    They've always seemed a bit odd to me "Oh, I think I'll take this mucous and put it here in this piece of cloth and carry it around with me all day...That will be nice..." Weird.

    I went with playful beagle cufflinks today from the 30's or 40's. I was going for a frivolous mood but it didn't work...

    Yes, as a hat for instance, or laying across puddles so maidens can step on mucous on the hanky in the puddle...And dabbing one's forehead at the opera when it's warm and one wants to go to the outside balcony and smoke...

    Those of us that have read James Joyce: Ulysses know that they can be used to wipe a razor after a shave.

    That, my friend, is utterly, completely . (Being a Mod. I censored myself). Don't start reading Ulysses if you haven't read anything by James Joyce before. Read his books in the order he wrote them. His short stories are on the net; more info here.

    If I remember correctly, Ulysses starts with the shave.

    Now, back on topic.

    Yeah, I've read James Joyce, quite a bit, but I don't like his characters, they all seem a little grotty. Just my opinion...

    Tomorrow's Cufflinks and Pen...

    Name: COTD121212.jpg Views: 185 Size: 59.6 KB

    There's a lot to be said for being able to have a nicely ironed shirt, with nice vintage cufflinks, a nice vintage fountain pen and nicely polished hand made in Portugal boots to wear to work. A lot to be said...
