I first read this to mean me and thought "how'd she know?" and then I realized you meant the suit was wrinkly. :lol:
You are suitguy. The suit is seersucker!

Hooray! I just now read this thread, not having suspected the fantabulous news it contained when I saw the heading. Here's hoping you get the call!

What was your costume? I don't think I've heard about it before, so forgive me for being oblivious!

Now are you sorry you asked! :D
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

LOLOL! Given the Merry Men in this thread, I thought it might have something to do with The Wizard of Oz. You have such beautiful wickedness about you!

This post should win the Most Uninformative Header award for 2008.

That said, congrats, and here's expecting The Call!
I am about 25% sure of this.

I didn't even open the thread until it got to 2 pages because I had no idea there was important news inside.

See, this is where the rec button would come in handy.

Folks could figure out that not many others would be rec'ing a thread about tmitsss's outfit choices! :P

Yep. I still almost didn't open it because I figured it had just turned into a MM-fest.

Most MM-fests turn into 2 or 3 or 4 page threads.....

So there I was at the mailbox in the seersucker suit jumping up and down when I read my happy postcard. I'm in the Halloween pool!
This is so cool.

I will admit that this thread is particularly peculiar when you have been busy and away from the board.

Halloween pool? New life lines?

I will try not to be away so much.

Fantastic!

Can't wait to hear you got 'the call' as well.

Are you wearing the dress in your avatar? Or the curtains from your bedroom? (obviously a reference from the movie)

Here is the deal:

Suitguy will get the call August 20th. His tape date will be September 4th.

It all works perfectly into my life.

I will have it be so.
