Why do grown men walk around in flip flops, shorts, t-shirts, keds, bizarre facial hair, piercings, tattooes, and fat guts?

Like Mark Steyn said, Adults today look just like they did in 1950, only fatter and dressed exactly like children.

On a lighter note, it IS finally football season. Channelling John Facenda, “It was a day of punishment in a league of pain...”

At least until that peter-puffin’ little scumbag Roger Goodell came along and started postponing games because of SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve seen my little girl’s SOCCER league play in the snow!!!!!!

I shouldn’t wear shorts or t-shirts?

Well, living in Florida, I do wear cargo shorts, polo shirt and sandals for daily wear. But, I do wear long pants for Sunday church.

Only time I wear shoes is to play golf, go dancing with my wife or attend funerals/weddings.

I can't stand facial hair, on myself, nearly trimmed on others Is OK.

Started developing a furniture problem, my chest was falling into my drawers. So, rather than trying to explain that when one has a good tool, one builds a shed over it, I returned to my military PT regimen and took care of that problem.

No piercings. No tattoos. No jerseys. No jeans.

And whenever I wear a cap, I always remove it when I enter a building or I am in the presence of a lady. I must admit, some of the ladies are quite pleasantly taken aback when I tip my cap to them while riding on bike trails.

Ergo, I do not fit the norm you mention.

Guess I am just a fossil.

I can’t figure that out either. For the record, I wear sandals here and there, shirts with collars 95% of the time, no keds, groomed normal hairstyle, cleanshaven, NO TATS, and am a tad overweight, not obese.

The last time I can really remember wearing a jersey of any kind was around 11 or 12.
