On wearing special clothes

Per Joerg:
Forrest Gump invented that a long time ago.

One of my favorite movies.

I know a couple from China who saw the movie just after they had arrived
in the USA - barely speaking English. The movie made both of them cry.

Abundant clothing opportunities for all. Plus this place:
http://www.oregoncyclewear.com/woolcyclingjerseys.html Go wool. Put
your own name on your jersey, just so no one tries to steal it.

I guess the joke's on me -- I have several of these, long- and
short-sleeved, and would happily buy another. They're comfortable, not
itchy, and withstand machine washing. On a rainy day they may smell a
bit of peat-smoked sheep, but even after wearing three or four times
between washes they never get the homeless shelter pong that polyester
does.

When you stop, they look like clothing, not sports equipment. (Putting
your onw name on them might not help in that regard.)

Well, I think wool jerseys still look like jerseys when you stop --
unless you go with the polo shirt look of the 30s. Anyway, I have
several wool long sleeve jerseys, and I use them regularly during the
fall. They are the perfect weight for use under a jacket when it is
raining but not too cold. When it gets really cold, I go with
fleecier poly jerseys. My wool jerseys are plain, single color
Kucharic with no brand advertising.

Never been a fan of the polo collar; it looks too much the product of
the sort of rulesmanship that gave the world the butterfly stroke. Even
without a collar there are gradations of indoor-appropriateness. The
Portland Cycle Wear jerseys are near the top of the inconspicuous when
sitting in front of a tablecloth scale.

I had this picture on the driver side door of my Citroen 2CV:

It made lots of kids ask dad to slow down, let me pass, so that he could
pass again. Real slow. Then they all had their noses pressed against the
windows.

"Rulesmanship that gave the world the butterfly stroke." I'm stealing that and finding some way to work it in to my next argument -- oral or written. I think the butterfly stroke was designed by orthopedic surgeons.

Go nuts.

For non-swimmers, butterfly was originally designed to qualify as breastroke:

but it's nothing that would ever occur to someone that actually wanted to swim from
point A to point B.
