Yeah, well, when you actually LIVE in the “NYC weather mindset” you wear a hoodie when you’re fishing, working in the yard, walking the dog or whatever else it is you feeling like doing.
One of mine has “Holloman AFB” on it and pics of an F22, a 117 and a couple others.
That’s one seriously dangerous ‘gang’ ;)
It used to be in the wannabee gang world that Timberline boots and a fur collar winter jacket (the ‘arctic’ kind that zip up like Kenny on South Park) were the standard uniform. They wore them in the dead of summer to ‘look cool’.
I remember saving up for a pair of Timberlines...as they were steel toe, insulated and GREAT (and expensive) work boots. Today they are just wannabee gangbanger passee fashion.
Yes, fully formed reformed! Um, she got better.
:o)
I am 20 years older than you and I am a white woman. I have several hooded sweatshirts and jackets with hoods. They never were a racial thing until now. I only put the hood up when it is raining, they are very practical garments.
God bless the man.
Well Done Frank...very well done.....*thumbs up!*
Unfortunately, no. We mock our son with graphic vocabulary and pointing-and-laughing, but he is impervious. His friends ask him for fashion advice.
AMEN for one of my generations greatest minds.
I saw a kid wearing "pants" like that, last week. And I thought he was just poor./s>
The pants were little more than shorts, half way down his cheeks and just above his ankles.
I just thought he couldn't afford a full pair of pants, and bought a pair of shorts, and decided to split the difference. :)
I heard it was raining and in the high 50’s to low 60’s.
Could be why, but then who knows?
I refuse to wear any clothing with a baby-name. I don’t wear sockies or a dressie or a blousie or a scarfie ...
I have two zip-up sweatshirts with hoods - one is hot-pink velour (used to have matching pants, but they wore out) and the other is gray and says “Coast Guard Mom.” I don’t like pull-over outerwear, because it messes up my hair and pulls my earrings when going on or off. I also don’t like hoods, because when you turn your head to look behind you before backing up, all you can see is the inside of the hood. If my head is cold, I tie a scarf over my head and around my neck.
That was awesome. I am falling about laughing.
Duke was just down the street from me at UNC when the Lacrosse thing took place and I was thinking what a low quality school Dook is and how those professors should have read the same book I read and they could have avoided that mess.
And here we are once again with a similar, but ramped up plot line and a few of the same characters from the Dook Lacrosse thing. Seems like old times.
It's too late for them to read the book, but it's not too late to start creatively prosecuting those who stir up racial tensions for their own gain, before we get to an actual lynching or skip the lynching and go straight to LA race riots redux.
In 2012, obama put away his Hope and Change campaign slogan. This election it's "Recreate '68!"
The Ox Bow Incident is good parallel to what has happened too often over the years. The Duke fiasco was shameful and it’s fortunate no physical harm came to any of the accused but untold harm was done to their reputations and their families while to this day the Duke 88 haven’t so much as said they are sorry, what a pathetic group of professors.
Race baiters like Sharpton and Jackson are nothing more than criminals and should be locked up. I was involved in some of the ‘65 Watts riots and it wasn’t pretty. Riots across the country and later on were probably just as bad but instead of those two turkeys working to improve race relations they inflame and just make things worse.
This current thing is pathetic. The initial investigation has basically found no criminal behavior by Zimmerman, I’m not trying to blow off the death of Martin, it’s a tragedy. The way the two race hustlers along with a few helpers are pouring gas on the flames there could very well be much blood spilled as well as untold dollars in property damage.
They both refer to themselves as reverands. Pathetic!
