Tell you what, that has got to be about the dumbest fashion thing ever. I saw a kid once who's shorts were hanging so low you could see almost all of his underwear-covered butt. How he kept the pants from falling--not to mention how he could walk with his pants riding that low--I never did figure out. Good for a laugh, though.  :laugh:

the police like them though...you ever see one of them kids try to RUN in those things...it is the funniest thing you will see this month..

I was driving thru Longview one day and a young man wearing jeans that would fit the entire football team at once was trying to get across the road, it was very busy and about half way across he started trying to run.

he hiked them pants up like Erkel and started this stiff legged jolting run, legs straight and swinging out in big arcs to the side; his body like a board swaying side to side like a boat in a high wind ...I almost ran off the road laughing..

now THAT was SEXXY, I am thankful I was not a teenage girl or I woulda had to pull over and offer myself as his love slave... ::) ::)

One time I was in the produce dept at a grocery store and just couldn't stop staring at this one kid... he was standing at a produce table with his pants ON THE FLOOR AROUND HIS ANKLES. 

He was talking to a friend and the table/produce stand was kind of between them so his friend couldn't see, I guess.  And it was really no biggie since he had these big oversized basketball shorts on underneath.  But in the meantime his outer shorts had completely fallen down, along with a belt with a metal buckle (I guess it had been fashionably loose too, although I don't know how he could have missed the clunk when the metal buckle hit the floor – maybe the big shorts kind of insulated the noise).

Anyway I just stared at him with a 'WTF' look, and went on my way.  I got halfway to the deli and heard him go, "Oh my God!!"

It looks uncomfortable.

Schools around here (and even some malls) outlaw that particular fashion.

One wonders what the purpose of the pants even are, at that point.  Leg warmers with pockets, I guess?

This is how I will leave this world I'm sure.  One day I won't be able to control the urge, and man is it ever strong, to pull down on a pair of these low-riding pants.  (Although I might be able to out-run the banger-wannabe)  One time I saw one who had white tight-fitting boxers and the way his bubble-butt was wiggling, it was positively pornographic!  I loved it! 
I mean really, what is it if not a bizarre invitation to be rear-mounted?

"That particular fashion"

:laugh: :laugh:

I don't know why, but I found that funny. I suppose the word "fashion" isn't something that immediately comes to mind when I see something like that. :laugh:

Many of the kids around here are wearing their pants like that. They've been doing it for several years now. And it's not limited to one particular race or demographic either, except for age perhaps. And the underwear is NEVER attractive. It always looks like something you'd use to dust off your funiture. Or wash your car.

If I can judge from the rear view, they're welcome to wash my car. ...  ;)
