Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Healthy parent ~ma to Cass and Suzi, with extra comforting thoughts.

We are finally getting some rain, which has dropped the temperatures and will, I hope, wash away some of the pollen plague.

I am trying to write a memo to the faculty about my upcoming leave, the fact that this will leave us short staffed, and I'll kill 'em if they abuse and take advantage of the nice-guy-ness of the one full time Reference person that will be here because they're too lazy to hire an RA.

Fashion help!!!

In 2 weeks is the Gala for work. I gotta work it. The attire is described as "Cocktail Chic". I have a tux. Devo dept said a tux is too formal. What the heck is cocktail chic???

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A google image search does come up with some outfits for men: [link]

eta: Argh! High-water pants! [link]

eta²: So it looks like for men, it's suit and tie, or jacket and tie.

“Not dead yet!”

omnis, dark slacks, dress shirt and spiffy tie ought to do it. If you want to make it really dressy, do something monochromatic with the shirt and slacks and let the tie stand out.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Perhaps that's post-cocktail chic.

Oh, I hate that shit! There was a time when there were rules! None of this "casual cool" or "festively dressy" crap. White tie, black tie, informal, casual. That's it! You knew what to where when! Grrrr.

That said, I suggest dark pants with a shirt and cool tie.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Or you could go with a nice shirt, jacket and no tie. I picture something less than a suit but more than khakis and a button down.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

and it looks like he's wearing his pajama top.

Some people are taking the 'just got out of bed' look rather seriously at the moment. Half of my students look like they're wearing pajama pants, with tousled hair (that they clearly spent hours getting right, heh) to match. Oh, and Ugg boots.
