Steve, no one... that is NO ONE does memes better than you. Now, if you could just lure Tracy away from her Powerline comfort zone, you would hold the Guinness World Record.
Honestly, you are missed over at Powerline, but this site is amazing. It's growing, and there are few that combine the intellectual horse power with the fabulous sense of humor.
Hon, I live in Arizona. I haven't SEEN a suit of any color in 15 years. I recently attended a very sad funeral and my neighbor and I were the only ones dressed in black -- me with a hat, no less! -- and most of our fellow mourners were 30 years younger than us and wearing shorts and flip-flops. Oh my.
Good potential material for your standup routine (I hope you haven't given it up). But, grammatically, shouldn't it be "no fewer" rather than "no less"? Long may you and Mr. Cossack waive!
Betsy, I get that! I simultaneously think worrying about such things is ridiculous & that the casual dress at work is contributing to the fall of civilization. Talk about a personal ambivalence.
I have finally found the perfect epitaph for my tombstone. Previously, I thought it was going to be "she finally weighs her ideal weight". But, now I think it will be, "a walking caricature of taste." I have recently upgraded to a $25 Walmart purse from my green fanny pak with a picture of a cow on it that I got for free from a dairy farm. Progress, not perfection.
I remember how excited I was when my father took me to the men’s store for my first blue suit. My bar mitzvah suit when I was thirteen. For the rest of my life I always got “dressed” for going out, for work, even flying on airplanes was a suit and tie occasion. It wasn’t until I retired and moved to Florida that I learned to be comfortable in casual clothes. I definitely believe society has lost something important in not understanding how to dress and why.
So, now I have to go out and buy black shoes? :) My first tie - I had to buy one for a job interview after college - included a tag on the back that said: to be worn with blue or black suit. Really. I kind of miss that sort of simple direction. Now my wife simply rolls her eyes and asks whether I really plan to wear what I'm wearing.
Yes, Orest, a wife is almost as good as "Grrranimals" Remember those? They had tags with different animals on them and you MATCHED them up to see which shirts went with which pants for children!
Not only did my oldest son need garanimals when he was a kid, but when he bought grownup clothes for his first job, he actually had the sales person label everything like garaniimals so he could know how to wear them
Susan Marie, I traveled quite a bit for business, and was chatting with a fellow air passenger about the need for interchangeable garments during a weeklong trip. She called them “executive garanimals.”
This Epstein thing has been totally botched. In fairness, a lot of evidence has gone poof, but can't Ms. Pam put out a straight story? We're done with Biden-era evasion. We voted that out!

Many thanks for the "real" memes. I meme, I love Powerline, but, let's give credit to where it's due. And much appreciation for the non-memetic humor.
I love and am sticking with power line, that's where I found you.
But I can have both! What a great country. I'll subscribe here also. Plus, with "the free press", all bases covered.
Mr. Ed was another.
Seriously, I grind my teeth every time I see tan shoes with a dark suit. Argh!

Men should adopt the yeshiva dress code. White shirts and black everything else, including felt hats. Tie colors optional.

What about the white soles!?
Also horrendous, Mimi!

I love deportations a lot. But we need a lot more of them. Like 150k-200k per month at least.
I'm a pretty casual guy, and I worked for a company where no one wore ties. Yet I agree about the light brown shoes.

If Casual Friday is causing the downfall of civilization, I'd hate to think what Taco Tuesday is going to do to us.
All you grannies out there need to get Hip To The Jive, man, and embrace the Brown Shoe like it's your soulmate.
Because them hipster dufuses out there aren't changing their metrosexual work aesthetic anytime soon. Certainly not before Friday.
