I especially appreciate your framing--getting the oh-so-clean-cut guy in the picture on the wall in the same shot! Tee hee!<BR/><BR/>I think the whole point is to make people like us mad, actually. But when fashion interferes with free movement, there's an undeniable problem, Houston. Every once in awhile we need to run--to get out from in front of a speeding car, to catch a bus--maybe even to help someone who's in peril. <BR/><BR/>Keep shooting, evil one. And you can't bore me with brown-headed nuthatches!Julie Zickefoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06654698829603424649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-7579641516246373512007-11-11T17:45:00.000-05:002007-11-11T17:45:00.000-05:00Mary, have I told you today what a gem you are?

I agree. I just don't get it. Walking looks like such a hassle--not to mention ridiculous. We have brown-headed nuthatches, too. We've also seen a few bluebirds lately. We must be on a migratory path for them because we saw them in the spring, as well.cat59https://www.blogger.com/profile/10072166570056696838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-53139003138089140122007-11-11T13:34:00.000-05:002007-11-11T13:34:00.000-05:00Hi Mary,I totally understand what you mean about a...Hi Mary,<BR/>I totally understand what you mean about all this dressing-stuff. Although I have to say, that I´m afraid that if parents tell their kids how ridiculous they will dress much more like this, I don´t like this kind of dressing at all. I hope if one day I will have children by myself, they won´t dress like this!!!<BR/>Maybe it depends on what you study, because at my law school in Graz now freshman dressed like this.<BR/>Lots of greetings, VerenaVerenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042568844167258267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-60491005897805909442007-11-11T12:22:00.000-05:002007-11-11T12:22:00.000-05:00Lovely birds but shame about the pants!!Lovely birds but shame about the pants!!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17298456850858879001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-47476200702655492502007-11-11T04:20:00.000-05:002007-11-11T04:20:00.000-05:00Hello, Mary.

Of course they are influenced by hip hop and rap singers' garb.<BR/>When guys walk in pants like that, I don't think they take baby steps. To me, it looks like they crapped their pants, hence the droop and the walk. Sorry if anyone is offended, but that's what I see.KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-83630220319811081002007-11-10T19:50:00.000-05:002007-11-10T19:50:00.000-05:00I guess they're just trying to be anti-establishme...I guess they're just trying to be anti-establishment or whatever.-Funny photo to look at though.-from baggy pants to birds.-You're blog is always great fun!Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955054342034509500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-58472322422919600472007-11-10T18:15:00.000-05:002007-11-10T18:15:00.000-05:00Oh you are wicked, wicked, wicked!

I so don't get the style either. This guy I used to work with used to have at least three inches of his undies hanging out at the top. I told him I could see his underwear. He told me he forgot his belt. The next day he wore a belt and it was the same, at least three inches of undies. I really don't care to see anyone's underwear. I don't understand how they keep their pants up with them being on their butt like that. And don't get me started on butt crack and cleavage on women. I don't wanna see it!<BR/>Can't wait to see what you do on campus!NatureWomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04272529400065960820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-51254142152533887132007-11-10T08:51:00.000-05:002007-11-10T08:51:00.000-05:00I am one who likes to wear my clothing a little ba...I am one who likes to wear my clothing a little baggy but that is more for comfort!
