OT: 108th Obsequious Banter Thread: Nine dozen eggs and not one broken

[Lord Defect]

They're just khakis made a little dressier. They also have flat fronts so you don't have giant pleats like you're running for the State Senate seat your family has held in North Carolina since 1838.

Pass

No. Shorts are year round. I will die on this (snowy) hill.

 

[Lord Defect]

Call them tactical yoga shorts and 95% of the people who wouldn't wear them because of the name now will. Marketing is weird.

Is that the same thing as ranger panties or pt shorts?

 

[Cody Webster]

Yoga Shorts?? That's where I draw the line.

Im not talking about ball tight ones, but my wife got me a pair of lulu shorts...my god they are wonderful.

 

[Cody Webster]

@Starat327 was it you that went to the Eric Church concert last time he came to town? I think it was but can't quite remember

Now you're f***ing getting it. Liner or linerless?

What in tarnation is going on here?

 

[Starat327]

No one wants to see your bulbous knees sticking out of your shorts looking like a couple of hairy chickens waiting to be roasted.

That's fantastic. *I* don't want sweaty nuts. If that means the rest of the world suffers through my pale, hairy legs, so be it.

Shorts all year round in the house. In the winter, a crew neck sweatshirt and shorts.

For cold weather outside I have sweats. Gotta be soft on the inside

Comfort

linerless.

I got a pair of joggers from Allbirds the other day, those things slap as well

Comfort always

Thought so. Don't know if you're a big fan or not, but he's been posting cryptic messages the past couple of days with an announcement tomorrow morning. Some are thinking it's a permanent radio station on XM, some are thinking it's a tour. They've been little 15 secondish videos with songs from other artists then one of his songs at the end. Hoping he goes to Red Rocks, would love to see him play there.

You gotta try the liners out.

Im not sure i like how aligned weve been over the last few days.

Interesting. I had to pass on a few shows i really wanted to go to because of the new baby and space thing, which sucked but was the right call. Id be up for seeing him tour again though, for sure. Ill avoid the tailgate, but his live music is so good.

They're between PT shorts and basketball shorts.

Right, probably a few years sooner than if you had just warmed up a bit.

The alcohol keeps him warm enough.

I run pretty hot, so shorts in the winter dont bother me nearlty as much as they do others. If youre looking for a good example -- Today is my first day back (home office) to work from paternity. Im in my office, window open behind me, shorts and a polo on (for video calls).

I can't recall anything beyond this morning. Do we not get along?

Just when you try parking your RV in front of my house.

I haven't done that since...yesterday, maybe?

 

[Kermit the Prog]

I'm just waiting for someone to mention the benefits of "breathable cotton panels," at which point I'll jackknife my way out of this conversation.

Home ≠ out

If you wear work clothes for work from home, you've killed to find out how it felt.

So, this may skew my viewpoint because for the last 30 days ive basicallyt lived inside, so its all about comfort.

that said, im not against shorts and a hoody outside, either. Not John Fetterman "i just rolled out of bed" look, but i dont feel the need to put on jeans just because im running to the store, either. Theres definitely a balance to this, but shorts are an acceptable take in the winter as well.

 

[Striiker]

You can see who in this thread doesn't have the legs to pull off the "shorts all year round" look.

They pretend it's because of warmth, but really it's shame.

I used to have a staunch no sweatpants in public rule. I would always switch over to jeans/pants if I had to run out somewhere. Then covid hit, then the second kid came, then I started working from home full time. I will now wear respectable looking sweatpants outside the house, because I have been worn down to a fine powder at this point and don't give a shit what anyone thinks anymore.
