Buffistas

I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Okay, I apparently don't know the difference between that and a tuxedo jacket.

Does it have to do with one of them (the jackets) having tails?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have heard the Amber mining industry is horrible.

Others may work 10-hour days in amber mines, eating salt and pozole to keep from dehydrating. Because of their small size, children between 9 and 14 years constitute the majority of the mines’ workforce, digging 2-3 ft high tunnels into the mountains. Early in life, most have developed deep coughs caused by years of working in the smoke and dust -- all for about $2 a day.

Typically/traditionally speaking:

Morning suits have cutaway coats in either gray (worn with gray pants) or black (worn with striped pants). The coats are paired with a waistcoat (vest).

Tuxedos are standard jackets or tails, typically in black or white. Paired with matching pants and either a waistcoat or cumberbund.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Morning dress also is WAY HOTTER than regular tuxedos, IMVHO.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

For the longest time, I thought they were Mourning Coats.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I thought the only place to see them was on Masterpiece Theater.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

In a tuxedo jacket, you can have your barn door open and nobody might notice for a long time. In a morning coat, people will notice.

(Also, you have flappy tail things, which are almost as good as a cape!, on a morning coat, which you do not have on the standard tuxedo.)

I've seen people in morning dress in person only at weddings, and they never look comfortable in it. I think it must take even more panache to look comfortable in morning dress (to say nothing of evening dress) than it takes to look good in a tuxedo.

Now tagless for your comfort.

DH and I had this same conversation about tails/morning coats when were discussing our wedding. His roommate at the time (who was an usher at the wedding and was going to have to wear said coat) said, "Morning coat? Who do you think I am? Beau Brummell?"

I seem to recall it was only the second funniest discussion we had with him.
