You wear the costume, you play the part….

Okay, it might be an age thing, but I just do not get wearing your pants so big that they are nearly falling off.

What is the strong desire to have your boxers or briefs show 8 to 10 inches above the waist line of your pants?

What is the strong desire to walk with your legs apart so that your pants do not fall down.

I JUST DO NOT GET IT! How is this fashion?

I have heard that it stems from people who have been in prison and are not provided with properly fitted pants. Yet…I still do not get it. How can it be possible to be comfortable? I remember when I lost weight, and as my pants got bigger they certainly were less comfortable to me.

What is it-- are all these guys running around with their boxers/briefs hanging out getting discounts on their pants from the BVD companies?

I work in a probation office, and one of the officers has said that it just makes it easier for law enforcement to catch them if they try to run. They have to grab their package and hold it so their pants stay up and are only running with one arm pumping which then slows them down.

So…again…I just do not get it...

I sadly recall one day my husband and I were leaving a store in a local shopping center, and as we passed a family that had just gotten out of a car there was a small boy, not even school age, walking with his little 'gansta' pants on, holding them at the waist so he did not lose them. How sad is that?

Boy, that is teaching them young, and if I am still working in the probation office 15 years from now, I would be willing to bet that same young boy comes through these doors as a broken young man.

I realize that clothing does not always make the man, but, often when you wear the costume, you play the part….
