Sawx Fans: The Jays search is apparently down to three: Sandy Alomar, Jr, and two Red Sox coaches (Farrell and Hale). What say you on the latter two? - Name Withheld By Request Oct 21, 07:31 8

- What I've seen described as a poor boy is a loose-ish turtleneck or mock neck with wide-at least one inch-ribs knit in. -- nm - Trish Oct 21, 07:29

        I guess my brain just blocks out fashion stores. -- nm - celedhring Oct 21, 07:18 1
        
        I don't blame you... -- nm - znufrii Oct 21, 07:37
      - Heh, 3 years living in NYC and never noticed it... not much of a SoHo person myself though -- nm - celedhring Oct 21, 07:06 1

  - I found it highly entertaining - Lon_cHaneY Oct 21, 07:45

        Not to steal your topic, but I'd like to know why she is called Kelly "Purple"... -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 21, 07:58 2
        
        Not sure why they didn't just use her initial too...but it's because she has a purple bikini, I guess. -- nm - Jim Oct 21, 08:00
        
        it was more tasteful than dubbing them "Kelly" and "Kelly One-Leg". - TFox Oct 21, 08:00
        
        I don't know that that matters, mathematically -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 21, 07:46
