Shit's all sorts of different now.

Board shorts are swim suits surfers wear.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Gus, think surfing: [link]

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Gus, they like long shorts.

All this Board shorts talk is making me think about the "jams" fad in about 1987-1988....

What is even happening?

Yeah, Sophia. I know what board shorts are, but I was just going to ask why the stopped calling them 'jams'.

Wow. That's doesn't inspire confidence

No shit! I'm guessing arson rather than accident, but who knows?!

When I worked at AT&T Labs, there was a guy who wore shorts the entire year round.

We've got a few of those. Including the guy who bikes in from 60 MILES away. That's a human powered bike, not gas.

Other allowable work shorts: UPS.

When I was at Pennys this weekend, I kept trying on pants that ...weren't. I finally gave up trying to search for the normal length pants and just got another shirt. And yes, there were suit shorts. Just wrong. I recall them from the mid-eighties and they weren't nice then.

If I weren't already off ice cream, this would surely do it.

Of course, now I am wondering why they were called jams in the first place. I sewed a crapload of them when I was in the 9th grade!

the increasingly popular look over the last few months is to pair gauchos--usually jersey thin material--with a-shirts. Making it have no form, no structure, and look way dressed-down.

I would so never do this look. Must have a belt, even though I realize that thin strip of leather isn't REALLY holding the gut in.

I love flip flops and wore them all summer to work last year (I have a pair on now at work). This summer I mostly wear flats, though, as I've found some cute ass ones.

Not a fan of shorts in general and definitely hates the "dress shorts." Stupid trend.

I wouldn't mind getting a nice pair of flip-flops except for that I need arch support, and most of them don't have it.

Dress shorts would never fly in SF--way too cold in the summer here.
