I'm not sure that Bane would care about what some U.S town thinks of his saggy pants.

Indeed, no one in the town even cared who he was, until he put the saggy pants on.

Yeah but if Mario gets arrested then Luigi might finally get his turn in the limelight

I think that says a lot about your attitude in general.

Huh. I guess it's a Louisiana thing in general.

Louisiana doesn't have counties. They have parishes. I grew up in LA and have lived in Texas for 15 years. No discernible difference between a Parish and a County.

Mario's a celebrity, he'll just get a slap on the wrist. Luigi is who will get in real trouble.

Er...you know at least one state doesn't have counties, but parishes right?

Yeah, I saw that after the fact. The parish was never something I'd learned to be a still existing level of state organization. Looks like only Louisiana does it too. Alaska has something similar, but it's boroughs and census areas instead. Bizarre.

Wait, what?

I'm generally of the opinion that you look like an ass, if you'll pardon the expression, with your pants hanging all saggy and goofy looking.

Back in my day we wore JNCOs, and we were happy about it! We also walked to school uphill both ways, and, inexplicably, there was always snow.

I just looked up JNCO's man those things are way too baggy.

The 90s were a strange time, young one.

I was born in 1993 so I got to see some of the 90's, but honestly I was too young to remember much of it.

And now I feel old.

I do remember the baggy jean look being popular in 90's and early 2000's.

Remeber your Baggy/Saggy Pants rules



That 2" is very very important.

Also we will finally find out if the following is true

I do wonder why cops don't catch more runners than they do.

I may or may not have done this at one point during a house party after running out of spirits.

I was going to defend your right to ware whatever you want when doing a "beer run" at a house party, but then I realised I may not have a problem with you wareing PJ's to the shop, but WTF were you doing with them on at the party in the first place.

Also, it's onesies outside that are the real problem. I saw two girls with them on last weekend. Seriously, how difficult is it to put on a t-shirt and pair of trousers?

I must admit that as a student I have been to the shop a few times in PJ's, but that was 10 years ago, and just roung the corner to get a paper and a bottle of OJ to kill the hang over. Not doing my weekly shop or whatever, and I was a student so you can get away with gak like that. They were probably the cleanest clothes I ownedm at the time.

Going to the shop in your pyjamas is just... no...

I mean it wouldn't be so bad if it was being perpetrated by underwear models, but it's grotty unwashed masses that do this kind of thing.

Most uncouth!

Baneing saggy pants is only ok if you bane old men tucking their pants under their armpits.
I dunno what happens to your groin area when you get older but when taking the piss out of my dad and trying this oldman pants manoeuver myself there is a noticable bump, however i can't recall ever seeing such a bump on an old man wearing his pants at the same height.

Why do they do this? does your waist travel upwards as you get older?
I really don't know what i find more bizarre the "ill show off my ass pants" or the "I'll totally crush my nuts pants" .
Hopefully some of you old men will be able to tell me.

Hopefully some of you old men will be able to tell me.

I'm glad/happy I'm medicated for your safety

You serious? Bloomberg led the charge to ban the Big Gulp sized drinks... which incidentially, the drinks from Starbucks were exempted due to having "some" milk.

It's been overturned.

I live in Kentucky.

Do you honestly think I ever look up what's going on in New York on any given day?

Although I will admit that's a sign that there's some serious issues with New York state if laws against the size of soft drinks are making it into effect.

It was kinda all over the national news and the currant war people are waging on Obesity. And similar to the gun debate, they're pretty much barking up the wrong tree.

While I do find saggy pants annoying and yes it does make me sound like an old person. Still I don't think this need a ban. We have dozens of important things to solve like bugets and road maintance and what have you but yes by all means lets waste time and money on some kids drowers. /sigh

According to Nintendo, we are currently living in the year of Luigi.

So yeah not very exciting.

Also, next up for baneing: glasses frames without lenses.

O How about skinny jeans on men, that annoys me too.

It doesn't annoy me as much as the Currant War.

Fines= more money in coffer...

Is that their way of saying that the WiiU will be playing second fiddle to Microsoft and Sony's consoles?

I'd also like to voice my support for the banning of skinny jeans on men
