  - If it was mentioned before, the search function must not be working. -- nm - not2fast Mar 9, 09:48 4

- he's probably the smartest guy the Republican's have right now, but his personal life... - Remlik Mar 9, 10:03 3
  - the sad thing is that he's not wrong about some policy stuff... - Mel Profit Mar 9, 10:06 1

Is the first weekend in May too early in the year to try and pull off something like this? -- (link) - znufrii Mar 9, 09:37 19
- [deleted] 1
  - This doesn't make any sense, even for you... -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 10:12
- Not a fan of suits that light. Wrinkles and stains'd stand out more. -- nm - con_carne Mar 9, 09:51
- technically, shouldn't you wait till after Memorial Day? -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 09:38 15
  - It's cotton ... is there a rule about that? -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:41
  - which is why I'm asking - znufrii Mar 9, 09:39 13
    - the only rule I know is for seersucker or linen, and it's neither of those. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:43 10
      - White before Memorial Day. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 09:45 9
        
        is it white? It looks gray on my monitor. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:47 8
        
        Looks off white to me, but is called "faded black" so you may be right. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 09:48 7
        
        the more I consider it, the more I think it falls into the "white" category - znufrii Mar 9, 10:07 1
        
        Hence my "yes". -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 10:21
        
        i looks off-white to me too. (faded black is the stupidest name ever for that, even if it is light grey.) -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 09:56 1
        
        They have always had stupid names, but that one is more than usual. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 10:04
        
        It's realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly faded black. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 9, 09:54
        
        I don't know much about men's clothes, but I think that one would be ok before Mem Day, if the weather is warm. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:49 1
        
        and that's a completely different concern, as well. -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 09:56
    - i mean, rules are meant to be broken, i suppose. just depends how traditional you feel like you need to be, - Andie Mar 9, 09:40
    - yes -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 09:40
I would hope, at the VERY least, LeBron would be less dickish about going to Miami. - Jim Mar 9, 09:37 2

  - (It's marked as Office 2007, but sounds like a similar issue.) -- nm - JaxSean Mar 9, 09:41

      - [deleted] 7
        
        is it possible that your network does not like Windows 7? - groiny Mar 9, 09:45 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        Take it outside. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 09:46 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Whenin doubt... -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 09:50
        
        valid point. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 9, 09:46
        
        *cries* nm -- nm - LeBron Mar 9, 09:42
      - ^ or. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 9, 09:39
- Are the files on your network Office 2003? Or are they Office 2007/2010? - Jim Mar 9, 09:34 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - Then I got nothing. I'm not any kind of expert on that shit. - Jim Mar 9, 09:37
    - That's odd....Win 7 has never been slower for me to open anything. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 9, 09:37
