Sleek and exciting, this unique outfit will make all the women swoon.

Is it still a swoon if the collapse is brought on by lack of oxygen due to all the laughing?

I do enjoy the idea of boys discover the very idea of covering their butts with trousers material. Double, if they're already wearing the enormous pants, and just hoik them up to a nice high waist.

I enjoy finding the dorky in the stylish.

There's a manager here who will only hire people he knows are stupider than he is.

OMG! Tom has my old boss! Does he accuse you of being a pessimist when you tell him about a problem?

Here's an a original zoot suit.

We can't decapitate major crazy smartasses? My god, political correctness is totally ruining my fun.

I passed a woman here wearing a sweater in horizontal white-pink-red stripes, worn with black trousers with blue pinstripes and light brown shoes. No, I do not possess the imagination to make that a professional-looking outfit. On the flip side, the woman who always wears golds and browns was in greens yesterday. But such precisely co-ordinated greens. She scares me with her ability. And then I have a new coworker who wears more black than me, and more silver (she wears a brightly coloured piece of clothing once a week, but just the one).

I've been linked to way too many bad prom outfits, so the Zootux actually looks quite reasonable to me. Most teen boys look really bad in rented formal wear anyway, even if it's Armani. They don't have the maturity to pull it off. You might as well go for something fun, I say.

He's not my boss, thank Joss, but I do have to interact with him and his lackeys quite often.

You would think that having one of his employees fired for gross incompetence would affect his hiring strategy, but no.

I watched a cousin of mine shop for a prom suit, and I'm totally against the fun. One in a hundred teen guys seems to have a sense of sartorial fun that I'd have stood next to at 18.

What with my dating history and lack of being in the US at 18, it was pretty win win.

Hey, he's my brother. I can (and have in the past, really really wanted to, but...he's better now.)

He actually owned this horrible purple pimp suit. It was mainly worn as a Halloween costume but got dug out for several school functions just to exasperate the teachers. It was really tacky.

I like the zootux.

What kat says is true. I have met very few boys under, say, 25, who could look comfortable in a tuxedo, or even a suit. Partly I think it is the skinniness factor, i.e. many boys look too small for their clothes even when they are in the right size; but partly, it is just that they aren't wearing their own clothes, and it shows.

Now, I knew a kid in the 8th grade who had his own tailored suit, and wore it to a school function once. He looked like a tiny mafioso, and the suit absolutely suited him (I mean, except inasmuch as it made him look like a mafioso).
