Imagine yourself in America’s west, big red rock canyons and spires along the banks of the Colorado river. I’m pulling up to the dock to launch our boats, my friends are following. Then, there at the water’s edge, a man steps out of the bushes. He’s wearing a shirt and a silvery thong, not a speedo or banana hammock but a damn thong. It’s silver and it’s soiled. He says ‘Hi Brother!’ and walks away. Bile rose in my throat. The guy was like 50 something. Gross. Can anyone suggest why in the hell someone would attired like this? Way out in the middle of the desert? yuck. :eek:
Euro. What do you mean by soiled?

Probably because that’s what he wanted to wear. I’d be surprised if he gave a fuck what you thought.

Just plain dirty, no feces, urine or semen, but still…
Middle of the desert with nobody else around? You’re lucky he was wearing anything at all.
How perfectly horrible for you. Well-a-day, well-a-day. I can’t imagine how you’ll ever get over that.
Funny, on my trip on the Colorado, one guy in our party had a shiny purple satin thong which he occasionally wore. We all thought it was funny as hell.
Perhaps you ought to chill out.
What are you, some sortta togophobe?

That is the first time I have ever seen the word Well-a-day (welladay) used in a sentence. A soiled, silvery sort of a sentence.

Well, you did say there was a lake or something there. Maybe he was about to take a dip?
Sometimes people wear swimsuits like that because it’s as far as they can go and still be legal. If our damned repressive culture were a little more relaxed about nudity, then there’d be more places where one can actually be nude, and you’d probably not see nearly as many people wearing extreme swimsuits like that. Though I haven’t seen anyone wearing a thong in years, male or female.

So, you’re saying the goggles, they did nothing?

So, was it the attire you objected to, or the fact that it was an older man? I hate the attitude that the old, the fat, and the ugly should remained covered at all times, especially in sweltering heat in the middle of nowhere, or else it’s “gross.” If you just don’t like revealing clothes, well, we can agree to disagree, but if the sight of a less-than-perfect body revolts you, I’d suggest therapy.
It was “gross”? Really? What are you, 12? :rolleyes:
If chicks can walk around with their ass cheeks hanging out then men should be able to too.
