It is a - most - provoking - thing when a person doesn't know a cravat from a belt!

and even more distressing regarding fake furs or pelts!

Especially when it's an un-birthday present.

Is it Really? (Although I'm quite glad you HAD chosen a good subject after all)

on preview... Damn you Tarrama.

I don't even know what a cravat is.

posted by kenko 08 June | 12:11

Well that's most provoking.

I'm an ascot man myself. [Not really, but I'd sometimes like to be.]

A cravat can be whatever you want it to be.

`I know it's very ignorant of me,' Alice said, in so humble a tone that Humpty Dumpty relented.

I won't click the cravat link. I've lived 42 years without knowing what a cravat is and don't see any reason why I need to learn it now. So there.

I just found the most reprehensible midi of "A Very Merry Unbirthday". It's one of those things that's so bad that you have to share it.

I just decided that I actually like it, in that "creepy calliope music from a b grade horror movie that signals that a totally unsuspecting minor character who thinks everything's going swell is about to be murdered" kind of way.

Ah yes, Austen FanFic. I thought the best part was when a character called Darcy "Darce" in the first little bit (how can anyone who's read P&P think that Darcy would be friends with someone who called him Darce?!?), but this may be better than that:

"George Wickham, was a charming engaging scamp, always in scrapes and in troubles that most boys fell into during their youth."

A charming scamp indeed.

You know what's an even more provoking thing than when a person doesn't know a penis cravat from a belt? (NSFW!)
