Plus, there's nothing more depressing than slightly grimy white clothes, or sheets, or whatever.Captain Colossalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02713053731307487088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4392162987997980937.post-30739245507103660222007-11-10T06:00:00.000-08:002007-11-10T06:00:00.000-08:00Ha!

It sounds so annoying I can hardly believe it -- once it gets hard he just starts compromising, so the whole interesting part becomes sort of nothing. <BR/><BR/>I hadn't seen that thing about wearing white. What a nut. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, it's different to repeat your jokes to different people than to repeat them in interviews for the national press, obvs! It's not like he didn't realize he be seen repeating himself. <BR/><BR/>I do wonder how much of the uplift of wearing white has to do with our associations it has with nice weather and summertime. I can sort of see it on a sunny day but if I think about wearing white on a dark cold Canadian winter evening, getting dirty snow-mush all over the white cuffs, it starts to seem pretty different.Noko Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04384279666473945934noreply@blogger.com
