We know you like to use artsy-fartsy words like "faux." Which leads us to conjecture that you own at least one pair of black jeans. And that you took the 9:14 train from Paddington Station.

Haha- I wear IZOD blue jeans because they are available for $15 at a seconds/defects outlet about four blocks from where I live, my shirts come from the same place- always long sleeved button downs. I buy my "footwear" at Wal-Mart, the latest in Chinese half-high work "boots"- which I wear until they completely disintegrate. No need for me to worry about style, I look good in anything:-)

From thefreedictionary: Adj.1.faux - not genuine or real; being an imitation of the genuine article; "it isn't fake anything; it's real synthetic fur"; "faux pearls"; "false teeth"; "decorated with imitation palm leaves"; "a purse of simulated alligator hide"; John Larkin's use of "insight."

I don't see any mention of it being an artsy-fartsy argot-damned now you're going to "dis" me for using "argot."

Nope- no black jeans- clothing is low priority with me.

"Faux" is one of those great self-referential words.

Self-referential, like Bloggs' "fux" ?:-)

We don't have any Wal-Marts around here (they are far too politically incorrect for the Volvo-driving Macys/Saks/Williams-Sonoma crowd) so I have The Brat ship me quantities of velcro shoes from the Wal-Mart just outside Ithaca. The soles of the right shoe do tend to detach at the heel, from rubbing on the floor of the car under the gas pedal, but a dab of ABS pipe cement fixes that right up.

I never understood the rationale for tying shoes... a huge waste of labor to create an unreliable connection.

Not for me it isn't, I picked it up from the construction trades such as faux slate made from concrete, faux folded tin (terne) roofs made from synthetics, faux marbling, faux this and faux that. I like the idea of modern and much longer lasting low maintenance, and in some cases less toxic, materials used to emulate or restore the grandeur/ornamentation of architectural periods past. Your post makes me think of faux, so shoot me:-)

Well- I learned to tie shoes securely at the age of four or something, so that's not a problem for me. But I do notice the Chinese believe in one size fits all for their shoe lace length, usually end up being considered hazardous by US standards.

100 years ago, 5% of new buildings were ugly. Now the proportion is reversed.

Are you saying that building is ugly? There are some facts about that particular section of downtown you are not aware of. It is a genius historical fit.

Reply to
Fred Bloggs

The building isn't too bad, especially the back courtyard.

Now *this* is ugly...

I like downtown Richmond. Stayed in a restored historic inn around 8 years ago, for my father's 80th birthday reunion... can't remember the name now. Huge rooms, great little restaurant and drinking room ;-)

BTW, Fred, Did you just get another patent?

Was that the Jefferson Hotel- built by Lewis Ginter at turn of the century for $1.5M- quite the grand hotel and a showcase. Did you know they used to keep alligators in some kind of pool in the lobby back then.

Nah- not me.
