Our state might be a mess, but at least we look good making that mess.

looks like a practice for a SF acapella competition. The Bellas and the Fellas.

Um, deleted people, do you remember our little chat from earlier this week about inappropriate comments?

I always tuck my cuffs into my shoes, you know what we have to wade through in this building.

1. “Does anybody have the number of a tailor? I need to get these pants shortened.”

2. “We need to take this picture quickly, MC Hammer wants his pants back”

“I’ve finally convinced someone else to wear this ridiculous suit.”

Probably checking to see if everyone had their suit nicely pressed for the picture today.

“For the last time, guys, I am NOT Oswego Willy.”

“A ca-’scuse me?!”

“I said what are we doing with our hands? We have to do all one way or all the other or else it looks dumb.”

“Dave Dring doesn’t stand in the back row for anybody.”

Hawkeye, did someone say Hawkeye?

Rich - that is why I did not comment. I was really, really worried that I would be banned for life.

And where is Rep John Bradley in his suit?

Comment by Anonymous Thursday, May 14, 15 @ 3:40 pm
A month from now I can wear the shorts instead of the long pants that came with the suit.

Comment by A guy Thursday, May 14, 15 @ 3:44 pm
The absence of Bradley keeps this from bein’ an epic, bipartisan conclave that could single handedly solve all problems and turn West Indiana into Utopia

Holy cow! Are we South Carolina now? Who’s idea was this . .

“Well at least I look better than Kasper!”

I would remind commenters that Helmut Jahn’s design for JRTC was reportedly inspired by seeing our former governor in a seersucker suit.

I got this suit at Sears

Comment by Stickman Thursday, May 14, 15 @ 3:56 pm
I always though you wore seersucker after Memorial Day. Times are a-changing.

Comment by Nearly Normal Thursday, May 14, 15 @ 4:01 pm
Dring may or may not have already changed into a different suit…

Next stop, Jim Heron’s.

Comment by Hedley Lamarr Thursday, May 14, 15 @ 4:31 pm
TAN SEERSUCKER!! We traditionalist only wear blue seersucker, AFTER Memorial Day!

Comment by Just an Old Guy Thursday, May 14, 15 @ 4:39 pm
It’s too cold for seersucker. Should have waited until July or August.

Of course they’ll still be in session!

Comment by Educated in the Suburbs Thursday, May 14, 15 @ 6:15 pm
Soccermon for the win!

I was young-ish but I distinctly remember a lot of people who would know calling it the seersucker building after it was built.
