@baqui63 I think their editor quit. Either that or they’ve outsourced their poll writer. There have been quite a few weird grammatical errors recently. Or maybe they just enjoy getting a rise out of those of us who care about such things.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@baqui63@PurplePawprints They seem to have changed writers a few months back because the quality of the write-ups started taking a nosedive then. IMHO, of course. Used to love to read them. Now I generally can’t bring myself to or regret it when I do. But I agree the poll grammar thing may have recently moved from “mistakes of a subpar writer” to “intentional nuisance.”
@baqui63@heidiporn@PurplePawprints so I looked it up on their job site. They are hiring and Carrollton, TX is 4 1/2 hours away from where I live. Very tempting to up my whole life and move them but … Meh.
@mfladd@therealjrn@tinamarie1974 Zardoz! Being a big Sean Connery fan back then, I suffered through it to the lame reveal at the end. Imagine my disappointment when I (also a big Star Trek fan) saw essentially the same lame reveal at the end of the first movie. “V’ger”, gimme a break!
I look forward to breaking out the LLBean section of my wardrobe each year. Hurricane shirts and beflanneled jeans. Why is there a squiggly line under beflanneled? That’s a word! I know because I just made it up!
My adult footie jammies with hood and slits in the wrists so I can wear like fingerless gloves. I don’t love the pattern: red with white bears/penguins, but at least it isn’t pink with unicorns, which is what I think my bratty (read “I love them sooooo much”) kids had been hoping to find me as a gift but settled for this.
New really nice soft lined warm boots, wool hats to keep the heat in, bundling up to stay warm and dry while wandering around in the winter weather, lots of extra blankets.
In SoCal we look forward to being able to wear synthetics. Too hot for nine months of the year to wear them without sweating like a pig wearing synthetics that somehow has the ability to sweat (pigs don’t sweat)(then why did I use that metaphor and why am I posting this without editing the stupid reference to pigs sweating? Is this a lame attempt at humor? Probably).
My ski pants. Obviously it means I’m going skiing! Four more days til Vermont. Seven more weeks til France. Eleven more weeks til Utah. Should be a great winter!
I wouldn’t say I’m “exciting” to wear them, but my go-to winter clothing is hoodies.
They are sweater, scarf, hat and earmuffs all in one garment.
I have various different weights of hoody to chose from, depending on just how cold it happens to be.
Aside from being warm, they’re also some of the comfiest articles of clothing I own.
I should add that this penchant has developed in correlation to my losing my hair.
(I should also add, at the risk of rambling, that I recently realized that I haven’t been “losing” my hair, just misplacing it - it has been migrating from the top of my head to my ears and nose. )
I love my coats, but what I most like is wearing floofy warm houseshoes. I’d rather it were summer, but if it has to be winter, at least my feet are swaddled in down filled comfort.
Oh, I just remembered - my L.L. Bean flannel lined jeans…
They feel like pajamas and are incredibly warm.
I do love wearing them, but they’re actually too warm to wear on any but the bitterest of cold days, of which we get only a few where I am.
My Dad bought me a mad bomber style fur lined hat for dog walking. I can only wear it when its really cold and when my wife is not with me (for totally different reasons ) but I love it and don’t care what anyone thinks when I wear it.
I also have a Swiss officers wool coat that I like a lot; it had buttons inside for a liner I was never able to find but I adapted a US field jacket liner (almost all the buttons actually lined up!) and makes it quite warm. It looks like something a spy or Bogart would have worn in 1940s-60s noir Europe.
@duodec I also have the Swiss Military Surplus Coat. Bought it on Sportsman’s Guide probably 20 years ago. Don’t get much call for it in the desert southwest, but on that handful of really cold days each year it’s great.
None, I hate winter.
@cengland0 I was going to say the same thing with more swearing
I hate to be this guy, but EXCITED not EXCITING.
@baqui63 I think their editor quit. Either that or they’ve outsourced their poll writer. There have been quite a few weird grammatical errors recently. Or maybe they just enjoy getting a rise out of those of us who care about such things.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@baqui63 @PurplePawprints Caring about such things won’t lead me to buy anything here, Meh. Get with the program, or at least the language.
@baqui63 @gertiestn @PurplePawprints meh if you’re hiring an editor I’m always around.

@heidiporn I like the writer. Yes, he/she should definitely add spell check to the process, but the content still amuses me.
For winter clothes it should probably be articles you’re always exiting to wear again.
@baqui63 You don’t hate to be that guy. It’s okay.
Not sweating constantly! Only regularly.
Love winter and all the sweaters, leather jackets and over the knee boots!!
@tinamarie1974 Over the knee boots are HOT!
@mfladd @tinamarie1974 If over-the-knee boots are good enough for Sean Connery, they’re good enough for me.
@mfladd @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 I gotta think that’s gotta be the biggest regret of his life.
@mfladd @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 Zardoz! Being a big Sean Connery fan back then, I suffered through it to the lame reveal at the end. Imagine my disappointment when I (also a big Star Trek fan) saw essentially the same lame reveal at the end of the first movie. “V’ger”, gimme a break!
@mfladd @therealjrn omg why!!! I can never unsee this. What movie is it from??
@mfladd RIGHT!!! but I’m pretty short…those legs are as tall as my WHOLE body lol
@mfladd @tinamarie1974 A little flick called Zardoz. I got to see it on the big screen! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zardoz
@therealjrn @tinamarie1974 Sadly, I must admit I have seen that movie.
@mfladd @therealjrn all good. We have all made mistakes…I mean, I saw Waterworld
Hoodies! I love hoodie season.
Shorts and a T-shirt. Maybe a windbreaker if Florida gets below 70.
@absolut3_zer0 break out the windbreaker! Supposed to be in the 40s tomorrow night where I am.
Winter is my favorite. It’s when I can walk around my house in a tank top and shorts and not still be sweaty.
Kilt, duh.
@un4gvn1 YES!
Pants. Hoodies. Shorts with fun tights and boots. Knee high boots. My one scarf.
Anything to not start sweating as soon as I walk outside.
Level 7 Cloak of Flames
I look forward to breaking out the LLBean section of my wardrobe each year. Hurricane shirts and beflanneled jeans. Why is there a squiggly line under beflanneled? That’s a word! I know because I just made it up!
Wool socks. I hate the cold, but at least I can wear my comfy wool socks when it’s cold.
@smyle I wear my merino wool socks year-round. They don’t bunch up like cotton socks do when my feet sweat.
My holiday sweaters are not ugly, thank you very much.
@katbyter Pics or they don’t exist
I’m most exciting when it’s warm enough to wear shorts, a T-shirt and flip-flops.
Flannel Shirts!
@mfladd What about my tuque, eh? Aw who’re we kiddin’ I wear that year-round.
My field coils.
MY UGLY HOLIDAY SWEATER SAYS I CAME HERE FOR THE EGGNOG
My adult footie jammies with hood and slits in the wrists so I can wear like fingerless gloves. I don’t love the pattern: red with white bears/penguins, but at least it isn’t pink with unicorns, which is what I think my bratty (read “I love them sooooo much”) kids had been hoping to find me as a gift but settled for this.
@mollama More importantly, does it have a butt flap?
A long, fluffy, fleece bathrobe. Exciting.
Nothing. I HATE Winter weather.
I’m in SoCal; what’s winter?
@narfcake ⬆What he said.
Cute boots! Fun hats! Cozy socks!
None of the above. I hate winter and everything about it. Luckily the lowest low where I live are 40’s.
The fugly backwards robe used as a blanket
@rtjhnstn Light blue with monkey faces, acquired on woot 10 years ago?
New really nice soft lined warm boots, wool hats to keep the heat in, bundling up to stay warm and dry while wandering around in the winter weather, lots of extra blankets.
Ski boots
In SoCal we look forward to being able to wear synthetics. Too hot for nine months of the year to wear them without sweating like a pig wearing synthetics that somehow has the ability to sweat (pigs don’t sweat)(then why did I use that metaphor and why am I posting this without editing the stupid reference to pigs sweating?

@squishybrain
/image sweaty pigs
Face masks
Winter?
I have an Irish wool sweater I love.
Leather jacket.
My long leather coat. Where I am, it’s rarely cold enough to show it off, though.
We named my hat, Crow
My ski pants. Obviously it means I’m going skiing! Four more days til Vermont. Seven more weeks til France. Eleven more weeks til Utah. Should be a great winter!
A blanket at night. It’s cozy and I can turn the heat way down low to use it. Can barely stand a sheet the rest of the yr.
Long sleeve shirts. Especially flannel.
Where I am, we have what I call two different seasons… summer and not summer. Summer lasts 9 or 10 months and not summer the remainder.
That being said, I enjoy getting to wear sweatshirts/hoodies during the not summer months.
@ionyx where i’m from no one cares about where you’re from
@zestfromthewest fair enough.
@ionyx It’s about the same here. Sultry and not sultry. Mostly sultry.
my favorite loin cloth my bum gets chappy and i get happy
Boots
I wouldn’t say I’m “exciting” to wear them, but my go-to winter clothing is hoodies.

@DennisG2014 your’s too huh?
Pants like really I don’t get that cold so I rarely wear anything other then shorts and short sleeve shirt
I mostly like to wear a winter coat because they have so much pocket space.
My Pea coat, though around here it’s more of a late fall / early winter article of clothing.
I love my coats, but what I most like is wearing floofy warm houseshoes. I’d rather it were summer, but if it has to be winter, at least my feet are swaddled in down filled comfort.
Oh, I just remembered - my L.L. Bean flannel lined jeans…
