It's Fall Out, Boys

It's been a good summer with friends and family.

Even though I couldn't drive, I've had the support of a few very specia

I'm here for a different kind of argument. Just say no to cargo shorts. It seems "stylish" cargo pants are making a comeback but not for utilitarian reasons.

No man looks presentable in cargo shorts. No one. If you need to carry a bunch of stuff, use a bag of some sort or a small backpack. But never cargo shorts.

Will give you a pass on cargo pants.

I've had a really bad day in a really bad month. Unrelated to that I stopped posting in the politics forum because it just makes me angry, as does turning on the news and this was the only place that was politics free but it isn't apparently. And I absolutely believe there are 70 million stupid bad people in this country and we have the leader to prove it. Anyway, I'm outta here until we decide to get back to movies and such again.

It won't last long. But sometimes it's good to let off a little steam. I don't expect full blown arguments. Unless it's about cargo shorts, then it's gloves off.

I actually tried the "fanny pack" but it seems douchier than cargo pants/shorts. It is also not as comfortable. I blame it all on cellphones. If I didn't need to carry one my life would be better.

Fanny pack worse than cargo shorts. Well, maybe not. I have a smallish cell phone that fits in my back pocket. I don't like the bigger ones, and I don't use a case. Makes life easier.

I was a very late cellphone adopter and then I used a flip phone for the longest time. Smart phones are just too damn big for the most part.

I didn't get a smartphone until about ten years ago when I became the department chair. We had over fifty faculty members, and it was easier to text them than call. Besides, I didn't have to write down phone numbers.

I know exactly one cell phone number besides my own. My daughter's and only because my wife had the number before my daughter.

Years ago, a woman I went to grad school with asked me for my phone number. I didn't know it. I lived alone and never had the occasion to call myself.

Anyone who is against cargo shorts is an idiot, an awful person, and should move back to where they came from. There, I said it. You're welcome everybody.

I kinda agree? I have worn cargo shorts on and off for years because I am an avid hiker and they make more sense when I take one of my National Park trips. I am new however to cargo pants. They seem sorta wrong to me but the cargo pocket for a cellphone has me sold. Only time I ever wore them before was for flights to Vegas because I bring 2 wallets and need the secure room for that.

I don't think I've given out an infraction in years.

I don't think I've ever gotten one. Maybe we should address both those issues.

...I was considering drinking alone.

The woman who is not my girlfriend told me just to eat ice cream instead. Can you do both?

I think grasshoppers have ice cream? Too lazy to look.

I am 4 beers and a G 'n T deep right now. There is a very good chance I polish off a pint of Talenti Salted Caramel Layered before the night is done.

Yes. Start with Kahlua, then move on to Cognac. The real pros do Armenac and Calvados.

Re: drinking with ice cream ��

chocolate and burbon (not barbour) pair well together
edit: and i suggest not calling it a fanny pack in the uk, or own it if you do

Thanks for this. I didn't have the courage.


i do declare this will be my one and only political post bank rupture

i am for advancing the collective intelligence of the human race and being a good steward of the planet in the state which it currently inhabits.

offering, not suppressing, opportunity for education to nurture any brain just seems like a smart thing to do
whoring out lands of natural resources to global companies quite the opposite

i am pro labor and against slavery in all of its nuanced existences, including a federal minimum wage used by 20 states that hasn't been increased in 15 years since Obama forced it.

i am for affordable health care.
almost every other developed country on the planet offers to heal its citizens in a time of need with minimal charge, not the us

i am for anybody having the ability to make a decision which they deem to be in their own best interest as long as no one else is harmed

i am for not treating those with ten digit bank accounts as kings
billions don't happen as a result of compassion and why should the rest of us care if their net worth drops into the high hundred millions
fair proportionate share for all

I'm still against them. And then have moved back to where I come from four years ago.

You're making me consider running out for some Talenti and whipping up a couple peanut butter martinis.

There's a very good chance I won't.

Yup.

I don't get it

I will always be grateful to Biden for being the first American President in 20 years to have the balls to get us out of Afghanistan.

He did it so poorly though. Never shoulda been there in the first place. Makes it even more suspect that the dems would embrace a douchebag like Cheney just because he hated Trump. I'd rather hate Cheney who was the architech of that whole debacle.

Just a joke. Red has the right idea. It's not too much to ask for.

I seem to have lost the war against cargo shorts.

i think of cargo as the short with bulky patches sewn on
other apparrel incorporates similar storage per yard of fabric housed in a much more tailored and desecrete manor

Explain? The cargo pockets are awesome. What doesn't have the cargo pocket that is as comfortable for storing an oversized smartphone?

Not gonna lie. I did do that pint of Talenti. Stopped drinking though. It's for the best 😀 Still rather buzzed though, hence the frequency of my posting!
