Are you seeing more than the ususal amount of people wearing hoodies?
I was out and about earlier today, which included a stop at the Mall. I was in a store, waiting to be helped. I engaged in conversation a woman who was just ahead of me in line. She was my age, maybe a few years younger (I am a geezer). She had on a hoodie. It was cool here today, so a hoodie was actually appropriate, but not pulled up inside the always-70-degree Mall.
We were in a store that sells (relatively) high value small items that are easy to steal, and commonly are. We talked about that for a bit. The conversation got around to the Trayvon Martin case ( I kinda steered it there, but not in too obvious a way.)
Yup, she was not a normal hoodie wearer. She was wearing hers with the hood up as a statement.2

2. my favorite shirt is a hoodie
Lime green. I wear it nearly every time I go out, either under a jacket or over a collared shirt of one kind or another. I love it. That hood is useful when the wind comes up or rain sprinkles.
But in the last few days I have noticed many many people wearing hoodies on the bus, at the store, on the street. And I live in a more white than not community.
I see we've moved on to the next manufactured trendy cause.
Cindie
I didn't see anyone wearing a hoodie this weekend but then again it was in the 80's here in Austin. :whatever:
Too bad the old dude, who lives in the third most-affluent county in the United States, runs into diversity only when he's out shopping, a few three- or five-minute encounters.
Considering the littered mess he lives in, he should consider hiring a diverse maid to come in and do some cleaning.
DUmpmonkey Sparkly just plays around.
I guess she's too good to bake cookies like Hillary, but she sure is a dirty, sloppy, slovenly housekeeper.
if anyone wore a hoodie anywhere in my WHOLE town, the local police would most likely "disappear" them.
failing that, the citizens would.
Stinky the Duche needs a hoody to keep that shiny smooth dome of his warm.
You know, I am a little green with envy about the old dude; he has something franksolich doesn't.
I wouldn't want his lack of hair, or his bulge in the middle, or his money, or his wife, or his copious luxuriant real estate, but damn, those are good ears, some of the best flaps I've ever seen.
Che wore a hoodie.So did the Unabomber.
So did the Unabomber.
:lmao:
For Christmas, the wife bought son a leather jacket with a hoodie. He would come out school with the thing pulled over his head and I would give him hell about it. Then one day I told how it was, "If I see that thing pulled over your head one more time when it's not super cold or raining, I'm going to cut it off with my pocket knife right here in front of all your schoolmates." I haven't seen it up since.
He used to meet me on one side of the school parking lot....then he got a serious girlfriend and started waiting on the other side so he could get more time with the girlfriend. I waited and worked my way through the long line to that side one day and to top things off, he acted like he didn't see me sitting there. I waited awhile then just sat down on the horn for several seconds....embarrassed the hell out of him. All the kids were dying laughing. He still waits on that side but he comes to me before I get that far down the line now..... :rotf:
Well, shit.
This is the only photograph of franksolich in full profile; all others were usually taken so as to obscure the absence of ears. This was, or is, my good side.(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/dummiedestroyer/goodside.jpg)
Now, ask me why I'm envious of the fine-flapped old dude.
You were a cutie Frank!

Were I to post "Aglasammauck cona ditklin, eranacious terabidatty, rihgts?" and one of those morons would be all over it as if it mattered.
Frank, even here, in "the third most wealthy county in the US", we have more diversity than you do in your unabomber-like cabin up there on the roof of Nebraska, so can the shit and get a new schitck. In fact, instead of a new schtick, get a life that involves human contact.
get a new schitck
It has been 70+ degrees in the midwest for the past two weeks...no hoodies here either. Bouncy fail to the DUDE.
I'll bet you'd say that to Mike too, though.

His tutu may be a little too tight causing a gut rash. He sounds so pissy. Or is that love talk ? :lmao:

Oops, did someone upset the sparkling old dude about something?

Frank that photo is adorable!
Now onto stinky, I lived in Montgomery county, MD for most of my life. One of the richest counties in the country. And one of the most racist. To them diversity is OK as long as it is no where near your million dollar home.
To be honest I noticed the assymetrical footwear before the ear issue.
Sorry to tell you, but it looks like Stinky's developed a crush on you...

So did I, and you're not kidding. The only people of color you see in Potomac are the nannies, gardeners, or housekeepers.I escaped a few years back. :rotf:

The sparkling old dude promised us he'd link to the story later.
hoodies are da bomb!
They go good with a nice pair of aviator sunglasses, too!

I was a little shocked at the responses myself....some seemed to side with me and I thank those that did.

She's about 10-11-12 years younger than the old dude, and looks okay, perhaps what's known as a "trophy wife," and the old dude with his Italianate derivation and instinct, seeks to protect her as if a bird in a gilded cage?
With all due respect to the sparkling old dude, he married an airhead, a frivolous papier-mache doll that's pretty on the outside, empty on the inside.
I'd hit it, and teach her a thing or two about life in the process.
<<doesn't hit on married women.
But I mean, hey, even the big guy's wife, as dour as she is, looks as if she knows something about the hard knocks in life, and so one's compelled to respect her.
www.electstevedawes.com
With the greatest of respect, I'm going to have to disagree. She's married to the DUde. Hasn't she suffered enough?
One could make that argument, I suppose.Well, considering franksolich is deaf, not blind....
However.
If the old dude's wife and the big guy's wife were both unmarried, and the only two women from whom franksolich could select, my choice would be obvious.
Oh Crap, humans have worn head covering from the beginning of time.
The designers are no doubt scrambling to make silk dresses with Hood's to be pulled up in rain or wind. Wasn't that long ago woman wore scarves to protect their do's so this may be the next step forward.
A Hood is JUST a head covering from the elements, the sun, the rain, the snow the ice, what would Texas be like without their cowboy and girl hats ??
People in the south need head coverings to protect them from the sun and the heat just as we in the north need some kind of head gear to protect us from the sun, the heat, the ice and he cold.
People of many religions wear hats, bonnets and scarves, they all served a original purpose and so do today The Hood on sweat shirts and jackets came from a reason that people would need them at some time.
If this is open season on what a person wears in public on a rainy night, to walk a few blocks to a friends home, then we need to issue umbrellas to all citizens and insure our kids do not leave home with out them.
we need to issue umbrellas to all citizens
Vesta, I know you were being facetious, but this is something a DUmmie would say. Free umbrellas for all!!!!!
"Little Red Riding Hood" wore a Hood.
But then again, "Red" wasn't a 6'2" black male teen with an attitude who attacked an armed man.
Stoopid should be fatal. In this case, it was.
http://www.electstevedawes.com
True, Red Riding Hood was just a little girl heading for Grandmoms house with a basket of Soda and Skittles.
Big Bad Wolfe was on the Prowl to catch anyone in the woods that he thought was strange and different, how dare anyone come into My woods without my permission, how dare they walk the path wearing a hood over their head even for protection from the rain. Big bad Wolfe was hungry and ate her all up.
Bad wolf was not hungry for food, he was hungry for a kill, hungry for notice and hungry for recognition. He prowled the woods day and night for anyone or any thing to vent his anger, prove his man hood on.
We do not know if Red Riding hood was 6'4 or if she was black, white or Asian. We are told she was young and some youth do get very tall at 13-14. All we know is this Red Rinding Hood was young and on a peacefull mission.
We do not know is if Red Riding Hood fought back against the Big bad Wolfe, if she/he fought for their lives against this unknown threat, all we know is Red Riding Hood ---Stood their Ground " against the Big Bad Wolfe and lost.
Grimm's tales have something to teach children for over 100 years, all about the dark side of life a child may encounter at some time in their lives.
Now tell me why an unarmed person that fights back against a stranger with any kind of weapon has any fault.
:tool:
So what is a tool Gina, a hammer or a oven mitt to get hot food out of the oven?????
Any tool to be usefull has to be used by someone or some thing. Do you believe I am being used by others to their benifit ?
:thatsright:
Perhaps I am but at least this tool was not lost in the dirt to be found years late coved in mud and rusted. This tool still works and in the right hands may be usefull.
:lmao: I feel like I just got stoned or something after reading that
