Tough Guys in Skirts

In the words of Ben Harper: "If you don't like my fire, then don't come around." That is rule number one around here.

I came to a stunning realization today. For the past seven or eight years, I've seen people wearing t-shirts that are about seventeen sizes too big. Personally, I think these people look like absolute morons. But, what I realized today, is that they might as well wear cocktail dresses.

What makes this all the more interesting is that this look is for tough guys. Real hard-core, gang-banging, (wannabe) thugs. Now, I won't be the first person to say "Hey, nice skirt, buddy" to one of these gentlemen. Why? Because, with my luck, I will pick the real gang-banging thug who still thinks he's in South Central L.A. circa 1992. What I will do, however, is have myself a nice chuckle while driving downtown to work everyday.

I implore you, my friends, have yourself a laugh when you see a tough guy in a skirt. It makes life a little bit easier, when you know these fools look like little girls and they don't even know it.
