Kayelache Posted May 29, 2004 #27 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Where I come from, "smart casual" means you wear shoes, "Semi-formal" means with socks, and for "formal" the socks have to match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newmexicoNita Posted May 29, 2004 #30 Share Posted May 29, 2004 you are all too funny. This really makes me laugh as we lived in the DC area and read the Post all the time in the early to late 80s. WE will take our unsophisticated NM any day. Don't get me wrong, we enjoyed DC but love the casual, classless lifestyle we now live.

Cap'n. Indy Posted May 29, 2004 #31 Share Posted May 29, 2004 I'm reminded of the old adage: "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear." In this case - regardless of how big a newspaper is, you can't make a good travel writer out of a bozo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahoughton Posted May 29, 2004 Author #32 Share Posted May 29, 2004 dradford, Anyone that quotes from the Andy Griffith show has to be sophistocated. For all you unsophistocated (non Andy watchers) the silk purse line was used by Barney referring to Ernest T. Bass at Mrs. Wiley's party.

jbl1510 Posted May 30, 2004 #33 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I guess what I am trying to say is that as unsophisticated as I am I still like to save as much money as possible. If saving money means that I am unsophisticated with low self-esteem then I guess that describes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahoughton Posted May 30, 2004 Author #36 Share Posted May 30, 2004 vijoge, Now we are getting sophisticated when we go back to 1765. Barney is the one that said it not Andy. You need to watch a little educational TV. "Baby lets cruise away from here" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookish Angel Posted June 1, 2004 #39 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Heck, what is wrong with saving some money AND having a less formal atmosphere?!! Personally, the money I save on my NCL cruise to Alaska will be spent on a piece of Native art, probably a Tlingit or Haida mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
