THE EVOLUTION OF THE CANADIAN TUXEDO:
With sincere apologies and due respect to Canadians. Because the style Gods know ‘murica is responsible for Fanny Packs. So, yeah. Also, this.
OPINION PIECE OF THE WEEK: What say you fellas, are you buying this? I am 100% sincere in my curiosity.
TO INFINITY AND BEYOND: Space – the final frontier. I love this stuff.
SOMETIMES ALL I HAVE TO DO IS…provide a link. Nothing else is necessary.
IT’S ALL THERE/THEIR/THEY’RE: I wonder how much this particular style book has to do with what people haven’t learned before hitting the agency? I kid. I kid. Please don’t come after me. I’m fragile.
THIS IS WHY WE’RE FAT: Wait, what? Really? Because I’m not sure I’m buying that explanation as being the complete reason. Some of it, for sure. But there were no such things as these a generation ago.
LIFEHACK OF THE WEEK: How to fold a pocket square.
HOPPLA: I’m sure someone has a perfect explanation. Because, um, awkward.
JUST WHEN I THINK I CAN’T DEAL WITH PEOPLE ANYMORE…my faith in most of us is restored. This deserves a resounding “huzzah!”
THE PERENNIAL BAD ASS:
WIMBLEDON: It has to be Wimbledon. Right? Otherwise, jiminy jillikers.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS WORSE: The poor shmuck in question or the antiquarian barrister responsible for what will be a notorious lawsuit. Then again, some of you guys can school me on all of this.
AND NOW A WORD FROM OUR SPONSORS: I heartily endorse this kid’s apptacular ingenuity.
PERSPECTIVE:
Upside down bats look more or less exactly like goth dancers. I can’t love this anymore than I do. From here.
REAL LIFE SOAP OPERAS…are always more interesting than the telenovas.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH: Apparently the BBC has reached its limit where climate change deniers are concerned. This should be interesting to see if and where others follow suit.
WHEN ALL ELSE HAS FAILED YOU IN YOUR PURSUIT OF PERFECTION: The Flo. You’re welcome.
INCOMING:
Need something else to read?
- Because you never want to be “that guy.”
- Bar skills: always a good thing.
- Classic flick with classic style.

Mr. Linker is right, but I would have preferred he focus on the world around him and the effects of widened usage of the term. The expansion of ‘trolling’ into the popular media vocabulary does some real harm by providing a term that downplays seriousness -by implying insincerity and lack of ill intent- to what you otherwise might call organized abuse, harassment, & stalking.
That dude completely misunderstands the idea of trolling. It’s not “saying something outrageous.” It’s trying to piss people off, for fun, by carefully pushing their buttons. This whole discussion of “is X really trolling if he upsets Y but not Z” is missing the point.
Tell you what, Mr Linker, feel free to stop using the word “troll”. You don’t know what it means anyway.
despite his opening statement, i can’t help but think that mr. linker is in fact purposely trolling with his opinion piece. it’s so far beyond logic that i can’t take it seriously. based on his premise, not only should we rid the world of the term “troll” but rid the world of any word describing anyone, good or bad, because hey… it may be an incorrect assumption. never mind that he’s equating some great (and some notorious) historical figures with trolls (malcolm x? really?). that’s a classic troll maneuver.
