Interesting pic mate. How'd you find all the poverty? Also, you might be able to help me out. For some reason all the Latter-day Saints I've ever seen wear the black pants, white shirt and red tie combo. Why is that? Just wondering if there's any significance.
Sorry for not responding sooner, but it looks like klymr answered your question. As for the poverty, it really opened my eyes. Being from the United States, I was born with ignorance as to the rest of the world. I only spoke one language and assumed that everything was done in the "American way." Moving to a country where 85% of the citizens would be considered poor in the US (average monthly income was $50 USD!), I learned a lot more about human nature and what things are truly important. Family and friends are top on the list of Mozambicans. What's tops the list of Americans? HDTV? Huge houses?
I knew a families of 11 living in a home the size of my apartment who were genuinely happier than many individuals who live in large, empty multi-million-dollar homes. It really put things into perspective.
On an Australian note, one of my best friends from the mission (he was a missionary with me) is from Adelaide. I haven't talked to him in a while, but you've given me motivation to write him an email.

Heh, my eye is clearly keen from too many jobs in the service industry.
Edit: I think there's a strict thing going on; I'm 27 and was IDed recently in Tescos for buying non-alcoholic beer.
I did think that, but then figured my intended recipient was British and I reckoned the others could look it up.
That's probably the worst lie I've heard in awhile. Just say "I think I look better/more bad@$$ with shades on." The story just makes the whole situation that much more sad

Ok, ok, they're mine.

The first time I read it, I was in disbelief as to what Lau had just said. Then I remembered a story about smoking fags...
me
If ye won't me with a "Smoke more, bitch less" T-shirt, i'd be happy to post it
Please un-pop the collar. Thank you!
Please un-pop the collar. Thank you!
Haha, I was going to post the exact same thing!
Do a lot of kids really "pop da colla" these days? It looked silly when the fad first started 20+ years ago and, well, not much has changed. Edit: Alright Erik, that's probably good advice...
Come on now Shard; you're the one admonishing others for their supposed silliness in their pictures with fashion faux pas?Haha, I was going to post the exact same thing!
Edit: Alright Erik, that's probably good advice...
Pop or not, it's definitely current fashion. You name the brand or style (Polo, Crew, A&F, HC, CK, etc.), popped collars are still quite the norm...
Well, yes, after all, I am the MacRumors Bastard.™
Seriously, it's all good, I was just having fun. If we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at?
And you're right, it's definitely in style right now, so I say go with it! Just like with every other fashion fad, people will look back at themselves several years later and say, "Holy crap, I thought that was cool at the time?!?" It is funny how things come back into style though. Almost everything these days (fashion, TV, movies, design) seems to be retro or borrowed from previous decades - I sometimes question where the originality is anymore, but that's a topic for an entirely different discussion.
So no harm meant at all. If people want to start wearing pink shirts with sequence that's fine by me too - as you say, who am I to criticize?...

What, did you make a law against people who pop their collar! I'll make a law against people putting a smiley face after a dumb comments.
Eh, I'm a popper too. Lay off...
Thanks!
I'll get to that in a second.

You find it as silly as I find old people wearing socks with crocs (or crocs non the less) with a wireless ear piece for their cell phone.
And with current fashion I stand, unless current fashion were to make me do a pony tail, I'm fine.
