tis the season

Nevyn

With the summer being here as it is May and the tempatures startng to rise
I found myself pondering where to the brothers stand on or in their shorts ?

Are they for lesser men not used to sweating in the sun ?

Or is there there a standard to which a brother may wear shorts but woe betide
the man who wears white hipster metrosexual shorts.

So lads which of ye sports the exposes calf's look at this time of year and which of ye dare to bare above the knee ?

Tom Dunne

*shudder*

You have just made me remember it's that time of year my father with whip out the shorts and white socks. No amount of abuse will dissuade him from this abomination.

As for me, Bermuda shorts are the only acceptable form of shorts, and only in the privacy of the back garden.

Fajitas!

Note white pastey legs.

Pastey and hairy legs are de rigueur for the Brethren.

I like those combat shorts for lads. something sexy bout them.

Although I did something rather disturbing yesterday. I was stopped on caple st at the lights and there was a few guys standing at the lights, one was wearing nice combat shorts, not a bad looking chap either so I was taking alot of notice then I was looking at everything. The dude was wearing a polo shirt with a V neck jumper. not tooooo bad, I could handle that view, then I noticed the feet. Dubes. feckin Dubes I tells ya!!! well the lights couldnt have gone red quick enough.

Long baggy shorts are best

Will

I also agree on the long baggie shorts, comfort and look bad ass.

trout

I go for the long & baggy shorts too ... mind you, they don't actually look long & baggy on me ... but that's part of the charm.

I have very hairy legs, with several odd lumps, scars and stitches - so naturally I whip on the shorts at every opportunity. I like the ones you get with loads of pockets, for keys, wallets, phones, tissues, water bottles, dog treats, first-aid kits ... the essentials.

I draw the line at sandals though. My toes are not fit to see the light of day

Will

Cargo shorts I hear the wimmins call em - the ones with lots of pockets

Wibbs

Over a certain age and over a certain shall we say build, shorts just look wrong. Wrong I tells ya. When you see a guy of 35, of a stocky mein and a bad haircut walking a small dog that you just know he didn't choose, you feel bad for him and your gender in general.....:D

On holidays in more clement climes of course all bets are off. Me, I very very rarely go native though. I will suffer in stoical silence goddammmit!!!

trout

Are thongs considered shorts ? A very brief, and specialised form of shorts perhaps ?
What about long thongs ? Sequin covered banana hammocks ? Budgie Smugglers ?

Or those over-the-shoulder ones that Borat wears.

Cos I wouldn't know anything about that sort of thing *ahem*

"...men not used to sweating in the sun" - well that's pretty much all of us in this country.

I'll wear shorts because they're comfrotable. Have horrible legs, scarred, spotty and evertything, but my comfort's more important than your standards of decency.

ChewChew

this is a super sexy thread for chew. she is thoroughly enjoying the mental images, and delighted to finally have an excuse to use the following. . . .

I am in work so no shorts today for me.

I think there's a pic of me in KYN wearing a pair of very very short short shorts. In my defence it was in the mid 30s at the time

arybvtcw0eolkf

Just to prove Mairt know's not to wear white socks with his shorts..



As for sweating... There's a few of the wimmins around here could make Mairt sweat!..

justsomebloke

I have no problem wearing shorts and in fact have a collection of boardies from when I was oz. However I am startign to come to the conclusion that the rest of humanity might have a problem with me wearing them. However once I am happy screw the rest of ye

On the contrary, if you've got it, flaunt it.:cool:

No use hiding it all behind a tent masquerading as shorts.

Combat/Cargo shorts FTW! And tomorrow is supposed to be warmer than today. :eek: If it's at all like today I'll probably be wearing shorts - socks or possibly ankle socks a.k.a gay socks into work. :pac:

Zaph

Currently wearing short as I've just been hacking my way through the undergrowth that was my garden. They have to be longish, but with all the scars from my ops on my knees I'm toying with the idea of a slightly shorter pair to test the "chicks dig scars" theory. Obviously this would expose a greater area of snow white hairy flesh, which would probably negate any benefit gained should the scar theory actually work.

trout

I was just discussing this thread with mrs trout ... and I mentioned your post about snow white hairy flesh, scars and short shorts ... mrs trout asked me who posted that ... and I told her. She declared, and I kid you not, "Zaph, yore so hot right now".

Take from that what you will :cool:

Zaph

Mrs. trout is clearly an excellent judge of hairy white flesh.

DJ_Spider

I have a knife scar on my upper thigh so shorts make me feel a little self concious. I usually wear jeans so it doesn't show. I don't wear boxers as I always feel like I have too much on underneath. I wear briefs as it feel more comfortable and it shows the man vegetables better!

Mrs Spider likes what I wear, but prefers it when I don't at all So as she is the only one I have to keep happy I will not be wearing shorts this summer. (BTW I presume this IS the summer and it will be autumn tomorrow?!)

If it's scars they look for the here is the ultimate scar.:cool:

I am suspending the "pics or it didn't happen" rule in this instance, on the grounds of decency, good taste and common sense.

Mind you ... I also have scarred genitalia. smashey's story is better though

you see, that right there is super sexy. RARRRRR.

I just love scars. They are so unique and add extra character. I have 3 scars that are visible and cannot be covered. I hated them, but now love them cause they are part of me.

but boy in shorts sporting sexy scars. well come here to me now!!

Note: 05/05/2008 - Ensure that the long trousers are worn on the June 20th Beers of the Night of a Thousand Corsets.
The hawt cargo shorts are not repeat NOT to be worn that day for fear of a multiple scars, pasty white flesh hairy legged ... incident.

0wn3d! Actually I was in the army and got it in combat! (you wouldn't think I was a jarhead to see me now, the six pack has turned into a barrel!)

Don1

Baggies/boardies/cargo/combat shorts only thanks. Wear mine only in proper warm weather (today barely qualified, I was just trying to embrace the only bit of summer I'll get this year) and when I'm biking. Even in mid winter in rain and muck you can't not be wearing shorts when peggin it down the side of a mountain in anything other than shorts.

On the scars thing: the bulk of mine are on my face (3) and hands (7, mostly small)

Combat shorts are always good! they also come under the category of "baggy" and "comfortable" so its a win win!

As for Dubes, burn the fcukin lot of them...

(not that they're bad shoes, just what they stand for loike!)
