Making fun of the mentally ill really crosses a line.

Not that thereā€™s anything wrong with that.

What did the NRA member say about wearing a Zegna suit to his vasectomy? If youā€™re going to be impotent you got to look impotent.

$1000 suits practically are jeans and workboots in that world.

Two thousand dollar suits donā€™t do a thing for himā€“he still looks like a jerk.

Weā€™re (TPM) doing well enough for puff pieces! Congrats to All!

not to be an old scoldā€¦but there is something wrong with making fun of the mentally illā€¦these people did nothing to cause their illness and most will never recover, its a life long thingā€¦

Oh, I agree, itā€™s totally crazy.

Where Did LaPierreā€™s $200K Worth Of Fine Italian Suits Come From?

Wasnā€™t that the amount of Barf, the Beer Boyā€™s credit card debt that mysteriously got paid off?

Iā€™m very into classic menswear and tailoring. The fact that a wealthy guy is wearing Zegna suits isnā€™t news. Frankly, Iā€™m surprised he isnā€™t wearing Brioni or Tom Ford. Zegnaā€™s quality is high, fabrics are exclusive and finishing is always great. The only positive thing I can say about Wayne LaPierre is that heā€™s generally well-dressed.

How does anyone spend $200,000 on suits? Maybe theyā€™re bullet-proof.

I buy a new suit every decade whether I need it or not. The most Iā€™ve ever spent is $200.

but then, Iā€™m kind of a hippieā€¦

A few terms that were in great need of reappraisal in this country include ā€˜ā€˜real Americansā€™ā€™, ā€˜ā€˜heartlandā€™ā€™ and ā€˜ā€˜backboneā€™ā€™. I appreciate the NRAā€™s contribution in this overdue lexical clarification.
I also welcome the opportunity to shine light on the word ā€˜ā€˜suitsā€™ā€™ and its many underexplored cultural, economic and political ramifications.

Yep ā€“ right into the terlet.

He still looks like a corpse in a suit. A designer suit cannot dress up a dead soul; it shows in his face.

Your words, not mine. Thatā€™s a real stretch. Careful to not hurt yourselfā€¦:neutral_face:

I think the $200K number isnā€™t actually all that out of line if weā€™re talking about 15 years worth of bespoke suits and other clothes.

Perhaps Zegna cuts them a little looser under the left armpit.

Yep. Soldier of Fortune was the one that was disturbing.
