Tuxedo


There was a piece in one of the weekend papers about a shooting in Melbourne one Monday morning, and they described the gunman's attire as being a nice new adidas tracksuit, the one with the stripe on the top and the three stripes on the pants. Or, as the journalist described memorably described it, a "bogan tuxedo".

As luck would have it, I was at Luna Park yesterday (in Melbourne) and as I was lining up to get a coffee, the guy in line in front of me was wearing the exact outfit! I surreptitiously took a photo.

He also had a soul patch!
