Let’s all just pause for a moment to thank the Seattle Times for continuing to keep “phat” in the popular lexicon with this headline: “Horizontal corduroys make you look phat” [#]. While we’re at it, let’s add an extra demerit for their failure to mention the Corduroy Appreciation Club, which might be holding its next meeting on 11 January 2006 [nyer].


Thank you Josh.
The Corduroy Appreciation Club is in fact holding a meeting on January 11th in New York, NY. 1/11 is a date which resembles corduroy. Please see http://www.corduroyclub.com for more information.
