only one complaint after three days of school (someone page KG)

[ulysses]

Someone please tell me that the "wearing the pants below the bottom rung of the ass" clothing style will eventually go away. Please.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

1. They are still doing that? n/t

[ulysses]

3. oh lord yes.

Getting lower.

[CatWoman]

2. Kriss Kross started that crap, didn't they

:hi:

[ulysses]

4. I know they did the backwards thing.

No idea whether or not they started the "Hey! Everybody wants to see my ass!" style.

[CatWoman]

6. I can't stand that shit either

another pet peeve of mine.

Along with names like Shakqeesha :D

[ulysses]

13. ROFL

We'll talk about names some time. It's certainly been an education. :D

[GOPisEvil]

5. Are they still wearing them 18 sizes too big, too?

:hi:

[ulysses]

9. it has to be 20 now.

Why in the hell would you wear clothes that necessitate that you change the way you walk?

:hi:

[KG]

7. heh

this doesn't count as a job whine. :)

[ulysses]

11. ok, good.

:D

[CatWoman]

12. Kirk!!!

:hi:

16. sistah!

8. Designer UNDERWEAR -- that's the worst part

Wheen kids have to go to the fucking mall to pay ten or fifteen bucks for a single pair of Tommy Hilfigger Underoos, so that when they sag their pants so low that people can see their underwear, they're still in style.

[ulysses]

15. see, here

the style is evidently to wear a t-shirt that's two yards long and barely tuck it in, so that the undies don't show but things are neatly "outlined". :eyes:

10. Asked my nephews,

when they were stupid enough to do this around the rest of the family, if they were planning on being plumbers when they grew up.

Uh, no offense to those in the plumbing industry...but I have seen my share of butt-cracks.

[KG]

14. how do fools expect to be taken seriously when they dress like a clown.

that would be my take on that style.

[LWolf]

17. I'm sure it will.

But I've been waiting a really long time, now. Much longer than I expected it to last, anyway. Enjoy. Especially if your school dress code prohibits excessive sags; then they'll bring a belt and loop it on the first notch, leaving their shirts hanging out over so they can grab it and tighten it when they see an adult paying attention.

Last year one of my boys was running laps, getting ready for the spring physical fitness test, and his pants ended up around his ankles. His modesty wasn't compromised too much, since his long shirt covered most of the underwear; he just yanked them back up and kept going, one hand on his belt loops.

[ulysses]

18. our kids don't normally even bother

until we browbeat them into pulling them up - and yeah, it's a dress code thing, so I have to do it.

I taught a kid six or seven years ago who wore his pants like this. Good athlete, but it always cracked me up to watch him try to shoot on the basketball court one-handed.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

19. I wonder if years from now...

they will look back on that fashion disaster and laugh at themselves or burn all the evidence.

[ulysses]

20. probably, but after that

we'll get the "revival".

[name not needed]

21. But it's much easier to poop on the hood of the principal's car that way!

I haven't, but I can't say I haven't been tempted. :P

[ulysses]

22. not with your shirttail

or your designer boxers in the way!

[LWolf]

23. It's the designer boxers that just

push me over the edge. I sometimes have a hard time keeping a straight, serious, professional "face" and demeanor when faced with the designer boxers.
