If you're wondering why I chose the clothes, it wasn't for fashion. I'm a practical, low-maintenance kinda guy. I do a lot of scuba diving, and having crappy sweatshirts around to keep me warm are handy. I usually wear polo shirts in the office. I have some from beer companies and some that I bought from Mountain Equipment Co-op, and I thought that it would be nice to add a poker shirt or two to my work wardrobe.

Play on empire instead and use your points to order enough shot glasses to build a tower in your room.

I could buy just under 100 shot glasses right now, is that a good idea?

Yeah, same here. I'm an old man compared to most of you (41)I wear a suit for work and don't care about labels for my fishing, camping, <insert outdoor activity here> clothes.

Thanks for the info, I was just about to order a hoody. I'm 6'6' and about 16 stone (224 lbs) Guess I should forget it.

Are you a caveman? Why not just use a standard scale instead of stones? BTW who puts the stones on?

Haha thats pretty funny mate.

I don't even know why I used stones, I've been living in the UK for over 10 years now (I'm from Toronto) I guess I'm finally becoming anglicized [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

I'm right into test cricket these days and LOVED watching England win the ashes so yes I AM anglicized.

Hi,

You stole our scale and left the stones behind.

Asking why we don't use the American scale on an American website would indeed be one thing, however asking why we don't use the STANDARD scale, would be incorrect, as stones would be standard for any of the two real nations plus satellites like Canada still stupid enough to use pounds.

In fact, if anything we're all donkeys because most of the world uses kilogram(me)s now. I wouldn't know a kilo if it fell on me and had a big "K" in the middle of it.

It's not fair to say that we Canadians still use pounds. We are stupid though, cause we let the USA's disregard for all things metric affect us. Canada is a messed up nation due to it's proximity to the USA.

See if you can make sense of this:
I buy my meat in grams, but report my weight in pounds.
I tell my neighbour that I drove 2km, but I report my height in feet and inches.
I only know water temperature in degrees F, but air temp only makes sense in degrees C.
When I scuba dive, depth is in feet instead of meters and pressure is in PSI instead of BAR.

The sad thing is that most kids who make it through highschool in Canada become the master of the SI unit and all things metric, yet for some reason we just accept that some things just aren't to be reported in metric.

Weird...

hmm, you've got me beat, I can only order about 90. I did use some of my points for a freeroll once though. I think it would be a cool challenge to see who could build the largest tower out of empire shot glasses though
