    Well, I know what I'm wearing in Baltimore then.
     

  2. If you wear that to Baltimore, then fuck it. I'm not going. I am not showing up with you wearing clothes like that. Now, if you want to look cool, wear leather pants like Joe did in Seattle. That was fucking awesome.

    GB, you can wear a dog-flesh toga and I won't care as long as you do more rap lyrics.
     
  5. Rap lyrics, absolutely. Togas, absolutely not. I may be scarred for life.

    I think the jacket defeats the purpose of the shorts.
    You wear shorts when it is hotter, so adding a jacket doesn't make much sense.
    When the weather got cooler, I could see, and have done, a sweatshirt with shorts, or a sweater with shorts, but a jacket and tie with shorts, is just silly.

    I wouldn't be caught dead with this "ensemble."

    And does that dark shoes thing carry over to black sneakers? I haven't owned white sneakers of any sort since Clinton was in office. I don't think white shoes/sneakers will do anything for my legs. :)

    I love wearing a thermal shirt with a T-shirt over it, no matter what's guarding my gear. It's a matter of comfort for me.

    GQ did a much better job describing the trend in a past issue, about a month or two ago.

    I'm sure you could have taken a date if you'd dressed better.

    Really I only say that because my senior prom date was 6'5 (a full foot taller than me) and wore tails. With his hair line and the way he kept his facial hair, he had this vampire look to him. I'm not sure what's worse...the vampire look or the formally dressed beach bum.
