I think my saying of wear what ya like, like what ya wear fits in here very well. Just warn me if ya get to bold so I have time to reach for the sunglasses.

Time to be blunt. I side with Jimmy and Hamish here. It is not okay to just wear what you want. Making people reach for their sunglasses is unkind. Wearing clothes that smother the person inside does a disservice to onesself. The more we talk about "wear what you want," the more likely we are to start using the F-word here -- no, not THAT F-word ... I'm talking about F*******ing. I'm not going to have this forum dragged down there.

On that note, telling the gullible that they can, for example, mix checks with plaids is just mean. It's like ... I dunno, it's like telling the kids you're going out for ice cream, then driving them to the dentist instead once they're in the car. The hapless who are made to believe that there are no rules wind up on shows like "What Not To Wear" (TLC & BBC).

So I will not concede the point just to be polite. I will continue to step on people's toes, whether I'm wearing brogues or steel-toed boots. Keep that Tempest-brand tea coming.

Cream or lemmon? One lump or two?

No cream, no lemon, no sugar. Hot or cold, as long as it's brewed strong.

Besides, you know the old saying about opinions, right?

Yes, I know what opinions are like. Except that people should not unconditionally hide their opinions.
