I bet the fabric photographs well, but is not-so-good IRL. Which is how a lot of things from The Pyramid Collection catalog are.
I feel much better about not buying it now, Jilli. Thank you.
Name the person I'm quoting from BRQG:
Har.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Points to all.

"I have a can of tomato noodle soup. I can't eat it because tomato soup shouldn't have noodles. It just sits in the pantry like one of the wonders of my kitchen. I show people when they come over, "Come look at this. It's tomato soup. WITH NOODLES!"

If you really want a swashbuckle-y type coat, get this one from Newport News: [link]
The price is reasonable, and the fabric quality and construction are good.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oooh, good one, Tep. Points.
Here's a softball:
" ...I've started inadvertently slashing everything. Adverts, soaps, everything. I got very excited about a TV announcer's introduction to a film for a split second before I remembered that a Slasher Movie wasn't necessarily full of gay sex. Sigh."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I was gonna guess, but that wouldn't be fair.
Also, I knew shrift's quote too. Just too slow typing with my *$#&%#@ feels-like-it's-broken finger.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Adverts? FayJay.
