Much less barbaric.

The SCA is a LOT less barbaric. The “Battle of Nations” style stuff is essentially submission fighting with blunted metal blades. SCA replaces the metal with solid rattan, which has the same weight, but isn’t metal. We also rely on each other to call “good” blows. If you get hit to a generally accepted “good”…

You're not alone. I don't care either. My husband wears them a lot, I think they look fine. We have two little kids, I appreciate the extra pockets.

“Utilitarian”

Yes, lady friend! I was looking for this thread. I actually even like a guy in cargo shorts. It’s funny that the author defines cargo shorts as frat boy style, because where I grew up they were just the style and non-cargo shorts actually look preppy to me.

I’m with you, sister. My husband likes ‘em. I like ‘em. Our son looks so cute in ‘em. West coast fashion sense all the way — comfort rules.

I was about to ask this same thing. The only things I can come up with are basketball-type shorts, jorts and flat-front preppy chini-type shorts. Given those choices, cargos seem the least offensive.

I’m pretty sure I know you...

Hey, speaking of weirdo photos ... Where is his daughter in the mirror??? And who is the boy who appears in the mirror but not the photo???? Demons? Crazy camera photos? Proof of extraterrestrial life? It’s hard to say.

This happened to my dad. Years ago he was driving on a reservation in New York during midwinter ceremonies in December. As he was driving, he saw a white ball floating on the side of the road. It was going fast and he followed it. It came to the building where there was ceremonies and went in. He heard later it was a…

It's an allegory for the fact that every asshole in Colorado drives a Subaru. Proof: I'm in Colorado, and I drive a Subaru.

I don't feel comfortable changing in front of people. I use the changing room.

I don’t even take showers at the gym. Because of people like this.

This sentence makes my orifices bleed.
