As I’m writing this I’ve been thinking about the pros and cons.
Con: You could never out run the cops in these p@nts (a point Michael made), and I’m betting at lease 87.6% of the people who wear them need to at some point.
Pro: If you ever get lost in the wilderness overnight you can use one of the legs as a sleeping bag and the other as a tent.
Con: : I’d imagine these babies greatly limit the number and kind of ch!cks who’d be interested in you.
Pro: You’d never be accused of being a narc at a Korn concert.
Con: Your job opportunities would be severely limited wearing these p@nts. (“Would you like fries with that?”) No way you could show up to a job interview wearing them if you wanted to get the job.
Pro: How sweet would it be to watch someone show up for a job interview wearing those p@nts.
Con: People in public places would just assume you were a punk and stay away from you.
Pro: People in public places would stay away from you.
Con: Your dad would hate them.
Pro: It’s great blog fodder, if your kid shows up wearing them.
But back to my epiphany. When I was Josh’s age I had this thing for heavy metal t-shirts. (I still do, I guess. I’m told my collection of t-shirts is abnormally extensive these days.) But my Dad, a Southern Baptist Preacher…man, he hated them. I remember this one time he said something like, “I’m pretty sure I’m going to use that shirt to light the grill this week when we’re grilling out.” And I was like, “What?! This shirt is awesome! It’s…like…totally cool.” I mean, seriously. I have NO idea why he wanted to burn my shirts. They were awesome and totally cool. But these p@nts...that’s a completely different situation.
Okay, okay, I really do get it. (And props to my Dad for all those years I never understood.) The adults just can’t understand the teenage generation and their ridiculous trends. Dad hated my shirts, I hate Josh’s p@nts, and Josh will hate his kid’s…I don’t know…chin piercing that links to his nipples, ears, elbows and ankle piercings (I mean seriously, it’s gonna have to be weee…eeeeird to top what’s hip with teens today). Well, let’s not kid ourselves…if he’s wearing these pants all the time, he may not even have to worry about little Johnny’s piercings. I mean who’s gonna get close enough to those p@nts to procreate? Then again…the one chick he dated with the hot-pink hair…

Oh, I don't know, even with the p@nts on, he's still really cute. Girls tend to overlook bad fasion if the guy is cute enough. Actually, he looks alot like this guy I happen to think is really hot.
OH I must dissagree, teenage girls seem to only care about what a boy looks like. When I worked for Elder Beermans this 18 year old I was friends with wouldn't even come close to a guy if he was wearing tapered leg jeans, Seriously.... It is only when you get older that you look past that. I mean come on would any grown adult ever date you, Tim, had they been looking only at the fashion. Come on lets be honest with ourselves. :o) One thing is for sure though, he should never have the kind of problem we have had by wearing pants like that, if he finds someone who looks past them to get married to.
If I know anything, it's what teenage girls like. (Did that come out wrong?) Lose the p@nts around the girls. (Wait, did that come out wrong?) What I mean is...p@nts...
