01/03/03: The Pimpin' Coat
 

Hey folks, I've gone and gotten myself a stylish new coat! Whaddya think?

It was $133 at Dillards, marked down from $200, and funded mostly through a $100 giftcard from my well-to-do father-in-law, who works as CFO for the Dallas Cowboys. Merry Christmas, Mr. Mitchell!

I feel a bit silly, as I'm not normally concerned so much with image, and I fear it might just make me seem pretentious. But aw, hell, aren't I entitled to splurge on myself now and then?

One more thing: I don't know why my shoes came out looking like that. There's actually not any white in them at all. They're brown. I guess there are just some reflective elements in them. :)


One more pic for the road, just to show how stylin' I can be:

That mousing support just cracks me up.

I'm not messin' with that guy, he's got too much style.

Hey stylin' Arkansan dude. The second pic shows a demon hovering over you.

You didnt make a deal with the devil for hipness did ya?

And at $33, that's quite a splurge!

God help you if you ever get addicted to console gaming :)

Very nice coat Juju. Is it heavy enough to wear out in the cold? It seems to be very stylish but light. Does it have some type of liner in it or are you supposed to wear a jacket under it?


Also looks like you could hide some serious firepower under it.

After discussing this with him on IM last night, I'm convinced that this could very well be one of the high points in his life.

It's a nice coat...not as cool as my pimpin coat, but it's alright.

;)

Maybe, but you didnt post nice big clear pics of your coat. Or did I just miss them?

Maybe you arent as photgenic as Juju. Or maybe your coat isnt quite as nice.

Pimpin' Coat Envy, right here on The Cellar.

I thought I'd never see the day ...

It has a lining in it, so it's quite warm. I went out last night, and it was pretty damned cold. The only parts of me that were cold, though, were the parts not covered by the coat (hands, face, and ankles). You can wear another jacket under it, too, though.

I forget what it's made out of, and it doesn't seem to say anywhere on it. It's a Ralph Lauren, though.

I've had lots of other exciting things happen to me recently, but the thing is, they're only exciting to me. As in, hey folks, I just bought a new router!! Yeah baby!! And then I burned all these new mp3-cds to play in my car! And then, I went to Wal-Mart and bought Ben & Jerry's ice cream!

See? It's just not as cool as the coat.

Heh, nah. I'd hope that Beelzebub would be able to give me more style than that. :)

Well, I meant splurge as in buying an expensive clothing item just because it looks really cool. That's not really something I'm used to doing. Granted, it wasn't expensive to me. I had to use the giftcard one way or another, and if it wasn't this, it would've been slacks. But I got slacks for christmas, so I've got plenty of those now.

Word to the slacks. They're the only pants I own. Denim is not for me.

I need to get me a new coat, but I need to wait until my body hits the right shape. My arms and shoulders will be bigger, chest bigger, waist smaller, etc... It would be silly to dump money on one now.

That is fine mens outer wear but the Cowboys still suck.

Yeah, I much prefer to wear slacks, 'cause they're just so comfortable. They're pretty much all I wear. Lotsa room, y'know?

I don't really care for football myself, but hey, whatever brings the old man's paycheck in is good enough for me.

You missed the photo. I posted a photo of a coat similar to mine in a Manifestos thread. Turns out it wasn't quite the same as my own, but close enough.

Yeah, my face breaks camera lenses.

I believe Rho, Dave, and UT will verify the awesomeness of pimpin' coat. Taunting me is one thing, taunting pimpin coat and pimpin accessories is unacceptable. I will not tolerate your further abuse. I'm telling Kofi!

Pimpin' accessories? What exactly do those entail?

Re: Hoo Boy
 

I assure you...I have nothing to envy given the inferiority of juju and his pussy ass coat. I laugh at him...BWAHAHAHAHA!

(Remember juju...find someone from AL or MS to get on here, and your burden will be lifted tremendously. Having Slang on here helps, but it's not quite MS.)

You know, I meant to post about those when I got them early last month. You reminded me of them again...I'll talk about them later in the Manifestos.

Griff makes a good point and reminds us of a very important consideration. The Cowboys do suck as always but we would be lax if we did not recognize that this is not the first time Cowboys organization money went to pimpin' coats.

No in fact there is a long tradition of it. I believe that several of them have encouraged public outrage by wearing their pimpin' coats to their court appearances.

At your pimpin'est best you ain't got nothing on Michael Irvin. But the up side is that you can visit Philly and leave with your career intact.

Re: Re: Hoo Boy
 

Oh yeah? Let's see a picture of you in your alleged coat, Mr. Badazz! I don't think it really exists! Picture of a similar coat, indeed..

I found the coat Syc. Very nice.

The thread hadnt shown up in the past 30 days so I had to reset the options to find it.

The Syc coat seems to be more formal whereas the Juju coat seems to be more functional.

They are both very nice. The Juju coat seems to have the greater potential for hiding scary weapons though.

If I was going to watch an opera, the Syc coat is the shit. If I was going to the opera house to hold up some upscale city folk, the Juju coat wins.

Now any jacket with this logo, is ready for rugged action.

Pshaw! What a shitty looking coat! Mine is definitely better. Besides, he just took that image from some web site. I could easily do the same. Watch:

Hey look, folks! I've got a Ferrari! Yay for me! I'm Sycamore and I'm cool!

Ah, but people here on the Cellar have seen the coat in action...for all we know, you photoshopped yours.

Bah! They're probably all just duplicate accounts. :)

i got a ferrari too, but mines better. look:

I don't have a Ferrari :\ I drive this junker

WalMart and Ben & Jerry's are the embodiment of eeevil. The dyes in the pimpin' coat are clearly affecting your behavior and personality. (or maybe it's the poster of your most favorite demon that's making you do these things ... this bears further study.)

I've had a few Junkers but I kept wrecking them.

James Carville (I think) once described Pennsylvania as Philadelphia and Pittsburgh separated by Alabama.

I think Slang counts ...

Things I Wonder . . .
 

Don't worry Juju, plenty of people would find your acquisition of a router quite exciting. I wonder -- is it the kind that cuts shapes into the edges of wood, or the computer-thingy?

No, what I really wonder is, what is that roll of toilet paper sitting by the computer for? Hasn't anyone told you not to shit where you eat?

Love the new coat.

Heh. It's my substitute for Kleenex. I have really bad allergies down here. I'm glad Claritin is over-the-counter now, though it doesn't quite seem to alleviate my symptoms completely.

As for the router, it's the computer-thingy. I got one for my brother for christmas so he could share my mom's dsl connection. I thought it was so cool that I got one for myself, too, and I paid for it with the Christmas money I got from my mom. I don't really need it for Internet sharing, as I use Linux. But now I can reboot into Windows and play games without cutting off my wife's connection. It's really nice to have that option.

Actually, I bought it in a bought of frustration. You see, while I was installing a new hard drive that I got from my mom for Christmas (one can never have enough space when one downloads mp3s AND records tv shows), my computer flat-out stopped booting up. Now, I'd been having problems getting my computer to boot up before, and I was told by the folks at the local computer shop that my symptoms were a sure sign of motherboard failure (after they told me this they tried to sell me a new one). Thank god I didn't buy their bullshit, because it ended up just being a faulty power cable!

Anyway, the router allowed me to be on the internet during this mini-crisis without having to move the dsl modem, install another NIC in my wife's computer, install software, set it up, etc., etc. (like I didn't have enough problems at the time).

You know full well that the real reason you like that jacket is that the non-fraying weave of the material allows you to cut a hole in the pocket to poke the barrel of your pistol through ...

I don't like Ferraris. :)

Re: Re: Re: Hoo Boy
 

Correct.

Not quite. Rural PA is pretty much on the same level as Arkansas. But if you're from MS, AL, or WV, you make Arkansans look like geniuses. :)

Obviously, that's completely wrong.

Juju, I understand. You're upset, confused, angry. Inside, you are filled with rage, merely b/c you are an Arkansan. It's like a stain on your soul. You wish you could change it all...you even tell all your friends at school that you're from Dallas. You dream for the day that you and your wife can walk hand in hand across the Arkansas state line and never look back.

Go ahead juju...let that hurt out...we're listening.

You, sir, are a sad, strange little man.

Actually, I'm a big guy...and I'm generally happy. As far as "strange"...I like to call myself "unique."

Now wait a minute, you can't be serious including WV in there.

I think Jim Carville is funny and all (garbage can hat), but he must have been drinking when he made the Pa/Al comparison.

UT, you're right...WV may be even worse than MS or AL.

I can't believe Carville is married to Mary Matalin...talk about opposites attract.

I wonder if Mary Matalin wore a garbage hat at home when Dole was klobbered in 96?

I can't imagine being in a polar opposite marriage like that.

I doubt either one really has any political convictions. Its just a game and they happen to be coaching different teams.
