apparently, some genius male celebrities have decided it's time to bring back short shorts.  We should fight this, with violence if necessary . . .

Fashion is highly reliant on poor memory or knowledge of the past.

Many are fully aware of the mistakes of the past.... they are betting most are not.

Generally i agree. 

Unless it's above 85 degrees and 80% humidity. Then, my fat yankee ass is in shorts. And tennis shoes. 

But my shorts go to my knees.

Ya'll clearly have chicken legs. With these beauties, my wife says I'm allowed to go as short as I want. 

 

But I don't. And as a grown man, I can wear whatever the hell I damn well please.

I suggest you young folk Google up some Dr J pictures for reference.

Not great, but better than the clown pants that were around a while ago.

No. Just No. Some things need to be dead forever. Bell bottoms, half shirts, high waist jeans, parachute pants. FWIW I grew up as many in the 70's 80's and wore all of the above.  THIS DOES NOT MAKE IT A GOOD IDEA TO DO THE SAME

I just knew if I kept wearing the short shorts I bought in the '70's, sooner or later they'd come back into style.

Shorts are the modern kilt. Prove me wrong.

I do agree that short shorts are a bit wrong on grown men, but in southern heat and humidity, jungle rot must be fought.

Shorts / cut offs are one thing.  Larry Bird / NBA shorts from the 80’s again?  Hell no!

I rock the hell out of my short shorts, especially while on the riding mower. I got nice legs.

Since I am retired I wear shorts about 8 months out of the year.  But, my wife threw out my 60s gym shorts that were uber short many many years ago.
