Title: What's the deal on shin length "shorts"
Post by: Howard on May 19, 2016, 07:22:38 AM
In recent years , I've seen younger dudes wearing "high water" pants.
They call 'em SHORTS, but they look like shin length pants. WTF?

I thought SHORTS were above the knee and pants were ankle length.

Sometimes it's damn cold outside for running and instead of wearing pants that weigh one down, it's better to wear leggings with shorts over them. I also wear my UA leggings in the gym for lower body workouts in the winter to keep my knees warm.

Ah, denim.  The working man's fabric.  Binds like a chinese ho's footwear, triples in weight and becomes it's own refrigerator with 3 drops of rain, touches the ground once and never has clean knees again.  If you can do the job in denim, you're hired!

Damn! Don't even dare say this to me.  I wear shorts all spring, summer and fall. In fact, I wear shorts anytime the temperature goes above 60 degrees. It is a requirement if you live in the Portland metro area. It's best if you wear them with Birks or flip flops. In the winter we Oregonians wear Birks with socks to keep our feet warm.

Did you know that many wineries are using screw tops because it preserves the flavor of the wine better?

I've wondered if the metered oxygenation that cork affords is needed for the development of some wines, even if it means a finite shelf life.  Idk, I'm not much of a conwahsewer.  Mid range stuff is good enough for me.

Heard that the most expensive bottles ever had a 100% seal tho.  Wax over cork.  Discovered by Jack Cousteau in a sunken Greek trading ship.

I am no wine connoisseur. I like wine, but you won't catch me paying hundreds of dollars for a bottle of it. Don't you just love the way wines are described in such flowery language? Seems like a joke. Did Jacques keep the wine for his collection of underwater fine wines?  :)

On some level: Guys are getting more into clothes than women.

I'm always cold and won't workout without a hoodie. Wanting to make sure there was always a clean one around meant having a few. Next thing I knew... they were out of control, LOL!

I wasn't blessed with palate that will distinguish hints of tones of shadows and such, which lets me enjoy $20-$40 bottles just fine.  Far as I'm concerned, some booze is better then no booze at all, so I don't get too princess & the pea in these matters.

As I heard the story, Cousteau found 3.  Opened one and found it was contaminated.  Opened another and drank it with the crew.  The third went up for sale and, at 2400 years old or something, was the most expensive wine ever sold.  Sits in some Getbigger's cellar, no doubt.

Balloon pants? Any gym rat that wears those gay tights and shorts should have them wrapped around their necks.


Actually , why am I even asking getbig homos this? They are cold while training, have matching colored water bottles that go with their fingerless gloves and hate old school jogging pants because it doesn't cup their balls.

during spring break, they were plentiful.  I didn't mind.  Asses shake and bounce in new ways, with a bit of cheek peeking out in an unexpected manner.  Ya never knew if you were about to see cheek, belly, a little muff...  throw in alcohol, bad dancing, and "I'm here to be reckless and break out!" always helps too.   I have a weekly gig in the middle of the beach, huge college tourist spot.
