You Can Take It With You

January 26, 2012

What’s with all that “You Can’t Take It With You” approach? We just don’t get it. You can always take it with you unless, like, the It in question is an elephant. You could theoretically take the elephant with you, but that would be more trouble than it’s worth. Then you have to worry about [...]

Your Own Private, Moveable Virgin Islands

January 16, 2012

Tomorrow in history: On January 17th, 1917, the United States bought the Virgin Islands from Denmark for $25 million. Adjusted for inflation, and factoring in some depreciation, not to mention some creative bookkeeping by this blog’s accounting department, that price is only just slightly higher than what you’ll pay for a quality garment from Dave’s [...]

How to Prevent Gridlock

December 19, 2011

This blog’s public service department has requested space to caution you about the ongoing holiday gridlock alert. No, not cars-blocking-the-intersection gridlock. We’re speaking now of the “I’m walkin’ here” Ratso Rizzo (look it up) phenomenon you see at department stores in the chaos leading up to the night before Christmas. As in: during the gridlocking [...]

Quality Dreams

November 25, 2011

On Thanksgiving, we ate turkey. And it put us to sleep, and we dreamed…that the people in Turkey ate turkey, too, but didn’t make a big deal about it. The people in Chile ate chili. In Belgium they enjoyed Brussels sprouts and Belgian waffles. In France: French toast with a side of French fries. One [...]

Schott NYC and Sorel Provide Comfort and Warmth

November 16, 2011

Okay, November just hasn’t gone at all like we thought it would. What with snow in October, we we prepared to build an igloo out back and sled to work every day, like Santa. But then it got mild, and then it got warmer and then it was downright balmy. We suspect that Mother Nature [...]

Bobbing for Quality with Carhartt and Schott

October 25, 2011

As a public service, we want to give you insight to the upcoming Halloween celebrations. Seems that alongside the parades and trick-or-treating and carving up pumpkins, the game of bobbing for apples is—or was—very popular. There’s a big tub of water. The apples float. You pluck them out with your teeth. No hands. We don’t [...]

October 19, 2011

The prediction department of this blog has developed a number of, er, predictions for the coming days. People will keep wearing clothes. The temperature will take a slow, subtle slide into crisp Halloween night perfection.

Schott and Carhartt Supply What You Must Have

December 25, 2010

Waiting in the checkout line in the store, we’re standing behind a kid and his dad. He’s four years old, maybe, and absolutely has to have this toy helicopter with a squirt gun cartridge. A fire department toy helicopter. Puts out fires. Does good for the world.
Kid is relentless. His dad looks very reluctant, probably [...]
