My first question is how does one acquire a mises.com email address? I recently heard that if one has a mises.org community account and posts in the forums, they can somehow acquire a nifty @mises.com attached to their name.

 

Also...

 

Dear Jeffery Tucker,

As you have the best music as introductions to your youtube videos, I assume you are the de facto artistic director of the LvMI. As such, I believe this request should be directed towards you. Make LvMI cufflinks and sell them to me.

Sincerely,

Jackson

it's 3:43 AM Central. I'm staring at 15 pages of a research proposal. I have no will to finish the last three or four pages and fix the formatting. In stead, I wrote this:

*ahem*

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Automatin' orange accounts to milk t-bills
Although once I was a social-libertarian
Now I'm on kitco makin' deals
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
I mean one that you don't really know
Browsin' with my broker, sniping bailout assets
And turnin' all my loot into gold
Now gangsta-praxeologists come in all shapes and colors
Some got ridiculed in the past
But these gangstas here are the smart ones
Studied marginal utility and they'll last

And all I gotta say to you
Wannabe, gonnabe, rent-seeking', bailout-takin' prankstas
Cuz when dollar takes a dive what the fuck you gonna do
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta .

Cuff links sound nice but hardly anyone wears those things anymore.

Write me for an email address

I just bought some cuff links today.  I would buy Mises.org cuff links too but I admit that I would only buy one pair.

I also support cuff links.  Ones as big as jay bird eggs.  They would go nicely with my alligator hide shoes. Stick out tongue

Jeff says his email is tucker@mises.com. Is that a mistake? I thought it was a .org address. Then again, mises.com directs you to the community page. I never know what to think.

It's really both.

Now, you folks can't really be serious about cuff links. I mean, it takes like 2 minutes to put on a shirt with cuff links. It taks 5 seconds to button a cuff. I just cannot believe that there is any real future to cuff links. It seems like a self-conscious anarchronism, like sock garters or pocketwatches.

Please tell me you aren't serious!

But then again, what do I know about fashion!

Jeffrey, I sent you an email about getting an email address a week or so ago.  I never did hear back.

I am as serious as a pointless bauble.

About 1/2 the shirts I get now require cuff links.  I spent $40 on an emergency pair last night because I had to get something to match a tie I had and the second hand ones I bought years ago were too "flashy" and the free ones they give you that look like little pom poms just did not cut it. 

The company I am contracting for is throwing a Christmas party tonight and I am certain I will not be the only one there with over-priced cufflinks that match his tie.

And now, a word from the auto man

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Gettin' voted to the head of the place
Everything lookin' horrid to the people of the world
But I'm bankin' on some lobbying' grace
Well every now and then I have to beg and plead and cry
So their tough rhetoric rings true
They add conditions to my aid demands
So they can tax you-know-who
So voters of the world keep supporting me
Though I don't plan to change my cars
Competition better not upset me
Or I'll get a tarriff to stop 'em at the shore
To all you union boys who're making the noise
I'd sincerely like to thank you
'Cause it's a matter of time until they bail us out
And damn it feels good to be a gangsta

Wow, ok. Maybe I'm out of touch. Can anyone else help with field research in this area? We need cufflink sightings, including shirts in stores.

About half the shirts I wear require cufflinks. In the young GQ crowd, cufflinks are all the rage now, they've replaced ties as the accessory to wear. Ties are pointless (why do I need to cover my buttons?) Cufflinks are a way to make your shirt personal without shoving it in people's face. I know a button is easier, but you cannot deny that when you see a guy with his cufflinks just showing below his jacket sleeve, you think that he looks good.

ok, this is really out of hand. But now that I think about it, Doug French wears cufflinks. I'll send this thread to him.
