All blatantly heterosexist.
Give that man a pony. Indeed it is. Like all discussion of clothing and sexual politics.

What, so should we stop? Anyway, backless chaps are soo last month.

Arseless chaps? Surely chaps with arses are simply trousers.

Women dress for women - discuss

A tautology? I suppose it depends how tight they are. :)

Jeansless chaps is what you need to be careful with.

I was walking past Urge one night and heard the doorman explain to two men that it was no-shirts night, and they'd have to disrobe to enter (which they happily did).
I imagine with no shirts and no arse things would get a bit drafty.

Like this guy? I'm confused by the extra leg. Do think his name is Jake? It is SFW, by the way. Mostly. You might have to answer the odd question or two.

You're one sophist-I-cato'd fella.
Soffit-stuck Katydid, surely
ie: an under-arch stridulator
now that is cricket!
Daylight rubbery and all...Now the question is, are you CatoElder or CatoMinor?
neither Censor nor suicidal-Stoic am I
and Dionysius may keep you in distichs
for a couplet minutes or two, but cantos aside, there's Pliny more where they came from...So yes, the playing's the heart of the thing,
to cater to that I cleave to CatoSuzy! -

There's certainly another mini-category for 'people who as soon as it gets vaguely warm (either during summer, or in a crowded gig) take their t shirt off and dangle it out of the side of their pants. You see the smelly steam come off them when they come out of the gig having lost about a litre of sweat.
And another for that rugby forward look with a shirt with white collar, up, under a brown homespun if it's cold. Y'know, the one who always drinks straight from the jug.

Is there another way?

Bendy straws. Funnels. Engineering students are remarkably inventive. Considering.

Nope.

No shirts night reminds me of when I bounced Uni Q at Cloud 9 (UC Student bar). As they say its f*&k or f*&ht on a Friday night. There was no fighting.
Although the patron who came up to me every half hour to ask where he could have a fag, got old pretty fast (the correct answer was down stairs at Benttleys Bar). -
Just thinking -heh!
A long long loooong time ago, I served as bouncer for a pool tournament at a tiny West Coast pub. (My qualifications were, in order: being bland, difficult to physically rile, known to have some knowledge of martial arts (aikido) and being squat & hefty.)It was an important pool tournament: 3 away teams coming to decide semis & final games (with a great big silver cup at stake-)
Waua! Were most of the players drunker'n! They kept 'hitting' on me (males & females) but never gave any other kind of trouble (puking etc. in the bushes was de rigeur then.)
Way back then - early 1970s - nobody would know what a human asexual was - even if they'd learned some biology.
Hell, even I didnt!
And - mis-direction, pseudo-empathy, and bluffing still would work perfectly fine in that line of work even now I would think (paticularly with a taser close to hand.)

"Hot West Coast Bloke (S.I)"

This is one of the few threads untouched by that little episode. I'd very much appreciate that it stay that way. There's no reason for it to be brought up here.

Just the one. All gone.

Heh. That's also a pretty accurate description of how I just persuaded my malingering children to stop swinging the lead and go to school on a day when I'm hoping to get a lot of editing done. (But without the taser.)
Parent = half BFF, half bouncer. I'd never thought of it that way before. Ta, Islander :-)
Back on thread: these guys are so totally up for it.

Jolisa - your link is very, very, very relevant to my interests :-)

Absolutely. I mean, short of tattooing "take me" on their foreheads, it's hard to see how much clearer those chaps could make their intentions.
(Also, this thread had me digging through my archives in search of the relevant Kaz Cooke cartoon - the one with the caption "I say, Kath, you're looking pretty fetching in that boiler suit.")

I do have to have a slight word with the guy on the subway. Please don't curl your covers around like that. Have some respect for the book as an object.
But otherwise, the point stands.

Yous Chicks always find something we do annoying eh?

How about everyone gets to do what they want with their books?
A friend once picked up a book of mine she was going to borrow and expressed her shock at dismay at the fact that I had folded some of the page corners. Needless to say, she didnt' get to borrow the book.
