      I always assume guys like this either don’t own proper clothes or are too lazy to do laundry. If they think they are impressing people with their “toughness,” they are deluding themselves.

        Are you sure it was taken today? In any event I agree with you. The whole “grown men dressing like kids” thing is ridiculous.

          I assumed it was taken today and that that was the point. I also assumed DM took it as there is no credit listed.

            Are we sure that the guy in shorts is NOT Mr. DM?

              If it is, he is clearly inviting us to mock him so he can kick our butts into “moderation” when he gets a chance!

          What is this conversation you all are having? It was taken on Monday, wonderful Monday, which explains the shorts. It was supposed to a be a shot that focused on the new storefront.

            Oh. In the words of Emily Litella: Never mind.

        Also guys over the age of 18 in skinny jeans. It just ain’t right.

          Especially larger guys. It reminds me of Chris Farley’s fat guy in a little coat bit in Tommy Boy.

        I always assume guys who snark like this either have no life and make disparaging comments about random people’s appearances to pass the time, or to elevate their own status in the eyes of others by seeming somehow better than said random people whose picture is appearing probably without their knowledge or consent. They probably think they’re impressing people, and we’re all like “hey, did this guy write caption for Vice magazine, or what?” They too are delusional.

        • brianc says:

          No delusions here about my snark skills, which are clearly inferior to yours. Of course, I probably took less time out of my life to post my jab than you took to jab back.
          P.S. Grown men and women who wear shorts on thirty-degree days still look like dufuses.

            Don’t forget about grown men wearing flip flops where no large body of water or sand exists…

        • DEM says:
          January 24, 2014 at 2:21 pm

          What are we to assume about people who make disparaging comments (extensively, no less) about others commenting on a dude wearing shorts when it is 15 degrees?

            hey, this is all about taking potshots, so go for it. at least i opened myself up to being a target of assumptions and judgement, unlike the person in the photo… i “assume.”

              IP, don’t sweat it. I blame it on the trees. Like that one in the background, just standing there, taunting us with its branches.

              In all seriousness, we do have a pretty downtown. Nice photo, DM

              My potshot wasn’t specific to the guy in the picture (which I wrongly assumed was taken when it’s freezing out) but about anyone who dresses like a doofus on frigid days. It could have been anyone. It could have been you.

                i’m sorry. i understood what you wrote the first time. my apologies if i gave you a different impression.

      Which storefront was the meat market?

      See the round Shield’s sign on the yellow-brown storefront
