I'll bet there's a 97 character "word" that they use to describe it, though.fluff said:

What? nonsense, I wear them every day to work and I look cool!MudGrrl said:

I am just about 6 ft tall....
so when I was hitting my growth spurt in middle school, I was basically always wearing capris whether I liked it or not.
When I see capris, I think they are silly.

What are the little strings for on the cuffs? That's what I want to know.
Cinch the cuffs to keep the water out when it gets *really* high.jdschall said:
Those are shpants or phorts...not quite shorts, not quite pants.
Not as bad as lycra.
Come on - you baggy shorts guys have *got* to be kidding. Those are just slightly longer shorts than your damn baggies.Ciaran said:

There was a dude (in his late 30s) in a meeting a couple days ago sporting the deck shoes with no socks.narlus said:

You should come visit me in Annapolis. I don't think there is a pair of socks in the whole town besides the ones in my chest of drawers.
I do that.SkaredShtles said:There was a dude (in his late 30s) in a meeting a couple days ago sporting the deck shoes with no socks.
Dude. I would. Except that I hope to die never having gone to Annapolis. Or any other place in Maryland. :dancing:jdschall said:
And you don't wear lycra? I don't buy it.BurlyShirley said:
SkaredShtles said:
Can't say that I blame you.
No. I wear lycra. But its pretty horrible.SkaredShtles said:And you don't wear lycra? I don't buy it.
Deck shoes? I mean, I have some canvas vans that slip on. Those are deck shoes, no?
They arent the same ones loco has, btw.
Apparently deck shoes come in various shapes & styles. These are the ones I'm talking about. Vintage 80's:BurlyShirley said:
My uncle (in his 60s) wears them without socks, but he sails the Atlantic, Carribean, and Mediterranean in them.
Ok. no. Im thinking of canvas ones.
Yeah those are them.SkaredShtles said:
You forgot to mention that after approximately 1.5 days of wearing them without socks they smell like regurgitated blue cheese.
Horrible......... in a fashion sense? Or comfort?BurlyShirley said:
In a fashion sense of course. I love it for long XC rides. I usually wear baggies, but if its hot out and Im doing some bigger mileage, Ill wear lycra for sure.SkaredShtles said:
I had to suffer through a marketing class earlier this week. At one point we were talking about the "value" some consumers see in brands and how much more money could be brought for what is really a generic product. All the marketing scum got a good laugh at how people could be ripped off because of a logo that is put on something. I got a big laugh at how all of the douches laughing were wearing $70 Polo brand shirts.narlus said:
haha, nice.
BS is a Fashionista. Who would've thought?BurlyShirley said:
They probably think $70 is a screamin' deal for a shirt.Westy said:

"The larvae themselves appear as transparent, white worms, about 8 mm (1/3 inch) long. When disturbed, the larvae can jump for distances up to 15 cm (6 inches), prompting recommendations of eye protection for those eating the cheese"SkaredShtles said:
Ye - gads! If they hit you in the eye do the burrow in?
And I thought this was bad:
Queso Cabrales
It tastes alright if you can get past the distinct aroma of dog sh&*! Worst food in Spain IMO.
I was studying in the library a couple weeks ago and this kid walks in wearing blue and white seersucker shorts, deck shoes with no socks, a pink polo shirt, and a blue blazer. There was much snickerage around. One of the few times I wish I had a camera phone.SkaredShtles said:There was a dude (in his late 30s) in a meeting a couple days ago sporting the deck shoes with no socks.
Sounds like Danny Noonan at the yacht club all decked out in his sailing regalia.Barbaton said:
