WHAT is with all the middle-aged guys dressing like they’re in their teens? …WTF??? Baggy shorts, wife-beaters, ballcaps, really? Grow up, already. Get a job, get some perspective and get over the fact that you’re not 20 (0r even 30) anymore. —Mytchel35

the flat brimmed hat is the modern day equivalent of the dunce cap.
Oh leave them alone. After the zombie apocalypse comes, those will be the ones that will give extra satisfaction when you crack their brain pan.
*Note to self: Wait until government confirms zombie apocalypse before taking the Lobo to the empty skulls of wiggers.
I pull off the flat brimmed 5 panel hat with ease and I am 35. I certainly do not look like a thug. Why do you care?
Blah blah blah, check your privilege OB, blah blah blah, what gives you the right to comment on the way they dress? blah blah blah, they are not your personal property, you don’t own them blah blah blah…stop thug shaming.
Thugs? Why are we elevating them to the level of thug?
Hear hear! Dey WISH they wuz thugs, but their hipster beards and mantyhose give them away. Flat brims? Only real thugs with biceps n sexy jail tats can pull those off. Otherwise clean up and put on a suit, ya greasy bastid. SHAME on you!
Anybody who thinks they are a ‘thug’ or has the inside scoop on how to properly ‘live da thug lyfe’ is trash and should be removed from society.
Is it bad that I have a pair of Vans? I’m just trying to let my inner Spicoli out.
Wrytten by someone who spells Mitchel wyth a ‘y’–OP, Grow the FUCK up! lolol
Jeez, good thing I still have my Zoot Suits…
Justify my thug
But Chico, can you make thug on a real train?
WHAT IS MATURITY?
“What is it with middle-aged guys, dressing like they’re in their teens?” mytchel35
“maturity, n. complete in natural development; with fully developed powers of body and mind.” The Concise Oxford Dictionary.
Is there a necessary relationship between matters of dress and possessing fully developed powers of body and mind? Or is there an obvious disjunction between the two?
This is a profound philosophical question, turning as it does on how one is to conceive those fully developed powers of body and mind. The question of the fully developed powers of body are not themselves contentious. One supposes that they refer to the powers associated with successful copulation.
On the other hand, the nature of the fully developed powers of the mind and its relationship to dressing like a teen is a vexed question. Of what, if anything, can the relationship possibly consist? Clearly, I possess fully developed powers of the mind but does it mean that I will have to stop dressing like a teen? Write back soon.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Nobody pulls off a flat brimmed hat. Nobody.
I bet you love The Eagles, Bastard Fish.
That’s just mean Chico..*shakes head*
I hate it when old men dress like old men. Like seriously, do they eat cheese sandwiches on park benches too?
I usually am fairly oblivious to fashion having been a cubicle slave and rarely allowed to exit the building for many years,
However, I nominate as the stupidest fashion trend ever: white guys with their pants hanging down over their asses to show their undies. Just not kool, knowmsayin?
Not far behind is the backward baseball hat. Sooooooo laaaaame! Sooooo yesterday!
….and then there are the gals in really big sunglasses, what’s with that?
*Seinfeld Voice*
Who ARE these people who ride bicycles?
Go fuck yourself. I’ll continue to wear my flat brim when I am off work, and go to my lucrative employment as necessary. Cheerio.
Nukka: “I hate it when old men dress like old men. Like seriously, do they eat cheese sandwiches on park benches too?”
Nukka, one day you too will find yourself sitting on a park bench, savouring your easy-to-chew cheese sandwich, and wondering if it’s time to replace the windbreaker you have been wearing for the past twenty years. “No”, you will conclude, “What do I need a fancy new jacket for. Who am I trying to impress? Everything’s made so cheap now. I might only get ten years out of it. Not worth the money.”
……now back to my cludgery….twenty more years until cheese sandwich on bench time…can’t wait…
Fuck that, cheese sandwiches are awesome and sitting on benches is not without it’s charms as well
The Eagles? Not really. I think your hats on too tight.
zzzzzzzing!
Worse are men who manipulate,stop at nothing to get who they think they want, only to hurt the person by throwing them away like trash.
Worse are women who SAY they had a good time with you at the Clay Cafe, but then won’t text you back and then you find out from Sarah that she’s fucking Chad! Chad…every damn time..
^^ Oh lordy, thats my first name.
Good job Nukka, now everyone knows your real name is Sarah.
