Once in a lifetime an honor as fine as the Class Connoisseurs' <em>Certificate of Excellence </em>is bestowed upon a very special individual. While the award will always be an imperfect attempt to quantify class, the <em>Certifcate </em>serves as our highest form of honoring someone or something that has so greatly given to and reflected the fields of Class and swagger through their actions and accomplishments. An indomitable will to abolish <em>psuedoclass</em>, a demonstration of both boldness and finesse, and a completion of <a href="http://www.classconnoisseurs.com/2011/05/casual-summer-activities.html" target="_blank">every Casual Summer Activity</a> are among the qualities the selection committee looks for in an awardee. <br />
<br />
<br />
With that, we, the Class Connoisseurs, proudly presented Samuel Finney with the inaugural <em>Certificate of Excellence</em> on Friday June 29, 2012 Anno Domini. <br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Visiting a Friend:</span></i></b><br />
<br />
You approach a pair of massive wooden doors, a light elusive aroma smelling slightly of mahogany and a myriad of other exotic hues escape from a gap in the airtight seal of the door to tease your nostrils -<i> the smells transporting you back to the days of old, especially the time you caught that 10ft bull shark, noodling</i> - but only for a brief, glorious second. You pause, as you examine the walls adjacent to the door you begin to panic, there is no doorbell to be found.<br />
<br />
You are deeply distraught and somewhat baffled, then you remember the teaching you absorbed under the tutelage of President Bush. You immediately about face, look under the floor mat and find the rare <i>27</i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><i>ยข</i></span> coin. You pick it up, turn once again to face the door and then find exactly what you were looking for. You insert the coin into a camouflaged slit in the top left corner of the door frame. A rope from the above darkness falls, you grab it but not before inspecting it. You wipe the poison from the tip of the rope. You laugh at the un-originality of using the poison of the Amazon Poison Dart frog, arrogantly exclaiming "The triviality!"<br />
<br />
You tug the rope, not too soft, but not too hard. Chimes of bells erupt filling the once silent air with a beautiful summoning call. Three seconds pass, an eye only slit is slid open, a questioning voice with a heavy Antarctic accent asks "What is the password?" You cup your hands around your mouth and whisper "<i>North</i>". The eye slit abruptly shuts, the muffled sounds of multiple locks and deadbolts being unlatched can be made out through the still softly echoing bell chimes. Finally, the click of the door handle itself, you wait in anticipation as the right door swings open slowly on well oiled hinges, only small creaks may be heard, until coming to its final destination. A few seconds pass, anticipation grows. You scratch your scar from your days as a secret operative, it's a bad habit now.<br />
<br />
At last, a balding head materializes, followed in quick succession by his torso and finally his legs. "Good evening sir. How may I be of assistance?"<br />
<br />
And that is how you saved the world from ebola.<br />
<br />

Yes, it is a routine that appalls and insults all five senses, but it also happens to be one that all humans have in common. There is an undeniable sense of relief that arises after using the commode, a vague reminder that we are all mortals. Fortunately, this post won't focus on the finer points of using the restroom, rather, we shall appreciate the underlying qualities of the fine lavatories which celebrate this action.</div><div><br />
</div><div>A classy commode is a truly beautiful thing. It is simply outstanding how far humans have come to turn even the most grotesque actions into pleasant experiences. Most private lavatories today come equipped with yesterday's newspaper, a crinkled up Sports Illustrated from 2001 that you know cover to cover, and a painting of the ocean that makes you seasick. None of these items will enhance your experience very much. If you would like to bask in the presence of irony, as any scholar would, then your luxurious restroom should contain all of the following things:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Marble flooring</li>
<li>Speakers playing the soothing sounds of the saxophone. </li>
<li>A replica of <i>The Thinker</i> or Michelangelo's <i>David. </i></li>
<li>A solitary dove flying about</li>
<li>Tomorrow's newspaper</li>
<li>A chimney</li>
<li>State of the art 23 carat gold toilet with auto-wiping mechanism</li>
<li>A Chandelier </li>
<li>Toilet paper made of the finest linens</li>
<li>A mini fridge</li>
<li>A small pond stocked with koi fish, tastefully supplemented by a trickling waterfall.</li>
<li>Those really nice cloth hand towels that are supposedly disposable but make you feel guilty for throwing them away.</li>
</ul><div><br />
</div><div>Now that you have a good feel for what a lavish lavatory should contain, we would like to leave you with the smooth saxophone stylings of George Michael. </div></div><div><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Before we begin, we would like to observe and apologize for our blatant hypocrisy in not having hand written this post and sent it to you via carrier pigeon. Now that that is out of the way...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In this age dominated by instant messaging via AOL and tweetering, (or whatever the hell it is you kids use) it is easy to forget that you have a mailbox attached to your abode. Mail is understandably associated with bills and pizza coupons, but there was a time when messages from friends both far and near arrived to your doorstep. These messages were hand written genuine greetings that usually contained high levels of class.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here are a some of the finer qualities accompanied by hand written letters that we seldom see today.</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Rampant misspellings demonstrated the true level of intelligence of writer.</li>
<li>Handwriting was truly a display of art and individuality.</li>
<ul>
<li>Cursive is undeniably aesthetically pleasing.</li>
<li>One could see the emotions you put into your letter through your handwriting.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption">Yes, people still used cursive even after the fifth grade.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Wax stamps: Need we say more?</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Ability for women to leave smell of perfume or a lipstick smudge from a kiss</li>
<li>Because there is no backspacing, letters tend to be more thought out and poetic simply to avoid the shame of an incoherent sentence or an ugly cross out. </li>
<li>The ability to enclose other things in an envelope:</li>
<ul>
<li>A cutout of a newspaper article from your grandmother that mentions you.</li>
<li>Money</li>
<li>Anthrax </li>
<li>Oxygen</li>
<li>Pizza coupons </li>
<li>Stolen artwork that isn't very big</li>
<li>Photographs</li>
<li>Hand-drawn artwork: <u>Preferred artist age:</u> 3-7. <u>Preferred utensil employed:</u> crayon. </li>
</ul>
<li>Doodles. Electronic communication has strongly inhibited our ability to draw a nice cube in the upper right hand corner of a message or maybe some good squiggly lines near the header.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;"><ul></ul>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Additionally, many unpleasantries have arisen since the downfall of the hand written letter.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>The arise of MLA formatting</li>
<li>The abuse of Comic Sans. </li>
<li>The use of "lol", "rofl", "gtg", or any other unfortunate acronyms of phrases allegedly too long to type.</li>
<li>e-cards emailed and forwarded to you from your aunt at least three different times.</li>
<li>Everything that is not a wax stamp</li>
<li>The Kardashians. Unrelated to hand written letters but a stain on the underpants of society nonetheless</li>
<li>Having the other party expect an immediate reply when something is sent to you.</li>
</ul>
<div>
As you can see, there are many reasons why hand written letters are fine things. People tend to appreciate them much more knowing you put pen to paper and wrote something yourself. Their lessened use by society is creating a horde of unwelcome lifestyles. So we strongly encourage you to begin mastering this last art.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
With many people in today's society yearning to display their individuality, we, the class connoisseurs, would like to reiterate that in high society, any single person can be stripped to their basic behaviors and be put into one of two groups. See where you are in the following list.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Those who wink with the left,and those who wink with the right</li>
<li>Those who wear bow ties, and those who wear normal ties.</li>
<li>Those who aren't not classy, and those who are classy.</li>
<li>Ladies and Gentlemen</li>
<li>Those who complete their sentences, and those</li>
<li>Those who read Class Connoisseurs, and those of have Class Connoisseurs read to them.</li>
<li>Those who tie their shoes every time they sport their shoes, and those who leave them tied for what is seemingly a lifetime.</li>
<li>Those who can tell time by the sun's position and those who wear fine wrist watches.</li>
<li>Those who give firm handshakes and those who don't have hands due to a bull fighting accident back in college.</li>
<li>Those who are in touch with their deepest emotions and thoughts and those who's countless philosophical revelations throughout the course of their lives has exhausted the mind from searching for new view points of the world and is content with living life one moment at a time.</li>

One accessory, namely the <i>pocket square</i>, has kept its classic roots, only to be grossly underused by today's gentlemen. Nothing quite says <i>finer thing</i> like a silk square tucked neatly inside one's bosom pocket, patiently awaiting its opportunity to be used in suave and gentlemanly ways. You see, intrigued reader, pocket squares hold a myriad of functions.<br />
<br />
<br />
Uses of the pocket square include but are not limited to:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Wiping the spilled wine off the table as it nears your lady's expensive dress.</li>
<li>Shielding spilled wine in midair from ruining your lady's expensive dress because you have extraordinary quick reflexes.</li>
<li>Absorbing the spilled wine from your lady's expensive dress because you have slow, sloth like reflexes.</li>
<li>Gently slapping insubordinate people to remind them to mind their manners.</li>
<li>A tourniquet to save your friend's leg from that nasty shark wound.</li>
<li>Wiping away the tears of the bride's parents</li>
<li>Magic tricks</li>
<li>Emergency bull fighting </li>
</ul><br />
HOW TO FOLD<br />
The fine part of the pocket square lies in its simplicity. A pocket square should always be folded modestly, never yelling and begging for the attention of others. Rather, it should gently whisper to others as they subconsciously admire your neatness. A two or three triangle fold is usually appropriate.

<div style="text-align: left;">
The beckoning predisposition to explore what no man has explored, to see what no man has seen, and to touch what no man has touched lies within all of us.This inclination applies to all things uncharted, unexplored, and most importantly unclaimed. The act of claiming territory is one that has greatly impacted history, at times giving birth to prosperous civilizations while waging violent wars on other occasions. But there are truly fine qualities that accompany those who dare to tame savage lands with honest and good willed intentions for the future.</div>

After reading and grasping the <a href="http://www.classconnoisseurs.com/2011/01/origin-of-winks-part-1.html">context</a> of this gesticulation, one may be asking oneself "how may I, a mere fledgling, execute this timeless expression properly?" Fear not restless aspirant. In this post, we will take a gander at a handful of the wink's legendary uses.<br />
<br />
<i><b>The Function</b></i></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">After its birth into the classy culture, winking has evolved into many roles crucial to the classy man's life. Here are some of its commonly practiced functions:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Since the age of the Renaissance, men have been execute the wink to woo women. Damsels' hearts melt when given the wink. But be cautious, for this trick of the trade only works if carried out with the correct balance of swagger and chivalry.</li>
<li>In stark contrast, winking can also be used to shower confidence among worried compatriots <i>before</i> performing heroic events. It is said that Stonewall Jackson winked at his fellow confederate soldiers before they defeated the Union at the first battle of Bull Run.</li>
<li>Winking has also been famously used <i>after </i>heroic acts. When used in this manner, the receiver of the wink may fall into a depressed state as the guilt of ever doubting you overwhelms them.</li>
<li>A wink given at the business table signifies that an<i> under the table deal</i> is developing, even though the wink is given above the table.</li>
<li>Like its less impressive cousin, <i>the blink</i>, winking provides moisture for the cornea and helps remove debris from one's eye.</li>

<li>A gentle slap to the face</li>
<li>A powerful slap to the face</li>
<li>An incurable rash on the forehead</li>
<li>Broken dreams</li>
<li>A fine upwards to $560</li>
<li>Nausea </li>
</ul></ul><div>The world of class has given us the wink so that we may use is appropriately. The logistics behind the wink's powers transcends our understanding, and thus it is a challenging weapon to wield. Moderation is key, for the more you wink, the less significant it becomes.

Hosts as well as fellow guests expect your presence at the designated time. At every event, however, there's bound to be those who fail to adhere to the invitation's arrival time, resulting in ungraceful tardiness. These late comers are usually uncouth in their entrances. Yet, on occasions all too rare, a guest arrives who has masterfully transformed this reckless action into an admirable gesture. For ages, classy gala goers and anthropologists alike have wrestled with one of the few contradictions in the realm of class. How is it that one can be late in such a manner that yields an equal or greater welcome than that given to those who arrived on time?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Well, we too are bewildered by the mysterious forces that dictate this ambiguity. However, that isn't going to stop us from presenting you with some tips on how to conduct yourself when you've mismanaged your time. </div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Under absolutely no circumstance shall you fabricate an excuse and be late on purpose. This sad cry for attention is the epitome of <i>psuedoclass</i>.</li>
<li>Never attempt to conceal your tardiness. Embrace the fact that you had other matters to attend to with swagger. Your host, for reasons unknown, will praise your honesty. </li>
<li>If you <i>are</i> the host, it is always frowned upon to arrive late.Your butler will be most displeased with you if he winds up entertaining your guests.</li>
<li><b>Do </b>arrive in style: If the event you're late to is of a mobile nature, such as a yachting adventure, guests will be quite entertained as they see you gaining ground on the yacht while on your jet ski, in proper event attire.</li>
<li><b>Don't</b> worry about your appearance after you've just saved the village from a potentially catastrophic stampede of elephants in the pouring rain. You can sow the sleeves of your button down shirt back on at another time. </li>
<li>If you're already late and you feel as though your attendance at an event has no bearing in the infinitely large universe because you've entered a level of philosophical mediation in which your brain no longer perceives time in a linear manner, snap out of it. There are people waiting to be charmed.</li>
<li>Never announce your tardiness ahead of time. Your host would rather preoccupy himself with the guests who were punctual than grieve over the fact that you won't be gracing his event for the next hour. </li>
</ul><div><br />

This constant advancing has always been fueled by the astounding achievements and breakthroughes of many distinguished individuals. To properly honor these achievements, mankind has produced a grand array of monuments. Some of these mementos are extraordinarily fine whilst others are mundane. Regardless, monuments manage to depict what mere recollections cannot. We've compiled a gradient of the amount of class demonstrated from different types of monuments. This hierarchy may also serve to assist you in measuring your own worth to the world.<br />
<div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Birth Certificates: </b>The article that proves your existence. It is considered very difficult to be classy if one does not exist.</li>
<li><b>Photographs:</b> Pictures are the most easily obtainable monuments to date. However, they require no standards of self dignity or even a smidgen of class, as portrayed in today's social networks and such. </li>
<li><b>Reserved Parking Spots:</b> Occasionally, a parking spot will bear someone's name, announcing that due to there importance and/or social status, they deserve to station their vehicle in the convenient area more than others.</li>
<li><b>Wikipedia Pages:</b> A monument that resembles a branching out. Not only the people in your immediate reach recognize your popularity. Information from various sources must be used to confirm your distinguished accomplishments</li>
<li><b>Paintings: </b>A painting that depicts you is often a result of your actions inspiring someone to use their God given talents. This is valid indicator that you've accomplished something with noticeable levels of class.:</li>
<li><b>Urban Legend: </b>Though not a tangible monument, the spirit of the town folk who retell your heroic feats and speculate on what you were fed as a child prove that you're a virtuoso of class.</li>
<li><b>Face on Currency:</b> You've achieved such a level of honor amongst your fellow people that they'd like to recognize you and your extraordinarily feats on federal notes.</li>
<li><b>A Statue: </b>A statue is the ultimate worldly monument to one's class. Here is why:</li>
<ul><li>Statues immortalize not only the person they represent, but also the eminence with which they lived. Statues are spawned to commemorate their subjects. They yearn to harbor as much class in their sculpted bodies as their subjects did in life. The inherent fineness of these objects can be appreciated anywhere, whether that be in a gallery in Florence or merely in a public park.</li>
</ul></ul></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">There is, however, a far superior rendition of the statue. As our friends at <b>Mt. Rushmore</b> have already figured out, some men deserve not a monolith made of bronze, but rather, an image weaved into nature.</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

These finer qualities' longevity proves to play a key role in the fermentation of the wink for the duration of all of existence. We wish not to describe the uses of this gesticulation, rather we only hope to scratch the vast surface of this great action's history and impart some insight on what great task one is accepting when he becomes a sporter of the <i>wink</i>.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><b><i>The Historical Source</i></b><br />
Said to have been discovered by Ferdinand Magellan during his world voyage in the early 1520's, winking has remained a prominent gesticulation for almost 500 years and counting. Though Magellan was unfortunately killed during the latter part of his excursion, the remaining members of his crew courageously braved the treacherous oceans to relay his great finding to the whole world<i>.</i> Sadly, Magellan was the only human alive who knew the precise origin of the wink, and so the origin went to the grave alongside our beloved Ferdinand.<br />

</tbody></table><br />
<b><i>The Scientific Theory</i></b><br />
Scientists have hypothesized the alleged origin of the wink, which is: the wink is a distant member of the <i>Monobrow-ious Elevation-ium</i> family, a very prestigious family that have served as pronounced figures in the class world. Though there is evidence that at one time there were many as many as 27 different variations of the <i>raising of a single brow</i> and winking, natural selection can be attributed to the elimination of the weaker, less classy gesticulations.<br />
<br />
<b><i>The Historic Uses</i></b><br />
Many a historian might recall the numerous instances winking has been exhibited during a momentous occasion, so we have compiled a brief list of some of the various instances when it has been displayed. Some of them are:<br />
<ul><li>Christopher Columbus allegedly winked upon first sight of the wondrous shores of the Americas</li>
<li>Groundhog Day, 1964: the groundhog, upon its arrival to the surface, winked</li>
<li>June 20th, 1969, Neil Armstrong winked as a token of good fortune to the Moon</li>
</ul>Winking is an expression whose timeless roots overshadow today's misconceptions of the gesture. Due to its rich history and mysterious origins, the wink is an action that must be delivered with grace throughout its many classy uses. However, that lesson will have to wait for another day.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">Aromatic Stimulant</span></b> - Any fabricated smell able to be applied with the intention of increasing ones levels of class, courtship, or comeliness. </i></div><br />
A classy individual continuously expels certain fine qualities that construct their essence. One particular quality, odor, is an absolutely essential ingredient of the mien. It is an ingredient that is capable of exponentially increasing one's courtly presence but, if improperly used, can sour the entirety of the mien one has worked so hard to create. Class is a sensitive scale, too much or too little of something can throw the delicate balance off very easily, and this has to be taken into account when one deals with <i>Aromatic Stimulants.</i><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Aromatic stimulants</i> provide the one and only opportunity to appeal to a sense that no other article, item, or thing pertaining to class is able to, that sense is the sense of smell. <i>Aromatic stimulants</i> act as an aura, extending off one's corporeal body and into the air. And although one's suaveness can cause one to </span>figuratively<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> radiate class, <i>aromatic stimulants</i> do so in a literal manner.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">We've devised a list to assist you in practicing the proper use of <i>aromatic stimulants:</i></span><br />
<ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">One should be alerted to a dilemma concerning your <i>aromatic stimulants</i> when others near you begin to faint, though</span> on rare occasions this can be caused by an overabundance of charm.</li>
<li>Apart from harboring fabricated aromas, it is viable for one to expel figurative scents by conquering seemingly insurmountable ordeals or by having an unprecedented streak of favorable outcomes. </li>
<ul><li>e.g: the <b>smell of victory</b> and the <b>sweet smell of success</b>.</li>
</ul><li>Contrary to popular belief, it is not true that if you simply ignore body odor, it will eventually <i>part ways with your pits</i>.</li>
<li>When appreciating the scents of others, it is considered classy to waft the smell to your nose rather than recklessly sticking your face in front of it. Why go to the smell when the smell can come to you?</li>
<li>Utilizing a consistent aromatic stimulant will create a unique bond between you and your aroma, producing an unmistakable identity. </li>

<div style="text-align: left;">There is a place in this grand country of ours where the people are as kind and hard working as the land is majestic, where integrity and trust are nothing short of instinct, and most importantly, where<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>class is abundant amongst its inhabitants. This place transcends its fine properties built of its beauty and history into a lifestyle anxiously embraced by its people. This place, is the South. </div></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
For those unclear on where exactly the South resides, the following picture should help clear up any mis-perceptions on where exactly the South is. After much persistent research and contemplation we, <i>The Class Connoisseurs</i>, have produced a rough estimate of where the South might be found:<br />

The South is much more than just a region of land; it is an attitude towards life. An attitude which arose from the deep depths of class that was first promulgated around the time of <i>Manifest Destiny</i>. Obviously an attitude can be neither regulated nor controlled by ones mere location on a map, so one needs not to fret..<br />
<br />
As you, the reader, should already know, functionality of an article of class is key. It may well be the deciding factor in determining whether an article or item is classy or <i>psuedoclassy</i>. The South as a region has a unique climate and natural balance that requires one's wardrobe to accommodate many region specific articles of clothing. Items ranging from cowboy boots to seersucker pants are all products of and specifically tailored to the likes of the South. A Southern always possesses an acute understanding of occasion by occasion dressing.<br />
<br />
If you seem to have the misfortune of physical location, that is you live outside of the South, we encourage you to look within yourself, examine your motives and life goals, and ask yourself these three simple questions:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Do I want to be classy?</li>
<li>Do I like classiness?</li>
<li>Don't I not want to not be classy?</li>
</ul><div>If you answered yes to one or more of the questions above, the South may be the right place for you. We encourage you to look deeper into yourself and further your investigations by examining the plethora of opportunities the South presents.</div><div><br />
</div><div>The South's rich history resonates from the very beings of its inhabitants, who perpetuate the simplistic and wholesome, albeit sophisticated, knowledge of class. Optimism, always hanging on the tips of their tongues, serves as just another weapon in the immense arsenal of amiability, which complements the mien that makes the south, the <i>South</i>.</div><div><br />

Whether witnessed in an artist's rendering or experienced through ones life, lighthouses have been thought provoking figures for centuries. Today, lighthouses do not offer much in terms of guiding vessels to safety. But the void left by lighthouses' lack of functionality in today's world is replenished by various elements of unadulterated <i>class</i>.</span></div><div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Each lighthouse is like a diary, whispering to us all the fascinating things it has witnessed since its birth upon a rock. Tales of successful guidance to the shore and recollections of the constant hard work put forth to maintain the lighhouse are woven into its cylindric architecture.</span></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">A lighthouse does not hide. Its brilliant lamp sits upon a statuesque base, reminding the coastline of its protective nature.</span></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">And most importantly, a lighthouse is <i>timeless</i>. They are mighty testaments to the boundary between the land we reside on and the treacherous waters we valiantly explore.</span></span></li>

</tbody></table>Seldom does a man made object grace this earth with such a classic nature. In its silence and humility, a lighthouse manages to tell so much with a great deal of pride. The horizon and a lighthouse collaborate to create a wonderful panorama, for they need each other like you need this blog. In summation, lighthouses enhance a coastline's scenery where most works of human hands fall short of complementing any landscape, leading us to the conclusion that a lighthouse is, without argument, a finer thing.<br />

The cap has a great, albeit modest, nature that comfortably dwells within the world of finer things. Now, what exactly is dropping a cap? Don't fret, oh dear apprentices of class, we shall alleviate your daunting curiosity. Our more experienced readers may prefer the phrase "<i>embedding an elevated character upon ones prose</i>". Often misunderstood, the purpose of this wonderful literary mechanism is to set a tone that says "this literary work, which has lain dormant awaiting a single, paramount moment that will fulfill its purpose of enlightening its reader, should contain class". Even if the content that follows the capital letter is stupid or disappointing, one should still be able to (on a more philosophical level) appreciate the tangible beauty of hand written characters and the intricacies of language. On another note, you may read this and believe that if you capitalize all your letters, you will be of supreme class. But alas, you are gravely mistaken. As with all things class, the <i>cap</i> must be used with temperance and moderation.<br />

</tbody></table>This <i>cap</i> not only encompasses the literal capitalization of the first letter in a literary work, but also takes on the adjective meaning of the word <i>capital</i> -meaning "excellent, chief, or important". Let that be a small vocabulary lesson that we suggest you apply to your daily life.<br />
<div>Capitalization of the first linguistic character in a literary work, ordinary sentence, or a <b>solitary word</b>, is truly of finer nature.</div><div><br />

Those of us residing in the North Western hemisphere are being graced with weather of enticing and enthralling qualities that have drawn us from the shadows of stress and immobility and into the brilliant light that is physical activity of a care free nature. And as if these refreshing months had not been sufficient enough, we humans have already witnessed spectacles of great beauty and grace in the form of sport. Sport, contrary to the opinions of many confounded minds, is indeed a measure of class. When sport reaches its pinnacle of ability and skill, class radiates uncontrollably. This summer has been a testimony to that. Perhaps you need some analysis and insight of these events in order to fully comprehend their magnificence.<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The World Cup:</span></b><br />
<div>-The greatest summation of patriotism</div><div>-The most severe tester of nerves</div><div>-The grandest asking of teamwork, spirit, and pride. </div><div><br />
</div><div>For one month, emotions of ecstasy and agony mutually arose to fill the minds of fans and players alike. As humans, we have little decision but to appreciate the harmony and rhythm that drives a team to victory. To perform in such synchronicity and determination as to win a match on the biggest stage of all requires class and grace. The team captain leads ten fellow men to represent an entire country in a battle of strength, speed, and aggression. The effort and grit that players sacrifice echo the cries and adrenaline of Alexander the Great's conquering of the Persian Empire. Eventually, only one nation remained. The Spanish were fully deserved champions, as they overpowered and outclassed teams with the swagger of one thousand matadors.</div><div><br />
</div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wimbledon: </span></b></div><div>-The epitome of tradition<br />
-The ultimate hybrid of elegance and athletic ability<br />
-The supreme demander of grace and composure<br />
<br />
A little known and somewhat controversial fact is that w<i>imbledon</i> is in actuality a synonym of <i>class. </i>The amount of class that has oozed from the small London suburb of Wimbledon since 1877 is unmeasurable by even the most advanced technology and unfathomable by a majority of observers of the tournament. The grass courts that gently caress the bounce of the ball are as pleasing to the senses as the aromas of history and tradition that reek in Wimbledon's atmosphere. Then, there are the matches. Matches demand a level of mental and physical composer uncontested by any other sport. These matches take place in abundance every year, but one match this summer was so glorious that we have deemed it worthy of this class-gluten blog post. In what critics are labeling the greatest tennis match ever...<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>...John Isner</b></span> and <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nicolas Mahut</span> </b>put forth so much class that we, the <i>Class Connoisseurs,</i> have found that there are sparse words eloquent enough to worthily describe their feat. Like two equally ingenious generals plotting against one another's armies for decades on end until the last stroke of grace puts a halt to the madness, these warriors never ceased to expel class from their rackets in all eleven hours they played. These two individuals have set the standard for mankind in matters of sporting class.<br />
And for that we say thank you, summer.<br />
Stay Classy,<br />

</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>...For it shields the sight of unsightly chest hair...</i><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>The absorber of perspiration</b></i><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>...For it acts as the last stand in the never ending war on pit stains...</i><i><br />

</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>The psuedoclass-proof vest</b></i><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>...For it protects us from unclassiness like a bulletproof vest does bullets...</i></div><br />
Nothing completes a look quite like the white semicircle situated beneath the gentle downward-sloping arc formed by the collar and button. The <i>Undershirt, </i>also referred to as the <i>Nethershirt,</i> acts as a classy person's canvas, on which they create their masterpiece by assembling dynamic coexistence between the Polo horse, the base color of their choice, and possibly a small pattern that coincide in perfect harmony as they rest loosely around the torso of their maker.<br />
<br />
Though officially unknown, the <i>Undershirt's</i> origin can be dated as far back as the <i>"Pre-NameBrand-ic Age"</i>, an era void of any common knowledge of class, where <i>psuedoclass</i> roamed freely as it pleased contaminating any unlucky, innocent soul that crosses its path with its terrible affliction. It was said to be more devastating than the Black Plague. Thank the class gods for human's ability to innovate, thus producing --><i> The Nethershirt</i> - believed to be mankind's adaptation to compensate for the loss of the ability to grow thick, insulating chest and upper torso mane, thus losing the vital ability to grow your own clothes as some may say. Today, those of Spanish origins are fortunate enough to have remnants of this fur-like hair. This offers them the luxury of being classy <i>without</i> an undershirt or <i>with</i> an undershirt. The rest of us must abide to the latter. So kudos to you, Spaniards, for keeping this long lost gem as part of your genetic makeup. To give you a better sense of just how long ago this was, we, the <i>Class Connoisseurs</i>, have composed a time line.<br />
<div align="center" style="color: #ffd966;"><br />
<div><i><b><u>Thick, Fur-like Hair</u> --> <u>Loss of Thick, Fur-like Hair</u> --> <u>Undershirt</u></b></i></div></div><div align="center" style="color: #ffd966;"><i>^ ^ ^</i></div><div align="center" style="color: #ffd966;">Pre-NameBrand-ic Age ----- "Class Purgatory" ----- Modern Era</div><br />
Though extremely complex, this timeline above gives us the conclusive evidence needed to support our hypothesis. After much analysis from the best in the field of classiness, it can now be assumed with reassurance that some sort of undergarment has been sported for all of mankind's time of existence. Which means the <i>Undershirt</i> has been most literally <i>aged to perfection.</i><br />
<br />
On a different note, there are certain things that should not ever be done while sporting this fine article of class we've dubbed <i>the Undershirt:</i><br />
<ol><li>Never should the sleeves of the <i>Nethershirt</i> out length those of thy Outershirt </li>
<li>Never should one observing a sporter of the <i>Undershirt</i> be able to see the likes of any kind of desgin through the Outershirt that could cause a distraction and thus hinder the full appreciation of such an aesthetically pleasing masterpiece. The <i>Undershirt</i> is solely a undershirt, no t-shirt can be merely "converted" to the <i>Undershirt</i> status </li>
</ol><div style="text-align: left;">As with everything else contained in this blog, "Easier read, than done". We've given you the legend on the mysterious Map of Class, now it's up to you to scour the topographical depiction in search of the classiness that is hidden somewhere deep down inside of you. We wish you best of luck.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

These aromas come in many a form during these blistering hot months. Whether it be the refreshing dip in the pool or a good willed sporting tourney amongst friends, summer offers no shortage of thrilling excitement and freedom. However, nothing epitomizes this freedom quite like an outing to the beach. A visit to the borderline between the land we love and the abundant mysteries of the ocean frontier is capable of revitalizing even the most fatigued. At the beach, the cooling waters of treacherous oceans and the soft sands of the land combine to create the unmistakable sounds of waves flowing and breezes blowing. This landscape embodies summer by inscribing a nonchalant approach to life towards all its inhabitants, rendering them capable of constructing castles, consuming corn chips and soda without question, and purposefully allowing themselves to be scorched by the arriving remnants of the sun's 5,778 <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">degrees K</span> radiating surface.<br />

</tbody></table><br />
Astonishingly, I have managed to partake in a superior rendition of the above paragraph in what can only be labeled as an unprecedented occasion of class. Recently I engaged in a brief stay at a beach front condominium who's exotic whereabouts cannot be revealed as requested by the UN. Come the end of an extraordinary sun filled day, I felt a yearning to unwind. It was not my choosing to go out on beach that night, for on this occasion I was merely an actor in a play entitled <i>destiny. </i>As the moon's blossoming light guided me in solitude towards the beach, I was enlightened as to why Walt Whitman used this activity as the title for one of his <a href="http://www.poetry-archive.com/w/on_the_beach_at_night_alone.html">poems</a>. Although I had thoroughly enjoyed the excitement brought forth while spearfishing <i>several great white sharks</i> to protect an endangered species of fish, it was no match for the soothing nature of the post twilight beach. The following list describes what I observed this night as I laid back on my towel made of the finest silks:<br />
<ul><li>The only sounds that sounded were those of the thunderous waves from restless oceans seeking refuge on the receptive shore and the breezes of a million tides echoing the turbulence of the sea.</li>
<li>The only sights that were seen were the arriving lights of stars after a journey of light years and the soft glow of the moon giving hope to the nocturnal inhabitants of the earth.</li>
<li>The only smells that were smelled were the freshershist aromas that naturally spew from these tropical lands.</li>
<li>The only feelings that were felt were those of wonderment and curiosity along with the gentility of the age old sands.</li>
<li>The only tastes that were examined by taste buds were the salty composition of the air and the remnants of the exquisite lobster I had captured and consumed for dinner.</li>
</ul>The simplicity inside the complexity of this epic night I spent alone on the beach is one that I encourage all to partake in if given the opportunity. If said coarse of action is passed up, one may be considered to be <i>pseudoclassy.</i><br />

Everest or simply absorbing the rich hues of the exotic plant life in your courtyard, there is no wrong place for the pastime that is croquet. Croquet, contrary to many a shallow perception, is not merely a glorified version of putt putt. Rather, croquet celebrates mankind's primitive nomadic lifesty<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">le with its portable nature while requiring grace, relaxation, and precision from its partakers. To effectively participate in a m</span>atch, you must be in a party of two to six. Simply ask your classy friends if they would fancy a dual in the art of laid back competition. While nearly any outdoor scenario is fitting for croquet, some situations add the ingredients of <i>class</i> and <i>finesse</i> to the match for maximum enjoyment. Consider these suggestions to formulate a perfectly classy match:</div><ul><li>When setting the coarse, don't be timid about integrating a wicket<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (that thing you wrongly call a hoop or gate) </span>near <span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">water </span>hazards or quick sand. These are all in good taste of the game.</li>
<ul><li>With this in mind, never over complicate the coarse. Hedge mazes are frowned upon. </li>
</ul></ul><ul><li><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;">Do not try to turn this into an amphibious game, even if you devise a way to float the wickets, no one likes treading in water while waiting for their turn</span></span></span> </li>
</ul><ul><li>Grass similar to that of the Augusta National Golf Coarse is a nicety.</li>
<li>Do not let pressing matters interfere with your match. The phone call from Ralph Lauren himself can wait.</li>
<li>Make an effort to see through that fellow players are supplied with snacks and refreshments. Cocktail swords through sandwiches and cocktail umbrellas to keep beverages cool on a hot summer's day are recommended.</li>
<li>Although competitive, croquet requires good sportsmanship as well as sociable qualities. Compliment your adversaries with these when they are deserved:</li>
<ul><li>"Well done" </li>
<li> "Marvelous hit, i must say"</li>
<li>"You've reached impeccable form this afternoon"</li>
