As I motor around this vast universe I'm noticing a certain segment of the male population trying to impress others by dressing like little boys. These boys can't seem to put a baseball hat on straight or wear clothes that fit them. Now I understand that sometimes we hafta wear hand me downs when we're kids, but by the time these boys are able to purchase alcohol legally they should be able to pick clothes that are their size. I don't think they can call 'em shorts if they are 3 inches above their shoes.
And t-shirts, what's with the t-shirts they choose to wear? Now, I'm a t-shirt guy and my t-shirts usually have something written on 'em. But some of the shirts I've seen are amazingly ridiculous. These boys are trying to impress me by wearing MMA shirts or some gym that they don't attend. I'm all for them telling me who their favorite band is (except for maybe KISS, they should probably keep that to themselves) or brand of surf board they ride, but don't get carried away.
And when i say carried away, I'm talking about the guy that is wearing head to toe ADIDAS clothes or Monster energy drink clothes as if they are sponsored by those companies. Just because he's wearing 'em doesn't mean he can play ball or race a motorcycle, so, just stop it, you look silly.
Speaking of looking silly and motorcycles, let's talk about Harley riders. Now contrary to popular belief, I like Harley Davidson. They're an American company, they've had they're ups and downs but they are still here and making a good product. The part I'm not wild about is Harley riders, what a ridiculous bunch this is, talk about a group of guys that are trying to buy their cool, holy crap. I ride a Suzuki dl 1000 vstrom and any other bike that goes by me in the opposite direction will wave, except the turd riding the hog. Because I ride a "jap bike" I'm not in the cool guy club and I can guarantee that weekend warrior I ride more miles a year than he does. Nothing pleases me more than during the ride home I come up on some traffic and I start splitting lanes and I get to pass the Harley sitting in line like it's a car, cause the guy is too scared to follow me. But, hot damn, he looks good sitting there in all his Harley clothing. I've been to a few motorcycle shows and the amount of Harley crap these guys wear is amazing. Like I said about the guy wearing the ADIDAS stuff, these guys will wear Harley hats, do rags, head bands, sun glasses, ear rings, multiple layers of shirts, vests, belts, belt buckles, underwear (I'm guessing), pants, shorts, chaps, wallet, wallet chain, key chain, socks, boots and boot laces, while holding his diet Coke in a can cozy all with the almighty Harley Davidson logo emblazoned on 'em. What's even funnier is this seems to be their weekend clothing, he'll show up at the grocery store in all this crap. So Harley Davidson is awesome, most Harley riders are lame.
So guys, you might be impressing the other Harley riders or the other extreme athlete wannabes, but that young lady over there thinks you dress like her little brother.
The other guys I wanna point out are the ones that appear to have just given up. Some of these pathetic examples don't seem to own a clean shirt and the dirty shirt always seems to be white. I work in a very dirty environment and usually get rather greasy. But I don't take my wife to dinner wearing dirty work clothes.
The other fellows look like their significant other dressed 'em, which is not always a bad thing. But it seems to me that some guys get to a certain age and just flat give up. Then grandpa and grandma are wearing matching clothes, and they match the dog also, all made out of the American flag. The American flag is not clothing, period.
So get dressed, but some thought into it and quit trying to impress us by wearing what looks like the side of a race car.
And last but not least, I hate to even bring it up, because you all know better. I better not see any of you in "mandals".
