The white long sleeve shirts we had to wear at the wedding were so hard. It seemed as though if you bent your wrist the wrong way, the evil sleeves would cut your hand clean off.

But the wedding was vary fun in the end.

Those were cool sleeves. Actually sleeves just look better if you're wearing a waistcoat/vest.

Another clothing item you don't see people walking around in every day.

Hey, everybody asked. I just had a long time to think about it.

I hate double breasted suits. Also the ones that are poorly fitted, like the one in the picture.
There simply ugly.

Ack! Yes, yes, yes, very true. But could we move this to the Girl talk thread or another thread, as I remember no double-breasted suits in Master and Commander.

Lots of coats though

Just have miniman start another topic since you can't move a reply.

Oh, okay.

Iam right here you two. You know you could talk to me.

I was talking to you. Jon was referring to you in the third person.

Do you still what to continue the conversation?

About sleeves? About suits? About Master and Commander?

The first two.

Well...I think maybe we should leave this thread alone. It is, after all, the Master and Commander thread, and I know Caitlin will want to comment on my sleeves thing..

Caitlin. *whistle* Over here.

Sleeves? Right! SLEEVES! *smiles encouragingly at Hannah* I meant to get here sooner, but my dog...ate...my.... Okay I spaced it, but I've been very sick y'know. *cough cough*

I kinda blame you for making me even notice sleeves Hannah, now I'm always looking at them. All I ever cared about was how long/muscular the guys arms were. And I see what you mean about Will's shirt being silky, actually, it reminds me of that really old paper that they have for wanted posters in westerns. Like it's gonna crunch when you touch it.

I don't know how much I can talk about your little "sleeve obsession" but I can atleast give you something to respond to. I don't think I completely understand it myself, the clearest it was to me was when ol' Murtagh got his sleeve torn off. Our reactions were so opposite, I leaned forward, impressed that he had a nice looking arm, while you made a face at the unnecessarily exposed flesh, and lamented the loss of a perfectly innocent sleeve. Okay, I gotta go. Give your opinion on all this adn I swear I'll check up on it.

*gasp* CAITLIN???? To what do I OWE this GREAT HONOR?? *bows down, kisses floor, pours dust on head*

All right, enough sarcasm..

Hey, I can blame you for making me notice a dozen things, so there.

Whaaaat? Silky and cruchy are not the same thing. Actually, old paper for wanted posters is a good description of good sleeve texture. Real men don't have time to iron their shirts everyday.

:lol: Okay, true. Ol' Murtagh and his infamous sleeve-wound... for one thing, it was cheeeeesy. Yeah, like all of a sudden--no sleeve! Sleeeeeve....no sleeve! (Insert Telletubbies here: Again! Again!) I rather did lament the sleeve loss; he looked sort of imbalanced without it, not to mention lost and a bit deprived of meaning.

Now let's see if you respond to this.

I dont know why Hannah, but your avatar reminds me of a scene with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye in "A White Christmas".

Whaa?? Haven't seen it.

But I'm changing my avatar anyway.

It good, if you like old musicals. Its a little slow though. Boring in parts. We have on dvd.

Huh. I'm really supposed to be writing a history paper right now, and I am so not inspired.

On what?

Martin Luther, and then the Counter Reformation. It's harder to write on a topic you already know about, because then I'm not sure how to present it.

Ohhh, well good luck.

When is it due?
