    What, exactly, is difficult about a "high and tight" haircut

    I wanted to get my hair cut before I go see my girlfriend? and I had to leave the town I live because of flooding

    I am visiting my parents. My Dad said he found a really good barber.

    The good barber had a sign in front of her shop that she was closed. I really needed a haircut, so I went to a different barber down the road.

    Pleasant older man. He seemed to cut it quickly, but it looked ok at the shop. I didn't notice him doing any sorts of tricks with gel or anything.

    I got to the store, scratched my head, and it felt funny towards the crown of my head. Talked to my Dad, yes, it's fucked up.

    Thankfully the first barber was actually open, and she managed to fix it, but it's rather short

    The hard part is getting the fade correct. Not as simple as it would seem!

    It's like thrifting without most of the hazards.

    And where's the fun in that?

    They're not exclusive. Some days you want Pepsi; some days you want Coke.

    What? No. Wrong

    What about if every day you think both Coke and Pepsi are disgusting?

    The lack of hazards.

    For me it's thrifting without the soul
    but the reliability of a positive outcome is somewhat higher.

    The biggest problem in my experience is finding things you like that don't also have a giant hole poked in them from the security tag things.

    Sometimes you need a giant bottle of off brand European body wash for men and some oddly flavored salt and you aren't going to get any of that at a thrift store, not in a form you'd trust anyway.

    If you picked Pepsi, I have a hard time trusting your decisions on anything else, to be honest. I don't even drink Coke by itself, I only mix it with cheap bourbon, but even so, swapping out the Coke for Pepsi makes a bourbon and cola almost undrinkable to me.

    coke lives a nasty film in my mouth so I don't like it quite as much

    it's also grossly sweet in comparison

    But Pepsi is sweeter than Coke.

    That's basically the reason for the whole New Coke fiasco.

    That stuff tastes like heavily caffeinated lemon pledge and I love it. It reminds me a little of the Cola that Red Bull used to make.

    Y'all I am down to one dress shirt for my buddy's wedding because my other dress shirts don't fit anymore.

    You see, these were all purchased at a time when I was a noodle-armed, no-ass skinny nerd. Now that I am a swole nerd with a thicc-er torso (and thighs), I legit can't button the neck of any of these shirts save for one. This is both a good problem and a bad problem. I had such variety too choose from, alas...

    But if there's enough alcohol to be had, I'll probably end up shirtless anyways.

    Neck button extenders. You can get them at some department stores. And most big and tall stores.

    Fancy? Grow out a goatee and plait it. There's your 'fancy'. Still skip the shirt.

    There's something up with the taste of coke then where it just tastes like a mouth full of sugar where pepsi is slightly better even if still sweet. Probably why my mouth feels gross after drinking it.

    Since I successfully steered the fashion thread into a ditch - favorite root beers?

    I like the harshness of Barq's and loathe most that have licorice flavors in them. Currently I'm enjoying Boylan's.

    I go for Virgil's primarily. Boylan's is pretty damn good too, as is Sioux City and (a local company) Appalachian Brewing Co.

    Virgil's is the king of (widely available) root beers. Especially their seasonal Bavarian Nutmeg flavor: https://www.amazon.com/Virgils-Special-Bavarian-Nutmeg-Root/dp/B014ATA2DQ

    Although, as a former Utican, I'm obligated by law to mention that Saranac root beer is fuckin' good.

    I don't know if I've tried Virgil's since I tend to sample only when there are loose bottles for sale and I only ever see it in 4 packs.

    so my apartment still has a bit of an odor to it. I need to get candles / air fresheners and leave the windows open during the day when it is cooler.

    But how can I best keep it out of my clothing?
