Why Evolution is True is a blog written by Jerry Coyne, centered on evolution and biology but also dealing with diverse topics like politics, culture, and cats.
Very nice.
How Boots Can Determine Academic Hipsters.
Now that’s intelligent design.
Take your boots off that book!
…& I sould add “rich, not gawdie: For the Apparell oft proclaimes the man”!
You’re not treating your brand new Sam Harris book very well.
When did dr Isis take over WEIT?
T’was my first thought as well.
Jerry Jeff Walker would be prouda ya, son.
Jerry Jeff recommends getting your handmade boots from Charlie Dunn. Though I imagine Charlie’s not in business after all these years.
Hey it looks like Jerry (Coyne) is getting ready to come down here to Texas and run for the State Board of Education!
Charlie Dunn died a while back, but I’m having a custom pair made from his student and successor, Lee Miller (in Austin)
How much did Sam pay for the product placement?
And how much time do you spend lounging in that position admiring the boots?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Jerry’s just showing off a level of subjective flourishing at the expense of an ostrich.
Ah…but do you have a pair of anteaters?
There are many, many things which I agree of the opinions and statements made by Jerry Coyne. Sartorial matters are not amongst that vast set of agreements. Diversity is grand.
And blue jeans are soooo last year darling.
Very true, but Hawaiian shirts were out last year too, and the year before…and the 50 years before that. 😉
In my perfect world, boots & jeans would be de rigueur.. Weddings, stall cleaning, thesis defense, whatever. All ya need is the right assortment–work boots, fancy boots, grungy jeans, dress jeans…
Surely worn outside the jeans in that case? Particularly when mucking out neddy… – hang on – this is no longer about WEIT!
…or is it?
Uh, well, yes, of course. A totally different kind of boot, too. But given what one’s wading thru whilst mucking out a stall, perhaps still appropriate for a thesis defense…
Chacun à son goût, y’all.
Uh… NO!
You should have some Black’s BBQ shipped up from Lockhart to go with those boots.
Smitty’s is better than Black’s (or Kreuz) in Lockhart, and The City Market in Luling is the best (I’ve never had better BBQ anywhere).
Agreed, but Black’s will ship it to you!
Where are the spurs?
JC is trying to win them! The trouble is you can’t lounge with them on the desk without digging grooves.
Youre SO gonna fit in at Evolution 2011.
Youre coming, RIGHT???
Yes, Abbeh, I have to: I’m the frickin’ president of SSE next year, and have to give the presidential address. I hope you won’t take it as an insult when I say that I wished the meetings were in New Orleans, or San Francisco, or overseas! However, I understand that Oklahoma City has a swell western heritage museum and that there is BBQ to be had.
YAAAY!!!
Those are great for when roaches scurry into corners.
You know you’ve made it as a blogger if a post on your new boots gets 27 comments.
😉
It is only because JC is a busy man – counting flies I expect!
The look like they were made dishing out accomodationist ass-kickings!
