Two worthwhile articles on Islam in Australia

Yeah I know. Have a look at my post count. They haven't all been on sharpening Or cycling...

I don't know, you make a little offhanded remark and the next thing you're embroiled in a tit-for-tat with some person who wasn't even the one your comments were directed at. They suggest that I am argumentative, and this is after they have made the most pedantic argument I have heard this week about the difference between "should not" and "can not". Then they start trying to deride you by making reference to your choice of sporting wear, as if they think I haven't heard it ALL before.

A sense of humour is mandatory or you would go bonkers...

Hey,
I'd like it noted that I like tight tank tops....especially on women, of whatever religion.

At least these can be vaguely amusing.

Amusement factor fades rapidly when hairy brownish lint starts to show.

What about the lowriders where a pair of undies is the top of them (like, they're sewn together as one garment)?

So seeing as you've eliminated everything they currently wear from the list, what should the well-dressed young person-around-town be wearing, in your esteemed sartorial opinion?

Something like this perhaps:

Hey I remember having daks like that, and purple and black patent leather platform boots as well.
Would be battling to get them to fit on one leg these days.

Don't we have a shed dress code already?
I remember contributing "manky ugg boots with gaffer tape support"

Hey Termi monster - I suppose you like a wet T-shirt or too?

Well I certainly hope you wouldn't have a problem with fitting in the ankles.

[TermiMonster]

Ahhhhh......yu gotta luv it

[silentC]

Hey I remember having daks like that ...

[FenceFurniture]

me too. Thank god they went out of style!

Hmmmmm.



Daks like that (yep, I had 'em too) or red and yellow lycra (nope, never had it).....



That's a tough call, you know.

[silentC]

You do realise that's not me in that photo, don't you?

Pfffft. You do realise that it IS me in my avatar don't you?

Edit: And that ain't black lycra buddy - that's a full-on home grown hair shirt.

You need to see someone about that scoliosis!

Now you are expecting a rational discussion and that's not consistent with stereotyping which I thought was the gist of this thread?

Talking about lists, I was thinking the other day of offensive apparel and here's a few I came up with in no particular order

Baseball caps on backwards
Hoodies that cover the face
Bum crack/shorts and pants
Pants with crotches around the knees
Tanks tops that are too small - actually unless you're in some sort of sport I think most tank tops are ridiculous
Pants or trousers that are too long so the back/bottoms of the pants drag in the dirt.
Longs socks with sandals.
Low rider pants that deliberately show undies
Loose shorts with no undies.

Bob, you need to come spend a week with me to get desensitized I was only asking two boys with the low hung pants yesterday what they do in the morning when they can't find their "Tuesday" undies as both had them on in plain site.

The mens shed is currently at a local SHS so I am well sensitised. Actually from what I have seen, the kids there are pretty good with most wearing some form of uniform. Having dealt with youth most of my life I thought I'd give seniors a try but there's not a lot of difference when I stop to think about it. Funny, moody, interesting, but definitely a bit less "lookatme, lookatme" about them. I think dogs are good companions, well I like mine anyway, especially now they have stopped relieving themselves inside the house and the shed.

Time to go find my Grumpy old man T-shirt, it's comfy and just wearing it relieves me of being a grump.
