My personal fashion consultant/arbiter of what I get to wear/wife has issued a blanket ban on cargo shorts for me.

No where near as bad as Jams

The worst short-lived trend that I actively participated in is hands-down the v-neck cardigan with the white turtleneck. 8th grade/1993ish.

There are 10 million things worse than carpenter pants and, and this is still unbelievably breaking news to me, cargo shorts.

My girlfriend bought the two pair of cargo shorts that I wear.

Anything sold at Chess King should make this list. Z. Cavaricci's, IOU sweatshirts, etc.

I had my high school senior pictures taken wearing one of these. I was just regretting it the other day.

Didn't Mr. Z and Bronto have a funny disagreement a couple/few years ago about pulled up white tube socks vs. colored low-rise ones?

Yeah because he's a middle aged dad, so it's not too hard to figure out what side he was on

Outside of physical activities, if your footwear requires socks, you should probably be wearing pants.

Good rule.

"pegged"

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Thu Jul 28, 2016 11:58 am

Yeah, "pegged" or "tight rolled". I totally did that with my acid washed Levis and Z. Cavaricci's.

Where do you wipe your hands if you sneeze? I need my socks for that.

Edit: I am wearing the exact same shoes.

As always, the Swamp is abreast of water cooler topics before WaPo and other leading publications.

Cargo shorts do seem more practical in the intermountain west.

Tim Marchman can be an elitist blowhard a lot of the time, but I thought this Alex Rodriguez column was really good.

I had to walk away from it when he implied that the only difference between Alex and Brian Giles was where they stood on defense.

When I saw the headline "Boston Fan Enjoys Himself" I assumed he got caught masturbating on-air. Which seems like more or a Boston thing to do.

I couldn't stop laughing. The fact that the guy didn't break eye contact and didn't laugh at himself sold it.
