
March 6 2004, 13:50:18 UTC
Sheesh, everybody wants a say in my wardrobe. I think there's sage in some of my Hawaiian shirts, if that helps.


x_polarisstar
March 6 2004, 13:54:07 UTC
A dress, Jamie. It would be really fun.


x_crowdofone
March 6 2004, 14:06:03 UTC
Yeah, for you.


x_polarisstar
March 6 2004, 14:09:13 UTC
Well, yeah but isn't that the point?

It would be fun for Kitty, too.


x_crowdofone
March 6 2004, 14:10:43 UTC
Yeah, but I can come up with other things that are fun for Kitty.


x_polarisstar
March 6 2004, 14:14:28 UTC
Right but don't you want her to have maximum fun?


x_crowdofone
March 6 2004, 14:24:19 UTC
You're not allowed to quote John Goodman when he's possessed by a demon. That's just freaky.


x_polarisstar
March 6 2004, 14:37:43 UTC
*giggles* It certainly sounds freaky, but I'm afraid the reference is lost on me. I didn't intend to quote anyone.

Hmm, maybe I /am/ John Goodman possessed by an alien, in that case.


x_crowdofone
March 6 2004, 14:45:42 UTC
From "Fallen." And demon, not alien. Good movie, you should watch it.

You're a lot better-looking than John Goodman. Also, a girl. I wouldn't worry. :)


x_polarisstar
March 6 2004, 14:56:47 UTC
Demon, right.

Looking it up on IMDB, it looks okay. Denzel is always a good thing. Well, in '98 he was.

A viewing shall have to be arranged.


x_crowdofone
March 6 2004, 21:26:54 UTC
Tomorrow? Have it on DVD.

I'll bring plenty of snacks. :)


x_polarisstar
March 7 2004, 11:47:42 UTC
That sounds good.

Snacks are...we'll see.

Your manly credibility is saved by Doug coming along to preserve it.

Or so he says.


Re: ...
x_crowdofone
March 6 2004, 13:30:25 UTC
Oh, good, Doug's coming along to snicker at me, that'll help a lot. :)


...
x_tarot
March 6 2004, 13:57:00 UTC
He's making a face.

This is likely because I just told him he was in for the same deal.

He has pants, but I am thinking, perhaps a jacket, or .. I am not sure.


Re: ...

Heh. Well, as long as I get in on the snickering, I'm fine. :)

Ave, Caesar, empturum te saluto!, actually, Jamie. And may I say, in regards to your plans for the day, audaces fortuna iuvat. Also, possibly, dulce et decorum est pro amore mori. You're a braver man than I.


x_crowdofone
March 6 2004, 14:06:40 UTC
Ah, thanks. I got bogged down in the endings. :) I dunno if it's bravery or just not being able to say no to Kitty.

Oh, you're thinking you're getting out of being dragged shopping when you're up to it?

It's not like you packed enough clothes for this long. And there's only so much I can put up with knowing you're wearing the same...clothes, even if they are washed. That's...what's the term some of the girls used?

Skeevy.

Have fun, Jamie.


x_cable
March 6 2004, 17:18:42 UTC
I packed? I packed nothing, remember? If you don't like the clothes I'm wearing, you have only yourself to blame. If you hadn't drugged me, I could have thrown my own gear together.

And we still haven't talked about the fact that you didn't pack any of my guns. Grrr.
