Is everyone in the South obese?

Been to Dunkin Donuts in Mass and ME. The South pretty much has a corner on fat people.

 

I've long dreaded the day cargo shorts become socially unacceptable. ... I may persist a while longer. They're made for journalists, IMO.

 

Well, press boxes aren't pedestrian friendly and they serve really fattening foods.

 

Grown men shouldn't wear shorts except for sports or leisure activities.

 

Ridiculous.

 

I might be the last soldier to die on the cargo shorts hill because I despise chino shorts because they look like cutoff dress pants, gym and running shorts are for running or the gym and not general wear and don’t even begin with the abomination that are cutoff jeans.

Granted, I’ve never actually used all those pockets and, if I did, I probably wouldn’t be able to walk, but I have worn cargo shorts for 30 years, going back to hiking and backpacking days. When I put “trendier” shorts I feel like a golf course pretender.

 

If it's above 70 and I'm not at work, I'm wearing shorts.*

* - exceptions of course for dinners at higher-end restaurants, weddings, funerals, etc.

 

Shorts = eating hot dogs with ketchup. Only children do it.

 

For some of us, that's any time other than weddings* and funerals.

* - Though I think I've worn shorts to a beach wedding a time or two.

 

So if you're going to a baseball game in the summer, you're wearing pants?

 

And definitely no men in shorts at the airport, right?

 

I wear shorts whenever I’m not at work. No matter what the weather outside. You can pry them from my cold, dead hands.

I have marvelous calves, and very much enjoy showing them off.
