No Pants! (possibly NSFW depending

[cirquelover]

Yep, those look like the kind of kid she was describing. Freaking hilarious that they think they're actually cool!

The kids up here aren't smart enough to have something to hold up the pants. I see them drop them all the time. I've also seen our police harrass them for it too.

Somebody gave me the best visual ever. A group of baggy-pants was crossing a street and they had to hold up their pants with their hand. They looked like a group of Victorian ladies holding up their skirts.

Ridicule is probably the best tool.

Funny how the baggy pants thing started when I was in Jr. High and hasn't faded since. At least, that's when I think it started.

When the first twinges of "peer pressure" fashion trends started creeping into my life (Jr. High school?), I felt like I was a loser because I was never "hip." Somehow, I quickly realized that the trendiness was too difficult and not worth the effort. Once I started not giving a shiite, I was never popular with the trendoids, but I never really cared. I had my friends and we were fellow geeks.

This made me LMAO...

Step1
Choose a gangsta name. In days past, fashion has demanded that such gangsta names were elaborate pseudonyms crafted of misspelled words and hyphens. Today's gangsta names are much more diverse. If unable to create a suitable gangsta name, ask chums from the neighborhood (or "homies") to give you a nickname. Phrases like "chill," "dog" and "money" are often good to use; avoid names like "Carlton," "Bryant" and "Vanilla Ice."

Step2
Learn to use the gangsta lingo. Word. If the local community college does not offer classes, then use resources such as Urban Dictionary or watch reruns of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" (see Resources below). A great first step is to always add "dog" to a sentence when addressing others. It's easy and fun to do, dog.

Step3
Buy very large pants but not a belt. Wear nice underwear, preferably boxers. Real gangstas do not have dirty drawers!

Step4
Invest in a quality set of poorly-done tattoos. The more they look like they were received in prison with a tattoo gun rigged from an old ink pen, the better! Popular gangsta tattoo choices include praying hands, portraits of Tupac and Biggie, pictures of one's dogs and, of course, your own name.

Step5
Pick a quality gangsta role model from television and imitate everything he does. If unsure where to find a gangsta role model, go to a favorite music video channel.

Step6
Remember that nothing says "gangsta" like a mouth full of gold teeth, especially if they are studded with diamonds that actually spell out the word "gangsta."

Step7
Enjoy the newfound street credibility and the respect that the gangsta lifestyle brings, but always remember that struggle going on across the bleak city streets, which you have probably heard of through the jams on your 80-gig video iPod.

The other week we were approaching the bag check area at the park and we were behind a guy who wasn't even bothering to hold his pants up. They kept just collecting around his knees.

Yeah, sorry about that. I left my belt at home and wasn't noticing their repeated drop.

No that's just part of the parks new strip search procedure. You can never be to careful about security but I would suggest avoiding the line where Capt. Hook is doing the searches.
