Make up your mind, woman - you gals kvetch about speedos, cut off jeans, Bermuda shorts, cargo shorts, boxers, tighty whities, going commando, and now “hoochie daddy” shorts? One wonders where men ever got the idea that women were impossible to please. I’ve got a great idea - why don’t you pick a lane and stay in it?
Laughing so hard. Memories of visiting my aunt in Florida. Everywhere "older" men in shorts. Loose shorts. Yes, hanging out. Like a badge of honor - shirtless, sandals, tanned with parts hanging out the side of their shorts.
I lived in Austin in the 60s. I went to college at UT. I walked around the lake and swam at Barton Springs and lived through temp/humidity summers of approx 100/100 w/o A/C. I survived the tower shooting on 8/1/66. (wearing out the backsplash key on this text) and never humiliated myself or my gender by wearing such a ridiculous garment. I’ll bet there’s at least one knucklehead walking around in a Stetson, boots, and 3” seamed shorts. (Seems to me that the size of the container generally indicates the size of the contents, BTW.)
I usually wore the uniform of the lunatic fringe of the day: red bandanna head band, white T-shirt, chambray long sleeve worn open, cut-offs just above the knee, and huaraches. Elegant and demure.
I woulda loved your folks parties, but unlike Guillermo, I would never have traumatized their daughter.
Anyway, Alisa, thanks for a good laugh to start my day. 🥰
I grew up in San Antonio and I’ve lived in Austin for 14 years now. I still tell people I’m from San Antonio because, quite frankly, this city tries too hard. They’ll say they’re “obsessed” with tacos. San Antonio natives will just eat them and not make a thing about it (and they are way better in SA). I do enjoy living in Austin, but you do have to find your niche here. It’s a little harder to find what you enjoy without being caught up in some sort of pretentious fad that will come and go before you even realize what is going on.
This may be the one and only reason I am happy about living in Dallas, the lack of balls hanging out of short shorts... thank Jah for that. Still like Austin better tho.

Wow. Just wow.
Marvelous. Absolutely.

Shudder.

I grew up in the 70’s when men wore short shorts. I imagine it’s a shock to see them for this generation.
The beanbag chair that smelled like weed before weed smelled good. That just put me there. I love your writing style!
Weed used to be called skunk for a reason! I can smell it in my mind now. Dank.
I expect it's a natural counterpart to the modesty garments women in America will soon be required to wear as America becomes "great again."
So funny, thanks so much, I get it!
OMG 😆 😂 your description of Memo Drain-clog is hilarious! I’m a Boomer and I can tell you the 60s were a riot too! Thanks for helping keep us sane!
This was awesome! I needed that laugh 😂

Yeah living in Houston for nine years, I’ll take SA over Austin or (shudder) DFW.
Hahaha! My Dad wore these with a Better in the Bahamas tank top. And yes, knee socks.
I need to rock that outfit soon :-)
Send photos 🤣
No one wants that I promise 😂😆

Hilarious. You are a true comic. Lord, do I remember the '70s, too, when clothing-optional was practiced.
