So, is this the coolest, or the ugliest?
In this thread, Taverner asked me if I was lounging in my Hefner-like smoking jacket.

Well, coincidentally...





So, here you go Taverner...

Cool or Ugly?

1. It's not entirely one or the other. I'd go with a little bit cool and a lot ugly.
Just my opinion. :P

Richard Gere pretty manchild eyes, Hugh Heffner slippery robe, Marlborro Man 4-Wheeler hogtie dungarees. Nekkid underneath.

68. It's not for me
Mine's going up for sale. (it looks like it has a stain, but that's just one of the slit pockets.) And that's not a good pic anyway. I have some odd old hats that I wear sometimes if I have the occasion, like the national Aunt Bee look-alike pickle making championship.

All you need is a cigarette clasped in an ebony holder to complete the whole creepy "committed bachelor" look.

But if that's what you're going for, you've hit it brilliantly! :hi:
