Also, good to see that you included a remote, as I seem to have misplaced the one to my bedroom TV.<BR/><BR/>Circe - Well, that was bound to happen with a post like this :) Good to see you around again!<BR/><BR/>R8chel - Ah, so that's the technical name for those. I think I just called them Mister Rogers sweaters.<BR/><BR/>Blondie - Of course I know what a DQ is! It's the land where they treat you right. Well, except for that time I got banned from the local DQ. But that only lasted a few weeks, 'til that one girl finally quit.<BR/><BR/>Lucy - Yes!!! Someone mentioned Golden Boy! Love it. I meant to google the line Jerry used when saying goodbye to Golden Boy.

I'm not sure what the proper burial is for knitwear. Also, don't tell anyone, but part of me still believes I'm going to wear it at least once more.<BR/><BR/>Balou - Wow, twelve years? You must take much better care of yours than I did :) From that, I can tell you truly understand this kind of attachment. Thanks for your sympathy.<BR/><BR/>R8chel - I haven't decided on a replacement yet. Would a zip-up cardigan be good or bad?<BR/><BR/>Wow. That's frightening. Thought it kinda makes sense. You'd have to be inebriated to wear one of those things.<BR/><BR/>PennyCandy - Aww, don't say that. Holly Golight is from Capote's Breakfast At Tiffany's. So maybe you're too young instead :)<BR/><BR/>No, but I do have a corduroy jacket with suede elbow patches. I don't wear it without explicit in person approval from a female.<BR/><BR/>Sage - I don't know how to answer that. I will just say that in this case, the sweater long outlasted the girl who sewed it's button back on. Ain't that always the way.<BR/><BR/>TC - I'll take that as an equivocal compliment!Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096591352278195759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-88748787387375631712009-03-05T20:33:00.000-06:002009-03-05T20:33:00.000-06:00I laughed and shook my head the entire way through...I laughed and shook my head the entire way through this post, thinking "Only Bone." :)TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487739742081226423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-12494423719964582582009-03-05T19:47:00.000-06:002009-03-05T19:47:00.000-06:00Bone, do you wear out your women friends like you ...Bone, do you wear out your women friends like you wear out sweaters?
