Wear LL Bean socks with ALL my crocs past October.

Normally tuck in my T-shirts, especially in church.

Consider Wrangler/Levi's at the top of the jean fashion pool.

Will not hesitate to leave my house wearing any combination of shoes, socks, sandals, etc.

Rarely shave on weekends.

Wear baseball hats inside.

Think nothing of wearing sweatshirts, shorts, socks and crocs.

Think the Backstreet Boys are even gayer than the Villiage People.

And worry more about what poeple think of my character, than wardrobe.

You forgot to use the words "dagnabit," "newfangled," "gingerbread" and "back in my day." Like this:

"Dagnabit! Back in my day, I remember when people didn't wear newfangled jeans with all that gingerbread on it. And we would have continued if it wasn't for you pesky kids."

Don't forget to shake your cane at us in dismay.

bebenn is a man. Clothing is purely utilitarian to men. Even well dressed men. THey dress well cause they get some kind of use out of the look. More women, better job, etc.

I take exception to this post. I never use "newfangled", except when referring to those flying machines without propellers.

And what part of wearing Crocs is dressing well? Uggh...

**Kollektor** · 10-07-2008, 07:11 AM

I never even HEARD of Crocs. Those things are for GUYS? Are you frigging kidding me? I thought that was chick gear...

Very mature son. Now take off those girly clothes and show us what is really down there.

We will still love you son..

Dear Posh,

You could not be more correct regarding your view of Crocs. No self - respecting man should be caught dead in a pair of Crocs. They are the ass - zit of the male wardrobe.

I'd also like to put on notice, all the douce - bags that wear their Bluetooth headsets while not on the phone. It doesn't make you look cool, you look like a douce bag. Take them off. You look like a douce bag.

YES! YES! YES!

I AGREE 100%

Crocs, never. White socks, never. Tucked-in t-shirts, never. Pre-ripped jeans, never. Stone-washed jeans, never. The 80s are not back, they were uncool even back in the 80s. Tags on, never.

Oh, and ladies, Uggs are out. They never looked good, but we told you they did to get in your pants. Same goes for oversized gradient shades. Sorry.

Remember, when you dress up to look good, that's fine. But if you're doing it all labels and la mode, you're doing it to compete with other women. Count us out, we think you look stupid, but of course we'll say you look good because ... it's the pants thing again.

Pug, we seem to have the same mind when it comes to this. However I only wear white socks with boating shoes if at the beach or on a deep-sea fishing trip, the ones that make you look like you have no socks on. And I couldn't agree more on the Crocs, they were made to make people look bad.

Speaking of Sunglasses, Oakley M-Frames look stupid. Someone needs to tell you.

**Guanaco** · 10-07-2008, 09:10 PM

I use Ray-Ban Aviators, nothing else.

**bebenn** · 10-07-2008, 09:30 PM

What's with all the hate about crocs? If you don't like them, don't efing buy any! They are extremely comfortable, and are perfect for sitting aroung the hunting camp after all day in the woods.

Also, if any of you that are *****ing about crocs are sporting an earring, then you have lost your man card and I don't want to hear about it!

I think you got it all wrong, for hunting they're ok, gardening or camping... but there are people who use them everyday in the city/town instead of loafers or whatnot, and that's just wrong.

As for the earring thing, that's a big no-no for me, it looks gay IMO.

**bebenn** · 10-07-2008, 09:34 PM

So I shouldn't wear them when I am cruising chicks in night clubs?

Nope.

**pecty** · 10-07-2008, 09:44 PM

I am with Guan, Rayban Aviators. Most of the others Aviators that I see look more like my Scubapro Frameless 2. Here next time you are brainstorming for a new desgin, just make sunglasses out of this:

That guy looks fine, Merk. His whole outfit works. And those pants aren't red. Those are brick.

Those jeans are a rip-off of Nantucket reds from Murray's Toggery on Main Street, and they are totally fine between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Nothing is more heinous on a man than parachute pants, trousers that roll up and THEN button in place, or those freaky batik pantaloons from Bali...especially with yellow socks and Birkenstoks. The sock/Birkenstock combo is directly responsible for Europe's declining birthrate.

They look very Scooby-Doo to me.

Must add: only dark-haired men should attempt to wear pastels. Blond and ginger-haired men need to stick to neutrals and darks or risk looking like a refugee from the IceCapades.

Those ARE pretty f*cked up looking. This is why Oakley is no longer an independent brand. NASCAR hillbilly dads can't support a company on their own.

They should be called "Douche"tooth headsets. You are so on the money with this.

Carry on then.

**Kollektor** · 10-08-2008, 07:30 AM

Actually, those Crocs that BBen posted look sort of preppy in an LL Bean sort of way. I live in a cave and never even heard of Crocs... thought they were some type of man-clog.

Talk to da hand, cuz the face ain't listenin' - that, to all you Bluetooth haters. I never even thought for a second that it looks cool; it's just practical if you're on the run.

I think those oversized shades can look super cool on women.

Anyway, glad we all agree on Hawaiian shirts. My own pet peeve. Ack.
