YOU WILL NEVER BE AS FLY:
OH HELL NO: It will never be ok. Never. Ever. But if you insist, you might be interested in this. Just saying’. (Thanks to Dappered reader Troy G for “the tip.”)
THIS SOUNDS PRETTY IMPORTANT: Techies are freaking the hell out over something called Heartbleed. Here’s one update from Tech Crunch. And for Apple users, this.
VALUE ADDED! Have some creepy crawlies with your zoom zoom zoom!
G-LAME: This kind of corporate nonsense needs to just stop already.
WE COULD BE HEROES, JUST FOR ONE DAY:
I like Miss Monáe even more now that I’ve heard this and read about her love for Bowie.
POTENTIAL WORST NIGHTMARE: Someone is going to be put in the corner for this. Also, shudders.
OVERDUE AND APPRECIATED: This. And I fully understand that at some point I may have used some of this language. I am not proud. Also, anytime I see “epic” used anywhere, I bail almost immediately.
ANOTHER CUP OF JOE PLEASE! Looks like your future visits to the neighborhood coffee shop might be more interwebby thanks to this development. Also, I’m not sure I realized how wi-fi networks actually did their thing before this.
VANITY KILLS…
HOORAY FOR HUMANS: I so did NOT see this coming. I wonder if this is an industry specific thing or if maybe there’s hope for us yet.
KITCHEN RULES: I had no idea that potatoes did not play well with others.
LIFEHACK OF THE WEEK: I have to admit, I’d rather not have these reminders staring me in the face. Out of sight, out of mind, etc. Plus, it just feels like I’m being hassled or something. Leave me alone!
ADMIT IT…
…you laughed. It’s absurd. Until you find out what it can do.
WHEN DID THE NBA…start stealing Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro’s moves? Seriously, this is just lame.
WARNING: There are many people who will fail to see the humor in this. I am not one of them.
EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA WHAT’S COMING: It’s hilarious. My favorite part? Watching the pups take it all in.
GROOVE IS IN THE HEART…AND THE HIPS:
THE UPS AND THE DOWNS: Macy’s might not have won this year’s Store Wars here on Dappered, but they are having a good year all the same. Best Buy & Nordstrom? Not so much.
I HATE TO ADMIT THIS: Honestly, it doesn’t reflect well on my character or my emotional stability. But I’m the guy who has been known to yell at the TV when those ads for men who need a little help in the bedroom air. They always show healthy, active men doing things. I always think, that’s NOT who needs the pills (mostly). VINDICATION!
HEAD’S UP: I have found this to be true. You might want to take another look at your plan.
WE INTERRUPT THIS DOSSIER TO DROP SOME BEATS:
COMING FROM URANUS TO CHECK MY STYLE: Apparently the Zombie Apocalypse will not be limited to the third planet from the sun.
THE AWESOME POWER OF A FULLY OPERATIONAL…Dappered Threads. This is pretty helpful. Thanks fellas.
SEMANTICS: It matters. Always. Come for the title, stay for the comments.
INCOMING!
Need something else to read?
- Now…about neckwear that won’t embarrass yourself…
- I get the idea that the change in seasons is a good reason to remind you all about this.
- This is helpful. I tend to come home with things and then buyer’s remorse sets in. Don’t be like me.

Holy Turkelton!
i would take that Gawker memo more seriously if it didn’t say that it’s ok to use “ginormous” in lieu of “massive.”
i never knew sign language could be so awesome.
Gawker is the worst website on the intraweb.
I clicked on the link… great. Now I get three months of Amazon recommending scatological literature.
Seriously. I can’t stop watching it. I know it’s wrong, but… I just can’t stop!
As for the insurance rates, I think that is kinda bullshit, at least with my company. I am an insurance agent and when people call in to complain about their rates, I don’t have a magic button to just lower the premium or get rid of “PO”. We have to find extra discounts (which 99% of the time there are none), raise their deductibles, or change their coverages to get their rates lower. You may have no new factors that you can see to raise your rates but if that’s the case then usually it is a base rate change due increased claims in a state or area of a state. Insurance is a pool of risk so when the risk in an area goes up or we have to pay more claims in an area, everybody’s premiums go up. It’s just a fact of insurance. We have to file all these rate changes with the state and can’t just lower them back without doing one of the things that I said above.
