Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for February 19, 2022

He just came from the vestry.

What did you expect once they killed off Han Solo?

But black hoodies still the rage on riot nights, sorry, peaceful protest nights.

It would have been fine if he had just worn it underneath.

So I’ve just discovered yet another English/American vocabulary incompatibility…

A vest is worn under the shirt, next to the skin…

A waist-coat between the shirt and the jacket…

He has a vested interest in keeping the fashion going.

by the powers vested unto thee?

Fashion is one of those (many) things I find insane.

You’re a bit premature, ma’am. The vest is yet to come: Robert Browning said so.

If I still own any of those garments, I’ll have to divest myself of them.

As long as you don’t wear it with a short sleeved shirt your ok. But just.

If they had a hallway exhibit about them it would be called the vestibule.

Scythes aren’t too popular, either

No, no, the dead is vested. Apparently they can tap their retirement funds. Not that you get those when dead, which makes this sort of a catch-22.

How can a vest be dead? Even more frightening, how can it be alive?

guess he needs to divest himself of the vest…
