hands up if you know what VANITY SIZING is. i wasn't familiar with the term until i complained about pants not fitting. a few weeks ago i bought a pair of pants without trying them on, yes i know, dumb move. when i put them on i couldn't believe how fucking big they were. i take a size 32 waist and these things had to be at least 34's. in the past if i saw "relaxed fit" i knew they would be big but that little hint seems to be out the window. when i took the pants back i grabbed a 31 and a 30 to try on. the 31 was still way to big for me and the 30 was just a fucking big. i probably would have fit quite nicely into a 28 but said fuck it and asked for my money back.
i guess that's the new paradigm. make chubby people think they're thin by mislabeling clothes. oh yeah, my fucking feet seem to have grown a few sizes over the years. people want small waists and big feet. people will bitch and squawk if they buy a product that doesn't accurately state the ingredients or true weight but they don't say peep if the deceitful practice allows them to feel thin.
i was talking to my suicidal friend a few minutes ago and it occurred to me an explanation may be in order for my frequent childish remarks about jews and nine irons. my buddy is a first class racist. years ago he hated nine irons with an intensity that would put a pitbull on guard to shame. every thing that was wrong with the world was the fault of the nine irons. for the past few years his hatred has switched from nine irons to jews. no matter what conversation we have it will usually end up in an argument over jews. there are topics i won't touch because i know it's going to start an argument over jews or nine irons. so if i've had one of these conversations just before doing one of my childish posts, there's a good chance i'll toss in a few digs at my israeli or asian brothers out of frustration. truth be told, it's snooty eurotrash that really bug me.
on a more positive note, me and ruby are swimming in ripe tomatoes. when tomatoes are in season, the tomato slice should be at least as thick as the meat patty in a burger. at least that's how i see the world.
these guys are pretty good. i liked them on the "i'm not there" but just now got around to checking them out.
i love you sons of bitches.

I'm not prejudice, any time I act like it just is making fun of those who are. My tomatoes have all but quit, but the plants are still trying, lots of blooms, so I still have hope. We ate the last of the tomatoes today in taco salad, good stuff!
I had to look up 'Nine Iron' - it seems it's a racial slur for the Japanese. Maybe your friend has an issue with the letter 'J'. How does he feel about Jesus?
Assholes are assholes no matter what their nationality is. And some cultures are just plain weird.
I don't buy new clothes other than underwear and socks but Fruit of the Loom shorts and tee shirts stay consistent in size, so far.
Shoe sizes have gotten insane, I always try them on.
tex - next year maybe i'll stagger the planting. space the planting by about 1 week for each little bundle of joy.
gb - he doesn't hate jesus, just those who follow him. he called me simple minded idiot for watching the ufc last night.
bill - it seems like fraud to misrepresent the size but i don't hear anyone complaining, other than me of course and i'm a chronic complainer so no one listens to me.
As my dad used to say about me, you'll never suffer alone.
Stoicism just ain't in my blood.
Billy, mate, I/we have a similar problem over here in the UK. However, I laughed like buggery when, unknown to yours truly, this problem was identified as actually being referred to as Vanity Sizing!
Most of the time, I wear what're called 'Cargo Pants', which're basically fatigues - army-type jeans. I'm a 32" waist, normally, but a couple of week's ago I ordered about half-a-dozen pairs of these jeans [online] in a 32" waist, and much to my annoyance, irritation and astonishment, they all varied in size.
However, since we've had Pebble, I've lost about half-a-stone in weight - not through exercising the beautiful l'al pup, but probably through skipping the odd meal due to the fact that she's extremely demanding at the minute, mate.
I won't go into the Jewish issue, my friend, because as most people are aware, despite the atrocities and crimes against humanity committed against the Jews during World War II, some will argue that Hitler and his henchmen were justified in their hatred of the Jews because most of the extremely rich and greedy Jews controlled all, if not most of the German banks, and at the time, thousands of Germans were starving and living in poverty on the streets.
Please note, Billy, that in no way, shape or form, do I support the barbaric actions of Hitler and his Nazi party.
To You & Yours, I wish You a Happy and peaceful Day.
Take Care & Stay Lucky!
Steve...
thims - i'm happy to say i also have no greek influences in my blood.
farmer - i recently read that hitler truly embraced the german fascination with shit to the degree of having women shit on him.
Hitler liked the Cleveland Steamers?
This type of revelation is what keeps me coming back!
Did Hitler like blow jobs?
the german section in boomerang mentions hitler's love affair with shit.
did the the fuhrer like blow jobs?
goering to hitler: do you remember your first blow job?
hitler: ja!
goering - how long did it take him to come?
HAHAHAHAHAHA
I'm taking a copy of that to post..
BBC?
My friend Shilpa Chandra Gupta wants to know why you are stalking her at her "The Pembroke Curmudgeoun" blog?
She is frightened of you.
I must say pilgrim, without Leslie and me, this blog has a completely different aesthetic.
I quite like it!
aquarian!- thank christ you're ok, i was worried that fucking tutor might have done bad things to you.
I know, right... BTW, what dreadful crime has George done to Leslie?
i think the king vanquished her.
or maybe my critique of vanity sizing hit a nerve.
