And thank you for that lovely image! If you’ll excuse me, I need to wash out my brain with some bleach.
At the very worst, I wear my beach shorts high up when I hit the water. So that it doesn’t fall off when I’m in it.
Poor old means. Then aren’t a man or men at all. Always stuck halfway in between just like the half child in a family of two and a half children.
EM: You’re welcome!
Trust me, I spared you a picture of a conglomerate of old crack bending over. They burned holes in my retinas!
Kami: What are they then, in nappies??
Nice try, but after surviving the moobs, I can never be hurt, ever ever again. It’s like I’ve acquired a superpower.
And then you have the kids at the complete opposite end of the spectrum – gigantic shorts that are worn so low it’s amazing they even stay on. I dunno which is worse, frankly.
Nappies? What are nappies?
And I have never worn a Speedo – they aren’t as common place on the beaches that I frequent, and I couldn’t be happier.
Peefer: Oh no… Have I desensitised you on my blog? Hmm… must think of a new strategy… *scratches head*
Gboy: I haven’t seen those… yet. But when long boardies slide down revealing a bit too much, may as well slip on a Speedo!
GSR: Nappies are what you call diapers.
Go on… be brave! Don’t wait till you’re an old man to do it. The time is … now!
I sure do hope I age gracefully.
Egan: With your physique, you probably will. Just don’t pull your Speedos up to your waist…
Hee! Funny.
And true.
And gross.
Only certain men should even wear Speedo.
… and only certain women should wear thongs.
’nuff said.
SM: All three. At once. I wonder if they realise why they’re doing it.
LB: Agreed! As for thongs-G-strings, they had their hey day here some years back, including the men… hairy bums were on display. Maybe that was the beach I used to frequent…
Somehow I picture an actual half a child, but that’s just me.
Wait…what were we talking about again?
Kami: Old men’s sagging jewels in Speedos… not kiddies!
[...] 9. Bring your radio to the beach and listen to talk show stations without ear phones and I’ll wear my iPod and start bopping on my towel to give you the hint. After laughing at you in your old man Speedos. [...]
[...] you have Speedos. Referred to as dick pointers, budgy smugglers, ballhuggers, lolly bags or old men’s jewels’ supporters, these were seen at the height of sun and surf fashion in the 80s and still adorn some muscular and [...]
