Come on, we all know MSN is so hip it has difficulty seeing over my pelvis, right?
I mean, anything controlled by Bill Gates has to be coooool…
I’m being slightly facetious, but if anything less than 90% of indie-rock musicians wear pants other than a very slim-fitting, rather light wash of jeans that generally makes them look like they weigh <110 pounds, I’ll eat an eggplant (and I really hate eggplant).
No worries; for every woman who doesn’t like boots (or any other particular item of clothing), there’s another one of us who likes them just fine. Even with shorts and while in a bass boat. 
Nothing photographic that’s of an electronic scottish nature, but I will try to find a friend who can scan and post some photos.
But here’s a shot of me and Samclem at a Dopefest last year.
Can I hijack a little here to say how much I like Robot Arm’s skull-covered Hawaiian shirt? I want one. It would seem to neutralize any amount of khaki.
Oh, and Mr. Arm – pay up. Seems you’re in danger of slipping into the khaki-clad purgatory of “guest” status.
Tucking in shows the world you don’t have a flabby belly to hide, if that applies to you. I’ve been married for 10 years so I’m way out of the game too, but if I were single and dating I’m not sure wearing a tentlike shirt over everything would be the best move. And casual shirts can be tentlike. I bought a hemp-fiber T on the Venice Boardwalk a few years ago, and it came down to mid-thigh. I had to take it to a tailer and have three inches taken off.
I’d like to inform you that I’m wearing Birkenstocks right now. I wouldn’t usually wear them to the office, even on Casual Friday, but I have an injured toe and they’re more comfortable that way. Birkenstocks are simply practical in the summer. No one’s given me a good explanation regarding why women get away with sockless open shoes and sandals all. the. time. and. everywhere. and men are expected to always. wear. full-coverage. shoes. and. socks. Even in summer. Why does having a Y chromosome (is that right?) mean you can’t be comfortable?
Because men have really, really, ugly feet which should be kept covered at all times.
What **Surly Chick ** said. No pedicure, no sandals, period. Now, to be fair, some men may get regular pedicures, in which case I suppose they should be allowed to wear sandals. Many women don’t, and shouldn’t.
True, I myself have particularly large, hair-covered hobbit feet.
I dunno – my feet are pretty freakin’ ugly, and I wear sandals all summer.
It’s anti-objectification I tell you. Women complain about being objectified as something to look at; we guys are being increasingly anti-objectified by being told we have to cover up because our bodies are too hideous to look at. Obviously a lot of guys do look better when covered up as much as possible, and some guys do have gross toenail disorders and should stick to shoes, but to have that aesthetic dictated to all of us really sucks. You’d have freaked if you’d lived through the 70s. Guys’ toes and bare thighs were in plain view all over the place.
I’ve only been hearing about this sandal thing for the past couple of years; are the Birkenstock shops going to switch soon to cater only to women? If so I’d better buy a couple more pairs.
I like a man in just socks, myself.
Sweetcheeks, I lived thru the 70’s - had Farrah hair and the whole nine yards. And I believe toe socks were invented during that decade. Specifically with men in mind…
Sorry, I believe the current preferred term is “sugartits.”
Can one call a man “sugartits?”
It’s the '00s – why not? 
Thanks. Here you go.
Although I notice it has not generated quite as much swoonage among the doperettes as I would have hoped for.
Yeah, I just got the renewal e-mail a day or two ago and was blocked from the site today. I re-upped. How did you know I was on borrowed time anyway?
Some men, yes. On formal occaisions I prefer “Angelbumps”.
The telltale “guest” was appearing there under your name for a bit. Glad to see it’s gone.
