It appears that ascots have now finally gone out of style.

But...but...what else goes with Birkenstocks?

Assless chaps.

Y'know, I've always wondered why people specify 'assless' when talking about chaps. Chaps are, by definition, assless. If chaps had asses, they'd be pants.

because it would hurt more, you twit comedic value.

They're chaps for people without asses?

As long as there's a well-scrubbed young man solving mysteries in a psychedelic van with his friends and a Great Dane, there will always be an ascot to remember.

But I do believe we've reached the end of the era involving real ascots, pipes and oversized glasses. And that is truly a shame.

They'll still be wearing them in the Midwest 10 years from now.

He was a (blank) fine performer.

Well, ascots are a rare treat and only very special people can get away with them. Much like bow ties. Some people are born to them, others are simply putting on aires.
