Stuff I Like
Stuff and things. We all have them, and there is a supply of stuff and things out there of which we are ignorant–inevitably, for the supply of stuff and things nearly is infinite.
What kind of stuff do I like?
Sunspel Riviera polo shirts. They are nice. They’re super light mesh cotton, but not mesh like “hey I’m wearing a mesh shirt.” I’m not going to link to them because they’re expensive and you’ll think shit that’s a lot of money for a mesh cotton polo shirt. I get them on sale. So Google ’em up if you want.
Electrical Guitar Company guitars. The finest production guitars in the world. Indestructible. Marvelous sound. Kevin Burkett is a great guy and a terrific guitar maker. He makes the bodies, necks, pickups, and much of the peripheral hardware himself. Full-range sound, dynamic response. It’s like they are alive.
M&S Meats jerky. Straight from Rollins, MT. My favorite jerky. I can’t figure it out. I make jerky myself, and I like my jerky a lot, but I can’t do this. Beef, buffalo, elk. Even their teriyaki jerky is great. Order some!
Darn Tough socks. They’re real good. I used to buy SmartWool socks, but I think they sold the company and the qual went downhill (see also Clarks shoes and approx 1 bajillion other companies affected adversely by venture capital, mergers, whatever). I believe I get the standard black with light cushion. They’re definitely black, I know that much.
Purity Coffee. My pal sent me a 5lb bag of this by accident, and that was that. I dunno about all their “health” claims but it’s great.
I couldn’t agree with you more about your opinions regarding socks. The last couple years I’ve been getting holes in my SmartWools right above my heel though. I started mixing my SmartWools with another brand called Darn Tough. They are all made right in Vermont. The best thing is they have a lifetime warranty! They are about the same price too.
I, too, enjoy socks. I often wear them secretly inside my shoes.
This is good. But……I feel like maybe this isn’t a completely exhaustive list. How do you feel about land-locked nations? What about the fact that the CFL used to have two teams named the Rough Riders at the same time?
