    No doubt, I just use Tapatalk all the time and my wife/kids jump on my phone from time to time. No problem when the wife stumbled into a thread. Moreso.if the 9-11 year old kids stumble onto it, which they haven't yet. Makes it less obvious.

    It's just a suggestion, and ultimately my responsibility to make sure they don't access "inappropriate content. SSS was a great, innocuous name. This thread name, not as innocuous.

    That is exactly what happened to me with the 11 year old.  I was navigating over to the "Bevoette and Jade's lol pics" thread to show her a pic and she saw the title over my shoulder and asked me about it.  I really would have preferred not to have had the resulting conversation.

  2. Charlie just released a new one!  What a ripper! 

    Fun story... about 12 years ago some buddies and I, on a total whim, got in contact with Charlie and asked him if he'd play a house concert for us in South Minneapolis.  In these parts, Charlie was/is too big to be playing house gigs, but he was intrigued, so he and a couple buddies came down from Duluth and jammed in our back yard for hours.  Top ten night for me.  Sitting on the roof of my house jamming to sweet tunes.

  3. The Pics of Thor I posted are from a bespoke clothier in Minneapolis- King Bros. 

    They offer a pretty good explanation about the difference between custom, MTM, and Bespoke:

    Quote

    Custom

    can mean anything. Choosing a colored lining or fancier buttons gives a suit maker the right to call it “custom.”  Bottom line, “custom” means you’ve had some say in the suit (even something as small as a button color), but the suit isn’t necessarily made for your body.

     

    Made-to-Measure

    means there are a number of symmetrical adjustments (+/-) in girth(s) and length(s) to a pre-existing pattern. Because of this, ‘made-to-measure’ adjustments are limited. They typically cannot make adjustments for shoulder slope, posture, or any significant asymmetrical irregularities in your body, which are common. 

     

    Bespoke 

    refers to the process of creating a unique, original pattern specific to a client's body structure.  Unfortunately, the word "bespoke" has lost the impact it once had in the industry; most custom clothiers will claim to deliver a bespoke garment, but nearly all of them use a made-to-measure process. We are certified Master Bespoke Clothiers, and each of our clients experience a true bespoke process and product from start to finish. Not only do our clients choose each and every detail, but each garment is hand-cut and suits each individual to exact specifications.  With bespoke clothing, everyone is able to see and (most importantly) feel the difference, so be prepared for others to take notice, too.

     

    Their prices are too rich for my needs, but seem affordable enough.. 


    Bespoke Suit  $1095
    Bespoke Shirt $175
     
    Packages
    Introductory $1195
    Standard    $1595
    Executive    $2995
    Advantage  $4095

    Is that pretty standard for Bespoke?
