What sort of rube uses a metal spoon? And where are the toast points? He might as well be eating a Lunchables.

[–]The Right HonourableMrLaughter 10 points11 points ago

My word, I shall have to procure a Lunchables with caviar meal post-haste!

[–]anhero23 15 points16 points ago

How improper! That man should be enjoying his caviar with whalebone, not silver.

Occupy Wall Street? What in blazes is that? Some sort of brand new music I can purchase for my Phonograph?

I think you mean "The minor situation in the financial district". Correct me if I'm wrong fellows, but I firmly believe this situation shall be resolved once the upcoming season of Meet the Karadashians starts again on the television. Must keep the commoners occupied you know, else they might occupy something else!

I posit the fellow here in question is not so much proper; he is merely dressed in the garb of the common Wall Street aristocrat, looking rather like a ponce with a poor sense of tact.

His actions do not speak to any sense of propriety, or what we might consider "class."

Pinky extended, sir. Not the attribute of a cur.

[–]The Right HonourableVertyx 9 points10 points ago

His jacket is buttoned while sitting though, that is not proper for a man of The millenium. Pinky or not.

[–]The Right Honourablephilonius 0 points1 point ago

Pinkies are extended only by those who imitate the upper class, not by the UC themselves.

Touche, my good chap. But they started by copying someone. Baby steps for the rabble.

[–]thegreatopposer 13 points14 points ago

I'd wager that charlatan is a mite poorer than those he'd like to mock.

And with his mockery, he dost find his own lack of class.

It is not so, observe the gentleman's expression of surprise. His daily lunch away from the throes of finance in the park hath been infested by the most ghastly sort, exemplified by the wretch port-side of our distressed fellow.

If you wish to partake in the rest of the photographic session, please do call upon this dandy place!
