The Sartorialist commenters. I was just laughing at: "This photo is so good, I feel like he really is in front of me!"; 1/4/13, 4:25 PM

Cary Grant is truly dead.; 1/4/13, 5:30 PM
Nomennovum said...: I see that hipster chicks get all lubed up for soulless middle aged ginger spawn of Bart Simpson dressed in Salvation Army castoffs.

Ah, but they don’t. They get all lubed up for charismatic soulless middle aged ginger spawn of Bart Simpson dressed in Salvation Army castoffs. As a matter of fact strike everything I said after “charismatic.” That guy can rock anything and look good. Take notes, boys. Give Bart Simpson some freckles and red hair, age him 20-30 years, add a heaping dose of self-confidence, and you get ... Mickey Rourke.; 1/4/13, 5:49 PM
bagoh20 said...: Even a ginger has a soul, but the trailing entracule smells of speculoos.; 1/4/13, 6:29 PM

(cut and paste)

Apparently 'The Return of the Chap' has been going on in England for the past 4-5 years with people wearing 'old' fashions and going to lawn parties with croquette contests included.

It's pretty fun stuff but be aware that A) his accent is a little thick and B) there are a number of puns that might take a few listens to catch.; 1/4/13, 6:53 PM
tiger said...: The guy's name is 'Mr. B, the Gentleman Rhymer'

Google 'Fighting Trousers(sp?)' for one of his competitors.

Seriously, you should get a laugh or two out of it.; 1/4/13, 6:54 PM

Can we please exile Ritmo to the Sartorialist's comment section?

Why yes, thank you very much. A challenging endeavor growing more difficult every minute, with even that offering now separated from it's virginity for the customary period.; 1/4/13, 7:17 PM
tim maguire said...: Eye catching, I had to look a few times to get what was so attention grabbing.

Hs head is gigantic relative to his shoulders. If there isn't a camera trick then he is deformed.; 1/4/13, 8:07 PM

Noone knows what it's like to be the bad man,
to be the sad man,
behind blue eyes.

Wait, does he have blue eyes. Maybe I'm telling the wrong story.; 1/5/13, 12:39 PM
jr565 said...: The back of the head of the person behind him that is blurred out - so expressive.
Such a story in the back of that blurred head...; 1/5/13, 12:41 PM
