Rugged My Ass

I received an email this morning from Banana Republic advertising various clothing and accessory products for sale (though, surprisingly none of the items were on sale). The focus of the add was on “love” and the holidays” so they showed various photos with a love theme (love to get cozy, love a sweater with style, etc…).

But there was one section called “love some rugged essentials”…and it showed scarves.

Since when were scarves rugged? To be honest, I always found scarves to be a bit, well, effeminite in appearance. Don’t get me wrong, I use them. But it’s not an accessory I would consider rugged – even if it was plaid and had food stains on it. There’s just nothing masculine about wrapping a soft, woven garment around your neck for warmth.

In unrelated news, when Randy got back from Asia last week our DVR was at 77%. A week later we’re finally down to 9%…which is a good thing considering he heads out again tomorrow, comes back Friday, then heads out again (for a week) on Monday.

    Did you ever watch that episode of “Fringe”? Man, that was gross.
