You can sort of see what Joe Biden is trying to do here, suggesting that the question he was just asked is equivalent to "when did you stop beating your wife?" But the execution, and the reference to (someone?) being a cocaine junkie, is more than a little bizarre. Biden is also within his rights to mock Trump's continual bragging that he "aced" a cognitive test designed to detect dementia, but none of this quite works.

This is it, man, our fresh-faced aficionado thinks to himself. I finally cracked it! The very first time Avidan Grossman experienced The Moment directly involved a pair of Vans OG Old Skool LXs, the only shoes he's ever worn for a full year straight and still one of the best damn sneakers on the market today. If you're looking to figure out how the hell you want to dress now—and going forward—you could do far worse than the canonical style the Van Doren brothers introduced to the West Coast skating scene in the late '70s.

Primary among them: the dreaded dress code. If you've ever spent the better part of an afternoon puzzling over a meaningless mishmash of terms and trying to sus out what in the hell everyone else will be wearing to Brandy and Glenn's Western-themed wedding, you're not alone.
