Jalen Rose talked about people rebelling against the Fab 5 for their superlong baggy shorts. They had a thug image, and the shorts exacerbated that. If you get a chance watch the Fab 5 documentary sometime (the Bad Boys Pistons one is really good, too).
Men have ugly legs and ugly bodies. Why on earth would you like to see more men wearing booty shorts?
Also Converse All Stars padded with double socks...knee socks. They are too young to remember the jock strap which was guilty of exposing a nut sack once in awhile, so eventually replaced.
Ah the memories of another era. Jock straps were the perfect receptacle for the old analgesic Atomic Balm. Load up some unsuspecting nerds jock and then goad the PE coach into sending everyone on a cross country run. The fastest guy by far was Mr. Atomic Balm.....if he wasn't lying on the shoulder of the road holding himself and screaming for his mother.....
I honestly didn't know that jock straps are gone. There's something wrong with Denny's board if this has never been mentioned. I come here to impart my pearls of wisdom, and in theory to learn, though there's nothing left for me to learn, and now I find that the ONE particle of data I didn't know was DENIED me. The death of jock straps deserves not only its own thread. It deserves its own fucking message board. This is a travesty. Who lost jock straps? The same State Dept. bozos who lost China? Jock straps died with a whimper, not a bang? I have read the news every fucking day since 1960 and I didn't know. Imagine what poor people in India know. They know nothing compared to spoiled Americans. If I didn't know, how the fuck can they know?
Does Denny's liability insurance cover this? I could have embarrassed myself, if I'd referred to jock straps as if they still exist. If I had, I would have sued his ass for embarrassing me. A message board owner has an obligation to keep his slave posters attuned to current trends, lest they embarrass themselves. In France, dignity is considered a right. Denny is lucky he's not in France. I'd say, "Au revoir, le punke! Au contraire, Mademoiselle! Le coupe de gras et un Corvette du LeMans! Cracher dans la soupe!
