Baggy Pants
It’s been a while since my last update. I’ve been a little all over the place and decided that my next few blog posts will be dedicated to “Issues in Society & Social Media”.
So, you ask: “Ironspike – Can you please enlighten us with your genius intellect and fascinating insight?”
Yes, young padowan – I can.
The topic for today is: Baggy Pants .
I’m in Kroger the other day minding my own business. I was pushing my retarded buggy (you know the buggy – the one with only 3 working wheels) over to the lunch meat counter. Kroger sells some kick ass Private Selection Smoke House ham (check that shit out- it’s awesome!). I tell the old lady behind the counter I want two pounds of ham and then I turn around and start people watching.
Two guy walk by sporting the “Baggy Pants” look. I can see their boxers. A few thoughts run through my mine:
First, “Why?”
Second, “They are wearing belts. Why?”
Third, “Mom and dad let you out of the house like that? Why?”
I don’t care how old you are. I don’t care how you try to slice it. I don’t care who else is doing it. The baggy pants fad is just plain fucking stupid. If it looks retarded then most likely IT IS RETARDED.
So, I’ll answer the questions above in order:
“Why do people wear that shit?”
Answer: I’m pretty sure that 99.9% of the people who are sporting the baggy pants look have no clue where it came from. They seen someone else do it.. and “oh shit..they are doing it must be cool! I’ll do it too!” Then when laws and school punish offenders who violate dress codes – the first thing you hear is “Your trying to take my individualism away!”
Wake up dumb ass! You didn’t invent that idiotic style you copied it from another loser. The whole fad (from my understanding) originated from prison attire. Yeah, that’s a fashion I wanna copy.
Next, “Why are you wearing a belt with your baggy ass pants?”
This one puzzles me. The whole fad of the baggy pants started from prison folks who’s pants were too big and they were baggy. Prisoners were not allowed to wear belts to hold them up. So, this raises the question “If prisoners had belts would this fad still have started?” – I doubt it. I’m almost %100 sure that an inmate would rather have a belt to keep their pants up.
Think about it: if some randy inmates were going to gang rape some poor soul – who would they pick first? The guy who is wearing his pants up to his chest and looks like Urckle –or- the man who’s pants is already hanging down to his knees?
Last, “Mom and dad let you wear crap like that?”
The sad answer to this is yes. Mothers and fathers let their kids wear just about anything. And honestly, there isn’t one good justification as to why. It’s just stupid. I come from an age where the parents held the authority in the house hold. In this day and age the roles are reversed. It’s a sad time we live in.
